I summarize the theory of acceleration of non-neutral particle beams by starvation electric fields along the polar magnetic field lines of rotation powered pulsars, including the effect of dragging of inertial frames which dominates the acceleration of a space charge limited beam. I apply these results to a new calculation of the radio pulsar death line, under the hypotheses that pulsar “death”...

Women have been increasingly delaying the start of motherhood in recent decades. The same trend is seen also for men. The influence of maternal age on fertility, chromosomal anomalies, pregnancy complications, and impaired perinatal and post-natal outcome of offspring, has been thoroughly investigated, and these aspects are clinically applied during fertility and pregestational counseling. Male...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of advanced maternal age on the rate of perinatal mortality. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study including all 56,517 singleton hospital deliveries between 1999 and 2008. METHODS Data were analyzed according to maternal age at delivery in 3 groups of women, 25-34 years, 35-39 years and ≥ 40 years, using the youngest as the reference group. RESULTS Odds ra...

The age at which women experience their first pregnancy has increased throughout the decades. Pregnancy has an important influence on maternal short- and long-term cardiovascular outcomes. Pregnancy at an advanced maternal age increases maternal risk of gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, placenta previa and caesarian delivery; complications which predict worsened cardiovascular health in later...

Maternal age of 35 years and over has increased in Western countries as well as in Finland during the last decades. The purpose of this retrospective register-based study was to explore the risks and complications related to pregnancy and birth of women aged 35 years or older, when comparing them to younger women aged less than 35 years old. Pregnancy outcomes and complications were observed in...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of maternal age on perinatal and obstetric outcome in women aged 40-44 years and those 45 years or older and to estimate whether adverse outcome was related to intercurrent illness and pregnancy complications. METHODS National prospective, population-based, cohort study in women aged 40-44 years and those 45 years or older and i...
