Pertrochanteric hip fracture is associated with mobility decline and poorer physical performance 4 to 6 months post-hip fracture
BMC Geriatr. 2023 Nov 8;23(1):722. doi: 10.1186/s12877-023-04415-x. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: To study the effect of hip fracture type on physical performance, functional ability and change in mobility four to six months after the injury. METHODS: A total of 1331 patients out of consecutive 2052 patients aged ≥ 65 years who underwent…
Male fertility and semen quality are decreasing – Do we have the expertise to deal with this challenge?
Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand. 2023 Dec;102(12):1606-1607. doi: 10.1111/aogs.14693. NO ABSTRACT PMID:37910175 | DOI:10.1111/aogs.14693…
Concurrent changes in physical activity and physical functioning during retirement transition-a multi-trajectory analysis
PLoS One. 2023 Oct 26;18(10):e0293506. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0293506. eCollection 2023. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Physical activity and physical functioning have been reported to change over retirement transition, but the results have been inconsistent, and the two constructs have not been studied concurrently. The objective of this study was to examine concurrent changes in…
Maternal prenatal distress exposure negatively associates with the stability of neonatal frontoparietal network
Stress. 2023 Oct 25:1-12. doi: 10.1080/10253890.2023.2275207. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Maternal prenatal distress (PD), frequently defined as in utero prenatal stress exposure (PSE) to the developing fetus, influences the developing brain and numerous associations between PSE and brain structure have been described both in neonates and in older children.
Infants’ sex affects neural responses to affective touch in early infancy
Dev Psychobiol. 2023 Nov;65(7):e22419. doi: 10.1002/dev.22419. ABSTRACT Social touch is closely related to the establishment and maintenance of social bonds in humans, and the sensory brain circuit for gentle brushing is already active soon after birth. Brain development is known to be sexually dimorphic, but the potential effect of sex…
The Influence of Dietary Counseling over 20 Years on Tracking of Non-HDL Cholesterol from Infancy to Young Adulthood
J Pediatr. 2023 Oct 13:113776. doi: 10.1016/j.jpeds.2023.113776. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT This 26-year study found that non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) levels tracked from infancy to young adulthood, suggesting early-life non-HDL-C could predict future levels. However, infancy-onset dietary counseling reduced the odds of maintaining at-risk non-HDL-C, highlighting the potential importance…
Childhood maltreatment, trait resilience and prenatal distress among expecting mothers and fathers in the FinnBrain Birth Cohort Study
J Affect Disord. 2023 Oct 9:S0165-0327(23)01223-5. doi: 10.1016/j.jad.2023.10.026. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: In this study we examined the association between childhood maltreatment exposure (CME) and psychological distress, including symptoms of depression and anxiety, during pregnancy. Additionally, we explored the potential moderating effect of trait resilience on these associations.
Physical activity and self-rated health during retirement transition: a multitrajectory analysis of concurrent changes among public sector employees
BMJ Open. 2023 Sep 29;13(9):e073876. doi: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-073876. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to evaluate concurrent changes in physical activity and self-rated health during retirement transition over 4 years by multivariate trajectory analysis and to examine whether sociodemographic and lifestyle factors predict the probability of being classified to…
Multi-ancestry genome-wide study identifies effector genes and druggable pathways for coronary artery calcification
Nat Genet. 2023 Sep 28. doi: 10.1038/s41588-023-01518-4. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Coronary artery calcification (CAC), a measure of subclinical atherosclerosis, predicts future symptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD). Identifying genetic risk factors for CAC may point to new therapeutic avenues for prevention. Currently, there are only four known risk loci…
