OBJECTIVE In the present experimental study, we examined topographic variability of composition of brain oscillations and their temporal behavior in frequencies from 0.5 to 30 Hz of interictal EEG without epileptiform abnormalities and healthy EEG. METHODS Spatio-temporal variability of brain oscillations (indexed by short-term EEG spectral patterns (SPs)) was assessed by the probability-clas...

Previous studies identified 180 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with adult height, explaining ∼10% of the variance. The age at which these begin to affect growth is unclear. We modelled the effect of these SNPs on birth length and childhood growth. A total of 7768 participants in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children had data available. Individual growth trajecto...

The incidence of invasive cervical cancer by age and marital status was examined, using census statistics and 1968--71 cancer registry data from women who lived in the Manchester Regional Hospital Board area. The relative rarity of the disease in the unmarried and its higher incidence in formerly married than in currently married women was confirmed. This higher incidence was shown to be mainly...
