Does early life health predict schooling within twin pairs? [PDF]
, 2011 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,

The relationship between Hippocampal asymmetry and working memory processing in combat-related PTSD: a monozygotic twin study [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: PTSD is associated with reduction in hippocampal volume and abnormalities in hippocampal function. Hippocampal asymmetry has received less attention, but potentially could indicate lateralised differences in vulnerability to trauma.

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 ...

Chromosome 22q11.2 microdeletion in monozygotic twins with discordant phenotype and deletion size
Molecular Cytogenetics, 2012 We report on a pair of male monozygotic twins with 22q11.2 microdeletion, discordant phenotype and discordant deletion size. The second twin had findings suggestive of DiGeorge syndrome, while the first twin had milder anomalies without any cardiac ...

Earnings Mobility and Origin Dependence: What can twins say together with nonparametric econometrics? [PDF]
This study focuses on earnings immobility and its relation to the originin terms of both the social background and the initial position in the earnings distribution. Twin data is used to reveal the importance for the common background for immobility.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Exercise maintains brain health and reduces the risk of cerebrovascular diseases, such as stroke and dementia. The benefits of different ‘modalities’ of exercise on male and female cerebral autoregulation are unclear. In this study, we compared adaptations in dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) during spontaneous and forced oscillations in ...

Beyond DNA: Epigenetics and Proteomics in Forensic Science [PDF]
, 2016 The use of genetic evidence in criminal cases is well established and has improved the public opinion and credibility of forensic science. However, several shortcomings associated with current genetic profiling techniques exist. Scientific research aimed

Neuropsychopharmacology Reports, Volume 46, Issue 2, June 2026.We investigated early neuronal development using iPSCs from twins with treatment‐resistant schizophrenia discordant for clozapine response. The non‐responder exhibited more pronounced impairment in differentiation than the responder. Transcriptomic analysis revealed distinct developmental gene expression profiles, suggesting that early ...

Impact of Positive Lifestyle Behaviors on Direct Health Care Cost Savings for Low Back Pain
Arthritis Care &Research, Volume 78, Issue 4, Page 537-546, April 2026.Objective This study aimed to investigate the relationship between a previously purpose‐developed lifestyle behavior scale and health care cost savings related to low back pain (LBP). Methods This longitudinal study used data from the Australian Twin Back (AUTBACK) study. LBP and lifestyle behavior measures were collected at baseline. Physical activity

Socioeconomic Status and Sickness Absence - What do twins tell us about causality? [PDF]
The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate causal effects between socioeconomic status and absence from the workplace due to sickness. To be able to conclude that income causally affects health it is important to control for both reverse ...
