TL;DR: As the programme grows, these actions will pose new problems for the sus tainability of large-scale CHW programmes, and might again lay bare the tensions between the diff erent expec tations and descriptions of the CHW.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential Effect of Race on the Axial and Appendicular Skeletons of Children

TL;DR: Compared to white children, vertebral bone density and femoral cross-sectional area at sexual maturity were, on the average, 10.75% and 5.7% higher, respectively, in black children, which may contribute to the racial differences in the prevalence of osteoporosis between black and white adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Androgen and the development of human sex-typical behavior: rough-and-tumble play and sex of preferred playmates in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH)
TL;DR: Girls with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, who experience higher than normal levels of androgens prenatally, would show masculinization of behaviors that show sex differences, and the preferences of girls with CAH were masculinized compared to those of unaffected girls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential effect of gender on the sizes of the bones in the axial and appendicular skeletons.
Vicente Gilsanz,Arzu Kovanlikaya,Gertrude Costin,Thomas F. Roe,James Sayre,Francine R. Kaufman +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that although increases in mechanical loading associated with growth are the main determinant of the cross-sectional properties of the appendicular skeleton in children, factors other than body mass and related to gender have a significant role in the regulation of the sizes of the bones in the axial skeleton.
