Stunting in African children.

Cutting, W A; Elton, R A; Campbell, J L et al.

Arch Dis Child · 1987 · English · PubMed Central

A total of 651 preschool children from rural central Africa were selected by random cluster sampling, weighed, and measured. Two per cent were wasted, but 47% were stunted. As linear growth recovers more slowly than weight repeated infections may give inadequate time for height catch-up.

The Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Medicine, Vol. 11 No. 1 · 1987 · English · DOAJ Scopus

An infectious syndrome of broiler chickens characterized by. stunted growth, poor feathering, leg weakness, poor feed conversion, and loss of pigmentation of the skin. The syndrome was initially reported in Netherland (Kouwenhoven et al., 197848), and have since been described in England (Bracewell…

Growth velocity and stunting in rural Nepal.

Costello, A M

Arch Dis Child · 1989 · English · PubMed Central

…to catch up weight at the expense of height. These results suggest that stunting is caused largely by a reduced growth velocity during the nutrition dependent infantile phase of growth, with some additional impairment and delay in onset of the early childhood phase of growth hormone dependent…

Stunting and future risk of obesity: principal physiological mechanisms

Sawaya Ana Lydia; Roberts Susan

Cadernos de Saúde Pública, Vol. 19 No. suppl.1 · 2003 · Portuguese · DOAJ Scopus

There is a fair amount of epidemiological evidence showing that nutritional stunting causes increased risks of obesity. Obesity is increasing dramatically not only in developed countries but also in developing countries, such as Brazil, especially among the poorer. The mere coexistence of…

STUNTING SYNDROME IN BROILER CHICKENS CLINICAL FIELD AND EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION

Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal, Vol. 29.2 No. 58 · 1993 · English · DOAJ Scopus

a stunting syndrome was observed on most of broiler chicken farms located in Upper Egypt which was characterized by an unusual high incidence of visible unevenness in growth between 10-15 days old with maximum difference in size was seen at four weeks old. Different clinical and pathological…

Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal, Vol. 51 No. 104 · 2005 · English · DOAJ Scopus

120, day old commercial broiler chicks were obtained and divided into two equal groups i.e. control (A) and treatment (B). Each chick of both groups was weighed and then dosed with one ml of either tryptose phosphate broth (A) or prepared inocula (B) at the same day. Chicks of both groups were…

Rous-associated virus type 7 induces a syndrome in chickens characterized by stunting and obesity.

Carter, J K; Ow, C L; Smith, R E

Infect Immun · 1983 · English · PubMed Central

Infection of 10-day-old chicken embryos with an avian retrovirus. Rous-associated virus type 7, resulted in a disease characterized by stunting and hyperlipidemia. By 20 days after hatch, infected chickens were smaller than hatchmates and developed ataxia and obesity over the next 30 days…

Arabidopsis CBF3/DREB1A and ABF3 in Transgenic Rice Increased Tolerance to Abiotic Stress without Stunting Growth

Oh, Se-Jun; Song, Sang Ik; Kim, Youn Shic et al.

Plant Physiol · 2005 · English · PubMed Central

Rice (Oryza sativa), a monocotyledonous plant that does not cold acclimate, has evolved differently from Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), which cold acclimates. To understand the stress response of rice in comparison with that of Arabidopsis, we developed transgenic rice plants that…
