Sex-Related Differences in Visuomotor Skill Recovery Following Concussion in Working-Aged Adults
… skill performance, concussion history, and sex during the course of a post-concussion management program. Participants with and without a concussion history were tested on their visuomotor skills prior to and following the recovery program. We observed significant visuomotor skill …

Sex-Related Differences in Hypertension and Renal Injury: Role of the Renin-Angiotensin System
Sex differences in hypertension and tissue injury are evident in experimental models and human subjects, yet the mechanisms underlying this disparity remain equivocal. The prevalence of hypertension in the United States has increased over the past century and progresses at a faster rate in men than …

Sex-related differences in perception and discrimination of different speakers: An analysis of the auditory dorsal stream via EEG
… and that this activity varies due to context, sex, cognitive load, and cognitive ability. However, it is unknown as to whether the sex of the speaker and demands of the task differentially effect males and females during speech perception tasks. This study investigated whether speaker sex and …

The surface electromyography-force relationship during isometric dorsiflexion in males and females
This study evaluated sex-related differences in the tibialis anterior (TA) surface electromyography (EMG) to force relationship. One-hundred participants (50 males and 50 females) performed three isometric contractions at 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) in an …

Increased Lipid Metabolism in Response to Repetitive Aerobic Exercise During Proestrus in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Rats
… during proestrus than T1DM males. Fuel selection differences may explain sex-related differences in the blunted counterregulatory responses to subsequent exercise and estrogen (E2) has shown to mediate fuel metabolism. Evidence of E2’s activation of AMP-kinase (AMPK) may mediate the metabolic …

Sex Differences in Collateral Remodeling Following Hindlimb Arterial Occlusion
… Therefore, understanding the possible differences in underlying vascular compensation mechanisms is crucial. With arterial occlusions, necrosis and tissue injury can be naturally mitigated by the collateral circulation, improving patient prognosis. Previous sex-comparison studies …

Bayesian population dynamics modeling to guide population restoration and recovery of endangered mussels in the Clinch River, Tennessee and Virginia
… to address the individual variability and sex-related differences in growth. In model selection, the model considering individual variability and sex-related differences (if a species has sexual dimorphism) yielded the lowest DIC value. The results from the best model showed that the mean …

Effect of Sex on the Coordination Patterns of Athletes During Dynamic Activities
… and statistically compared between the sexes. Additionally the stability of the patterns across multiple trials were compared. The results revealed distinct task dependent patterns within each plane of motion however no sex dependent patterns. The underlying etiology for sex related …

Sex-specific differences in the association between history of concussion and cerebral blood flow volume
… p< 0.001; p= 0.035, respectively). Data suggests sex-related differences, particularly in anterior cervical vessels contributing to CBF in athletes with HOC.

The Relationships Between Sex, Poverty, and Maternal Education to Cognitive Development
The current study examined whether sex, poverty and maternal education are associated with infants' and toddlers' cognitive outcomes. Researchers generally agree on the negative effect of poverty on cognitive development; moreover, maternal education is one of the factors that influences poverty. …

XY Needs in Education
… results indicated abundant experience with sex-related differences in behavior but generally without the knowledge of why and without informed strategies to address them. Major findings included consistent conveyance of boys’ behavior as immature, encompassing references to self-control, …

The effect of mercury exposure and season on the physiological status of field collected rock bass
… liver. On the whole, significant physiological differences between the two groups of rock bass were rather limited, although sharp differences in liver ascorbic acid and glutathione were observed between those fish which were collected in July. The July rock bass also had higher levels of liver …

The effect of ageing on the innervation and total collagen content of human colon
… fibres was greater in the AC compared to DC. Sex related differences were not found when data combined in both the AC and DC samples. Collectively, these results indicate that there are region and sublayer dependent changes in the distribution of total collagen fibres, EGCs and calretinin-IR …

A posture control model and balance test for the prediction of relative postural stability, with special consideration to the problem of falling in the elderly
… subjects demonstrated highly significant ageing-related decreases in predicted stability. No significant sex-related differences were found. Predicted stability increased when the subjects were blindfolded. In using the balance test to identify balance-impaired individuals, the blindfolded …

Population pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic modelling to improve tuberculosis treatment
… more slowly in women, an effect driven by sex-related differences in the proportion of body fat. We characterised the effect of clofazimine concentration on QT interval prolongation. We investigated alternative dosing regimen to optimise clofazimine treatment and suggested that a 2-week …

Examining the Behavioral and Molecular Aspects of Adolescent Nicotine Dependence: Implications for Vulnerability to Drugs of Abuse
… aspects of nicotine dependence are both age- and sex-dependent. We observed age- and sex-related differences in both nicotine reward and withdrawal models that imply a heightened vulnerability for adolescents. In addition, we have investigated possible behavioral and molecular mechanisms which may …

The Effects of Oral Contraceptive Use on Ligamentous Injury Incidence in Females: A Potential for Prevention
… such as soccer and basketball. Often blamed on sex differences in biomechanics and neuromuscular control, current literature has failed to demonstrate specific mechanisms capable of explaining sex-related differences injury rates. Consequentially, techniques intended to prevent ACL injury in …
