There is growing evidence of the connection between variations in kinship intensity and cross-cultural differences in psychological traits. Contributing to this literature on kinship intensity, we put forward a mental model to explain the enduring connection between ancestral niche and psychological traits. Our model posits that two primary orientations or dispositions-strong-ties and weak-ties rationalities-have co-evolved with our ancestral niches to perpetuate-by internalizing and reproducing-the social structure (such as preferences for certain attitudes, values, and beliefs) of the ancestral niche.

- The study aimed to identify factors that predict how much benefit patients feel after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair from pre-surgery to 6 months post-surgery.
- Data from 2010 patients revealed that 84% experienced a self-reported benefit, with those rating their shoulder poorly before surgery seeing the most improvement.
- Key factors linked to greater patient-rated benefits included lower shoulder stiffness, stronger internal rotation strength, injury unrelated to work, being female, a more strenuous job prior to injury, larger tear size, and weaker abduction strength.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the incidence and characteristics of postinjury multiple organ failure (MOF) in severely injured trauma patients across five trauma centers in New South Wales, Australia.
- Out of 600 polytrauma patients studied, 23% developed MOF, with the majority showing symptoms by day 3, and no new cases occurring after day 13.
- Cardiac failure was the most common organ failure observed, with different mortality rates among organ failures, indicating that while MOF is rare in the general population, it is a significant risk in severely injured patients.
