UrduDas Altern des Blutgefäßsystems ist bei Männern und Frauen unterschiedlich, ebenso wie das Tempo, in dem Atherosklerose ― die Verhärtung der Artierenwände oder die Entstehung von arteriellen Blockaden ― fortschreitet. Diese geschlechts- und altersbezogenen Unterschiede wirken sich direkt auf das Risiko von Frauen auf, eine Herzkreislauferkrankung zu entwickeln.
Hospitals with Internationally Trained Nurses Have More Stable, Educated Nursing Workforces

Researchers discover how cells clear misfolded proteins from tissues
Researchers in Japan have identified a new quality control system that allows cells to remove damaged and potentially toxic proteins from their surroundings. The study, which will be published February 18 in the Journal of Cell Biology, finds that the Clusterin protein and heparan sulfate proteoglycans combine to bring misfolded proteins into cells for degradation. The findings may lead to new therapeutic targets for neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease.
Estudo da Mayo Clinic: exame vascular precoce é essencial para reduzir o risco de doença cardíaca em mulheres
A forma em que o sistema vascular envelhece e o ritmo ao qual a aterosclerose, o enrijecimento das paredes arteriais ou o acúmulo de bloqueios arteriais, progride diferem entre homens e mulheres. Essas diferenças relacionadas ao sexo e à idade afetam diretamente o risco de desenvolver doença vascular nas mulheres.

Selon une étude de Mayo Clinic : Un dépistage vasculaire précoce permettrait de réduire le risque de maladies cardiovasculaires chez les femmes
Les hommes et les femmes diffèrent dans le vieillissement de leurs systèmes vasculaires et dans la vitesse de progression de l’athérosclérose, le durcissement des parois artérielles ou l’accumulation d’obstructions dans les artères. Ces différences liées au sexe et à l’âge impactent directement le risque qu’une femme développe une maladie cardiovasculaire.
