Perspectives from Patients and Healthcare Providers on the Practice of Maternal Placentophagy.
(Journal of alternative and complementary medicine (New York, N.Y.), 2017-01)
Placentophagy (maternal consumption of the placenta) has become increasingly prevalent
in the past decade among women seeking to promote health and healing during the postpartum
period. The purpose of this study was to assess ...
A putatively functional polymorphism in the HTR2C gene is associated with depressive symptoms in white females reporting significant life stress.
(PloS one, 2014-01)
Psychosocial stress is well known to be positively associated with subsequent depressive
symptoms. Cortisol response to stress may be one of a number of biological mechanisms
that links psychological stress to depressive ...
Personal DNA testing in college classrooms: perspectives of students and professors.
(Genetic testing and molecular biomarkers, 2013-06)
Discourse on the integration of personal genetics and genomics into classrooms is
increasing; however, limited data have been collected on the perspectives of students
and professors. We conducted a cross-sectional survey ...
A craniofacial-specific monosynaptic circuit enables heightened affective pain.
(Nature neuroscience, 2017-12)
Humans often rank craniofacial pain as more severe than body pain. Evidence suggests
that a stimulus of the same intensity induces stronger pain in the face than in the
body. However, the underlying neural circuitry for ...
Psychometric properties of the osteoporosis assessment questionnaire (OPAQ) 2.0: results from the multiple outcomes of raloxifene evaluation (MORE) study.
(BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2014-01)
BACKGROUND: We explored psychometric properties of the Osteoporosis Assessment Questionnaire
2.0 in terms of reliability, validity, and responsiveness with generic, clinical,
demographic, and preference-based data collected ...
Learning from 2523 trauma deaths in India- opportunities to prevent in-hospital deaths.
(BMC health services research, 2017-02-16)
A systematic analysis of trauma deaths is a step towards trauma quality improvement
in Indian hospitals. This study estimates the magnitude of preventable trauma deaths
in five Indian hospitals, and uses a peer-review process ...
Exposure to opposing views on social media can increase political polarization.
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018-09)
There is mounting concern that social media sites contribute to political polarization
by creating "echo chambers" that insulate people from opposing views about current
events. We surveyed a large sample of Democrats and ...
First virtual endocasts of adapiform primates.
(Journal of human evolution, 2016-10)
Well-preserved crania of notharctine adapiforms from the Eocene of North America provide
the best direct evidence available for inferring neuroanatomy and encephalization
in early euprimates (crown primates). Virtual endocasts ...
Predicting euarchontan body mass: A comparison of tarsal and dental variables.
(American journal of physical anthropology, 2015-07)
Multiple meaningful ecological characterizations of a species revolve around body
mass. Because body mass cannot be directly measured in extinct taxa, reliable body
mass predictors are needed. Many published body mass prediction ...
Quantification of the position and depth of the flexor hallucis longus groove in euarchontans, with implications for the evolution of primate positional behavior.
(American journal of physical anthropology, 2017-06)
On the talus, the position and depth of the groove for the flexor hallucis longus
tendon have been used to infer phylogenetic affinities and positional behaviors of
fossil primates. This study quantifies aspects of the flexor ...
