PURPOSE to analyze the association of pregnancy in adolescence with low birth weight (LBW). METHODS all the patients who gave birth in a teaching Hospital at Maranhão State from July to December 2006 were included in the study and were split in two groups: adolescents (ten to 19 years old) and adults (20 to 34 years old). The variables studied were: skin color, schooling, marital status, fami...

Isotopic composition of (87) Sr:(86) Sr and natural elemental tracers (Sr, Ba, Mg, Mn and Ca) were quantified from otoliths in juvenile and adult Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha to assess the ability of otolith microchemistry and microstructure to reconstruct juvenile O. tshawytscha rearing habitat and growth. Daily increments were measured to assess relative growth between natal rearin...

Many insects face the challenge to select oviposition sites in heterogeneous environments where biotic and abiotic factors can change over time. One way to deal with this complexity is to use sensory experiences made during developmental stages to locate similar habitats or hosts in which larval development can be maximized. While various studies have investigated oviposition preference and lar...

Dispersal patterns of juvenile northern New Zealand dotterels have been analysed, based on sight recoveries of birds colour-banded as chicks between 1986 and 1998. Birds bred 0-196 km from their natal site, with an average distance of 31 km and a median of 22 km. About 18% of birds returned to their natal site to breed and nearly all (93%) bred within 70 km of their natal site. Between fledging...

INTRODUCTION Riga-Fede disease is a rare pediatric condition in which chronic lingual ulceration results from repetitive trauma. Neonatal teeth or underlying neuro-developmental disorders which include Down syndrome are described as causative factors, but to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of both Down syndrome and natal teeth coexisting. The need for early extraction i...

Pre-natal and early post-natal ovarian development has become a field of increasing importance over recent years. The full effects of perturbations of ovarian development on adult fertility, through environmental changes or genetic anomalies, are only now being truly appreciated. Mitigation of these perturbations requires an understanding of the processes involved in the development of the ovar...
