Considerations of the impacts of Covid-19 on domestic violence in the United States
"Stay home, save lives" has been shown to reduce the impacts of COVID-19; however, it is crucial to recognize that efforts not to stress healthcare systems may have unintended social consequences for domestic violence. This commentary addresses domestic violence as an important social and public health implication of COVID-19. As a pandemic with a high contagion level, necessary social distancing measures have been put in place across the world t…
Manual for a Better Medicine
One of the many achievements of Kate Brown's remarkable new book is to relocate the Chernobyl disaster and its official medicine internationally, but Manual for Survival also certainly illuminates the particularities of Soviet and post-Soviet medicine. The Soviet Union had a penchant for secret medicine with regard to radiation. Brown's readers learn early of Angelina Gus ́kova, who was the first expert in Moscow to be called by the accident-stri…
Evaluating post‐Katrina recovery in Mississippi using repeat photography
Hurricane Katrina of August 2005 had extensive consequences for the state of Mississippi in the United States. Widespread infrastructure and property damage, massive social dislocation, and ecological loss remain among the many challenges faced by communities as they work towards ‘normalcy’. This study employs repeat photography to understand differential recovery from Hurricane Katrina in Mississippi. Revealing change with conventional landscape…
Reduced complexity of activity patterns in patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
BACKGROUND: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is an illness characterised by pervasive physical and mental fatigue without specific identified pathological changes. Many patients with CFS show reduced physical activity which, though quantifiable, has yielded little information to date. Nonlinear dynamic analysis of physiological data can be used to measure complexity in terms of dissimilarity within timescales and similarity across timescales. A red…
Functional Somatic Symptoms and Psychological States
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the links between functional physical symptoms and psychological states in a sample of patients with persistent medically unexplained symptoms. Despite the epidemiological evidence for links between physical symptoms and mental processes, prior diary studies have shown inconsistent associations and generally been limited to single symptom and psychological variable pairs. METHODS: Twenty-six patients with at least three …
The Labour Region in Late Stalinist Population Dynamics
Population movement in the USSR under late Stalinism was determined in part by informal labour regions, as confirmed by this study of migration to, from, and within the oblasti of Moscow, Sverdlovsk and Kuibyshev over 1945-53. Every Soviet region at the end of the war was characterized by intense pressure on available sources of labour but partly because of this distinct “labour regions” can be identified. While all three areas under analysis wer…
