A needs assessment to support implementation of the Model of Care for Integrated Cardiac Rehabilitation in Ireland

Exploring Barriers and Facilitators to Attendance At Diabetes Structured Education Programmes In Ireland
Introduction: Developing and promoting healthcare services that engage and empower people requires research to focus on areas of relevance to key stakeholders. To engage with key stakeholders, we conducted a research prioritisation process with people with diabetes, health professionals and policy makers to identify the most important topics to research in diabetes in Ireland. Key stakeholders identified low attendance at structured education for…
Sick from Freedom
Colin Powell was not around to warn President Abraham Lincoln, “If you break it, you own it.” As Jim Downs makes clear in this carefully documented work, the Union leadership, domestic and military, was wholly unprepared to deal with the breakdown of the system of slavery that followed the Union army with every foray into southern soil. Slavery, and the southern system of plantation agriculture built upon it, may have been destroyed, but the Unio…

Public Health and the U.S. Military
Bobby Wintermute is interested in what the U.S. military doctor was doing when he was not at war; in this account, he deliberately “eschew[s] combat medicine” (5) in order to focus on the army physician's professional aspirations and role in promoting public health and hygienic reform. Early in the volume, Wintermute emphasizes the peculiar occupational status of the army doctor, who desired respect both as a man of medicine and as an officer in …

Humanity's Burden
The conceptual worldview of ecology is at the center of James Webb's approach to malaria, as is fitting for a book in the Cambridge series on “Studies in Environment and History.” Webb grounds this fine survey of malaria's history in a solid understanding of the parasite's biology. He deftly describes the web of influences that determine disease success, including climate (temperature, moisture), environment (land cleared or forested, standing ve…
Gender Relationships, Matching, and Marriage Customs in an Irish Rural Community
The interplay between males and females in relation to courtship, marriage contracts, lifecycle rituals, and popular customs forms the basis of this paper. This article addresses the importance of these issues in terms of their function as expressions/externalizations of the rules and values which pertained in Irish rural society from the 1930s onwards. This paper also examines how distinctive idioms and expressions pertaining to courtship, match…

A Stranger to Our Camps
Medical observers during the American Civil War were happily surprised to find that typhus fever rarely made an appearance, and was not a major killer in the prisoner-of-war camps where the crowded, filthy, and malnourished populations appeared to offer an ideal breeding ground for the disease. Through a review of apparent typhus outbreaks in America north of the Mexican border, this article argues that typhus fever rarely if ever extended to the…

The Dance Event in Ethnographic Perspective
Personal interest in the behaviour associated with Dance Events has helped to encourage the selection of these events as a subject worthy of ethnographic study, but the idea of focusing on these gatherings from a scholarly perspective was also influenced by research which originally related to the preparations for the thesis I submitted for the degree of Master of Arts. During the course of this study, which focused on courtship, marriage pattern…

The Irritable Heart of Soldiers and the Origins of Anglo-American Cardiology
During the American Civil War, Philadelphia physician Jacob Mendez Da Costa was puzzled by a peculiar cardiac disease causing disability among young soldiers: they complained of chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, incapacitating fatigue on the slightest exertion, and fainting spells. He dubbed the syndrome "irritable heart." Also identified by British army medical officers in the 1860s, the disease was recognized in various forms over …

Yellow Fever, Polio, and the New Public Health
An axiom of late-nineteenth-century America held that cleanliness and godliness were of a piece. In the nation's cities, unwashed-and likely, wickedimmigrant hordes threatened both commerce and the health of the better sort. A cartoon in Harper's Weekly in 1885 aptly captured the necessity for constant vigilance against filth, purveyor of disease and death. An angel (surely a sign of moral worthiness), standing behind the bar of Quarantine and ho…
