"Endearing" is the wrong word. What that story is trying to convey is, unlike the feckless vegan snowflake liberals who are scared of guns and American values, she's capable of making the tough decisions needed to be seen as a good leader in a conservative hierarchy.

Hospitalized women are less likely to die or be readmitted to the hospital if they are treated by female doctors, a study published Monday in the Annals of Internal Medicine found.

In the study of people ages 65 and older, 8.15% of women treated by female physicians died within 30 days, compared with 8.38% of women treated by male physicians.

Although the difference between the two groups seems small, the researchers say erasing the gap could save 5,000 womens lives each year.

The study included nearly 800,000 male and female patients hospitalized from 2016 through 2019. All patients were covered by Medicare. For male hospitalized patients, the gender of the doctor didnt appear to have an effect on risk of death or hospital readmission.

The data alone doesnt explain why women fare better when treated by other women. But other studies suggest that women are less likely to experience miscommunication, misunderstanding and bias when treated by female doctors, said lead study author Dr. Atsushi Miyawaki, a senior assistant professor of health services research at the University of Tokyo Graduate School of Medicine.

The new research is part of a growing field of study examining why women and minorities tend to receive worse medical care than men and white patients. For example, women and minority patients are up to 30% more likely to be misdiagnosed than white men.

Our pain and our symptoms are often dismissed, said Dr. Megan Ranney, dean of the Yale School of Public Health. It may be that women physicians are more aware of that and are more empathetic.

Research shows that women are less likely than men to receive intensive care but more likely to report having negative experiences with health care, having their concerns dismissed, and having their heart or pain symptoms ignored, the authors wrote in the new study. Male physicians are also more likely than female doctors to underestimate womens risk of stroke.

Part of the problem, Miyawaki said, is that medical students get limited training in womens health issues.

Dr. Ronald Wyatt, who is Black, said his 27-year-old daughter recently had trouble getting an accurate diagnosis for her shortness of breath. An emergency room physician told her the problem was caused by asthma. It took two more trips to the emergency room for his daughter to learn that she actually had a blood clot in her lungs, a potentially life-threatening situation.

There is a tendency for doctors to harbor sexist stereotypes about women, regardless of age, such as the notion that womens symptoms are more emotional or their pain is less severe or more psychological in origin, said Wyatt, former chief science and chief medical officer at the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine, a nonprofit research and advocacy group.

Women seem to experience fewer of these problems when treated by other women.

For example, a study published JAMA Surgery in 2021 found that women patients developed fewer complications if their surgeon was female. Another JAMA Surgery study published in 2023 found all patients had fewer complications and shorter hospital stays if they were operated on by female surgeons, who worked more slowly than their male counterparts.

Women primary care doctors also tend to spend more time with their patients, Ranney said. Although that extra attention is great for patients, it also means that women see fewer patients per day and earn less, on average, than male doctors.

Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, said several studies suggest that female doctors follow medical evidence and guidelines, and that their patients have better outcomes.

Theres lots of variation between women and men physicians, said Jha, who was not involved in the new study. Women tend to be better at communication, listening to patients, speaking openly. Patients report that communication is better. You put these things together, and you can understand why there are small but important differences.

Location: Karachi

Event: Report of a threat to high-end hotels

The U.S. Consulate General Karachi has received a report of a threat of terrorist attacks targeted at high-end hotels in Karachi. In response to such threats, the U.S. Embassy and Consulates sometimes place areas such as tourist attractions, hotels, markets, shopping malls and restaurants off-limits to official U.S. government personnel.

High-end hotels in Karachi are temporarily off-limits to official U.S. government personnel.

Vote for Trump who will bring back the Sun.

At 2:41 pm on Aug. 21, 2017 the greater Columbia area experienced the longest period of totality of any city on the East Coast, slightly more than 2 minutes and 30 seconds of total darkness.

More than two-thirds of the animals exhibited changed behavior.

Gorillas: Marched all together to be let in for the evening and were kind of perplexed, like Why arent you letting us in? Hartstone-Rose said.

Flamingos: All of the adults gathered around the perimeter and clumped around the juveniles and the babies, he said.

Giraffes: Some of the zoo's herd began running around their enclosure, only calming down when the sun came back.

Bears: Couldn't care less. One of them lifted his head during the eclipse, but they basically couldnt be bothered to react, he said.

Galapagos tortoises: The Riverbanks zoo has a group of 35 of the slow-moving giants which can reach 900 pounds and live for more than 150 years. During the peak of the eclipse, they started breeding.

For 2024, Hartstone-Rose is scaling up animal observations across the country. There will be studies at multiple zoos in the path of the totality, which will allow a larger number of animals to be observed. Hell be stationed at Texas' Fort Worth Zoo.

Given what they found with the tortoises, hes curious to see what the bonobos will do.

Theyre very sexual animals, he said. When they get stressed out, their reaction is to have sex. Im very curious to see if they react by mating."

The latest issue of Defense Intelligence Agencys comic book series illustrates how DIAs experts work to stay ahead of rapidly changing global technology, maintaining the nations defense intelligence advantage.

The comic books provide DIA with a fun, accessible method to help tell the agencys story to audiences young and old, said Myles Scrinopskie, graphic design and web operations team chief for DIAs Office of Corporate Communications.

This is just a terrific initiative for reaching young Americans in particular, Scrinopskie said. What an appealing way to let the public know about the importance of good intelligence for national defense and the many impressive capabilities DIA brings to the fight.

DIA produces the comic books to share at public events and conferences, where people who may be unfamiliar with the agency can learn about DIA functions. DIA launched the series in 2019.

The latest issue centers on a vignette wherein DIA intelligence ensures an effective defense against the killer robots of Badlandia. The first issue focused on the value of foundational military intelligence. Both issues are available here: DIA Comics.

Future issues will focus on further capabilities DIA employs to achieve its mission to provide intelligence on foreign militaries to prevent and win wars.
