Periodicals, newsies, and suffrage
While recent academic study focuses on the importance of periodical culture to the British women’s suffrage movement, comparatively little study focuses on the representation of periodical culture within fiction. With its emphasis on Sally’s narrative voice and plot, Gertrude Colmore’s 1911 novel Suffragette Sally foregrounds a working-class woman’s experience joining the movement and carrying out militant acts. The WSPU newspaper Votes for Women…
The impact of neighborhood socioeconomic status on retention in care and viral suppression among people living with HIV
Our study combined publicly available neighborhood socioeconomic status (nSES) data from the U.S. Census and clinical data to investigate the relationships between nSES, retention in care (RIC) and viral suppression (VS). Data from 2275 patients were extracted from 2009 to 2015 from a midwestern infectious diseases clinic. RIC was defined as patients who kept ≥ 3 visits and VS as an average viral load <200 copies/mL during their index year of stu…

The Media and Behavioral Genetics
To understand public discourse in the United States on genetic causation of behavioral disorders, we analyzed media representations of genetic research on addiction published between 1990 and 2010. We conclude first that the media simplistically represent biological bases of addiction and willpower as being mutually exclusive: behaviors are either genetically determined, or they are a choice. Second, most articles provide only cursory or no treat…
The Practical Application of Narrative Medicine at Mayo Clinic
The Experience of Addiction as Told by the Addicted
Telling the Patient's Story
A medical student's ability to present a case history is a critical skill that is difficult to teach. Case histories presented without theatrical engagement may fail to catch the attention of their intended recipients. More engaging presentations incorporate 'stage presence', eye contact, vocal inflection, interesting detail and succinct, well organised performances. They convey stories effectively without wasting time. To address the didactic ch…
