Comparative genomics reveals insights into avian genome evolution and adaptation.
(Science, 2014-12-12)
Birds are the most species-rich class of tetrapod vertebrates and have wide relevance
across many research fields. We explored bird macroevolution using full genomes from
48 avian species representing all major extant clades. ...
Age, gender, and cancer but not neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases strongly modulate systemic effect of the Apolipoprotein E4 allele on lifespan.
(PLoS Genet, 2014-01)
Enduring interest in the Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) polymorphism is ensured by its evolutionary-driven
uniqueness in humans and its prominent role in geriatrics and gerontology. We use
large samples of longitudinally followed ...
What Do North American Babies Hear? A large-scale cross-corpus analysis.
(Developmental science, 2019-01)
A range of demographic variables influences how much speech young children hear. However,
because studies have used vastly different sampling methods, quantitative comparison
of interlocking demographic effects has been ...
Institutional review boards' use and understanding of certificates of confidentiality.

Certificates of Confidentiality, issued by agencies of the U.S. government, are regarded
as an important tool for meeting ethical and legal obligations to safeguard research
participants' privacy and confidentiality. By ...
Too much time? Time use and fertility-specific quality of life among men and women seeking specialty care for infertility.
(BMC psychology, 2019-07-09)
BACKGROUND:There are known gender differences in the impacts infertility has on quality
of life and well-being. Less is known about how infertile couples spend time on fertility-related
tasks and associations with quality ...
A conceptual framework for patient-centered fertility treatment.
(Reproductive health, 2017-09-07)
BACKGROUND:Patient-centered care is a pillar of quality health care and is important
to patients experiencing infertility. In this study we used empirical, in-depth data
on couples' experiences of infertility treatment decision ...
Constraint and trade-offs regulate energy expenditure during childhood.
(Science advances, 2019-12-18)
Children's metabolic energy expenditure is central to evolutionary and epidemiological
frameworks for understanding variation in human phenotype and health. Nonetheless,
the impact of a physically active lifestyle and heavy ...
Lifetime prevalence of intimate partner violence against women in an urban Brazilian city: A cross-sectional survey.
(PloS one, 2019-01)
BACKGROUND:Intimate partner violence is a global health burden that disproportionately
affects women and their health outcomes. Women in Brazil are also affected by interpersonal
violence. We aimed to estimate the lifetime ...
Differential prevalence and geographic distribution of hepatitis C virus genotypes in acute and chronic hepatitis C patients in Vietnam.
(PloS one, 2019-01)
BACKGROUND:The highest burden of disease from hepatitis C virus (HCV) is found in
Southeast Asia, but our understanding of the epidemiology of infection in many heavily
burdened countries is still limited. In particular, ...
Differences in the cognitive skills of bonobos and chimpanzees.
(PLoS One, 2010-08-27)
While bonobos and chimpanzees are both genetically and behaviorally very similar,
they also differ in significant ways. Bonobos are more cautious and socially tolerant
while chimpanzees are more dependent on extractive foraging, ...
