Renormalons in exclusive meson electroproduction [PDF]
We discuss the possibility of measuring generalized parton distributions in exclusive electroproduction of mesons off the nucleon and estimate the uncertainty from perturbatively induced higher-twist corrections. We find that, while the magnitude of the cross section changes significantly taking into account twist-four contributions modeled via ...

Post-hatching parental care behaviour and hormonal status in a precocial bird [PDF]
In birds, the link between parental care behaviour and prolactin release during incubation persists after hatching in altricial birds, but has never been precisely studied during the whole rearing period in precocial species, such as ducks. The present study aims to understand how changes in parental care after hatching are related to circulating ...

The Effects of Precocious Puberty on Oral Health: A Case Report [PDF]
Introduction. The elevated rate of steroid sexual hormones during puberty affects the inflammatory response of the gingival tissue. Complex biological reactions performed at that level cause exaggerated gingival inflammation, not corresponding to the ...

Central Precocious Puberty as a Sign of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: Case Presentations [PDF]
Central precocious puberty results from the premature activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Rarely congenital adrenal hyperplasia and/or its inappropriate treatment can be a peripheral cause of CPP.

Treatment of Peripheral Precocious Puberty [PDF]
There are many etiologies of peripheral precocious puberty (PPP) with diverse manifestations resulting from exposure to androgens, estrogens, or both. The clinical presentation depends on the underlying process and may be acute or gradual.

Management of post‐implant fibrous dysplasia in the maxilla: A case study
Abstract Background Fibrous dysplasia is generally rare, and even rarer in older adults. Special care is needed when altering the alveolar bone in these cases, especially if an implant is involved. This case study highlights such a scenario. Methods This case study details the experience of a 63‐year‐old African American female who presented with a ...

Grey matter volume correlates with virtual water maze task performance in boys with androgen excess [PDF]
Major questions remain about the specific role of testosterone in human spatial navigation. We tested 10 boys (mean age 11.65 years) with an extremely rare disorder of androgen excess (Familial Male Precocious Puberty, FMPP) and 40 healthy boys (mean age

Self-Concept of Precocious Puberty Among Girls and the Link to Risky Behavior: AN INTEGRATIVE REVIEW [PDF]
Background: Several studies show that early-onset pubertal development is occurring sooner than ever before in female adolescents. While this is problematic in and of itself, concerns about the impact of precocious puberty on young girls include a ...

A rare case of McCune Albright syndrome [PDF]
McCune Albright syndrome is characterized by the clinical triad of precocious puberty, polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, and café-au-lait pigmentation. Authors reported the case of a 6 years old girl presenting with vaginal bleeding.

Physics with Cosmic Neutrinos, PeV to ZeV [PDF]
We begin with a brief overview of highest-energy cosmic ray data, and the experiments which will perform neutrino astronomy. We then discuss two particle physics aspects of neutrinos. They are possible long-lifetime decay of the neutrino, and a measurement of the neutrino-nucleon cross-section at a CMS energy orders of magnitude beyond what can be ...
