Postnatal salivary cortisol and sense of coherence (SOC) in Eritrean mothers
Article Abstract:
A pilot study is conducted to examine possible physiological correlates of maternal sense of coherence (SOC) by looking at salivary cortisol levels in Eritrean mothers during the immediate pre- and postnatal period. Radioimmunoassay results revealed no differences between prenatal and control concentrations of salivary cortisol, but postnatal levels are significantly lower.

Mode of inheritance of dermatoglyphic pattern intensity index of fingers in five Indian populations: A comparative study between individual trait and its factor
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to ascertain the extent of variation between individual trait PII and its factor (factor 1) with respect to mode of inheritance. The results indicate that the variability of their biological relevance was influenced by the same genetic component, representing a similar mode of inheritance with major gene involvement in all populations.

Age at natural menopause in Spain and the United States: Results from the DAMES project
Article Abstract:
A research is conducted to determine the median age of natural menopause and correlates of the timing of menopause in Spain and the United States. Using logit analysis and logistic regression, the median age of natural menopause in Spain is estimated at 51.7 years, and in the U.S. it is 52.6 years.
