Since most dosing regimens are calibrated to the Western body, some doctors in Singapore report having to adjust quantities in up to 30% of their patients to avoid adverse side effects. "Local scientists must do their own research...
...both men and women liked blue, women tended to pick redder shades of blue - reddish-purple hues - while men preferred blue-green. To assess whether the color preferences could have been due to culture, the researchers tested 37 Han Chinese volunteers from mainland China, along with the 171 British Caucasian participants, and found the same male-female differences.

...experience relapses after surgery than post-menopausal women were. His new paper applies this theory to another apparent trend—the high mortality rates among African-American women afflicted with breast cancer.

Retsky’s controversial hypothesis linking breast cancer relapses to surgery caused a moderate stir in the scientific community at the time of its publication in the International Journal of Surgery, drawing letters...
