Women more likely to have long COVID, different symptom profile | CIDRAP

For long COVID, females were more likely to experience the condition, with an odds ratio of 1.22 (95% confidence interval, 0.75 to 0.93). Females presented with a variety of symptoms that can include ear, nose, and throat problems and mood disorders, as well as neurological, skin, gastrointestinal and rheumatologic, and fatigue symptoms. In contrast, male patients were significantly more likely to experience endocrinological disorders such as diabetes and kidney disease.

Differences in immune function could drive sex differences in long COVID, the team wrote, noting that women mount a more robust and rapid response, which helps with initial infection but might increase vulnerability to prolonged autoimmune-related diseases.

Understudied long-term consequences

Sex differences in outcomes have been reported during earlier coronavirus outbreaks, so the differences the current study suggests aren’t surprising, the group noted. However, they said that most studies don’t report granular data by sex, which provides insights that might impact treatment.

They urged researchers to share disaggregated data, even if it wasn’t part of the trial’s primary focus, so that other groups can explore differences between the sexes.

President Joe Biden announced Tuesday that he plans to appoint Marilynn “Lynn” Malerba, the chief of the Mohegan Tribe, as the next U.S. treasurer.

As the treasurer, she would oversee the U.S. Mint, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and Fort Knox, and would work with the Federal Reserve. Her signature, along with that of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, will appear on the front face of a U.S. paper currency.

The Week’s Best Cartoons 6/18

Filosofa's Word

Yet another week and more of the best political ‘toons from our friend TokyoSand over at Political Charge.

Thank you, TS, for all your hard work!

Below is a small sample … be sure to head over to TokyoSand’s place to see … the rest of the story!

See all the ‘toons at Political Charge!!!

One Thought …

The treatment of the election worker and her mother is as shameful as it gets. Hope some good attorneys volunteer to help her and her mother sue Trump for defamation.

Filosofa's Word

I watched today’s January 6th Committee hearing in its entirety and … phew.  As I folded a load of towels after watching the last bit of it, the only thing I could think of was that if what was done to some of these election officials is considered ‘okay’, then democracy is dead in the United States of ‘America’.  If some 30% or more of the people in this nation believe that it’s okay to threaten a Secretary of State because he refused to change the votes of the people, if they believe it is okay to harass not only the election officials, but their parents, spouses, children and grandchildren … then folks, we are not“… one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Efeito Manada em Psicologia das Multidões

MELKBERG

Você está num lugar desconhecido e precisa escolher entre três restaurantes para jantar. Dois estão com poucas pessoas, já no terceiro há uma fila de espera. Qual você escolhe? Se preferir o último acreditando que é a melhor opção, você pode ser vítima do efeito manada. Com isso outras pessoas também imitam a sua atitude imaginando a mesma coisa e assim, a fila não para de crescer. Talvez os outros restaurantes sejam tão bons quanto o terceiro, mas a decisão da primeira pessoa acaba determinando o sucesso e o fracasso dos estabelecimentos

Psicologia das Massas

A psicologia das massas ou psicologia das multidões é um ramo da psicologia social que propõe várias teorias e estuda as características do comportamento de indivíduos dentro de multidões, sendo de extrema importância para entender a nós mesmos individualmente. Um exemplo bem atual e problemático é o compartilhamento das fake news que promovem reações…

Justice Department Secures Groundbreaking Settlement Agreement with Meta Platforms, Formerly Known as Facebook, to Resolve Allegations of Discriminatory Advertising | OPA | Department of Justice

Under the settlement, Meta will stop using an advertising tool for housing ads (known as the “Special Ad Audience” tool) that, according to the department’s complaint, relies on a discriminatory algorithm. Meta also will develop a new system to address racial and other disparities caused by its use of personalization algorithms in its ad delivery system for housing ads. That system will be subject to Department of Justice approval and court oversight.

This settlement marks the first time that Meta will be subject to court oversight for its ad targeting and delivery system.
