Significant sex differences in terms of prevalence, symptomatic profiles, severity, and comorbidities of psychiatric disorders are quite common. Women have been shown to be more vulnerable to stress and are nearly twice as likely as men to develop stress-related disorders such as depression and anxiety. Therefore, understanding sex differences with...

Objective Neurotensin and xenin are two closely related anorexigenic neuropeptides synthesized in the small intestine that exert diverse peripheral and central functions. Both act via the neurotensin-1-receptor. In animal models of obesity reduced central concentrations of these peptides have been found. Dysregulations of the acute and chronic stre...

Male patients with pulmonary hypertension have poor survival than their female counterparts. Poor right ventricular function in men may be one of the major determinants of poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the difference in hemodynamics during exercise between men and women by exercise echocardiography. Consecutive patients with pulmo...

Background Cardiac function and morphology are known to differ between men and women. Sex differences seen with echocardiography have not been studied systematically in masters athletes. Purpose To evaluate sex differences in cardiac structure, function and left ventricular (LV) systolic global longitudinal strain among masters athletes. Methods Th...

Sleep is crucial for optimal well-being, and sex differences in sleep quality have significant implications for women’s health. We review the current literature on sex differences in sleep, such as differences in objective and subjective sleep measures and their relationship with aging. We then discuss the convincing evidence for the role of ovaria...

Sex differences in social adjustment are frequently observed; however, there has been very little research on adaptability in the individual and social domains. The aim of this study was to investigate the sex difference in social abilities, such as high self-appeal, sociability, school adaptation, and home adaptation between school-age males and f...
In systemic mastocytosis (SM), the clinical features and survival vary greatly. Patient-related factors determining the outcome in SM are largely unknown. Methods: We examined the impact of sex on the clinical features, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) in 3403 patients with mastocytosis collected in the registry of the Eur...

Simple Summary This study analyzed the sex difference in the effect of smoking exposure on lung cancer in terms of absolute and relative risks despite the increasing lung cancer incidence in Asian female never smokers. Lung cancer risk is positively associated with the duration of smoking, quantity of smoking, and pack-years of smoking, and negativ...
