Surgery 147(1):4 (2010) PMID 20082798

Female animals tolerate trauma and hemorrhage better than male animals AND Estrogen has rapid nongenomic effects that protect organs from damage and attenuate insult-induced inflammation MOREOVER The survival deficit from trauma and hemorrhage produced in ovariectomized female animals is repaired with administration of exogenous estrogen AND Women survive injury, sepsis, and trauma-hemorrhage-induced hypoxemia/reperfusion better than men THEREFORE Women rule ... in survival after trauma, thus, men would benefit from being more like women.

    We used experimental manipulation of body size to rule out the effects of confounding variables. We found that size-manipulated benthic and limnetic stickleback females prefer mates whose body size more closely matches their own. It is thus likely that assortative mating by phenotype matching has fa...

    1165 women with adnexal masses underwent transvaginal ultrasonography, 301 had surgery. Prevalence of malignancy was 31% (n=92). SD were able to classify 46% of the masses into benign or malignant (step one), with a sensitivity of 93% and specificity of 97%. Applying SD followed by SR to residual un...
