We first aimed to establish the incidence of offspring sex bias in Australian E. hecabe, as expressed among broods of two tropical populations obtained over successive years. We next sought to test whether sex biases exhibit the maternal inheritance and antibiotic sensitivity characteristic of ...
We estimated the risk of psychiatric and academic morbidity associated with advancing paternal age using several quasi-experimental designs, including the comparison of differentially exposed siblings, cousins, and first-born cousins. Exposure Paternal age at childbearing. Main Outcomes and Measures ...
First, we test for fertility effects of (grand)mother/(grand)mother-in-law presence on i) the probability and timing of first birth and ii) probabilities of subsequent births of grandoffspring and birth spacing. We used time-event models, as these analyses take into account age-specific ...
Compared with their cousins and with published figures for the general population, the study progeny had no excess of congenital anomalies or other diseases. Chromosome and immunoglobulin studies of a few offspring did not reveal damage from preconception exposure to cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy....
Both F and I are halogens, and it has been suggested that F may interfere with the role of I in thyroid function. We provide a scoping review of the literature on I and F exposure during pregnancy and their individual effects on thyroid function and offspring neurodevelopment. We first ...
At the group level, treated dams overproduced sons to a degree equivalent to the overproduction of daughters by untreated cousins. This implicates a causal role for intracellular bacteria, as opposed to protozoans, viruses or fungi (Kageyama et al., 2012). It also discounts causality based ...
However, an 11-fold higher risk of first relative marriages among parents once the paternal and maternal grandparents were first-cousins and the father was illiterate (aOR=11.01). Moreover, the authors reported a diabetes risk of more than 14 times when the effects of...
We estimated the risk of psychiatric and academic morbidity associated with advancing paternal age using several quasi-experimental designs, including the comparison of differentially exposed siblings, cousins, and first-born cousins. EXP...
In a sample of over one million Swedish first-born offspring, we examined associations between early maternal age at first childbirth (MAFC; i.e.,<20 and 20-24 vs 25-29years) and offspring non-accidental deaths, accidental deaths, deaths by suicide, non-fatal accidents, and suicide attempts...
