Didgeridoo Playing and Singing to Support Asthma Management in Aboriginal Australians
CONTEXT: Asthma affects over 15% of Australian Aboriginal people. Compliance in asthma management is poor. Interventions that will increase compliance are required. PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to determine whether Aboriginal children, adolescents and adults would engage in music lessons to increase their knowledge of asthma and support management of their asthma. METHODS: Participants were recruited from schools and through the local Ab…
Teeth emergence in wild olive baboons in Kenya and formulation of a dental schedule for aging wild baboon populations
Teeth emergence schedules are presented from analysis of 95 wild olive baboons Papio anubis (age range 2–120 months) and compared to recently published results for wild and captive yellow baboons ( P. cynocephalus; Phillips‐Conroy and Jolly: American Journal of Primatology 15:17–29, 1988). Age at emergence of M1 (20.5 months males, 19.5 months females), I1 (32.5 and 33.5 months) and I2 (40.0 and 39 months) of olive baboons was earlier than in the…
Nutrition, body condition, activity patterns, and parasitism of free‐ranging troops of olive baboons ( Papio anubis ) in Kenya
Three troops of olive baboons ( Papio anubis ) comprising 134 animals were captured during a translocation program. All three troops (PHG, CRIP, WBY) lived in high‐altitude savannah, but two (CRIP and WBY) also frequented human settlements, where they had access to the garbage pits and vegetable gardens. The translocation offered the opportunity to compare body condition, activity patterns, and parasitism among the troops of animals. A variety of…
Reproduction in the vervet monkey ( Cercopithecus aethiops )
The menstrual cycles of 17 multiparous vervet monkeys were studied. Based on estradiol, progesterone, and LH profiles, ovulation is predicted to occur on day 13 of the 32.4‐day menstrual cycle. Estradiol peaked on the day preceding the LH peak in 75% of cycles. Average luteal phase length (progesterone greater than 4 nmol/l) was 18 days, with progesterone rising above 4 nmol/l on the day of the LH peak. Vaginal cytology and perianal skin colorati…
Reproduction in the vervet monkey ( Cercopithecus aethiops )
Menstrual patterns and progesterone levels were monitored for 5 years from a cohort of 28 female vervet monkeys that were individually caged indoors. Three distinct cycle types (short, normal, and prolonged) were defined according to cycle length. Mean length of the normal cycle (32.5 days) and menses duration (4.8 days) are in agreement with previous reports. Prolonged cycles (> 50 days) contributed 20% of the total, with a decreased incidence d…
Reproduction in the vervet monkey ( Cercopithecus aethiops )
To test whether the male could contribute to the birth peak seen in both wild and captive vervets, testicular volume and peripheral testosterone concentration were measured monthly in nine adults throughout a 14‐month period. Volume was an average of 15% greater during the months of June to September, the period of natural breeding activity in the wild, than at other times of the year. Testosterone concentration rose throughout the time period bu…
Reproductive biology of Sykes and blue monkeys ( Cercopithecus mitis )
Thirty‐five live births were recorded over a 5‐year period from three subspecies of the mitis (Sykes and blue) monkey ( Cercopithecus mitis ) maintained outdoors in single‐male harem breeding groups. There was no indication of birth seasonality. Females of one subspecies, C. m. kolbi , were individually caged, and basic reproductive parameters were monitored. A menstrual cycle length of 31.9 ± 6.0 days was recorded, and there were a large number …
