Short Stature: Beyond Growth Hormone
Short stature refers to a height less than two standard deviations below the mean for a given age and gender. The effective investigation of short stature pathology in children combines clinical assessment, to view symptoms and bodily dysfunctions; endocrine assessment, to determine hormone levels and sensitivity; and increasingly advanced genetic analysis. Many children of short stature do not have an identified underlying pathology, thus assigned as having idiopathic short stature (ISS). Consequently, the ISS population can be subdivided into those with ‘normal variants’ of growth, termed familial short stature (FSS) and non-familial short stature (NFSS), including constitutional delay of growth and puberty (CDGP). These categories can then separate from that of children with ISS who show a different etiology.

Drawing on archives, histories, police reports, devotional literature, ephemera and a wealth of other sources, Catherine Emerson examines how one smaller-than-lifesized water source has come to embody a certain sort of Brussels identity.

Les auteurs se sont intéressées à la position qu'elle occupent dans la société romaine, nullement symétrique à celle de l'homme, au même titre qu'à leurs pratiques quotidiennes et privées. On les observe dans leur intérieur ou leur jardin ; dans leur vie domestique ou dans les métiers qu'elles ont pu exercer ; en société, au théâtre ou en vacances, avec leurs enfants, leur mari ou encore leurs amants ; en compagnie de leurs amis, de leurs esclaves. Et, dans chacune de ces occasions, est interrogée la place au sein du droit, de...
