6B Daily News – Thursday, April 4, 2013 FURNITURERed Bluff DEPOT 235 So. Main St., Simmons Mattress SALE Going On Now! 527-1657 MON.-FRI. 9:00-6:00 SAT. 9:00-5:00 • SUN. 11:00-5:00 Weak economic reports send stock market lower NEW YORK (AP) — Weak reports on hiring and service industries sent the stock market sharply lower Wednesday, giving the Dow Jones industrial average its worst day in more than a month. The Dow fell 111.66 points, or 0.8 percent, to 14,550.35, its worst decline since Feb. 25. The Standard & Poor's 500 index dropped 16.56 points, or 1.1 percent, to 1,553.69. Both indexes closed at record highs the day before. The stock market started Wall Street 2013 with a rally as investors became more optimistic about the U.S. economy, especially housing and jobs. The reports Wednesday disappointed the market and came two days after news that U.S. manufacturing growth slowed unexpectedly last month. The losses were widespread. All 10 industry groups in the S&P 500 index fell. Banks and ener- gy stocks had the worst losses, 1.7 percent and 1.6 percent. Utilities, which investors hold when they want to play it safe, fell the least, 0.3 percent. ''The market is overdue for a correction,'' said Joe Saluzzi at Themis Trading. ''I don't think that the economy supports this type of a rally.'' Signs of investor skittishness appeared across a number of different markets. Commodities slumped. Crude oil dropped $2.74, or 2.8 percent, to close at $94.45 a barrel and industrial metals like copper fell. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 1.81 percent from 1.86 percent, the lowest level for the benchmark rate since January. The decline means investors are moving money into low-risk U.S. government debt. The Russell 2000 index, which tracks small company stocks, fell for a third straight day, dropping 1.7 percent. It's now down 3.5 percent so far this week, far worse than the declines in the Dow, 0.2 percent, and the S&P, 1 percent. That's another signal that investors may be becoming more bearish about the U.S. economy. Small company stocks, which did better than the Dow and the S&P 500 in the first three months of the year, are more sensitive to the outlook for the U.S. economy than the larger companies in the Dow and S&P. That's because they rely far more on domestic sales than global giants like IBM and Caterpillar, which sells heavy machinery and construction equipment around the globe. The Dow Jones Transportation Average, an index of 20 stocks including airlines like Delta and freight companies FedEx and UPS, fell more than 1 percent for a third straight day. The index, which is regarded as a leading indicator for broader market indexes as well as the economy, has fallen 3.9 percent this week, after surging 17.9 percent in the first quarter. Men and women have different symptons, same problem DEAR DOCTOR K: It's obvious that there are some health problems that affect only women, and others that affect only men. But for the health problems that affect both women and men, are there differences in symptoms, Dr. K by Anthony L. Komaroff, M.D. or in reactions to treatments? DEAR READER: That's an interesting question. Perhaps surprisingly, the answer is yes. Heart disease is a good example.

The classic symptom is chest pain or pressure that travels to the left arm, jaw or neck when you exert yourself. But men are much more likely than women to have these typical symptoms. Instead, women can have shortness of breath, abdominal pain and fatigue. In addition, misleading test results for heart disease are more common for women. An angiogram is considered to be the "gold standard" for checking for blockages in the coronary arteries (the main arteries of the heart). But the test may miss important narrowings in women. That's because women are more likely to have narrowing of small coronary arteries that do not show up well with an angiogram. These narrowings could cause angina or a heart attack. There are other examples of how men and women respond differently to a disease or its treatment. Women tend to heal faster from injuries, and they recover better from strokes than men. Women also respond differently to medications; they tend to have 741 Main Street, Suite #2 Red Bluff, CA 96080 1-800-287-2187 (530) 527-2187 C & C PROPERTIES An Independently owned and operated Member of Coldwell Banker Residential Affiliates.

There are also conditions that are more common in one gender than the other: — Depression and certain autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, are more common among women. Interestingly, most autoimmune diseases in animals also are more common in the females of the species. — Sleep apnea is more common among men. The danger is that people and their doctors may dismiss the possibility of a condition when it occurs in the gender that gets it less often. And that's something that all doctors — male and female — should always bear in mind. I've learned that lesson more than once. Once a man in his late 70s called me to say he was concerned about a lump under the skin on his chest. At least 99 times out of 100, such a little lump under the skin is one of two things: a little ball of fat called a lipoma, or a plugged-up gland called a sebaceous cyst. So I knew that's what it was going to be. But when I examined his lump, it wasn't soft and squishy as I had expected. It was rock hard and was sitting in the skin right over his breast. The biopsy showed that the man had breast cancer. I knew that, on rare occasion, men could get breast cancer, but I had never seen it in a male patient of mine — before or since.
