Using cluster analyses, two distinct patterns of physical aggression emerged for both boys and girls with one aggressive cluster showing mild levels of reactive aggression and one group showing high levels of both reactive and proactive aggression. Both aggressive clusters showed problems with anger dysregulation, impulsivity, thrill and adventure seeking, positive outcome expectancies for aggression, and higher rates of bullying. However, the combined cluster was most severe on all of these variables and only the combined aggressive group differed from non-aggressive students on their level of callous-unemotional traits. Similar patterns of findings emerged for relational aggression but only for girls.

Their explicit emotion labels as well as their use of linguistic forms of evaluation to convey emotion were assessed. Five-year-old boys were the most likely to explicitly label anger, while gender and age differences in explicit emotion labels were absent for the other two emotions. However, children used many more linguistic devices for providing evaluation than explicit emotion labels in their narratives. They also provided more with age, and they used more evaluative devices when talking about anger-arousing events than about happy or surprising events. The few gender differences suggested that 3-year-old girls may acquire earlier mastery of evaluative devices than do boys, especially references to emotional states.

In addition, he witnessed a patient's similar accident and performed an experiment that showed how humans could endure shocks to the head without serious ill effects, other than amnesia. Jan Ingenhousz, Franklin's Dutch-born medical correspondent better known for his discovery of photosynthesis, also had a serious accident that sent electricity though his head and, in a letter to Franklin, he described how he felt unusually elated the next day. During the 1780s, Franklin and Ingenhousz encouraged leading French and English electrical "operators" to try shocking the heads of melancholic and other deranged patients in their wards. Although they did not state that they were responding to Ingenhousz's and Franklin's suggestions, Birch, Aldini, and Gale soon did precisely what Ingenhousz and Franklin had suggested. These practitioners did not appear to induce convulsions in their mentally ill patients, but they still reported notable successes.

Research paper thumbnail of Familial Aggregation of Cryptorchidism—A Nationwide Cohort Study

The authors investigated the contribution of genetic and environmental factors to familial aggregation of cryptorchidism. Using Danish health registers, they identified 25,395 boys diagnosed with cryptorchidism in a cohort of 1,022,713 boys born in 1977-2005. Using binomial log-linear regression, they estimated recurrence risk ratios (RRRs) of cryptorchidism for male twin pairs and first-, second-, and third-degree relatives of a cryptorchidism case. The RRR in same-sex twins was 10.1 (95% confidence interval (CI): 7.78, 13.1). The RRR among first-degree relatives was significantly higher among brothers (RRR ¼ 3.52, 95% CI: 3.26, 3.79) than for offspring of a cryptorchidism case (RRR ¼ 2.31, 95% CI: 2.09, 2.54). The RRR was also found to be significantly higher in maternal (RRR ¼ 2.12, 95% CI: 1.74, 2.60) than paternal (RRR ¼ 1.28, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.61) half brothers. In conclusion, inherited factors were found to have a moderate influence on the risk of cryptorchidism. The data are compatible with the hypothesis that maternal factors operating in utero are important for the risk of cryptorchidism.
