In Due Time: Why Maternal Age Matters
Mothers and newborns in Canada are supported by programs that address their needs from pre-conception to the perinatal period and beyond. Often, these programs target one or more at-risk groups of mothers: those with pre-existing health conditions such as diabetes, hypertension or mental health concerns; women with unhealthy pre-pregnancy weights; Aboriginal women; or women of an age outside th...
متن کاملNovel Dual-Pulse Actuation Voltage for Longer MEMS Switch Lifetime
Abstract—A novel dual-pulse actuation voltage has been proposed to reduce dielectric charging in micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) switch, leading to a longer switch lifetime. Mathematical and transient circuit models have been utilized to simulate dielectric charging in the RF MEMS switch, enabling the analysis of charge built-up at the switch dielectric and substrate brought about by the ...
متن کاملAdult maternal body size matters.
Horta et al. elegantly demonstrated that maternal, but not paternal, birthweight and weight gain in early childhood may be directly associated with next-generation birthweight. However, the relative contributions of early and adult body weight (i.e. at the time of conception or during pregnancy) may have been overlooked. It is not clear whether the associations were still observed once adult ma...
متن کاملWhat Really Matters: Living Longer or Living Healthier; Comment on “Shanghai Rising: Health Improvements as Measured by Avoidable Mortality Since 2000”
The decline in Avoidable Mortality (AM) and increase in life expectancy in Shanghai is impressive. Gusmano and colleagues suggested that Shanghai’s improved health system has contributed significantly to this decline in AM. However, when compared to other global cities, Shanghai’s life expectancy at birth is improving as London and New York City, but has yet to surpass that of Hong Kong, Tokyo,...
متن کاملAge or age at onset? Which of them really matters for neuro and social cognition in schizophrenia?
In schizophrenia patients, both an older age and earlier age at onset of the disease are related to worse cognitive functioning. As patients with later schizophrenia onset are also older, analysing the two effects separately can be misleading, as they can either be spurious or cancel one another out. The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the effects of age and onset-age on cognition...
