Intrauterine Exposure to Alcohol and Tobacco Use and Childhood IQ: Findings from a Parental-Offspring Comparison within the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children

TL;DR: In fully adjusted models, there was no strong statistical evidence that maternal alcohol and tobacco consumption during pregnancy were associated with childhood IQ with any greater magnitude than paternal alcohol and Tobacco consumption (also assessed during their partners' pregnancy).
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic Associations with Gestational Duration and Spontaneous Preterm Birth

TL;DR: A genomewide association study in a discovery set of samples obtained from 43,568 women of European ancestry using gestational duration as a continuous trait and term or preterm (<37 weeks) birth as a dichotomous outcome is performed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shared genetic basis for migraine and ischemic stroke: A genome-wide analysis of common variants

Rainer Malik, +56 more
- 26 May 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified the genetic overlap between migraine and ischemic stroke with respect to common genetic variation and found substantial overlap between the two disorders using all four approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI

The contribution of risk factors to stroke differentials, by socioeconomic position in adulthood: the Renfrew/Paisley Study.

TL;DR: Risk factors for stroke can explain some of the socioeconomic differences in stroke risk, and women living in the most deprived areas seem particularly at risk of stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards a resolution of the proton form factor problem: new electron and positron scattering data

D. Adikaram, +159 more
TL;DR: The TPE contribution to the proton electric form factor is determined by measuring the ratio of positron-proton to electron- proton elastic scattering cross sections using a simultaneous, tertiary electron-positron beam incident on a liquid hydrogen target and detecting the scattered particles in the Jefferson Lab CLAS detector.
