Aggressiveness in Italian Children with ADHD: MAOA Gene Polymorphism Involvement.

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that children and adults can develop. A complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors may underlie interindividual variability in ADHD and potentially related aggressive behavior. Using high-resolution molecular biology techniques, we investigated the impact of some MAOA and SLC6A4 variations on ADHD and aggressive behavior in a group of 80 Italian children with ADHD and in 80 healthy controls.

Risk mitigation at train stations: underlying causes of slips, trips, and falls for passengers with reduced mobility.

Slips, trips, and falls (STFs) occur frequently at train stations and on trains, and result in passengers injuries. STFs underlying causes focussing on passengers with reduced mobility (PRM) were investigated. Mixed methods combining observation and retrospective interviews were used.

Large-scale migration into Britain during the Middle to Late Bronze Age.

Present-day people from England and Wales have more ancestry derived from early European farmers (EEF) than did people of the Early Bronze Age. To understand this, here we generated genome-wide data from 793 individuals, increasing data from the Middle to the Late Bronze Age and Iron Age in Britain by 12-fold, and western and central Europe by 3.5-fold.
