Professor Dan L Bader, scientist, mentor, and friend
No full textThis special edition of the Journal of Tissue Viability provides a collection of scientific excellence led by the late Professor Dan L Bader. These papers form part of an academic career spanning over 40 years, working in collaboration with partners from around the world to provide novel insights into factors effecting tissue viability and technologies to promote wound prevention. Dan's great ambition was to translate his work from ‘bench to bedside’, using the highest quality experimental data [[1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]], computational modelling [9,10] and clinical studies [11,12] to create a step change in our understanding of factors which effect tissue health. This body of work originated from his career spanning several academic institutions including Queen Mary University London (QMUL), Technical University Eindhoven (TUE), and the University of Southampton (UoS).No Full Tex

Elizabeth Patton, University of Maryland Baltimore County – The Home Office and Work-Life Balance
No full textOn University of Maryland Baltimore County Week: A healthy work-life balance can be difficult no matter where you apply your trade. Today on The Academic Minute: Elizabeth Patton, associate professor of media and communication studies, examines how we portray work/life balance at home. Elizabeth Patton is media historian interested in discourses of gender, race and class in the history of media, representations of urbanism and suburbanism in popular culture, and the impact of communication technologies on space and place. She is the author of Easy Living: The Rise of the Home Office (Rutgers University Press, 2020). She is the recipient of the 2023 National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship. Recent research can be found in edited volumes such as Media Crossroads: Intersections of Space and Identity in Screen Cultures (Duke University Press, 2021) and Race and the Suburbs in American Film (SUNY Press, 2021). She currently serves as managing co-editor of Mediapolis: A Journal of Cities and Culture.https://www.aacu.org/podcasts/academicminute/2023-09-elizabeth-patton-university-of-maryland-baltimore-county-the-home-office-and-work-life-balanc

A systematic review of movement monitoring devices to aid the prediction of pressure ulcers in at-risk adults
Get PDFThe present study sought to explore the impact of movement monitoring devices on risk prediction and prevention of pressure ulcers (PU) among adults. Using systematic review methodology, we included original research studies using a prospective design, written in English, assessing adult patients' movement in bed, using a movement monitoring device. The search was conducted in March 2021, using PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane, and EMBASE databases, and returned 1537 records, of which 25 met the inclusion criteria. Data were extracted using a pre-designed extraction tool and quality appraisal was undertaken using the evidence-based librarianship (EBL). In total, 19 different movement monitoring devices were used in the studies, using a range of physical sensing principles. The studies focused on quantifying the number and types of movements. In four studies the authors compared the monitoring system with PU risk assessment tools, with a variety of high and low correlations observed. Four studies compared the relationship between movement magnitude and frequency and the development of PUs, with variability in results also identified. Two of these studies showed, as expected, that those who made less movements developed more PU; however, the two studies also unexpectedly found that PUs occurred in both low movers and high movers. In the final two studies, the authors focused on the concordance with recommended repositioning based on the results of the monitoring device. Overall, concordance with repositioning increased with the use of a monitoring device. The synthesis of the literature surrounding bed monitoring technologies for PU risk prediction showed that a range of physical sensors can be used to detect the frequency of movement. Clinical studies showed some correlation between parameters of movement and PU risk/incidence, although the heterogeneity of approaches limits generalisable recommendations.</p
Future proofing wound care research and its dissemination (Editorial)
No full textHello everyone ! This is my first editorial for the Journal of Tissue Viability since succeeding Professor Dan Bader. At the outset my goal is to continue the outstanding Editorial job that Professor Bader delivered over the years, continuing to drive the dissemination of high quality evidence for wound care clinicians and scientists. This editorial is timely as this year International Stop the Pressure Day is on Thursday the 17th November. There are still too many people developing pressure ulcers across all care settings and age groups. Early identification and ramping up skin care interventions is the only way to drive the numbers down and enhance patient safety. The importance of stopping pressure ulcers through evidence based risk assessment is as important as ever and we have dedicated our first virtual edition of the Journal to this, here is the link,

Autoimmunities after COVID: An Interview with Cindy Patton
No full textCindy Patton is Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Anthropology at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada. An early AIDS activist in Boston, she holds a PhD in Communications from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. After inaugurating her academic career at Temple University (Rhetoric and Community) and Emory University (Graduate Institute of the Liberal Arts), she accepted a Canada Research Chair in Community, Culture and Health at Simon Fraser (2003-15). In that capacity, she worked with more than two dozen groups to develop small community-driven projects related to HIV/AIDS, housing, social welfare, mental health, while achieving, culminating in the creation of the Community Health Online Digital Research Resource, a catalogued, open-access, full-text collection of the materials from those groups (www.chodarr.org). Her academic publications span the social study of medicine, especially AIDS; social movement theory; gender studies; and media studies. She is the coeditor of Queer Diasporas (2000) and a special issue of Cultural Studies on Pierre Bourdieu (2003). She is the author of such works as Globalizing AIDS (2002), Cinematic Identity: Anatomy of a Problem Film (1997), Fatal Advice: How Safe-Sex Education Went Wrong (1996), Inventing AIDS (1990), and LA Plays Itself/Boys in the Sand: A Queer Film Classic (2014).
Taken collectively, Patton’s scholarship and activism has laid the foundation for insights in the health humanities, particularly AIDS studies, that consider the inextricable connections between epidemiology and ideology. Patton’s theorizations of stigma and discrimination patterns, her deconstruction of “truth” discourses subtending science, her critical re-evaluations of axioms associated with risk, safe sex, community, and knowledge production have been crucial interventions in the understanding of health and illness as cultural and discursive scripts. Among Patton’s most enduring contributions has been her theorization of how “African AIDS” was invented and circulated—that is, the notion of geographically bifurcated HIV pandemics split by the essential linkage between Africa and blackness generally with pathogenesis. Equally influential has been her elaboration of the insurgent queer research practices that fused with antiracist struggle to combat this split.
In the interview below, Travis Alexander and Nishant Shahani engage Patton in a discussion on a range of topics—from (dis)continuities between the HIV/AIDS and COVID pandemics to the role of queer activism in forging epidemiological counter-publics and the geopolitics of medical bureaucracy
