Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue delves into the evolving field of gender medicine, emphasizing the critical importance of understanding how gender differences influence health and disease. Gender medicine examines the distinct biological and physiological variances between sexes and how these differences impact diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies. We hope to receive articles on the topics of sex-specific healthcare, reproductive health, transgender healthcare, gender differences in mental health, pharmacology and therapeutics, preventive medicine, and intersectionality in medicine.
By compiling current knowledge and identifying future directions, this Special Issue aims to enhance understanding and spur further research in gender medicine. It seeks to bridge gaps in knowledge, promote health equity, and ultimately improve healthcare outcomes for all genders through targeted, evidence-based medical practices.
Dr. Laura Franza
Guest Editor
