The surprising truth about womens hearts WHILE women are less likely to suffer heart attacks than men, once a woman suffers her first attack she is 70 per cent more likely to die from it than a man. These surprising new findings highlight the need for medical staff to be more vigilant against heart disease in women. Researchers at the Municipal Institute of Medical Research in Barcelona studied 331 women and 1129 men who had suffered their first heart attack. The researchers report in The Journal of the American Medical Association (vol 280, p 1405) that women were 72 per cent more likely to die within the first 28 days, and 73 per cent more likely to die within the first six months. We were surprised that women were so much more at risk, says Jaume Marrugat, who led the Spanish team. Marrugat notes that women were less likely to get clot-busting treatment than men, and that they generally took more time getting to hospitalproblems that may reflect the low priority doctors put on heart disease in women. Heart specialist Graham McGregor of St Georges Hospital Medical School in London also notes that women tend to be older than men at their first heart attack because they have some hormonal protection against heart disease until menopause. On average, women in the Spanish study were five years older than the men. These are important factors to consider but they cant account for the whole difference, says Marrugat. Women have more complications in the first six months and their initial heart attacks may be more severe. He speculates that narrower coronary vessels in women may be a factor. Nonetheless, heart disease remains a bigger killer of men than women. Michael Day Por que, segundo Graham McGregor, as mulheres tendem a sofrer seus primeiros ataques cardacos em idade mais avanada que os homens?

(UNICAMP - 2001 - 2 FASE) Responda a questo em portugus. As cartas abaixo foram escritas por leitores de um artigo publicado na revista Time em 04/09/2000. Leia-as e responda a questo AFTER READING YOUR ARTICLE ABOUT genetically modified foods [July 31], I am sure that the public debate about this subject is too serious to be left to organizations that rate high in theatrics but low in public education. If genetically engineered and enriched food could help starving people around the world, it would be a pity to lose this opportunity because of some well-fed protesters in silly costumes. SILVINA BEATRIZ CODINA Buenos Aires IF THE THIRD WORLD DOES NOT CURB its exploding population growth, no amount of genetically altered food will save it. Family planning that will result in fewer children will improve the standard of living far more effectively than enriched rice.

(UNICAMP - 2001 - 2 FASE) Responda a questo em portugus. O texto Some Like it Hot foi extrado da revista Popular Science (abril de 1998) Some Like It Hot WHY DO PEOPLE IN THAILAND prefer spicier food than people in Sweden? Its because spices offer some protection against the food-spoilage bacteria that thrive in hot climates, according to two biologists at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. After analyzing thousands of recipes for the traditional meat-based dishes of 36 countries, Jennifer Billing and Paul W. Sherman conclude that countries with hotter climates use spices more frequently than countries with cooler climates. And within large countries such as the United States, the hottest regions have the hottest foods: Chili is a hit in San Antonio, while chilly Boston tends toward clam clowder. A taste for spices has been passed down over many generations. In hot climates, our ancestors who enjoyed spices with their food were apt to live longer and produce more offspring, says Sherman. And they taught offspring and others: This is how to cook a mastodon. - D.S. De acordo com o texto, por que os tailandeses gostam mais de comidas condimentadas do que os suecos?

(UNICAMP - 2001 - 2 FASE) Responda a questo em portugus. Leia, abaixo, um trecho do livro East of Eden de John Steinbeck. Cathys lies were never innocent. Their purpose was to escape punishment, or work, or responsibility, and they were used for profit. Most liars are tripped up either because they forget what they have told or because the lie is suddenly faced with an incontrovertible truth. But Cathy did not forget her lies, and she developed the most effective method of lying. She stayed close enough to the truth so that one could never be sure. She knew two other methods also either to interlard her lies with truth or to tell a truth as though it were a lie. If one is accused of a lie and it turns out to be the truth, there is a backlog that will last a long time and protect a number of untruths. A que estratgias Cathy recorria para no ser desmascarada?

(UNICAMP - 2001 - 2 FASE) Responda a questo em portugus. Tan tattoos Forget about the pain of a real tattoo, says Nobuyuki Shimooka of Osaka in Japan. Why not let the sun do the job instead (EP 962 155)? Anyone who fancies a tattoo that will soon fade dons a special swimsuit which has small patterned windows cut out of the fabric. The sun shines through, leaving a pattern on the skin. To prevent sunburn, the window areas can be blocked off with fabric that could be secured using a fastening material such as Velcro. Alternatively, the inventor suggests that sunbathers could place intricately designed stickers on their bodies. Peeling them off would reveal an untanned pattern. Barry Fox New Scientist, 19/02/2000.
