First-generation Nigerian mothers living in the UK and their experience of postnatal depression: An interpretative phenomenological analysis
The study provides evidence about the difficulties encountered by FGNMs in relation to PND, including socio-cultural factors, neglect from family and healthcare professionals, and self-reliance as a coping strategy. Contrary to reports suggesting that Black ethnic groups do not seek help for their mental health needs, participants' accounts indicated that their attempts to engage with professionals were met with unsatisfactory responses. The find…
Self-Isolation and Quarantine during the UK’s First Wave of Covid-19. A Mixed-Methods Study of Non-Adherence
Self-isolation and quarantine measures were introduced by the UK Government on 12 March 2020 as part of the 'delay' phase to control the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Non-adherence to self-isolation for 7 days after the development of symptoms is considered suboptimal and little is known about adherence to quarantine for 14 days if a co-habitant developed symptoms. This study aims to analyse non-adherence behaviours to self-isolation and quarantine measu…
Factors associated with non-adherence to social distancing rules during the Covid-19 pandemic: A logistic regression analysis
Non-adherence to all SD rules had a stronger association with vulnerability to COVID-19 and control over SD, whereas intentional non-adherence had a stronger association with intention and anti-social psychological factors. It is recommended that people living in high-risk environments, such as those living in houses of multiple occupancy, should be specially supported when asked to stay at home, and public health messaging should emphasise share…
Oestrogen receptors and breast cancer: Are we prepared to move forward? A critical review
Factors influencing oncologists’ prescribing hormonal therapy in women with breast cancer: A qualitative study in Córdoba, Argentina
Addressing prescribing practices for hormonal therapy as a distinct type of breast cancer treatment (chronic care) is fundamental in the understanding of breast cancer care and can shed light on inequalities in treatments. Identifying the underlying care gaps in the prescription of hormonal therapy can help in the design of tailored interventions
Controlling female cancer in Argentina: Divergent initiatives and the road to fragmentation
This article analyses the organisation of cancer control in Argentina, with a special focus on the initiatives, institutions, and models that targeted female or gynaecological cancers. It identifies and examines the main factors in the process of elaborating a national policy to control the disease drawing on a series of actors and instruments such as the state, medical professionals, institutions and services, and the use of technology (notably …

Diego Armus, The Ailing City: Health, Tuberculosis, and Culture in Buenos Aires, 1870-1950
Originally published in Spanish, The Ailing City offers in its English translation a more coherent arrangement of chapters that better highlights the two main themes of the book: the interface of medicine and culture.1 The history of tuberculosis appears as a phenomenon that interacts with another one, the development of Buenos Aires as a modern city. Drawing on both processes allows Diego Armus to reveal the concomitant tensions during the 80 ye…

Migrating techniques, multiplying diagnoses: The contribution of Argentina and Brazil to early 'detection policy' in cervical cancer
This article on the early detection of cervical cancer focuses on the development of two leading diagnostic techniques - colposcopy and the Pap smear test - and their histories in Argentina and Brazil. It explores how diagnostic tools were transferred between Europe and the Americas, while examining the intersection of cultural and medical aspects and the processes of adaptation and resignification in the receiving countries. Colposcopy received …
Curar, Sanar y Educar. Enfermedad y Sociedad en Mexico, Siglos XIX y XX
This volume of essays had its origin in a research seminar convened by Claudia Agostoni on the ‘Social and Cultural History of Health in Mexico, XVIIIth–XXth centuries’ held at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, and in an international colloquium on the same topic in 2006. The 11 chapters, whose authors include scholars who have previously made significant contributions to the history of health in Latin-America, are organised into three…
Biotypology, Endocrinology, and Sterilization: The Practice of Eugenics in the Treatment of Argentinian Women during the 1930s
This article looks at medical approaches to women's fertility in Argentina in the 1930s and explores the ways in which eugenics encouraged the reproduction of the fit and attempted to avoid the reproduction of the unfit. The analysis concentrates on three main aspects: biotypology (the scientific classification of bodies), endocrine therapy, and sterilization. The article concludes by suggesting that a eugenically oriented obstetrical and gynecol…
