Biomarkers of systemic inflammation and growth in early infancy are associated with stunting in young Tanzanian children [PDF]

, 2018
Stunting can afflict up to one-third of children in resource-constrained countries. We hypothesized that low-grade systemic inflammation (defined as elevations in serum C-reactive protein or alpha-1-acid glycoprotein) in infancy suppresses the growth ...

Modelling length-at-age variability under irreversible growth [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2007
In this paper, we describe a discrete-time formalism for describing the dynamics of the size-at-age distribution of a cohort of individuals exhibiting irreversible von Bertalanffy growth in a statistically uniform random environment. This formalism yields a highly efficient numerical implementation, which is particularly suited to automatic ...

Evaluating the Utility of Paired Tumor and Germline Targeted DNA Sequencing for Pediatric Oncology Patients: A Single Institution Report

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the diagnostic yield and utility of universal paired tumor–normal multigene panel sequencing in newly diagnosed pediatric solid and central nervous system (CNS) tumor patients and to compare the detection of germline pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants (PV/LPVs) against established clinical referral criteria for cancer ...

Age-growth models for tilapia Oreochromis aureus (Perciformes, Cichlidae) of the Infiernillo reservoir, Mexico and reproductive behaviour

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2006
In presence of a decrease in the catch from Infiernillo reservoir, Michoacán-Guerrero, México, age and growth of tilapia Oreochromis aureus (Steindachner 1864) were estimated, as indispensable attributes for fishery management.

Improved estimates of growth for wild Yellowtail Kingfish (Seriola lalandi) off eastern-Australia using multiple data sources

Frontiers in Fish Science
Unbiased growth functions are imperative for stock assessment and sustainable management of fisheries. We present a case-study demonstrating implications of data collection biases from fishery-dependent sampling where length-selective fishing occurs ...

Modification of the biological intercept model to account for ontogenetic effects in laboratory-reared delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus)* [PDF]

, 2007
We investigated age, growth, and ontogenetic effects on the proportionality of otolith size to fish size in laboratory-reared delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) from the San Francisco Bay estuary.

On the use of growth models to study normal cognitive aging [PDF]

International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2019
Growth models (GM) of the mixed-effects and latent curve varieties have become popular methodological tools in lifespan research. One of the major advantages of GM is their flexibility in studying individual differences in change. We scrutinized the change functions of GM used in five years of publications on cognitive aging.

NRASQ61R Expression in Lymphatic Endothelial Cells Causes Enlarged Vessels, Hemorrhagic Chylous Effusions, and High Mortality in a Mouse Model of Kaposiform Lymphangiomatosis

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Kaposiform lymphangiomatosis (KLA) is an aggressive complex lymphatic anomaly. Patients exhibit malformed lymphatic vessels and often develop hemorrhagic effusions and elevated angiopoietin‐2 (Ang‐2) levels. A somatic NRAS p.Q61R (NRASQ61R) mutation has been associated with KLA.

Decoding growth parameters of small pelagics: a critical examination of model effectiveness with a focus on the European anchovy

Frontiers in Marine Science
Traditionally, parameters defining life history traits, such as growth, were solely determined through length or age–length databases and then included as fixed in integrated stock assessment models.

Comprehension of Connectives: Development Across Primary School Age and Influencing Factors

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020
Language development is not completed when children enter primary school. As the comprehension of connectives (such as although, despite) is important for understanding and producing academic texts and, thus, relevant for school success, we investigated ...
