Nonlinear decline in the association between birth weight and cognitive ability from infancy to midlife in a community sample of twins
These findings suggest that prenatal experiences may have lasting effects on cognitive development across the lifespan, supporting developmental origin models of cognitive ability
Factors associated with self-rated health in people with late-stage parkinson’s and cognitive impairment
Improvement of activities of daily living, mood and anxiety should be prioritised in clinical practice, with consideration of perception and sexual function in this population. Recent nurse consultations and higher antiparkinsonian doses are associated with better self-rated health, suggesting there is no room for a therapeutic nihilism in this population of people within a complex phase of PD
Cognition in older adults in Uganda: Correlates, trends over time and association with mortality in prospective population study
Dementia is an important and growing issue in sub-Saharan Africa, but epidemiological data are lacking. Risk factors may differ from other regions due to high stroke incidence and HIV prevalence. Understanding the epidemiology of cognition in older adults in Africa is crucial for informing public health strategies to improve the lives of people with dementia and their carers. The Wellbeing of Older People Study in Uganda is an open cohort of adul…
Prognostic accuracy of the one-legged balance test in predicting falls: 15-Years of midlife follow-up in a British birth cohort study
Despite previous observational evidence showing associations between better one-legged balance performance and reduced fall risk, the one-legged balance test had limited prognostic accuracy in predicting recurrent falls. This contradicts ongoing translation of this test into clinical screening tools for falls and highlights the need to consider new and existing screening tools that can reliably predict fall risk

Associations Between Factors Across Life and One-Legged Balance Performance in Mid and Later Life: Evidence From a British Birth Cohort Study
This study identified numerous risk factors across life that are associated with one-legged balance performance and highlighted diverse patterns of association with age, suggesting that there are opportunities to intervene in early, mid and later life. A multifactorial approach to intervention, at both societal and individual levels, may have more benefit than focusing on a single risk factor
Developing, Administering, and Scoring the Healthcare Ethics Consultant Certification Examination
In November 2018, the practice of health care ethics consultation crossed a major threshold when 138 candidates took the inaugural Healthcare Ethics Consultant Certification Examination. This accomplishment, long in the making, has had and continues to have both advocates and critics. The Healthcare Ethics Consultant Certification Commission, a functionally autonomous body created and funded by the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities, w…
Industry, Firm, Job Title: The Layered Nature of Early-Career Advantage for Graduates of Elite Private Universities
Using concepts associated with effectively maintained inequality theory and horizontal stratification, the authors ask whether the private-public dividing line is a 'threshold of consequence' for early-career market entry. To address this empirically, the authors use a novel LinkedIn data set to analyze job pathways for the graduating class of 2016 from the top 25 private and top 25 public universities in the United States. In line with past qual…
Railroad Empire across the Heartland: Rephotographing Alexander Gardner’s Westward Journey . By James E. Sherow. Photographs by John R. Charlton
As a photograph curator and amateur photographer, I enjoy immensely perusing rephotography books. I have attempted a rephotography project of my own, and it is far more difficult and time-consuming than I imagined. I can appreciate John R. Charlton’s patience and persistence in his work. Juxtaposing two images that create such a stark historical contrast is an excellent and thought-provoking method of engaging nonacademic audiences. Each viewer w…

Do Psychosocial and Study Skill Factors Predict College Outcomes? A Meta-Analysis
Dementia: Sociological and Philosophical Constructions
Age at Immigration and Scholastic Achievement in School-Age Children: Is There a Vulnerable Age
This study investigates the relationship between age at immigration and educational achievement at age 14 among all the students (about 45,000) who immigrated to Israel between 1952 and 1970. The relationship is examined for verbal and nonverbal components of an achievement test, in subpopulations defined by gender and ethnic background (Westernversus Eastern-born children). The findings indicate a monotonic decrease in achievement as a function …
A Between-Grade-Levels Approach to the Investigation of the Absolute Effects of Schooling on Achievement
The universal nature of school attendance precludes the experimental investigation of the absolute effect of schooling on achievement. The available empirical evidence consists of the results of post hoc analyses of the within-grade-level relationship of students' achievement to the quality and quantity of schooling. This paper suggests a between-grade-levels quasi-experimental approach to the investigation of school's effect on achievement, invo…
