Male or Female? The Answer Depends on When You Ask
A key decision in the life of an organism is whether to be male or female. In Drosophila, each cell makes this choice independently of its neighbors such that diploid cells with one X chromosome (XY) are male and those with two chromosomes (XX) are female. In classic experiments carried out more than 80 years ago, Calvin Bridges made two important conclusions about how sex is determined in flie...
متن کاملMale or Female? Brains are Intersex
The underlying assumption in popular and scientific publications on sex differences in the brain is that human brains can take one of two forms "male" or "female," and that the differences between these two forms underlie differences between men and women in personality, cognition, emotion, and behavior. Documented sex differences in brain structure are typically taken to support this dimorphic...
متن کاملInternal thoracic vein: friend or foe?
The internal thoracic vein is a conduit that has not been thoroughly investigated in literature as long term patency and outcomes are unknown. We present a case where the right internal thoracic vein (RITV) was used to extend a short right internal thoracic artery (RITA). The elongated composite conduit was then anastomosed to the right coronary artery (RCA). A 61-year-old male patient was refe...

متن کاملTo skeletonize the internal thoracic artery or not? Is that the question?
The internal thoracic artery (ITA) is the preferred conduit for surgical coronary artery revascularization because of superior long-term patency rates and observational evidence of improved long-term outcomes. It is usually harvested with a pedicle of surrounding tissue, presumably not to disrupt its viability and blood supply. Resultant hypoperfusion of the sternum and an increased rate of ste...
