Conclusive evidence was provided in an earlier study by the authors of higher female than male mortality from shortly after birth through the childbearing ages in a rural area of Bangladesh.' Male mortality exceeded female mortality in the neonatal period, but this differential was reversed in the p...

This study provides conclusive documentation of higher female than male mortality from shortly after birth through the childbearing ages in a rural area of Bangladesh. The higher male mortality rates during the neonatal period are consistent with reports from developed countries; but whereas in deve...

This study investigates the relationship between birth intervals and childhood mortality, using longitudinal data from rural Bangladesh known to be of exceptional accuracy and completeness. Results demonstrate significant but very distinctive effects of the previous and subsequent birth intervals on...

The issue of higher female than male mortality during childhood in developing countries has recently generated considerable interest. This paper presents additional evidence on this subject, based upon an analysis of longitudinal data from children in rural Bangladesh. Initially, the basis for highe...

Within an area of Bangladesh in which the incidence of cholera was high, use of sanitary pipe wells did not protect against cholera or related non-cholera diarrhoeas because well users also used contaminated water sources regularly enough to maintain high infection-rates. Protection was found to cor...

The inverse correlation between mortality and socioeconomic status [SES] has been documented in various parts of the developing world. Using 1974 socioeconomic status information from Matlab Bangladesh the authors show a similar inverse relationship. Several indicators are used such as education of ...

Global biodiversity gradients are generally expected to reflect greater species replacement closer to the equator. However, empirical validation of global biodiversity gradients largely relies on vertebrates, plants, and other less diverse taxa. Here we assess the temporal and spatial dynamics of gl...

Abstract Epilepsy diagnosis can be costly, time-consuming and not uncommonly inaccurate. The reference standard diagnostic monitoring is continuous video-EEG monitoring, ideally capturing all events or concordant interictal discharges. Automating EEG data review would save time and resources, thus e...

BACKGROUND: Current strategies to prevent adverse cardiovascular outcomes focus primary prevention in high-risk groups and secondary prevention in people with known cardiovascular disease. We aimed to determine the proportion of events occurring in lower-risk groups globally. METHODS: We included pe...

Son preference exists almost exclusively in South Asia (Bairagi & Langsten, 1986). Ahmed (1971), Arnold (1997), and Vlassoff (1990), report a higher ratio of preference for sons over daughters in most Asian countries. Scholars have observed this preference in India through sex-selective abortions th...
