Indirect evidence of sex-selective abortion practices to the imbalanced sex ratio at birth in Australian migrant populations. by Amanuel Tesfay Gebremedhin, Gizachew A Tessema, Ravisha Srinivasjois, Judith A Daire, Kevin A Chai, Bereket Duko, Kalayu Brhane Mruts, Gavin Pereira

“…For mothers from China, the SRB was 1.09 at second birth, slightly varying by sex of previous child (1.07 for male, 1.11 for a female) and markedly higher (1.34) at the third birth when the first two were female. A similar pattern was observed for Indian-born mothers. Indian and Chinese mothers had much higher induced abortion rates in early pregnancy than their Australian counterparts, which coincided with the introduction of non-invasive prenatal testing. …”

Altered cortical swallowing processing in patients with functional dysphagia: a preliminary study. by Sonja Suntrup, Inga Teismann, Andreas Wollbrink, Tobias Warnecke, Martin Winkels, Christo Pantev, Rainer Dziewas

“…<h4>Conclusions</h4>Functional dysphagia--a condition with assumed normal brain function--seems to be associated with distinctive changes of the swallow-related cortical activation pattern. Alterations may reflect exaggerated activation of a widely distributed vigilance, self-monitoring and salience rating network that interferes with down-stream deglutition sensorimotor control.…”
