Joint Effects of Prenatal Antibiotics, Mode of Birth and Breastfeeding Duration on Childhood Infections: The Norwegian MoBa Cohort Study

Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Prenatal antibiotic exposure and caesarean births are associated with an increased risk of hospitalised infection in children, but few studies have evaluated their impact on less severe infections and possible joint effects. Conversely, longer breastfeeding duration is protective against infections, but whether this effect varies ...

Neighbourhood Social Vulnerability and Preterm Birth Risk Among Infants With Trisomy 21: A Statewide Analysis

Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Residing in socioeconomically vulnerable areas is known to be associated with increased preterm birth (PTB) risk in the general population. However, the relationship between social vulnerability and PTB remains unexplored among infants with trisomy 21, who experience more than twice the PTB rate of the general population ...

Maternal Haemoglobin and Haematocrit During Pregnancy and Stillbirth Risk: A Prospective, Population‐Based Birth Cohort Study

Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maternal anaemia is a public health issue globally, associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. However, less is known about the effects of high haemoglobin (Hb) and haematocrit (Hct) on the risk of stillbirth. Objectives We assessed the dose–response effects of dynamic changes in maternal Hb and Hct across all ...

Sex‐specific metabolic responses to glucagon receptor agonism and modulation of the FGF21‐glucagon axis in female mice

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Therapies targeting the glucagon receptor are being explored for obesity treatment, yet most preclinical studies remain male biased. In this study, Merrild and Johansen et al. show that in diet‐induced obese wild‐type mice a long‐acting glucagon analogue (LA‐Gcg) elicits sexually dimorphic effects on weight loss, food intake ...

Spatial analysis of cell patterning to aid genetic and phenotypic understanding of grass stomatal density: A case study in maize

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Biological processes involve complex hierarchies where composite traits result from multiple component traits. However, holistically understanding of how sets of component traits interact to underpin genotype‐to‐phenotype relationships is generally lacking.

Computational Modeling of Sequential Dependencies in Mother–Child Social Interaction and Associations to Empathic Responses

Developmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding how early mother–child interactions are linked to children's social‐cognitive processes requires methods capable of capturing the temporal structure of naturalistic behavior. This study introduces a computational framework based on Bayesian Network modeling to identify sequential dependencies among nonverbal behaviors (smiles ...

Causal Effect Estimation With TMLE: Handling Missing Data and Near Violations of Positivity

Biometrical Journal, Volume 68, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT We evaluate the performance of targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE) for estimating the average treatment effect in missing data scenarios under varying levels of positivity violations. We employ model‐ and design‐based simulations, with the latter using undersmoothed highly adaptive lasso on the “WASH Benefits Bangladesh” data set to ...
