Whereas research supports the existence of a single posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) phenotype across women and men, there may be important gender differences in the pathophysiology of, or mechanisms underlying, the disorder. This paper reviews recent literature on gender differences in emotional, cognitive, and neurobiological factors, and their relations with PTSD and relevant comorbidities. Key findings and limitations from both human and animal studies are discussed. Overall, more work is needed that utilizes objective measures in addition to self-report. Studies explicitly examining gender differences and those examining mechanisms within single-gender samples each have the potential to improve our understanding of gender discrepancies in PTSD and inform tailored interventions for women and men.

Purpose: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) could contribute to the specific atherosclerosis profile observed in premature coronary artery disease (pCAD) characterized by accelerated plaque burden (calcified and non-calcified), high risk plaque features (HRP) and ischemic recurrence. Our aims were to describe EAT volume and density in pCAD compared to asymptomatic individuals matched on CV risk factors and to study their relationship with coronary plaque severity extension and vulnerability.
Materials And Methods: 208 patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) were analyzed.

Background: Soft tissue specifications and facial values vary depending on the underlying skeletal structures. To achieve the ideal treatment result and patient satisfaction, one must know the attractive soft tissue specifications compatible with each type of malocclusion. This study aims to analyze the facial measurements that contribute to perceived facial attractiveness in patients with vertical growth patterns and skeletal class I malocclusion, focusing on gender-specific differences.

Background And Purpose: Vestibular migraine (VM) is a common clinical disorder with a genetic predisposition characterized by recurrent episodes of dizziness/vertigo. Patients often complain of the presence of cognitive dysfunction manifestations such as memory loss, which causes great distress in daily life. In this study, we will explore the characteristics and possible risk factors of VM-related cognitive dysfunction by observing the cognitive function and vestibular function status of VM patients, laying the foundation for further exploration of the mechanisms of VM-related cognitive dysfunction.
