Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is more frequently diagnosed in boys than in girls, possibly due to gender-based differences in symptom presentation or referral patterns. This study investigates gender-related variations in symptom severity and clinical presentation among preschool children referred for suspected ASD.
Methods: This study included 125 children (boys: n=103; girls: n=22) aged 2-5 years suspected of having ASD.

In Brief: Advanced maternal age (AMA) is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, particularly those associated with placental dysfunction. This study showed that in a mouse model of AMA, male but not female fetuses had increased placental apoptosis and lipid peroxidation, as well as increased mitochondrial content, suggesting that the placentas of male fetuses in AMA mothers adapt to be able to deliver sufficient energy to the fetus.
Abstract: Although advanced maternal age (AMA) increases the risk of fetal growth restriction (FGR) and stillbirth, the mechanisms leading to the placental dysfunction observed in AMA are unknown.

Tattoos and permanent make-up (PMU) gain increasing popularity among the general population. There are indications that pigments or their fragments may translocate within the body, however knowledge about possible systemic adverse effects related to tattoos is very limited. We investigated the prevalence of systemic chronic health effects including cardiovascular diseases, cancer and liver toxicity and their relationship with the presence and characteristics of tattoos and PMU as part of the LIFE-Adult-study, a population-based cohort study.

Background: Postural balance is impaired in adults with asthma; however, this remains poorly understood in older people with asthma.
Objective: To assess postural balance and the incidence of falls in older individuals with moderate to severe asthma.
Methods: A controlled cross-sectional study with follow-up included individuals aged 65 to 80 years (asthma group,AG; n = 26) and without asthma (control group,CG; n = 27).
