Growth, endocrine function and quality of life after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation Bakker, B.

As the logistic component of the negative effect of the pubertal growth spurt in the reference population was greater in boys compared with girls, the greater loss of height

At the last examination final height (height velocity <1 cm/year) was reached by 18 of the 21 patients (12 boys and 9 girls) who were treated before puberty and had not

The questionnaire included queries regarding the primary haematological disorder, irradiation therapy used during first-line treatment (between diagnosis and pre-BMT

Of the 19 TBI treated patients, 12 received TBI before 1987, which means that they did not have their eyes shielded to reduce the radiation dose to the.. Two of these patients had

A recently published in vitro study on irradiated avian growth plate chondrocytes 21 describes a dose-dependent decrease in both PTHrP mRNA and PTHrP protein (but not

Although the absolute levels of IGF-l and IGFBP-3 were not different between the radiation groups, the lower IGF-1/IGFBP-3 ratio of the animals in the high- dose group suggests

It is one of the largest single-centre studies on growth and final height after TBI-based conditioning for HCT, and the first study to analyse the effects of unfractionated TBI
