Interest in growth hormone, its regulation and its therapeutic use has grown since the introduction of genetically engineered growth hormones in 1985. Not only has the essentially limitless availability of growth hormone widened the potential application for its use, but it has also changed the criteria defining growth hormone deficiency previously imposed by the chronic shortages of pituitary growth hormone obtained at post-mortem. "Growth in Childhood" comprises a collection of eight essays written by experts in the field of growth failure. Topics discussed include the practical problems of measuring growth, the physiology of growth failure and its epidemiology, diseases associated with short stature and the application of growth hormone therapy. How to handle puberty in short children, the role of industry in the production of growth horome and its responsibility to society at large are included along with comments by the Chairman of the British Growth Foundation on the social perspectives of small stature and its management. Providing an up-to-date perspective on growth management, this book should be of interest to the educated public, clinical medical students, paediatricians, hospital doctors and general practitioners.
