Objectives: Previous studies have documented a decline in fertility desires and intentions following the COVID-19 outbreak, but the reasons for this decline are not well understood. This study examined whether childcare burden on mothers during the lockdown and quarantines, COVID-related stress, and COVID exposure were associated with a change in the desired number of children.
Methods: The survey was conducted online, in Poland from April to July 2021 on a sample of 622 non-pregnant mothers without diagnosed infertility.
Associations between early family environment and ideal number of children.
Int J Psychol
December 2023
Childhood family is vital for the formation of fertility preferences and attitudes towards family life. Yet previous studies mainly focused on structural aspects of the family, whereas the role of perceptions of one's family in relation to fertility preferences remained largely understudied. This study examined how different aspects of the early family environment (i.

- - Ischemic stroke is a serious brain disease that triggers complex genetic responses in both sides of the brain after injury, specifically in a rat model.
- - A study examined RNA sequencing data from two brain hemispheres following ischemia-reperfusion injury, revealing differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that varied in response between the injured and non-injured sides.
- - The research indicates that understanding these bilateral transcriptome changes could help in developing strategies for brain repair after strokes.
Background: Depression may be associated with a lower likelihood of having children, but the findings are inconsistent. Previous population-based studies on this topic are limited.
Objective: We examined associations between depression and the likelihood of having children, the number of children, and the parental age at first birth.
In chronic experiments on calves, the effect of the left-ventricular assist device (LVAD) technique by using a disc pump on the indicators of ionic and acid-base homeostasis. At blood velocity of 20% from the total volume, a trend towards an increase in K concentration and a slight decrease in the concentration of Na, pH, and standard base excess in animal plasma were observed. If the blood velocity increased up to 90%, the indicators of ionic and acid-base homeostasis returned to their baseline values.
