The Institute for Women’s Health Research at Northwestern University’s health blog has brought this press release from the National Institutes of Health to my attention. Did you guys know that the differences between women and men are so great that it actually affects how the body experiences medical symptoms and absorbs and reacts to medication? Northwestern’s health blog explores this in depth, explaining that the medical industry has been focusing their clinical trials on males and male animals, which means that “researchers could be missing out on potential new treatments for both men and women.” In fact, the health blog highlights an unintentional drug poisoning that is on the rise due to the difference in sexes and the fact that the medical industry does not study women in their trials. Hopefully the medical industry will realize how detrimental this practice is and rid their studies of gender bias.
Danke Marion, für diesen Beitrag. Gesundheitspolitisch gibt es viel aufzuarbeiten und neu zu konzipieren. (Zum Design von Mann und Frau auf der Treppe: optische Umweltverschmutzung.)

Die Schrauben festgezurrt, sind aber trotzdem ganz schön locker.
