Increased rates of respiratory disease in schizophrenia: A systematic review and meta-analysis including 619,214 individuals with schizophrenia and 52,159,551 controls
No full textINTRODUCTION: Despite respiratory disease being a major cause of excess mortality in people with schizophrenia, the prevalence of respiratory conditions in this population is poorly defined. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to establish the prevalence and association of respiratory diseases in people with schizophrenia. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Major electronic databases were searched from inception to 27 April 2020 for articles reporting respiratory disease (asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD], pneumonia, and tuberculosis) in people with schizophrenia and, where possible, a control group. A random-effects meta-analysis was conducted. The study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42018115137). RESULTS: Of 1569 citations, 21 studies consisting of 619,214 individuals with schizophrenia and 52,159,551 controls were included in the meta-analysis. Compared to the general population, people with schizophrenia had significantly higher rates of COPD (odds ratio [OR]: 1.82, 95% CI: 1.28-2.57), asthma (OR: 1.70, 95% CI: 1.02-2.83), and pneumonia (OR: 2.62, 95% CI: 1.10-6.23). In people with schizophrenia, the prevalence of COPD was 7.7% (95% CI: 4.0-14.4), asthma 7.5% (95% CI: 4.9-11.3), pneumonia 10.3% (95% CI 5.4-18.6), and tuberculosis 0.3% (95% CI 0.1 -0.8). After adjusting for publication bias, the prevalence of COPD increased to 19.9% (95% CI: 9.6-36.7). DISCUSSION: All respiratory diseases examined were significantly more prevalent in people with schizophrenia compared with the general population. Future studies should focus on improving the prevention and management of respiratory disease in this group to reduce associated excess mortality.sponsorship: We would like to thank Marc Miravitlles from Vall d'Hebron University Hospital and Research Institute for providing additional data.

Manifestations of humanism in Cuban history, politics, and culture
No full textThe thesis explores what it deems are some of the most perceptible humanistic features in Cuban history, politics, and culture, less specified, or highlighted, or generally not presented in a cohesive body of knowledge in the western scholarly world. In the context of its subject, the thesis embraces rational-critical thinking and supports the custom of non-violent dispute. Insofar as the Cuban Constitution incorporates a range of goals structured on socialist principles, the thesis sets out to scrutinise manifestations in Cuban thinking emblematic of the Marxist-humanist and/or anti-Stalinist philosophical traditions of revolutionary praxis. The thesis' main body investigates, illustrates, and analyses the presence of such features, focussing predominantly on the period 1959 to the late 1960s. Where the thesis does delve into timeframes beyond this era, it endeavours to show the continuity of relevant facets previously identified. Preceding the main examination, the thesis looks into what is widely perceived as the main roots of the country's humanist tradition, the moral ideas and standpoints of Jose Marti, the country's national hero. A further objective of this thesis lies in the belief that aspects of Cuba's national cultural policy in large measure addresses historical issues post-Apartheid South Africa confronts today
Book review: 1996 and the end of history by David Stubbs
No full textIn 1996 and The End of History, journalist and author David Stubbs examines a year – 1996 – that marked the pinnacle of a decade, not just in politics but across music, entertainment and sport. Tying together the political and cultural landscapes of mid-nineties Britain, this is a valuable addition to the current critical reassessment of a period that seemed to promise sunnier times ahead. But, asks Stephen Lee Naish, could it ever last
Automne 1579: l’affaire Stubbs ou comment un pamphlet a privé la Reine d’Angleterre d’un mariage français
No full textIn 1579, John Stubbs wrote his «Gaping Gulf » , a pamphlet in which he denounced the likely union between Queen Elizabeth and the king of France’s brother. After a short trial, the author and the distributor of the text had their right hands cut off. The news spread instantly, in England as well as in continental Europe. This led to a textual war, in which famous characters like Sir Philip Sidney and Henry Howard, earl of Northampton, took part. Scholars from England and from the Continent exchanged letters which testified to their uneasiness in front of the improving relations between England and France. In many ways, the Stubbs affair is revealing. It shows how European Protestants kept an eye on the fate of England and of her queen. It is telling of the authorities’ growing mistrust for the printed text. It testifies to the potential yet increasingly oppositional strength of the English stationers.En 1579, suite à l’accélération soudaine des négociations matrimoniales entre Élisabeth et le frère du roi de France, John Stubbs rédige le «Gaping Gulf » , un pamphlet virulent dans lequel il dénonce le mariage futur. Après un rapide procès, l’auteur et le diffuseur du texte sont amputés de la main droite. La nouvelle se répand très vite, en Angleterre et en Europe. S’engage alors une bataille de textes, plus ou moins largement diffusés, à laquelle participent notamment Sir Philip Sidney et le comte de Northampton. Les lettres échangées entre les érudits protestants continentaux et leurs homologues anglais témoignent de l’inquiétude naissante face au rapprochement franco-anglais. À bien des égards, l’affaire Stubbs est un révélateur du statut à part de l’Angleterre dans la conscience protestante européenne, de la défiance des autorités face à l’imprimé, et d’un pouvoir croissant des libraires face aux autorités.Daniel Marie-Céline.

‘True democratic sympathy’: Charles Stubbs, Christian socialism and English labour, 1863-1912
No full textCharles Stubbs (1845–1912) was the most senior Anglican clergyman to engage supportively with the labour movement in the decades before the Great War. From a curacy in Sheffield during the 1860s he rose to become first Dean of Ely (from 1894) and then Bishop of Truro (from 1906 until his death). The titles of some of his many books give a good flavour of their author: Village Politics: Addresses and Sermons on the Labour Question; The Land and the Labourers (five editions, 1885–1904); Christ and Economics; A Creed for Christian Socialists. An early member of the Guild of St Matthew, a small but influential Christian socialist society founded in 1877 ‘to justify God to the people’, Stubbs was a powerful influence on an important but neglected facet of Christian socialism, one that was ‘Broad Church’ rather than Anglo-Catholic. He was also widely admired in progressive liberal and trade unionist circles for his practical involvement in campaigns in support of land reform, rural renewal, and agricultural labour. This article analyses his thinking about the ‘social witness’ of Christianity, arguing it was an important bridge between the theology of the mid-Victorian socialist F.D. Maurice and post-First World War Christian socialism

WILL (When to induce labour to limit risk in pregnancy hypertension): Protocol for a multicentre randomised trial
No full textObjectives: to address optimal timing of birth for women with chronic or gestational hypertension who reach term and remain well. Study design: Pragmatic, non-masked randomised trial. Inclusion: maternal age ≥16 years, chronic or gestational hypertension, singleton pregnancy, live fetus, 36+0–37+6 weeks’ gestation, and able to give documented informed consent. Exclusion: contraindication to either trial arm (e.g., pre-eclampsia or another indication for birth at term), blood pressure (BP) ≥ 160/110 mmHg until controlled, major fetal anomaly anticipated to require neonatal care unit admission, or participation in another timing of birth trial. Randomisation (1:1 ratio, minimised for key prognostic variables: site, hypertension type, and prior Caesarean) to ‘planned early term birth at 38+0-3 weeks’ or ‘usual care at term’ (revised from ‘expectant care until at least 40+0 weeks’, Aug 2022).Outcomes: maternal co-primary: composite of ‘poor maternal outcome’ (severe hypertension, maternal death, or maternal morbidity). Neonatal co-primary: neonatal care unit admission for ≥4 h. Each co-primary is measured until primary hospital discharge or 28 days post-birth (whichever is earlier). Key secondary: Caesarean birth.Analysis: sample of 1080 participants (540/arm) will detect an 8% reduction in the maternal co-primary (90% power, superiority hypothesis), and give 94% power for a between-group non-inferiority margin of difference of 9% in the neonatal co-primary. Analysis will be by intention-to-treat. Ethics approval has been obtained (NHS Health Research Authority London Fulham Research Ethics Committee, 18/LO/2033). Conclusions: The study will provide data for women to make informed choices about their care and allow health systems to plan services.</p
