Post by: quietdynamics on May 25, 2014, 05:57:54 PM

We came in for a break from some work we were doing and caught this part of 60 minutes.
Apparently it was aired earlier in Feb. and there is a comment at the end.

Sex matters: Drugs can affect sexes differently

Interesting about the difference in results when different gender used in lab rats/ mice.
And results in stem cell research.
Heart attack symptoms.   

There was that study I found and posted, that men with SJS have very different lab results and symptoms than females. Most research is done on females, so are males under- represented? Missed?
