Originally rendered in the form of epic painted canvases, these strategies are now amplified through gigapixel imaging, computer vision and machine learning. Whether for scientific analysis, dissemination, or to visualize cultural big data, panoramic strategies pivot on the illusion of immersion.

Improved General and Height-Specific Quality of Life in Children With Short Stature After 1 Year on Growth Hormone.

User assessment of Norditropin NordiFlex(®), a new prefilled growth hormone pen: a Phase IV multicenter prospective study.

Unlabelled: BACKGROUNDAIM: In growth disorders, ensuring long-term growth hormone therapy (GHT) remains a challenge that might compromise the clinical outcome. Consequently, strategies aiming at alleviating the burden of daily injection might improve the treatment benefit. The study reported here was performed to assess the ease of use of Norditropin NordiFlex(®) (Novo Nordisk, Princeton, NJ, USA) compared with that of the devices previously used in children treated with GHT with recombinant somatropin.
