Time‐dependent association between prenatal hair glucocorticoid levels and child behavior problems
BACKGROUND: Child internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems are highly prevalent psychiatric symptoms worldwide, for which maternal prenatal stress is a known risk factor. However, underlying neuroendocrine mechanisms remain largely unclear. We investigated whether maternal hair cortisol (HCC) and cortisone concentration (HCNC) are associated with offspring's internalizing and externalizing behavior problems in a prospective pre-birth c…
Caregiving responsibilities, living alone, and mental health among older women during a time of collective stress

This commentary contextualizes potential mental health outcomes for children during and after the COVID-19 pandemic within the risk and resilience literature. Individual, familial, and community-level factors that may increase risk for mental health challenges for children as well as factors associated with positive adaptation in the face of adversity are considered. We highlight the value of considering children's resilience within a systemic pe…

Childhood Exposure to Violence and Chronic Physical Conditions in a National Sample of US Adolescents
OBJECTIVES: Exposure to violence is associated with chronic physical conditions in adults. Although violence exposure is common among youths, it is unknown whether violence is associated with chronic physical conditions in childhood and adolescence. We examined the associations of violence exposure with chronic physical conditions in a population-representative sample of US adolescents and determined whether associations were explained by co-occu…
Associations Among Child Abuse, Depression, and Interleukin-6 in Pregnant Adolescents
OBJECTIVE: Limited data exist on child abuse-related immune variation during pregnancy, despite implications for maternal and infant health and extensive data showing that abuse history and depression are related to increased inflammation in other populations. This study examined associations among child abuse, depression, circulating levels of inflammatory markers, and perinatal health in pregnant adolescents, a group at high risk for childhood …

Variations in body dimensions in relation to altitude among the Sherpas of the eastern Himalayas
A biomedical study was undertaken on the Sherpas of Upper Khumbu (3500-4500m), Nepal, and their migrant counterparts in the lower altitudes (1000-1500m) of Kalimpong subdivision, Darjeeling district, West Bengal, to study the impact of altitude on human biological characteristics in this Himalayan population, following the basic design of the IBP/Human Adaptability Panel. The results of the anthropometric survey of the adults (234 males and 169 f…
Role of Trait Anxiety and Induced Arousal in Two-Flash Threshold of Neurotic Patients
To examine the effects of trait anxiety and induced arousal on two-flash threshold 10 neurotic patients and 10 normal students were tested in aroused (70 dB white noise) and non-aroused conditions. Patients had higher state and trait anxiety than normals. A significant difference in two-flash threshold was observed between the groups during non-arousal only
