Summary: Women generally exhibit stronger immune responses and pathogens tend to be more virulent in men, which current explanations cannot account for. This study proposes an alternative explanation based on the transmission of pathogens from mother to child, using a mathematical model of the co-evolution of host immunocompetence and pathogen virulence.

Summary: This scoping review on sexual abuse and symptoms of somatization in women suggests a link between sexual abuse and somatic symptoms, but the association with pain and irritable bowel syndrome is inconsistent. No specific symptoms within somatization associated with sexual abuse have been clearly identified. There is a knowledge gap in qualitative research on this topic.

Summary: Sexual health concerns, both physical and psychological, are common and represent an unmet need among women with and surviving cancer. To guide clinical care and future research on sexual function in women with cancer, interventions for sexual health concerns have been reviewed, including sexual function, body image, genitourinary symptoms, and hot flashes. Relevant investigations from the US and abroad have highlighted the need for further research in this area.

Summary: A study on women with red hair found that they are correlated with certain traits related to sexual life, such as higher sexual desire, more sexual activity, and more sexual partners. However, the study showed that the higher sexual desire of redheaded women is not the cause of their more active sexual behavior. The findings suggest that the apparently more liberated sexual behavior in redheaded women could be a result of potential mates' frequent attempts to have sex with them.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate and compare the sexual satisfaction between lesbian and heterosexual cisgender women. The findings showed that lesbian women reported having orgasms during sexual relations more frequently than heterosexual women, and had a lower percentage of women reporting no or rarely having orgasms. However, lesbian women had a lower frequency of sexual intercourse compared to heterosexual women.

Summary: This review systematically identifies and evaluates current research on sexual satisfaction in heterosexual women in long-term relationships, finding that relationship satisfaction and sexual behavior frequency are the most frequently confirmed predictors. However, results regarding the effects of pornography consumption, religion, and relationship duration show the greatest inconsistency. Identified effects are believed to often result from mediator variables like sexual desire or distracting thoughts.

Summary: The study found positive effects of bibliotherapy for sexual dysfunctions, especially more significant in women. However, due to limitations in study designs and uncertainty of findings, firm conclusions about the use of bibliotherapy for sexual dysfunction could not be drawn, suggesting the need for more high-quality and larger trials to confirm the results.

Summary: The study aimed to examine the association between iron biomarkers and menopausal status and assess whether these biomarkers can help differentiate menopausal status beyond age. The results showed that iron biomarkers were significantly associated with menopausal status in both cohorts and modestly improved a model with age alone for differentiating menopause status.

The results showed that age and presence of migraine were significant predictors of incident dizziness/vertigo, and dizziness/vertigo was associated with a significant decrease in quality of life.

The results showed that premenopausal women had a more favorable prognosis, and age, postmenopausal status, and serum levels of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate were important predictors of the severity of Covid-19 in women.
