Twin pregnancies and the limits of the energetics of gestation and growth hypothesis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The “Energetics of Gestation and Growth” (EGG) hypothesis proposes that human birth timing and the associated secondary altriciality of human newborns is determined by limits in maternal metabolic capacity. According to this model, labor is triggered when the increasing fetal energy requirements exceed the expectant mother's maximum sustained ...

Beyond Gut Modulation: A Critical Review of the Therapeutic Potential, Safety, and Clinical Prospects of Natural Polysaccharides for IBD

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
In this review, we critically summarized the application of natural polysaccharides (NPs) for the treatment of IBD. This approach combines, in a unique way (right), the basic structure–activity relationships of NPs from different origins (left) with their multipronged mode of action, which involves modulation of the gut microbiota and other ...

Association of cumulative early medical events and neurodevelopmental conditions through a common latent factor—A population‐based twin study

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The cumulative effect of early medical events has been shown to be associated with autism. It is unclear whether this effect is specific to autism or if it is associated to other neurodevelopmental conditions (NDCs) as well. Methods We established a registry‐linked population‐based twin cohort of 10,254 pairs within the child and ...

Reduced occurrence of alpha waves during resting state predicts high attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder traits in young adults

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition with significant cognitive and social impacts. Identifying reliable biomarkers for ADHD is crucial for developing personalised therapies. Electroencephalography (EEG) alpha oscillations (8–12 Hz) have been suggested as a potential biomarker, but ...
