Synopsis:
Principles of Gender-Specific Medicine will explain how normal human biology differs between men and women and how the diagnosis and treatment of disease differs as a function of gender. This revealing new research covers various conditions that occur predominantly in men, and conditions that occure predominantly in women. Specific chapters are dedicated to cardiovascular disease, mood disorders, gender differences in the immune system, greater sensitivity of women to lung cancer as a consequence of smoking, osteoporosis and gender, gender-specific aspects of diabetes and obesity, and infectious diseases.
