Risk of Iodine Deficiency in Extremely Low Gestational Age Newborns on Parenteral Nutrition

TL;DR: Iodine deficiency is prevalent among pregnant women and ELGAN; in particular, those on PN are at risk of hypothyroidism and Iodine supplementation during pregnancy and postnatally should be considered to avoid iodine deficiency.

Insulin-Like Growth Factors and Their Binding Proteins: Biological Actions*

TL;DR: In recognition of its generalized pleiotypic actions, sulfation factor was renamed somatomedin (mediator of the effects of somatotropin) and was included in the emerging classification of broad spectrum growth factors along with platelet derived growth factor, fibroblast growth factors, and epidermal growth factor.
