Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on how organisms regulate growth to achieve their final size and shape, especially in multicellular organisms where growth must be coordinated across different tissues and organs.
- - Using the roundworm C. elegans as a model, researchers collected extensive data on growth measurements, feeding behavior, and size changes throughout development.
- - They proposed a model suggesting that physical constraints, specifically cuticle stretch, could inform C. elegans when to transition between developmental stages, influencing their growth rate and timing.
Objectives: Some idiopathic short stature (ISS) patients may have varying degrees of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGFI) deficiency. Others with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) (peak GH < 7 ng/dL after provocation) have normal IGFI levels. Do children with ISS or those with GHD with variable pretreatment IGFI standard deviation score (IGFISDS) have different IGFI and growth responses to recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) therapy?
Methods: We studied the effect of GH therapy (0.
Does priming with sex steroids improve the diagnosis of normal growth hormone secretion in short children?

Introduction: There is still controversy for priming with sex steroid before growth hormone (GH) testing.
Objective: We studied GH response to stimulation in 92 children >9 years with idiopathic short stature (height standard deviation score [HtSDS]-2). They were divided randomly into two groups.
