Likewise research examining diverse patient groups is equally important - to advance appropriate health care and mitigate neglect due to inherent biases as these two studies highlight: 1) bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Here is a latest study examining gender-based differences in brain development of children with autism 🧪https://www.thetransmitter.org/spectrum/structure-of-striatum-varies-by-sex-in-autistic-children/?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=org-social&utm_campaign=20250227-striatum-varies

A major factor in health disparities is the historical underrepresentation of females in clinical and basic research, prompting efforts to improve inclusion in studies and trials.
I am cautiously optimistic that we will continue to examine this variable in our studies! (4/4)

Differences also exist in disease onset, progression, diagnosis time, vaccine response, and drug efficacy. (3/4)

Females have higher rates of multiple sclerosis, major depressive disorder, and Alzheimer’s disease; males are more likely to be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and Parkinson’s disease. (2/4)

wow! I do not expect this from print media!

That's really cool!

I think it was the same for us too :) These rotations forced us to go out of our comfort techniques and usual ways of problem solving and explore other ways of approaching the same broad questions!
