Sleep and Maladaptive Personality Traits: A Twin Study

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep is essential for human functioning, but little attention has been paid to the interplay between sleep and maladaptive personality traits. We examined genetic and environmental associations between sleep and four maladaptive domains (MDs)—Negative Affectivity, Detachment, Disinhibition, and Psychoticism—within the framework of the DSM‐5 ...

Public Health Professionals’ Perceptions on Intertwin Relationship in Multiple‐Birth Family Nursing

Public Health Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To describe how dominance, submissiveness, and speaking role appear in the intertwin relationship between twins under 7 years old. Design and Sample A cross‐sectional study design was used. The respondents (n = 72) were nurses. Information about the intertwin relationship was explored through Likert‐scale statements and open‐ended ...

Twin Acardiac: Case Reported From Ethiopia

Clinical Case Reports
Acardiac twinning is a rare congenital anomaly in monozygotic twin pregnancies, caused by abnormal placental vascular anastomosis. We present a case of monochorionic twinning: Twin A was a heterogeneous mass with no head or cardiac activity, while Twin B

Does Early Life Health Predict Schooling Within Twin Pairs? [PDF]

A large number of studies in labor economics estimate the returns to schooling using data on monozygotic twins, under the assumption that educational attainment is random within twin pairs. This exogeneity assumption has been commonly questioned, however,

Research with twins: The concept of emergenesis. [PDF]

, 1982
Preliminaty findings from an on-going study of monozygotic twins reared apart (MZA) and data from a larger sample of twins reared together (MZT and DZT), indicate a surprisingly strong influence of genetic variation on aptitudes, psychophysiological ...

Twin study method: Unlocking genetic and environmental interactions

Endocrine Journal
Twin studies offer a powerful approach for disentangling genetic and environmental influences on human traits. By comparing monozygotic twins with identical genetic makeup, researchers can more accurately identify the environmental contributions to ...

Heritability of pain catastrophizing and associations with experimental pain outcomes: a twin study [PDF]

, 2015
This study used a twin paradigm to examine genetic and environmental contributions to pain catastrophizing and the observed association between pain Catastrophizing and cold-pressor task (CPT) outcomes. Male and female monozygotic (n = 206) and dizygotic

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...
