Germline genomic testing to assess the suitability of stem cell donors in the treatment of haematological malignancy
The increasing integration of genomic medicine into routine medical care brings to light issues of complexity and uncertainty in the interpretation of genetic variation. We describe a fictional case study based on our experiences in the haematological malignancy setting to illustrate the complexities in using genomic testing to evaluate the suitability of relatives to act as stem cell donors. In particular, we demonstrate the ethical issues arisi…
‘A good decision is the one that feels right for me’
INTRODUCTION: Patient decision aids (PtDA) complement shared decision-making with healthcare professionals and improve decision quality. However, PtDA often lack theoretical underpinning. We are codesigning a PtDA to help people with increased genetic cancer risks manage choices. The aim of an innovative workshop described here was to engage with the people who will use the PtDA regarding the theoretical underpinning and logic model outlining our…
Living Film Histories
The Bill Douglas Cinema Museum at the University of Exeter is both a public museum and a research and teaching resource originally based on the collection put together by film-maker Bill Douglas and his friend Peter Jewell. Augmented constantly with new donations, it now holds over 85,000 items. In this article we will demonstrate how the range and depth of the museum’s collections on moving image history create a ‘people’s history’ of the medium…
B’ for Blane and ‘B’ for budget
‘She’s shrewd and aggressive without being too tough. She’s beguiling as well as resourceful. The character whips up a taste for ensuing adventures.’1 Such was Variety’s glowing assessment of the new Warner Bros. heroine when, leaping from a taxi to pursue a train and jumping aboard it to track her quarry and nail her story, Torchy Blane first burst onto the screen. The film in which this occurs, Smart Blonde (Frank McDonald,1937), introduces the…
Looking for Lela Simone
Despite her contribution to some of classical Hollywood’s most renowned musicals, the largely unknown Lela Simone exemplifies one of Hollywood’s ‘anonymous movie workers’ (Leo Rosten) working in the shadows of film history. As music co-ordinator for MGM’s Arthur Freed Unit (1944–1957), Simone’s exacting technical supervision of sound and music recording and post-production ensured films such as The Pirate (1948), On the Town (1949), An American i…
Drug breakthrough offers hope to arthritis sufferers
BACKGROUND: Newspaper stories can impact behaviours, particularly in relation to research participation. It is therefore important to understand the narratives presented and ways in which these are received. Some work to date assumes journalism transmits existing medical knowledge to a passive audience. This study aimed to explore how newspaper articles present stories about medical research and how people interpret and use them. DESIGN: Qualitat…
A cost analysis of a cancer genetic service model in the UK
Technological advances in DNA sequencing have made gene testing fast and more affordable. Evidence of effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of genetic service models is essential for the successful translation of sequencing improvements for patient benefit, but remain sparse in the genetics literature. In particular, there is a lack of detailed cost data related to genetic services. A detailed micro-costing of 28 possible pathways relating to brea…

These essays trace the femme fatale across literature, visual culture and cinema, exploring the ways in which fatal femininity has been imagined in different cultural contexts and historical epochs, a
Hollywood Heroines
The endangered and dangerous female figures of "Rebecca", of "Jagged Edge" and "What Lies Beneath" have a deserved and endures fascination. Helen Hanson re-examines these gothic heroines of Hollywood and their meanings, in two of Hollywood's key generic cycles, film noir and the female gothic film. Starting at the beginning, with the origin of these cycles and the ways in which they represented women in the American film industry and culture of t…
