DOI: 10.1080/19490976.2023.2190301
Abstract: ABSTRACT Growth failure is among the most prevalent and devastating consequences of prematurity. Up to half of all extremely preterm neonates struggle to grow despite modern nutrition practices. Although elegant preclinical models suggest causal roles… read more here.

Growth failure among children of adolescent mothers at ages 0–5 and 6–12 years in India
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences"
DOI: 10.1111/nyas.14984
Abstract: Adolescent motherhood has been linked with poor health outcomes at birth for children, including high neonatal mortality, low birthweight, and small‐for‐gestational‐age rates. However, longer‐term growth outcomes in the children of adolescent mothers in low‐resource settings… read more here.

Current dichotomous metrics obscure trends in severe and extreme child growth failure
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Science Advances"
DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abm8954
Abstract: Historically, the prevalence of child growth failure (CGF) has been tracked dichotomously as the proportion of children more than 2 SDs below the median of the World Health Organization growth standards. However, this conventional “thresholding”… read more here.

Growth failure and metabolic acidosis due to total body sodium depletion in an infant with an ileostomy
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "BMJ Case Reports"
DOI: 10.1136/bcr-2021-241570
Abstract: Sodium is an essential nutrient and inadequate sodium intake and/or excessive sodium losses can result in suboptimal growth. Infants with ileostomies are at significant risk of developing growth failure as a result of excessive sodium… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2021-057241
Abstract: Introduction Antibiotics have been used as an adjunct in treating children with severe acute malnutrition 6–59 months of age; however, the data for infants less than 6 months are scarce. The WHO recently started guideline development… read more here.

CDKN1C hyperexpression in two patients with severe growth failure and microdeletions affecting the paternally inherited KCNQ1OT1:TSS-DMR
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Medical Genetics"
DOI: 10.1136/jmg-2022-108700
Abstract: Background Two imprinting control centres, H19/IGF2:IG-differentialy methylated region (DMR) and KCNQ1OT1:TSS-DMR, reside on chromosome 11p15.5. Paternal deletions involving the KCNQ1OT1:TSS-DMR result in variable phenotypes, namely, normal phenotype, Silver-Russel syndrome (SRS) and fetal demise. However, expression… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12887-020-1986-5
Abstract: Background Prematurity is the leading cause of mortality in children under 5 years of age globally and is also frequently associated with postnatal growth failure (PGF). Although most preterm births occur in low resource settings, little… read more here.

Pre- and postdiagnosis growth failure, adult short stature, and untreated growth hormone deficiency in radiotherapy-treated long-term survivors of childhood brain tumor
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "PLoS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0274274
Abstract: Purpose Growth failure is common in radiotherapy-treated long-term survivors of pediatric brain tumors, but studies on longitudinal growth in this patient group are lacking. Here, the aim was to assess the changes in growth patterns… read more here.

Abstract: The terms ‘idiopathic short stature’ (ISS) and ‘small for gestational age’ (SGA) were first used in the 1970s and 1980s. ISS described non-syndromic short children with undefined aetiology who did not have growth hormone (GH)… read more here.

The crosstalk between FGF21 and GH leads to weakened GH receptor signaling and IGF1 expression and is associated with growth failure in very preterm infants
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Frontiers in Endocrinology"
DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1105602
Abstract: Background Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is an essential metabolic regulator that adapts to changes in nutritional status. Severe childhood undernutrition induces elevated FGF21 levels, contributing to growth hormone (GH) resistance and subsequent linear growth… read more here.
