The present article report the results of longitudinally research, on growth children, of both sex and ages from 0 to 1 year of extrauterine life. We obtained measures that appraisal the muscular and fat tissues: upper arm and leg circumferences; muscle and fat of upper arm areas; triceps, subscapular and supra-iliac skinfolds. Moreover, we report relationship dates between weight and stature, which is a good indicator for morphological body equilibrium.

Purpose: To ascertain whether Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME) elicits effects on the functioning of the middle ear and air-bone gaps in children and adolescents.

Methods: Single-arm clinical trial, with data collection at four time points: before initiating Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME) (T0), upon completion of RME (T1), three months post-RME completion (T2), and six months post-RME procedure (T3). The audiological assessment, conducted at all four time points, comprised otoscopy, pure tone and speech audiometry, tympanometry, and acoustic reflex investigation.

The 55-carbon isoprenoid, undecaprenyl-phosphate (UndP), is a universal carrier lipid that ferries most glycans and glycopolymers across the cytoplasmic membrane in bacteria. In addition to peptidoglycan precursors, UndP transports O-antigen, capsule, wall teichoic acids, and sugar modifications. How this shared but limited lipid is distributed among competing pathways is just beginning to be elucidated.
