Morphometric Study on the Mandible of Colobine Fossil (Mesopithecus pentelicus) Found in East Asia, a Comparison With Extant Taxa.

A tooth-bearing mandible fossil of a colobine monkey discovered at Shuitangba, Zhaotong, Yunnan, China, was morphometrically analyzed and compared with extant Asian colobines. Our previous qualitative and quantitative descriptions indicate that it can be safely attributed to Mesopithecus pentelicus, a Miocene fossil colobine widely found in Europe and South Asia. The present research aims to explore fossil association with extant colobines and functionally propose its dietary preferences based on multivariate morphometric analyses of mandibular morphology.

Oxidative stress (OS) and impaired immune function (IF) have been proposed as key physiological costs of reproduction. The relationship between OS and IF remains unresolved, particularly in long-living iteroparous species. We studied physiological markers of maintenance (OS, IF markers) in lactating, post-lactating and non-lactating females of edible dormice-a long-living rodent.

- - The study investigates the relationship between the size of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms and their growth rates, utilizing a precise technique called vascular deformation mapping for measurement.
- - Researchers analyzed data from 258 patients (average age 63) with aneurysm diameters of at least 4.0 cm and found that the maximal diameter of the aorta does not correlate with the growth rate, which averaged 0.21 mm/year.
- - Factors like age, weight, and the severity of aortic valve insufficiency were identified as significant predictors of growth rate, suggesting that routine size assessments alone may not adequately determine surgical candidacy.
The Long-Term Associations of Perinatal Obesogenic Environment with Offspring Biological Aging.

Biological age (BA), reflecting aging-related health decline beyond chronological age, varies among individuals. While previous research explored associations of maternal pregnancy-related body size with offspring health outcomes, its implications for BA in young adults remain unclear. Utilizing longitudinal data of 1,148 mother-offspring pairs from the Jerusalem Perinatal Study, we analyzed associations of maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain (GWG) with offspring Klemera-Doubal method (KDM)-based BA at age 32, and potential familial life-course underlying mechanisms.

Background: Institutional births ensure deliveries happen under the supervision of skilled healthcare personnel in an enabling environment. For countries like India, with high neonatal and maternal mortalities, achieving 100% coverage of institutional births is a top policy priority. In this respect, public health institutions have a key role, given that they remain the preferred choice by most of the population, owing to the existing barriers to healthcare access.
