Measuring Child Disadvantage: Comparing Multidimensional and Socioeconomic Approaches for Predicting Developmental Outcomes

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Robust measurement of disadvantage is essential to identifying and addressing inequities in children's development. We tested how a multidimensional framework of child disadvantage performed relative to a traditional socioeconomic position (SEP) approach to predict developmental outcomes.

Genetic polymorphisms and phylogenetic characteristics of Tibeto-Burman-speaking Lahu population from southwest China based on 41 Y-STR loci

Annals of Human Biology, 2023
Background Male sex-linked Y-chromosome short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) have been widely used in forensic cases and population genetics research. At present, the forensic-related Y-STR data in the Chinese Lahu population are still poorly understood. Aim To

Integrating whole‐bone and regional analyses to understand human scapular growth

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates ontogenetic changes in human scapular morphology using three‐dimensional geometric morphometrics with whole‐bone and region‐specific analyses. The aim is to evaluate whether the scapula follows a regular developmental pattern and whether its functionally distinct components, the scapular spine (SS) and glenoid fossa ...

Dinucleotide (CA)n tandem repeats on the human X-chromosome and the history of the Mediterranean populations

Annals of Human Biology, 2018
Background: Tandem repeats (STRs) are genomic markers of particular interest in forensic and population genetics. Most of the population data currently available correspond to the variation of STRs of forensic panels, which barely include dinucleotide ...

Forensic science & human migration: The role of forensic genetics [PDF]

Forensic Science International: Genetics Supplement Series, 2019
Abstract Many migrants perish on dangerous journeys in search of a better life around the world. However, little is being done to identify these individuals. Forensic science has successfully been used to identify individuals following mass-casualty incidents such as 9/11, the Boxing Day tsunami and the Balkans war.

Previously undocumented regional variability in crab‐eating macaque skull sexual dimorphism and its implications for biological and morphometric studies

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract In a large sample of adult crab‐eating macaques, we quantified sexual dimorphism in size, shape, and covariance across the whole skull and among anatomical regions of the cranium and mandible. All regions showed significant mean sex differences, but the magnitude of size and shape dimorphism varied substantially.

Body donor programs in Australia and New Zealand: Current status and future opportunities

Anatomical Sciences Education, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 301-328, March 2025.
Abstract Body donation is critical to anatomy study in Australia and New Zealand. Annually, more than 10,000 students, anatomists, researchers, and clinicians access tissue donated by local consented donors through university‐based body donation programs. However, little research has been published about their operations.

Essential embryology for the Canadian pathologists’ assistant

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Pathologists' assistants (PAs) are pivotal in healthcare, conducting autopsies and examining tissues under a pathologist's guidance. Embryology knowledge is crucial for PAs to accurately assess anomalies and identify pathologies. Yet, it is often overlooked in academic PA training programs.

ACKR1/Duffy‐null genotype testing for clozapine: A guideline developed by the UK Centre of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation in Pharmacogenomics (CERSI‐PGx)

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Clozapine is licenced for treatment‐resistant schizophrenia and psychosis in Parkinson's disease. In the United Kingdom, there is a mandatory requirement for absolute neutrophil count (ANC) and white blood cell count (WBC) monitoring to safeguard against agranulocytosis.

Population Genetic Diversity and Phylogenetic Characteristics for High-Altitude Adaptive Kham Tibetan Revealed by DNATyperTM 19 Amplification System

Frontiers in Genetics, 2018
Tibetans residing in the high-altitude inhospitable environment have undergone significant natural selection of their genetic architecture. Recently, highly mutational autosomal short tandem repeats were widely used not only in the anthropology and ...
