Cooperative Breeding as a Likely Early Catalyst of Human Evolution
Unlike any other great ape, humans give birth to large, secondarily altricial babies, show precocial social development, have bigger brains that require a long maturation period, and engage in cooperative breeding (CB). These traits, which characterize the human adaptive complex, are intricately linked and must have mutually reinforced each other over evolutionary time. Here, we use recent evidence from paleontology, developmental psychology, and…
Infant regulation during the pandemic
In the transition to parenthood, the COVID‐19 pandemic poses an additional strain on parental well‐being. Confirmed infections or having to quarantine, as well as public health measures negatively affect parents and infants. Contrary to previous studies mainly focusing on the well‐being of school‐aged children and their parents during lockdown periods, the present study investigated how mothers of infants respond to the COVID‐19 pandemic and whet…
Trends in Outcomes of Major Intracerebral Haemorrhage in a National Cohort of Very Preterm Born Infants in Switzerland
In 2002-2014, rates of mortality and NDI in very preterm born infants with major brain lesions did not change. The significant decrease in mean GA and changing hospital policies over this time span may factor into the interpretation of these results
New Parents Experienced Lower Parenting Self-Efficacy during the Covid-19 Pandemic Lockdown
Background : The COVID-19 pandemic is a global issue which affects the entire population's mental health. This study evaluates how restrictions to curtail this pandemic change parenting self-efficacy, depressive symptoms, couple satisfaction and health-related quality of life in parents after delivery of a newborn. Methods : In this prospective single center evaluation of parental self-efficacy and quality of life, four validated questionnaires w…
Placebo by Proxy in Neonatal Randomized Controlled Trials
Placebo effects emerging from the expectations of relatives, also known as placebo by proxy, have seldom been explored. The aim of this study was to investigate whether in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) there is a clinically relevant difference in long-term outcome between very preterm infants whose parents assume that verum (PAV) had been administered and very preterm infants whose parents assume that placebo (PAP) had been administered. Th…
