Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) build nests at night for sleeping and occasionally during daytime for resting. Over the course of seven years, forest fragments in Bulindi, Uganda, were reduced in size by about 80% when landowners converted forest to agricultural land. However, unlike other studies on nesting behavior in response to habitat disturbance, chimpanzees at Bulindi had no opportunity to retreat into nearby undisturbed forest.

- Recent research has increasingly focused on the role of fathers in child development, but factors influencing their beliefs about their child remain unclear.
- A study examined how nasal administration of vasopressin (AVP) affected expressed emotion in 25 prospective fathers, assessing both prenatal and early postnatal stages.
- Findings indicated that while expressed emotion and emotional content were correlated, the birth of a child significantly increased positivity and altered emotional prosody, suggesting that the experience of fatherhood has a greater impact than AVP administration.
Objectives: We determined the prevalence of classical risk factors for atherosclerosis and mortality risk in patients with CGI.
Methods: A case-control study was conducted. Patients referred with suspected CGI underwent a standard work-up including risk factors for atherosclerosis, radiological imaging of abdominal vessels and tonometry.
