	Growth Plate Injuries
		The growth plate, also known as the epiphyseal plate or physis, is the area of growing tissue near the end of the long bones in children and adolescents.
		Approximately half of all growth plate injuries occur in the lower end of the outer bone of the forearm (radius) at the wrist.
		Although many growth plate injuries are caused by accidents that occur during play or athletic activity, growth plates are also susceptible to other disorders, such as bone infection, that can alter their normal growth and development.

	Introduction to mycology
		Exponential growth occurs only for a brief period as a hyphae branches are initiated, and then the new hypha extends at a linear rate into uncolonised regions of substrate.
		The hyphal growth unit (G), which is the average length of hypha which is required to support tip growth, is defined a ratio between the total length of mycelium and the total number of tips.
		Growth is a highly regulated process, and is affected by light, heat, changes in osmolarity, ionic strength of the media and by pressure.

	GROWTH (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		There are two kinds of growth phenomena, (1) growth in numerority, e.g., population growth or growth in the number of cars produced, and (2) growth in structure, e.g., growth of a crystal or of an enterprise.
		Growth (a) by nucleation: in any system, a structure has a minimum size below which it cannot exist above which it may expand, (b) by autocatalysis or (c) according to some kind of plan, e.g., by the rewrite rules of a grammar, or by the dna (see development, embryogenesis).
		In complex systems, (d) structural growth is likely to effect the parts of a system differentially, creating lags and stresses which call either (e) for compensatory activities, e.g., crisis intervention or conflict resolution by a government, or (f) for mediating devices, e.g., exchange networkS or communication technology.

	HGF - Patterns of Growth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A common variant of the usual growth pattern occurs when a child is shorter than average for most of his or her life, then is late entering puberty.
		It is not unusual for this type of growth pattern to run in families - often a father remembers that he didn't have his growth spurt or begin shaving until much later than other boys his age or a mother remembers being late starting her periods.
		Growth hormone deficiency may result from abnormal formation of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus, or damage to one of these areas occurring during or after birth.

	Economic growth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During much of the "Mercantilist" period, growth was seen as involving an increase in the total amount of specie, that is circulating medium such as silver and gold, under the control of the state.
		The modern conception of economic growth began with the critique of Mercantilism, especially by the physiocrats and with the Scottish Enlightenment thinkers such as David Hume and Adam Smith, and the foundation of the discipline of modern political economy.
		The long-run path of economic growth is one of the central questions of economics; in spite of the problems of measurement, an increase in GDP of a country is generally taken as an increase in the standard of living of its inhabitants.

	MedlinePlus Drug Information: Growth Hormone (Systemic) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Growth hormone is naturally produced by the pituitary gland and is necessary to stimulate growth in children.
		Growth hormone is also used in adults to treat growth failure and to treat weight loss caused by acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
		If growth hormone is given to children or adults with normal growth, who do not need growth hormone, serious unwanted effects may occur because levels in the body become too high.

	Growth Problems
		People who have constitutional growth delay are often referred to as "late bloomers." If a doctor suspects constitutional growth delay in a kid or teen, he or she might take X-rays of bones and compare them with X-rays of what's considered average for their age.
		The cause of growth hormone deficiency can be an underdeveloped, damaged, or malfunctioning pituitary gland or hypothalamus, which can happen before or during birth or can be caused later by an accident or trauma or certain diseases.
		Recently, growth hormone treatment has been approved for some kids and teens who are not growth hormone deficient but who appear to be headed for a very short adult height (under 5 feet, 4 inches [1.6 meters] for boys and under 4 feet, 11 inches [1.5 meters] for girls).

	Questions and Answers About Growth Plate Injuries (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		While growth plate injuries are caused by an acute event, such as a fall or a blow to a limb, chronic injuries can also result from overuse.
		Because injuries to the growth plate may be hard to see on x ray, an x ray of the noninjured side of the body may be taken so the two sides can be compared.
		To improve the early diagnosis of growth plate injuries, the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculosketetal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) is supporting a study to evaluate the use of MRI to visualize young bones and enable prompt, appropriate treatment.

		Even with the highest growth rate since the mid-1980s, the economy shed another 41,000 jobs in the third quarter and has lost 2.7 million jobs since Bush took office.
		The higher growth rates will increase government revenues, but not nearly enough to compensate for the losses created by the immense tax cuts on the wealthy that take effect in 2004 and 2005.
		More normal growth rates of 3 to 4 percent will keep interest rates low but are not sufficient to produce plenty of good jobs.

		Smart growth is development that serves the economy, the community, and the environment.

	Microbial Growth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		When a microbiologist speaks of microbial growth it is usually increase in cell number that she is after.
		Exponential growth is a physiological state marked by back-to-back division cycles such that the population doubles in number every generation time.
		Note that during exponential growth there is no change in average cell mass, though individuals cells are constantly changing in mass as they increase in mass, then divide thus rapidly decreasing in mass (while increasing in number).

	Your Child's Growth
		Given all the growth that occurs in the first year of life, new parents may be surprised when their child doesn't continue to grow through the roof.
		This growth spurt is associated with sexual development, which includes the appearance of pubic and underarm hair, the growth and development of sex organs, and in girls, the onset of menstruation.
		The doctor may choose to monitor your child's growth more frequently on a growth chart or refer your child to a pediatric endocrinologist (a doctor specializing in growth disorders) for further evaluation.

	Growth Without Growth: An Alternative Economic Development Goal For Metropolitan Areas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)

	The Washington Monthly
		It's quite possible to have strong GDP growth that still leaves two-thirds of the country stagnant — which is roughly what's happened for the past 30 years — but it's almost impossible to have strong median wage growth and not also have a booming economy.
		Growth is not just about GDP growth, it is also about the direction in which the ENTIRE country is moving...
		Growth, weather measured in GDP or median wage, is essentially meaningless in the long run if the depletion of our resources are not accounted for.
