Tocmai ca nu este absolut nici o problema.Nu am vazut pe nimeni sa scrie ca este o problema.Sigur ca suntem diferiti si majoritatea articolelor de specialitate, din cate vad eu, arata tocmai ca exista mai multe diferente intre indivizi aceleiasi rase decat intre rase.Problema este ca se trece prea repede la spaima EXAGERATA de rasism, termen folosit adesea impropriu/neadecvat, asa cum a observat si domnul Dicu-Sava. Din cate stim rasismul propaga suprematia/superioritatea unei/unor rase asupra alteia/altora.Or a spune ca exista diferente anatomice&fiziologice nu insemna deloc superioritate ci doar o constatare stiintifica.Este gresit/deplasat sa ascunzi rezultatele stiintifice numai de teama acuzatiilor exagerate de rasism. Cineva din Romania care citeste un articol pe web despre farmacologia americana, este normal sa fie mirat cand vede diferente in tratamente/medicatie in functie de rase pentru ca in Romania nu exista asa, ori cel putin nu la acest nivel.Din cate vede oricine care traieste in US, confruntandu-se de secole cu diverse rase si diferentele anatomice&fiziologice, medicina din US a fost nevoita sa gaseasca solutiile, respectiv diversificarea farmacologica.Nu este nici vorba de rasism. Imi pare rau pentru ce scrieti in celalalt mesaj si in ce priveste Ip- ul meu vi-l pot da fara nici o problema.

This high blood pressure develops earlier in life and is associated with higher cardiovascular mortality rates.[4- 6] The well documented decline in cardiovascular mortality that has been seen in Caucasians since the 1970s has not been nearly as striking in minority, and specifically African American, populations. [7] The reason for this divergence is unclear and has been attributed by various authors to socioeconomic status, racial stress, or increased genetic susceptibility.[4,8-10]First-line therapy for the treatment of hypertension in African Americans as recommended by JNC VI includes diuretics or a low-dose combination of a diuretic and b blocker. Calcium channel antagonists are an acceptable alternative when added to previously existing diuretic monotherapy. Is Heart Failure in African Americans a Distinct Entity? Posted 09/18/2003 Robert L. Scott, MD, PhD Abstract Heart failure remains a major health problem in the United States and is particularly problematic in the African American community where the disease exhibits excessive morbidity and mortality. Hypertension is a predominant etiology for heart failure among African Americans with an aggressive incidence of end-organ damage. Despite the advances in treatment of heart failure with neurohormonal attenuation, there appears to be inconsistency in the response of African Americans compared to Caucasians. This discordance with regard to response to treatment and etiology of heart failure between African Americans and Caucasians begets the question whether heart failure in African Americans is indeed a distinct clinical entity.IntroductionMortality from heart failure is 2.5-times greater among African Americans compared to Caucasians <65 years of age.[1] African Americans develop heart failure at an earlier age and the hospitalization rates are substantially higher than those among Caucasians.[2,3] The reason for the worse morbidity and mortality in African American heart failure patients is unclear, thus begetting the question of whether heart failure in African Americans is truly a distinct clinical entity. In order to answer this question one must consider not only the etiology of heart failure but also the relative response to conventional heart failure therapy and participation in heart failure trials from which the evidence-based data are collated. http://www.newswise.com/articles/view/512360/ African-Americans More Prone to Higher Heart Weight than Whites Description Adult African-Americans have higher heart weight -- a condition that can lead to serious heart disease -- at two to three times the rates of whites, researchers from UT Southwestern Medical Center have shown. Asians and alcohol enzyme http://www.annals.org/cgi/content/full/127/5/376 http://www.dpna.org/drugresearch/drunkmonkeys.htm Asian descent Some people of Asian descent have more difficulty metabolizing alcohol. They may experience facial flushing, nausea, headache, dizziness and rapid heartbeat. It appears that one of the liver enzymes that is needed to process alcohol is not active in these individuals. It is estimated that up to 50% of Asians are susceptible to these reactions to alcohol. http://www.brown.edu/Student_Services/Health_Services/Health_Education /atod/alc_aayb.htm Asians and Alzheimer Disease http://www.mercola.com/2004/jul/7/alzheimers_lifestyle.htm Ethnic Differences in AD Prevalence It is noteworthy that African Americans have the highest AD rate of any ethnic group in the United States 108,118 while Japanese Americans have the lowest 26,119. This result is probably a combination of both genetic and dietary factors. African Americans have a higher frequency of APOE e4 than European Americans, who, in turn, have a higher frequency than Asians. In addition, there are very likely ethnic differences in diet, with Asian Americans eating less total energy and animal products and more vegetable products than European Americans. Black Americans may eat more convenience foods and fewer fruits and vegetables than European Americans 120, 121. A predisposing gene combined with poor diet is the worst combination in terms of risk for AD. Black and White Athlets: http://run-down.com/guests/je_black_athletes_p1.php Since the first known study of differences between blacks and white athletes in 1928, the data have been remarkably consistent: in most sports, African-descended athletes have the capacity to do better with their raw skills than whites. Blacks with a West African ancestry generally have: relatively less subcutaneous fat on arms and legs and proportionately more lean body and muscle mass, broader shoulders, larger quadriceps, and bigger, more developed musculature in general; denser, shallower chests; higher center of gravity, generally shorter sitting height, narrower hips, and lighter calves; longer arm span and "distal elongation of segments" - the hand is relatively longer than the forearm, which in turn is relatively longer than the upper arm; the foot is relatively longer than the tibia (leg), which is relatively longer than the thigh; faster patellar tendon reflex; greater body density, which is likely due to higher bone mineral density and heavier bone mass at all stages in life, including infancy (despite evidence of lower calcium intake and a higher prevalence of lactose intolerance, which prevents consumption of dairy products); modestly, but significantly, higher levels of plasma testosterone (3- 19 percent), which is anabolic, theoretically contributing to greater muscle mass, lower fat, and the ability to perform at a higher level of intensity with quicker recovery; a higher percentage of fast-twitch muscles and more anaerobic enzymes, which can translate into more explosive energy. Relative advantages in these physiological and biomechanical characteristics are a gold mine for athletes who compete in such anaerobic activities as football, basketball, and sprinting, sports in which West African blacks clearly excel. However, they also pose problems for athletes who might want to compete as swimmers (heavier skeletons and smaller chest cavities could be drags on performance) or in cold-weather and endurance sports. Central West African athletes are more susceptible to fatigue than whites and East Africans, in effect making them relatively poor candidates for aerobic sports. White athletes appear to have a physique between central West Africans and East Africans. They have more endurance but less explosive running and jumping ability than West Africans; they tend to be quicker than East Africans but have less endurance. > From: "dan_d_n" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > Este o problema care nu prea se discuta tocmai pentru ca se evita > > acuzatia de "rasism".Cum mai aflu/citesc si eu din familie de la un > > medic, atunci poate ar fi interesant ca negrii au mai mult sange > > decat albii de asta pot sangera mai mult(vezi boxing) ori problemele > > cardiace de care scrieti, ca arabii nu au enzime care scindeaza > > alcoolul, ceea ce explica de ce islamul nu permite bautura(deci > > religia are legaturi cu biologicul si putem sa ne convingem de asta > > daca ne uitam cat de echilibrat este structurat calendarul crestin > > cu posturi,sarbatori,etc) ca "gooks" se imbolnavesc rar de > > alzheimer...Deci categoric exista diferente biologice. > > Daca cineva este mai documentat poate dezvolta in masura aprobarii > > unui subiect off-topic... *** sustineti [romania_eu_list] prin 1% din impozitul pe 2005 - detalii la http://www.europe.org.ro/euroatlantic_club/unulasuta.php *** Yahoo!
