Previous studies have indicated that many, but not all, female common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) housed with their natal families undergo social suppression of ovulation. In this study, we further characterized ovulatory activity in common marmoset daughters to determine the prevalence of social suppression of ovulation and to elucidate familial influences on daughters' ovarian activity. Bl...

BACKGROUND Mothers have a primary role in the prevention of cervical cancer in Korea. This study aimed to determine the awareness and health beliefs of mothers about preventing cervical cancer in their daughters, their intention to recommend the Pap test to their daughters, and the factors influencing this intention. METHODS A cross-sectional survey design was employed, and the study enrolled...

Progeny-test (PT) programs of US artificial-insemination (AI) organizations were examined to determine timeliness of sampling, PT daughter distribution, rate of return of PT bulls to widespread service, and genetic merit of PT bulls compared with AI-proven and natural-service (NS) bulls. Bull age at semen release and at birth and calving of PT daughters was documented by breed (Ayrshire, Brown ...

This study used a comprehensive, interview-based measure of life stress to assess the role of different types of stress in predicting first onset of psychiatric disorders among daughters of depressed (n = 22) mothers and healthy (n = 22) mothers. Several types of stress were assessed: Chronic interpersonal stress, chronic non-interpersonal stress, episodic dependent (i.e., self-generated) inter...

Of 138 grandchildren of patients, four had pyloric stenosis confirmed at Ramstedt's operation. For the four categories of grandchildren of male index patients the proportion affected was 0/27, 1/17, 1/41, and 0/35 for sons' sons, sons' daughters, daughters' sons, and daughters' daughters, respectively. For the four categories of grandchildren of female index patients the proportion affected was...

Over 119,000 Jersey cows (daughters of 374 bulls) that first calved in 1979 through 1987 were used to evaluate management and genetic effects on suwival in Jersey cows. Survival traits included survival through first lactation, survival to 20 mo after fist calving, and length of productive life (maximum 60 mo). Higher production in first lactation and lower age at first calving were associated ...
