Rates and causes of mortality among children and young people with and without intellectual disabilities in Scotland: a record linkage cohort study of 796 190 school children by Angela Henderson, Sally-Ann Cooper, Deborah Kinnear, Craig Melville, J P Pell, Michael Fleming, Gillian S Smith

“…Objectives To investigate mortality rates and causes in children and young people with intellectual disabilities.Design Retrospective cohort; individual record linkage between Scotland’s annual pupil census and National Records of Scotland death register.Setting General community.Participants Pupils receiving local authority-funded schooling in Scotland, 2008 to 2013, with an Additional Support Need due to intellectual disabilities, compared with other pupils.Main outcome measures Deaths up to 2015: age of death, age-standardised mortality ratios (age-SMRs); causes of death including cause-specific age-SMRs; avoidable deaths as defined by the UK Office of National Statistics.Results 18 278/947 922 (1.9%) pupils had intellectual disabilities. 106 died over 67 342 person-years (crude mortality rate=157/100 000 person-years), compared with 458 controls over 3 672 224 person-years (crude mortality rate=12/100 000 person-years). …”

Group housing increases alertness and social interaction compared to traditional single stabling in two-year-old sport horse stallions during pretraining by L. Kroschel, F. Pilger, J. Aurich, C. Nagel, C. Aurich

“…Stallions were 24 months old and housed either in a group stable (Group 24, n = 9) or in individual boxes (Box 24, n = 10), or they were 30 months of age and housed in individual boxes (Box 30, n = 10). Cortisol, heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), body development, injuries and selected behaviour patterns were analysed (1) at transfer from pasture to stable and (2) thereafter, repeatedly during pretraining. …”

Short Report: Estimating Blood Lactate Dynamics from Sweat Lactate and Sweat Rate After High-Intensity Exercise – A Pilot Regression-Based Study by Hattori M, Yashiro K

“…Sweat lactate (SWL) and sweat rate (SWR) have been explored as non-invasive alternatives, but their capacity to estimate BL dynamics after short-term high-intensity exercise remains unclear.Purpose: This pilot study aimed to evaluate whether BL dynamics can be predicted using a regression model based on the time-series patterns of SWL and SWR measured by wearable sensors.Methods: Five healthy male athletes (three sprinters and two endurance runners) performed a 30-second Wingate anaerobic test. …”

Older adults looking at dog pictures - psychobiological effects by Catia Correia-Caeiro, Teresa Romero, Kun Guo, Daniel S. Mills

“…Therefore, in this study we tested if looking at static dog images could have physiological and/or psychological effects in older adults, by collecting salivary oxytocin, heart rate, optimism scores, testing cooperativeness/competitiveness, and examining gaze patterns when looking at dog pictures in three conditions: dogs facing the observer, dogs facing sideways, or control pixelated pictures. …”
