Filter by:Women of short stature tend to be classified regarding fetal growth by the same criteria as women of normal and tall stature. The objective of the following study is to evaluate fetal growth patterns parallel to women's height and try to make conclusions regarding possible definitions of subjective Intra-uterine growth restriction.
Doses of intrathecal bupivacaine based on patients either height or height and weight has shown to lower the risk of maternal hypotension with similar quality of anesthesia compared to conventional doses. In clinical practice there is a tendency of reducing the dose of bupivacaine as either low fixed dose or using the doses based on either height and weight or height (0.06mg/cm) alone in parturient with short stature. However, there is lack of evidence regarding the appropriate dose required in this group of patients. Therefore, our aim is to compare the height versus height and weight based intrathecal bupivacaine dose for elective caesarean on maternal haemodynamics in short stature patients.
The purpose of the study is to measure the functional effects of recombinant GH in skeletal muscle, in addition to growth promotion, in short prepubertal boys with either growth hormone deficiency or idiopathic short stature. Patients will be similarly short. The investigators will also compare these values in the short stature cohort to those obtained in testing performed in normally growing age-matched healthy control boys not on GH. The group on GH will be studied before and after 6 and 12 months of GH treatment.
The study compares 2 medicines used for the treatment of children who are born small and who stayed small: somapacitan given once a week (a new medicine) and Norditropin® given once a day (the medicine doctors can already prescribe). Participants will either get somapacitan or Norditropin® - which treatment is decided by chance. Both participants and the study doctor will know which treatment the participants get. The study will last for 5 years. Participants will take either an injection once every week or once every day.
Phase 1: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of 0.05mg/kg/d of rhGH (Jintropin®) in the treatment of children with idiopathic short stature (ISS) in 52 weeks. Phase 2: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of rhGH (Jintropin®) in the treatment of children with ISS in 2 years
Background: Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a connective tissue disorder. OI affects many aspects of a person s health and growth. It can cause frequent fractures, short stature, and bowing of the long bones. There is no known cure for OI so researchers want to learn more about it. Objectives: To obtain a natural history of the course of OI. To find changes in genes that affect the disease. Eligibility: People from birth to age 12 years with certain types of OI People who previously had childhood data collected in certain other protocols Design: Participants will stay in the clinic for a few days each visit. Visits will be about every 3-4 months to age 5 then about every 6-12 months. Visits may include: Medical history Physical exam Hearing test Dental exam Blood, urine, and heart tests Breathing measured while wearing a clear plastic hood for about 30 minutes Tests of motion, strength, and motor skills X-rays of the left hand, chest, legs, and spine Bone density scan. Participants will lie on a flat table while a very small dose of x-rays is passed through the body. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans. Participants will lie on an exam table that moves in and out a scanner. Breathing tests using stickers on the chest, a light probe on a finger or foot, and a face mask Ultrasound of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder Questionnaires A small section of skin removed from the arm or thigh For some tests, participants may take medicine to make them sleepy. Participants may give separate consent for photos to be taken.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant human growth hormone injection in short stature children due to chronic kidney disease before transplantation.
The purpose of this study is to collect information about safety and effectiveness for long term use of Norditropin®. Participants will attend the medical institution according to usual practice and receive medical care, as agreed with the study doctor.
The proposed study is an extension study to two ongoing double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled studies evaluating the effect of gender-specific nutritional supplementation on growth of short and lean adolescent boys and girls. The aim of the current study is to extend these short term double blind, randomized, placebo controlled studies (one in boys and one in girls) and to add an extension study, which will evaluate the long term effect of the gender specific nutritional supplementation on final height. Patients completing the ongoing studies will be offered to continue treatment with the study formula until final height. Patients reluctant to continue to consume the study formula will be offered to continue followup only during the extension study without any intervention.
This is an open-label, single-arm prospective pilot study to study the effects of a single dose regimen of daily growth hormone medication (Norditropin) on pre-pubertal children with Aggrecan deficiency. The growth response will be tracked over a 12 month period. A protocol extension has been approved to continue subjects on treatment for an additional 2 years.
