Factors Contributing to Stupidity: Journal of Intellectual Disabilities: Crimson Publishers


Factors Contributing to Stupidity by James F Welles* in Crimson Publishers


In searching for intrinsic causes of human imperfections, it is most reasonable to begin with a consideration of genetics, and indeed a genetic model for maladaptation has been proposed by evolutionary psychologists Cosmi-des & Tooby [1]. They attribute some maladaptation to a mismatch between the mandates of a human gene pool shaped during the Pleistocene but expressed in a modern, urban environment.

Social Isolation in the Elderly; Physical Activity to the Rescue-Crimson Publishers

Image
Social Isolation in the Elderly; Physical Activity to the Rescue by Ogundiran Opeyemi Olufemi* in  Degenerative Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities Human beings are naturally sociable, and this evidence can be seen in the establishment of many types of relationships among them. There are endless benefits associated with social interactions which are critical to the maintenance of optimal health. A socially-isolated individual usually lacks a sense of belonging among his or her peers which could inevitably lead to depression or its associated symptoms especially in the geriatric population. The problem of social isolation among older adults is emerging due to several risk factors. The major aim of this opinion article is to critically examine the relevance of physical activity in tackling social isolation among the elderly. https://crimsonpublishers.com/didd/fulltext/DIDD.000502.php

Homocysteine Serum Levels and Methylenetetrahydrofolate (MTHFR) C677T Genotype in Patients with Parkinson's Disease, with and without Levodopa Therapy _ Crimson Publishers

Homocysteine Serum Levels and Methylenetetrahydrofolate (MTHFR) C677T Genotype in Patients with Parkinson's Disease, with and without Levodopa Therapy by Eleonora DŽoljić* and Vladimir Kostić  in Degenerative Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities Both methylenetetrahydrofolate (MTHFR) C677T genotype and levodopa treatment may give rise to elevated serum homocysteine levels in parkinsonian patients. We aimed to clarify the interplay of these factors in pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD)-related hyperhomocysteinemia . Total serum levels of homocysteine (tHcy) and MTHFR C677T genotype were investigated in levodopa -treated and -untreated parkinsonian ("de novo”) patients, as well as in control healthy subjects matched by age and gender (N=83, 30 and 53, respectively). MTHFR C677T genotypes were equally distributed in PD patients and control subjects, the T allele homozygosity being observed in app. 12-17% cases. https://crimsonpublishe...

Intellectual Disability, Childhood Overweight and Obesity - Crimson Publishers

Intellectual Disability, Childhood Overweight and Obesity by Ray Marks* in Degenerative Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities Exercise, a vital health-promoting activity, regardless of health status, is often recommended for helping to prevent or reduce the onset and progression of obesity, a major global health concern. Yet, even though youth with disabilities may be at a high risk for obesity, little effort seems to be applied towards encouraging the use exercise among youth with intellectual or developmental disabilities. This brief attempts to explain why obesity prevention is needed and how to promote this among this special needs group of youth, where participating in physical activity and sustaining this is very challenging.   https://crimsonpublishers.com/didd/fulltext/DIDD.000503.php
