This topic defines short stature (height 2 standard deviations below the mean) and outlines the diagnostic evaluation for children and adolescents. The primary goal is to distinguish normal variants of growth (familial or constitutional short stature) from pathologic causes (e.g., Turner syndrome, systemic disease, or hormonal abnormality). The text details steps in evaluation, including calculating height velocity and determining bone age, and notes substantial sex differences in referral patterns.

A thorough review examining pulmonary surfactant's critical role in lung function. It challenges the conventional model (compression-driven squeeze-out) for maintaining low surface tension and proposes an alternative model: the formation of a saturated-lipid-enriched film shortly after birth via an adsorption-driven sorting process. The review examines biophysical evidence and tests the new model against physiological evidence related to neonatal and adult lung pathology, including Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
