Benefits to Down's syndrome children through training their mothers.
Bidder, R T, Bryant, G, Gray, O P

Simple and versatile method for measuring oxygen consumption in infants.
Evans, J M, Gray, O P, Holland, B M, Wardrop, C A
A simple, rapid, and accurate method for measuring oxygen consumption in infants is described. Expired gas is entrained in a stream of air drawn through a gently applied face mask. Oxygen consumption...
Behavioural treatment of hyperactive children.
