Mother's occupation and sex ratio at birth
BMC Public Health, 2010 Background Many women are working outside of the home, occupying a multitude of jobs with varying degrees of responsibilities and levels of psychological stress. We investigated whether different job types in women are associated with child sex at birth,

A CRISPR-Cas9 sex-ratio distortion system for genetic control. [PDF]
, 2016 Genetic control aims to reduce the ability of insect pest populations to cause harm via the release of modified insects. One strategy is to bias the reproductive sex ratio towards males so that a population decreases in size or is eliminated altogether ...

Sex ratio influences the motivational salience of facial attractiveness [PDF]
, 2014 The sex ratio of the local population influences mating-related behaviours in many species. Recent experiments show that male-biased sex ratios increase the amount of financial resources men will invest in potential mates, suggesting that sex ratios ...

Sex ratio effects on reproductive strategies in humans [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Characterizations of coy females and ardent males are rooted in models of sexual selection that are increasingly outdated. Evolutionary feedbacks can strongly influence the sex roles and subsequent patterns of sex differentiated investment in mating ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Purpose Chemoimmunotherapy with irinotecan, temozolomide, and dinutuximab (I/T/DIN) has emerged as first‐line therapy for relapsed/refractory (r/r) high‐risk neuroblastoma (HRNB) in North America. Topotecan and cyclophosphamide (T/C) are often used in combination with dinutuximab in the setting of lack of response, progression, or incomplete ...

European Journal of Human Genetics, 2004 Two recent papers suggest distorted sex and transmission ratios associated with BRCA1 mutations. If real, these would provide novel insights into the normal biological function of this gene and have implications for genetic epidemiologic methods used to estimate penetrance.

Clinical Course and Impact of Breaks in Therapy for Children With Relapsed/Refractory Solid Tumors
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Pediatric relapsed or refractory (R/R) solid tumors carry a dismal prognosis, and postrelapse patient experiences are not well described. We present postrelapse outcomes, including number of R/R events and subsequent therapy regimens.

Traditional agricultural practices and the sex ratio today. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 We study the historical origins of cross-country differences in the male-to-female sex ratio. Our analysis focuses on the use of the plough in traditional agriculture.
