There are some cases of severe mental retardation and some of small head size without apparent mental retardation.

Neurological impairment or delay, growth retardation, and delayed sexual maturation as a result of lead exposure may even affect children as they mature to adulthood.

In a sample of 1,458 students aged 10 13 from rural boarding schools in Ningxia, Guangxi and Yunnan, 12 have growth retardation and 9 are underweight.

Mental retardation developed from this disease usually leads to coma.

Iodine deficiency disorders are the most widespread cause of preventable mental retardation among children.

However, the decision did not lay down how mental retardation should be defined (although the majority quoted the definition used by the American Association of Mental Retardation and the American Psychiatric Association, both of which stressed significant sub average mental functioning ).

All these children came to our clinic with a diagnosis of autism, attention deficit disorder, mental retardation, language problems.

(d) Eliminating the death penalty for persons suffering from mental retardation or extremely limited mental competence, whether at the stage of sentence or execution.

One important effect of exposure to radiation in utero is a dose related increase in mental impairment, up to and including severe mental retardation.

Over the last 15 years, UNICEF has led a global effort to eliminate iodine deficiency disorders, the most widespread cause of preventable mental retardation among children.

The region to the left of two standard deviations from the average, that is, values less than 70 IQ points, corresponds to the clinical designation of severe mental retardation.

Slow growth is manageable. Negative growth is not.

In other words, economic growth should be viewed as growth in wealth, not growth in GNP.

Rapid output growth without equally rapid capital stock or employment growth must have reflected rapid productivity growth.

And it became ever clearer that economic growth doesn't automatically translate into social growth or human growth.

Manufacturing value added (MVA) growth significantly surpassed overall economic growth.

This transformation has become a virtuous circle where initial growth has spiraled into greater growth, leading to more growth.

As discussed in chapter I, section A.2 (a), the mechanism of mental retardation induction is thought to be the production of a dose dependent lack of functional connections of neurons in the brain cortex.

Wage growth, rather than borrowing and financial booms, fuelled demand growth.

The informal economy tends to favour employment growth over productivity growth.

In Africa, overall economic growth continues to lag behind population growth.

Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) is one of the numerous growth factors, or proteins that regulate cell growth and division.

There is evidence that countries with high growth in services also tend to have high overall economic growth conversely, countries with high overall economic growth have high services growth.
