American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Trisomy 13 (T13) and trisomy 18 (T18) have historically been described as “lethal” or “incompatible with life,” contributing to diagnosis‐based limitations of care. Contemporary evidence demonstrates greater heterogeneity in survival and outcomes than previously recognized, including among selected children receiving intensive care or cardiac ...

Does Family Planning Reduce Infant Mortality? Evidence from Surveillance Data in Matlab, Bangladesh [PDF]
: Analyzing the effect of family planning on child survival remains an important issue but is not straightforward because of several mechanisms linking family planning, birth intervals, total fertility, and child survival. This study uses a dynamic model

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The human mandibular symphysis concentrates multiaxial loads during function and remodels throughout growth, but the precise mechanisms underlying cortical bone shape during growth remain relatively unexplored. Approaches based solely on thickness or external cortical contours provide only partial insights and do not capture the functional ...

Over the edge: Empirical evidence for the cliff‐edge model of obstetric selection
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The cliff‐edge model of obstetric selection maintains that larger neonates and smaller birth canals confer a positive selective advantage until labor becomes obstructed and vaginal delivery is no longer possible, eliciting an abrupt reduction in fitness.
