Boys are heavier than girls at term birth. Children with a 46,XY karyotype and androgen insensitivity syndrome (clinically complete form and/or proven mutations in the androgen receptor gene) were found to have a birth weight comparable to that of girls. These findings support the hypothesis that the difference in birth weight between boys and girls is

Fetal growth factors and fetal nutrition
Seminars in Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2013Optimal fetal growth is important for a healthy pregnancy outcome and also for lifelong health. Fetal growth is largely regulated by fetal nutrition, and mediated via the maternal and fetal glucose/insulin/insulin-like growth factor axes. Fetal nutrition may reflect maternal nutrition, but abnormalities of placental function can also affect fetal ...

Clinics in Perinatology, 1986
Normal fetal growth is a logarithmic process, marked by rapid mitosis at its early stages and by cellular hypertrophy and the accumulation of fat, glycogen, and connective tissue later in gestation. Growth-retarding influences can alter cell number, with a symmetric pattern of IUGR resulting if they occur early.

1 r e p o r t that the rate of pneumonia was about 20% lower in elderly stroke patients given amantadine than in those without active treatment. Although aspiration and swallowing disorders put stroke patients at highest risk of aspiration pnemonia, 2 the protective role of amantadine in this condition in elderly patients with previous stroke may not ...

Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1993
Prior to the introduction of ultrasound, Nägele's rule was the primary method for determining gestational age. Ultrasound has enabled a more accurate estimation of gestational age, allowing for improved detection of the fetus who is small for gestational age and reducing the number of women who are diagnosed as being overdue. The latest biometry charts

Seminars in Perinatology, 2008
Normal fetal growth is determined by the genetically predetermined growth potential and further modulated by maternal, fetal, placental, and external factors. Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a failure to reach this potential and is clinically suspected if sonographic estimates of fetal weight, size, or symmetry are abnormal.

Early Human Development, 1998
Essential factors for normal fetal growth include the correct utilization by the fetus of a suitable supply of energy and plastic nutrients, together with the adequate genic expression of the factors promoting tissue growth and an optimal hormonal framework.

IUGR is a fetal disorder characterized by diminished fetal growth, especially in the third trimester. Growth retardation may be due to primary placental insufficiency or may result from a variety of maternal or fetal causes and is associated with elevated perinatal mortality and morbidity. Numerous conventional and Doppler ultrasound criteria have been

Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 1995
Nutrient supply to the fetus is a key factor in the regulation of fetal growth. However, the direct supply of nutrients to provide building blocks for tissue growth is likely to be only a minor component of this regulation. The indirect effects of nutrition on fetal endocrine and metabolic status, and on the interaction between the fetus, placenta and ...

Individualized Norms of Optimal Fetal Growth: Fetal Growth Potential
Obstetric Anesthesia Digest, 2008To demonstrate that individualized optimal fetal growth norms, accounting for physiologic and pathologic determinants of fetal growth, better identify normal and abnormal outcomes of pregnancy than existing methods.In a prospective cohort of 38,033 singleton pregnancies, we identified 9,818 women with a completely normal outcome of pregnancy and ...
