Cross-sectional studies from our institutions (Wyler Children's Hospital, Chicago, and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia) and others have shown that plasma somatomedin-C (Sm-C) concentrations rise during puberty. To determine the relationship between rising plasma Sm-C levels and the growth spurt at puberty, we undertook a longitudinal study of 11 ...

Pubertal growth spurt in the female rhesus monkey: Relation to menarche and skeletal maturation
American Journal of Human Biology, 1990AbstractThree‐monthly measurements of tibia length, crown‐rump length (CRL), and body wieght have been made on nine indoor‐housed and six outdoor‐housed female rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) from ages 17 to 41 months. In the indoor‐housed there were clear pubertal growth spurts, identifiable in individual curves, with average peaks at 22.5 months for ...

The Value of Shoe Size for Predicting the Timing of the Pubertal Growth Spurt
2010Introduction: Knowing the timing of the pubertal growth spurt is essential for the prognosis and therapy of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Distal body parts have their growth spurt earlier in adolescence, and therefore the growth of the foot could be an early indicator for the growth spurt of total body height.

[Ultrasonography assessment of ossification foci of the wrist and pubertal growth spurt].
La Radiologia medica, 1998High-resolution ultrasound (US) of the hand and wrist was compared with radiography in 26 young patients (mean age: 11.4 years) to be submitted to orthodontic therapy. US scans were targeted on the ossification centers critical for the growth spurt, namely the pisiform and adductor sesamoid bones of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb and the ...

[Investigations on the genesis of the pubertal growth spurt (author's transl)].
Monatsschrift Kinderheilkunde : Organ der Deutschen Gesellschaft fur Kinderheilkunde, 1981The pubertal growth spurt is based on synergistic effects of hGH and androgenic steroids. It fails to appear in androgen deficiency as well as in complete absence of hGH. Apart from the synergism of biological functions there are interactions with regard to the secretion of hGH and androgens. Investigating the nocturnal hGH-secretion in puberty stage 3

[Pubertal growth spurt in the thickness of the bones of the human cranium].
Arkhiv anatomii, gistologii i embriologii, 1985Frontal saw-cuts of 60 human cranial fornices (age 1-21 years) served as the material for the investigation. By means of the microscope MBC-2 thickness of the bones was measured. The age changes of the bone thickness in the cranial fornix are approximated by the function of asymptotic growth TK' = 5.3-3.5 X 10(-0.14(X-1) (mm), where X = 1.2,..., 8 and ...
