Background Previous investigations by our group have consistently identified important sex differences in HRQOL outcomes of patients with CAD with women reporting poorer HRQOL compared with men. The purpose of this study was to extend our previous work to determine whether sex differences and/or associations in bivariate analyses may provide insight in the modeling of health outcomes data. Method A descriptive analysis of the variables was performed. Sex differences on all variables were examined using t test and Chi-square analyses. The relationships between all clinical, demographic, socio-demographic and HRQOL outcome variables were examined stratified by sex. Results 7062, 1- year HRQOL questionnaires were collected on patients catheterized between Jan 2006 and Dec 2009. 20.8% (1468 of 7062) were from women. Statistically significant sex differences were noted in 10/23 clinical and all 8 of the sociodemographic variables measured. A critical sex difference in the nature of the relationship between depression scores and age was identified. Whereas a quadratic relationship was seen in the men's group, the relationship in the women's group was cubic (figure 1). This implies that analyzing data by including sex, age, and depression scores in the same model will in essence sacrifice the unique nature of the relationship for at least one sex. Conclusions Our data suggests that sex-based analyses should be conducted particularly when modeling predictors of HRQOL outcome. Failing to do so may result in misleading conclusions that will miss opportunities to intervene early in clinically treatable circumstances and to improve the outcomes of men and women with CAD.

The Relationship

Summary: The Gudjonsson Compliance Scale (GCS), the COPE Scale, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were administered to 212 men and 212 women. Multiple regression of the test scores showed that low self-esteem and denial coping were the best predictors of compliance in both men and women. Significant sex differences emerged on all three scales, with women having lower self-esteem than men, being more compliant, and using different coping strategies when confronted with a stressful situation. The sex difference in compliance was mediated by differences in self-esteem between men and women.

Cvd Mortality

Sex differences in cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality have been attributed to differences in pathophysiology between men and women and to disparities in CVD management that disproportionately affect women compared to men. Similarly, there has been investigation of differences in the prevalence and presentation of insomnia attributable to sex. Few studies have examined how sex and insomnia interact to influence CVD outcomes, however. In this review, we summarize the literature on sex-specific differences in the prevalence and presentation of insomnia as well as existing research regarding the relationship between insomnia and CVD outcomes as it pertains to sex. Research to date indicate that women are more likely to have insomnia than men, and there appear to be differential associations in the relation between insomnia and CVD by sex. We posit potential mechanisms of the relationship between sex, insomnia and CVD, discuss gaps in the existing literature, and provide commentary on future research needed in this area. Unraveling the complex relations between sex, insomnia, and CVD may help to explain sex-specific differences in CVD, and identify sex-specific strategies for promotion of cardiovascular health. Throughout this review, terms “men” and “women” are used as they are in the source literature, which does not differentiate between sex and gender. The implications of this are also discussed.

Existing Data

Previous research suggests that there should be a negative correlation between Machiavellianism (Mach) and willingness to reveal things about oneself. However, existing data are unclear and contradictory, especially regarding differences between males and females. College students (48 male, 77 female) completed measures of both Machiavellianism and self-disclosure, and the two sets of scores were correlated. As expected, Mach was significantly correlated with unwillingness to self-disclose among males. For the females, however, Mach was significantly correlated with willingness to disclose. The two correlations are significantly different. Culturally defined differences in the goals of men and women may account for the results. According to current stereotypes, men are oriented toward individual achievement, while die goals of women are more “social,” being popular, nurturant, skilled at getting along with others, etc. Women who accept these goals and who are willing to employ manipulative (Machiavellian) tactics to achieve them could use self-disclosure effectively, while it would be an ineffective strategy for men.

Abstract Extension activities cannot be separated from the participation of farmers as objects. The success of the extension can be seen from the extent to which farmers apply what they get to the farm they manage and the extent to which the production results obtained from their farming. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between farmer participation in extension activities and maize production levels in South Sulawesi. This research was conducted in South Sulawesi Province, Jeneponto Regency and Gowa Regency. The data collected is primary data obtained from 40 corn farmers taken from 2 farmer groups. The data used are respondent characteristics, technology characteristics, farmer participation variables. Data analysis using descriptive analysis and Chi Square data analysis using SPSS program. Based on the results of the study, it was found that 58.1 percent of farmer characteristics had an effect on the level of corn production and there was a significant relationship between farmer participation in extension and corn production.

Abstract Physical exertion leads to the rise in tear osmolarity. However, previous studies have been conducted mostly on males and did not consider sex differences and the possible alteration in blinking during physical exercise. Sixteen women and 18 men aged 25.09 ± 1.70 were divided into equal groups with eyes open and shut. Participants performed 8-min medium-intensity exercise and 5-min intense exercise on a cycloergometer. Tear osmolarity (in mOsm/L) was evaluated before ( T0), after medium-intensity (T1) and intense exercise (T2). The blinking rate was assessed in a group with eyes open. Tear brake up time was measured in T0 and T1. With tear osmolarity measuring 305.72 ± 1.22 and 313.56 ± 1.90 for men and women, respectively, we observed significant differences in T1. In T2, tear osmolarity in men was 303.3 ± 1.28 vs. 310.87 ± 1.36 in women. The blinking rate decreased from 14.24 ± 2.54/min in T0 to 9.41 ± 2.83/min in T1. There was a statistically significant change in tear osmolarity in both groups, that is, in the group with eyes shut from 300.53 ± 1.37 in T0 to 308.06 ± 1.55 in T1 to 304.88 ± 1.54 in T2. In the group with eyes open, tear osmolarity increased from 300.29 ± 1.37 in T0 to 310.76 ± 1.55 in T1 and then dropped to 308.88 ± 1.54 in T2. Tear brake up time measured in T0 was 14.7 ± 1.43 vs. 13.53 ±1.48 in the open eyes condition. Due to physical exercise, short-term changes in tear osmolarity are partially caused by altered blinking. Sex differences in tear osmolarity in response to exertion may confirm the relationship between total body water and tear osmolarity.

The Relationship

Horowitz, et al.‘s Inventory of Interpersonal Problems and Bond, et al.'s Defensive Style Questionnaire were completed by 42 women and 35 men. Significant correlations emerged between most interpersonal problems and the tendency for both men and women to use immature and intermediate defense mechanisms in both work and intimate relationships. However, women were more likely than men to employ immature defenses when dealing with issues of “control” in intimate relationships while men were more likely to employ intermediate defenses in response to problems with “intimacy” in work relationships. Data support further inquiry into sex differences in interpersonal problems and defensive style.

The Relationship

A sample of 694 college students was used to test for differences in preferences for particular methods of self-destruction for men and women. Significant differences were found for six of nine methods. Cultural evaluations of suicide methods, particularly firearms and drugs-poison, varied by sex and suicide. Women associated painlessness and efficiency with drugs-poison; men associated masculinity, efficiency and being knowledgeable of the method with firearms. These findings support previous theorizing on the relationship between sex, sociocultural patterns and methods of self-destruction. Implications for clinical evaluations of female attempters regarding their intent to suicide may be underestimated if females report they are considering drugs-poison.

Abstract: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a world health problem where the incidence continues to increase, has a poor prognosis and high-level financing. Clinical manifestations of the oral cavity can occur in CKD patients with hemodialysis therapy due to a decrease in the immune system. To analyze the descriptively the clinical manifestations of oral cavity in CKD patients with hemodialysis therapy at RSUD Ulin Banjarmasin South Kalimantan, period January-March 2019. This is a descriptive analysis with a cross sectional study design, based on history and clinical examination of the oral cavity. Data was entered and analyzed using chi square test. Sampling by purposive sampling. there is a relationship between uremic odor and duration of hemodialysis (p = 0.017). There was a relationship between xerostomia and gender (p = 0.035) and there was a relationship between xerostomia and the duration of hemodialysis (p = 0.007). There is a relationship between gingival swelling and age (p = 0.010) and there is a relationship between gingival swelling and diabetes mellitus (p = 0,000). Manifestations found in the oral cavity of CKD patients with hemodialysis therapy are uremic odor, mouthache, xerostomia, mucosal lesions, candidiasis, and gingival swelling. There is a relationship between sex with xerostomia, the relationship between age with gingival swelling, the relationship between the duration of hemodialysis with uremic odor and xerostomia, the association between DM with gingival swelling.
