In most societies, women at age 39 with higher levels of education have fewer children. To understand this association, we investigated the effects of childbearing on educational attainment and the effects of education on fertility in the 1964 birth cohort of Norwegian women. Using detailed annual data from ages 17 to 39, we estimated the probabilities of an additional birth, a change in educat...

BACKGROUND Thymoma is the most common tumor of the anterior mediastinum. Surgery is mainstay of treatment, with adjuvant radiation recommended for invasive thymoma. Because of rarity, prospective randomized trials may not be feasible even in multicentric settings hence the best possible evidence can be large series. Till date Thymoma has not been studied in Indian settings. MATERIALS AND METH...

This paper is the latest in a series initiated in 1999 which investigates childbearing in low fertility countries from a cohort perspective. Principal conclusions: Major changes in childbearing patterns are continuously taking place in almost all countries. Large families with four and more children have all but disappeared. Almost everywhere the two-child family became dominant. Proportions of...

HERA is a new collider, delivering luminosity to the users since June ’92 at DESY in Hamburg. 26.7 GeV electrons collide with 820 GeV protons in two experimental areas, the south hall (experiment Zeus) and the north hall (experiment H1), thereby interacting at a center-of-mass energy of ~ —300 GeV. A complex layout of various accelerators including the old PETRA ring is used to feed electrons a...

The relationship between levels of social and economic inequality demographic changes remains poorly documented, particularly for fertility. Covering a period from 1986 to 2018, this paper documents positive country-level association income the dispersion first birth schedules among women 88 countries Global South. This is driven by dual dynamic decreasing mean age at shrinking group who transi...

Many women have been diagnosed with hypertension (blood pressure 140/ 90 mm Hg) when they were in their childbearing years. Because the hypertension predates the pregnancy, it is called chronic hypertension. This type of hypertension complicates at least 5% of all pregnancies. When managed appropriately, most women with chronic hypertension can experience healthy pregnancies and give birth to h...

Female patients with systemic lupus erythematosus are often of childbearing age at diagnosis, and though fertility in these patients is similar to the general population, successful pregnancy remains a rare occurrence. This incidence is, however, increasing and the management of these high risk pregnancies is often further complicated by the patient's need for dialysis as a result of lupus neph...
