Not just junk science from Huffiest, offal science. In an essay from the highly learned medical journal, a recent socio-political pronouncement was delivered that any questions about Hillary's health are sexist and misogynistic. Much of the essay is devoted to Trump-bashing (what a surprise!) while the rest of the article lumps in modern science with ancient, truly sexist medical views. The classic example is the idea behind "hysteria", said to be a disorder confined to women said to be caused by a "floating" uterus". Even though the anatomical basis for such poppycock was disproven as far back as Galen and Vesalius, that stupid notion hung around for 2000 years. Hat tip to Ms. Grin for this citation.

The implied idea in the HuffPost essay, if I may be so gracious to call it that, is that "anybody who claims Hillary has ANY medical defect is a misogynistic pig not worthy of further consideration". This is a favorite HillBot meme, that all Clinton-denouncers are possessed of deep hatred for womankind, as if Medusa were a role model for femininity and mothering. Think upon those hundreds of thousands of Middle East mothers who were deprived of their families, and often their own lives, by "motherly" Hillary.

So are women immune to the following medical issues:
1. concussion (mTBI)
2. post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE)
3. post-concussion syndrome (PCS)
4. dural sinus thrombosis (DST)?
5. Parkinson Disease (PD), which by the way I do not contend is one of the maladies affecting her brain.

Previous essays by me have bombarded c99'ers with probably more medical facts than you ever wished to know. So in the interest of brevity, which is really insufficient to do justice to any of the top 4 illnesses elucidated, I will simply post briefly an analysis of gender ratios in the epidemiology of those diseases.

Note: I do not like Hillary Clinton--statement of bias. However, all the medical citations are from peer-revised medical journals having nothing to do with political thought. Once again, feel free to check these articles out for yourselves. That's why they are clearly cited. If you have a criticism, please: no PC, sexism, or Wikipedia. I'm happy to discuss medical facts.

1. mTBI: there was equal incidence of post-mTBI brain injury among females as among males in this study of post-traumatic cortical thickness

2. PTE: although not a direct connection to PTE this article points to greater structural damage of the brain in female athletes:

Compared with their male counterparts, female athletes appear to be at greater risk of sustaining a concussion and they exhibit a higher number of symptoms in the acute phase and typically require a longer recovery time.

One more thing about PTE: Subclinical seizures

More recent data have emphasized the incidence of subclinical (nonconvulsive) seizures after TBI that, although not routinely documented in the human population, can be recorded using monitoring procedures, including long-term electroencephalography surface recordings. Investigators have described a high incidence of subclinical seizures that appear in patients at variable periods after TBI.

3. PCS: Predictors of PCS worse in women

The mean age of the subjects was 35 years, and 65% were men. Physical symptoms were the most prevalent in the 3 days to 10 days postinjury with most declining thereafter to baseline levels. Emotional and cognitive symptoms were less prevalent but more likely to remain elevated at 3 months; 41.8% of subjects reported PCS at 3 months. The strongest individual symptoms that predicted long-term PCS included anxiety, noise sensitivity (NS), and trouble thinking; reported by 49%, 27%, and 31% of the subjects at 3 days to 10 days, respectively. In multivariate regressions including age, gender, and early symptoms, only anxiety, NS and gender remained significant in the prediction of PCS. Interactions revealed that the effect of anxiety was seen primarily among women. NS had an odds ratio of 3.1 for PCS at 3 months.
CONCLUSIONS:
After MTBI, anxiety among women and NS are important predictors of PCS. Other physical symptoms, while more prevalent are poor predictors of PCS.

4. DST: gender differences
in DST: 50 of 59 patients in this study were female, which is an incidence of 85%.

Two points must be made.
A. I found no evidence in extensive medical literature search about the incidence of PTE according to gender. Thus there were no articles stating that the incidence of PTE was any greater or any less in females compared to males.

B. Reminiscent of my claim that HRC has post traumatic epilepsy, please note the information about non-convulsive epilepsy (NCE). By definition, NCE does not look like a typical motor seizure and indeed can only be diagnosed in some cases by video-telemetry. But NCE may have observable consequences, the most common of which is speech arrest. Another manifestation is abruptly changing the topic of conversation. Of course either phenomenon may be seen in non-epileptic settings.

How disprove post-traumatic non-convulsive epilepsy: either prolonged or repetitive EEG monitoring.

So let's get back to that Sexism-Misogyny garbage being spewed by the HillBots. It is just garbage. To use antiquated and discarded medical theories (e.g., hysteria) as your one and only pretext for labelling doubters of Hillary's health is pretty lame.
