We aimed to investigate labor onset and delivery mode in women with CHD relative to women without heart disease and explore the time trends of induced labor and cesarean deliveries.

If there is one single biomaterial that should be studied and used by materials scientists across disciplines to achieve a sustainable future, it is cellulose. This perspective provides insights for the general materials science community about the unique properties of wood and cellulose and how they may be used in advanced sustainable materials to make a substantial societal impact.

This study aimed to investigate the on-farm Campylobacter-reducing effect of feeding three feed additives or a water additive to broilers from hatching to slaughter. Newly hatched Ranger Gold broilers (n = 140) were randomly placed into five cages (n = 28/cage) within a flock of 6,000 broilers.

We investigated time trends of CHD in women of reproductive age and maternal CHD in childbirth and compared birth rates in women with CHD to birth rates in women without heart disease.
Methods And Results: In a national cohort, we combined information from five registries in Norway 1994-2014.
Background: The knowledge about the prevalence of schizophrenia among people with intellectual disabilities (ID) is sparse, particularly concerning the distribution in different age groups.
Aims: To investigate the prevalence of diagnoses in the schizophrenia spectrum among people with ID compared with the general population (gPop).
Methods: This was an 8-year longitudinal register study.
