Female population

In species such as flatfishes, females may grow more rapidly than males and ultimately reach much larger sizes. For them, produciag all-female populations for grow out might be beneficial.

The women were randomized to receive either tamoxifen (6681) or placebo (6707) for 5 years. However, the trial was stopped prematurely because the findings provided strong evidence of a reduction in breast cancer with tamoxifen therapy. The results have been released and made available at http //cancertrials.nci.nih.gov. These are the first available data supporting the hypothesis that breast cancer can be pharmacologically prevented in an at-risk female population. The administration of tamoxifen was effective in reducing by 69% the annual rate of ER(+) tumors, both invasive and in situ, but was ineffective in reducing the occurrence of ER(-) neoplasias (Young 1999).

Ovarian cysts Ovarian cysts have been found by palpation in about 4% of multiple sclerosis patients treated with baclofen for up to 1 year. In most cases, these cysts disappeared spontaneously while patients continued to receive the drug. Ovarian cysts are estimated to occur spontaneously in about 1% to 5% of the normal female population. 

While more studies are needed of medication differences in male and female populations, these differential male/female ratios also appear to apply to speciality mental health settings. For example, Kaplan and Bus-ner (1997) surveyed children and youth across a number of state, county, and private settings, and found that 65%, 63%, and 61% of state, county, and private medicated samples were male (respectively), in comparison to the 30%, 38%, and 33% of the nonmedi-cated population that was male. 

There has been a general trend towards an increase in women s participation in the paid labor force after the Second World War. In many industrialized countries the proportion of economically active women in the total female population is nowadays over 40 %. In the future, the growth of the female labor force has been predicted to continue.

Each chamber was infested before treatment with a population of 750 Blattella germanica consisting of 250 nymphs of mixed age, 250 adult males, and 250 adult females. Populations were sampled monthly with monitoring traps made from baby food jars baited with bread soaked in beer. These escape proof jars were placed in the chambers for a period of 24 hours once per month. Trapped cockroaches were counted as male, female, gravid female, adults showing juvenoid effects, large and small nymphs. 

Human papillomaviruses (HPV) comprise a genus in the species Papovaviridae, which consist of small, naked icosahedral viruses containing circular dsDNA. HPV types 16 and 18 infect squamous epithelium of the genitalia and may infect as many as 45% of the female population in developed countries (1). 

Flatworms may reproduce in several ways. Some divide asexually by fission, producing two identical offspring. Other species have all-female populations whose eggs develop without fertilization. However, most types of flatworms reproduce sexually. Individual flatworms are hermaphroditic, having both male and female reproductive organs. To cross-fertilize their gametes, two worms copulate, each donating sperm to the other. 

At any one time in the US 38% of the entire female population and 24% of the male population report that they are trying to lose weight (Kruger et al. 2004). Most of these people are not clinically obese only 27% have a BMI greater than 30 whereas 36% of dieters have a BMI below 26 (Levy and Heaton 1993). These latter individuals, who have absolutely no medical need to lose weight, are trying to achieve some idealised body shape and size. As Hilda Bruch pithily put it some 50 years ago In our society slenderness is next godliness (Bruch 1957). Her aphorism remains as true today as it was when first expressed.
