[citation needed] True IUGR occurs due to pathological conditions which may be either fetal or maternal in origin. In addition to low body weight they have abnormal ponderal ...
This definition intentionally excludes fetuses that are small for gestational age (SGA) but are not pathologically small. [3] Infants born SGA with severe short stature (or severe SGA) are defined as having a length less than 2.5 standard deviation scores below the mean. [6]

In mathematics, a pseudogroup is a set of homeomorphisms between open sets of a space, satisfying group-like and sheaf-like properties. It is a generalisation [dubious – discuss] of the concept of a group, originating however from the geometric approach of Sophus Lie [1] to investigate symmetries of differential equations, rather than out of abstract algebra (such as quasigroup, for example).
