? AQUARIOUS STUTTERS
WHAT? AZZNICA? In the human body there are cytokines - smallinformation molecules (they are small, even in tiny particles), which help cells to communicate with each other and check if they have not degenerated into cancer. Cytokines interact with hormones - this allows the immune and endocrine systems to act in concert. Scientists suspect that hence the differences in the types of tumors which are suffering the representatives of different sexes and how to respond to therapy. For example, the main risk factor for lung cancer -tabak. However, non-smoking women are 2.5 times more likely to be ill with him than not to part with a cigarette young people. It seems that in the case of estrogens. Women undergoing hormone replacement therapy (sometimes prescribed for menopause), risk more. A melanoma girls progresses slowly and rarely metastasizes. Gender observations have almost any type of cancer.
WHAT WILL CHANGE? Specialists will be able to more accurately predict the development ofdisease. Probably will be different, and methods of treatment. It is known that chemotherapy has a different efficacy in men and women with cancer of the rectum, lung and skin. For example, girls with NSCLC (this is 80% of all lung cancer) often help to certain drugs - tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
WHAT? AZZNICA? We can say that our immunity twicestronger than men (or would like to ask: so who is the weaker sex?). Most useful proteins with which it fights infections, encoded on the X chromosome. As we know, there are two girls. The genes in them are different, richer arsenal. It laid the biological sense. Mother always threatening disease to the fetus. It is logical that our immunka works for himself, and »for the guy.» Or the girl, here is how it goes.
But the more complex something is arranged, the easierbreaks. Most patients with autoimmune diseases, illustrious Dr. House - women. The notorious lupus occurs in us 85% more often than men. Similar indicators for rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis (which has nothing to do with memory problems), and biliary cirrhosis.
On the bad news does not end there. In our double defense has holes, the origin of which science is unable to explain. It is known that the fair sex is more sensitive to the hepatitis C virus from infected mother to two times more likely to transmit the virus the baby if she was waiting for the girl (according to the European pediatric network for monitoring hepatitis B virus). And experts from Israel studied the cases of infection with Staphylococcus aureus in hospitals from 1988 to 2007 and found that women die from the infection by 10% more often than men.
WHAT WILL CHANGE? It's not clear yet. The immune system is so complex that the one who will understand how to manage it, certainly give the Nobel Prize.
A team of researchers from Stanford UniversityIt found that women respond better to seasonal flu shots than men, and after vaccination the chances they get sick less. According to doctors, this is due to the influence of the level of the hormone testosterone in the effect of the drug.
