The significance and burden of congenital cytomegalovirus infection: interviews with two leading experts
No full textHuman cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a member of the family Herpesviridae. This virus can remain dormant in the body over a long period after initial infection. Transmission of CMV occurs through direct contact with bodily fluids, such as saliva, urine, blood, semen, and breast milk, from individuals who are actively shedding the virus in these bodily fluids. CMV is extremely common and is found throughout all geographical locations and socioeconomic groups. Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection is the most common congenital infection globally and has potentially severe consequences for infants; however, there is little awareness of cCMV infection among pregnant females, families, and healthcare professionals (HCP).For this article, EMJ conducted interviews in March 2023 with two leading experts: Christine E. Jones from the University of Southampton and University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, UK; and Megan Pesch from the C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA, and the National CMV Foundation, Tampa, Florida, USA, both of whom have a wealth of experience and expertise in the management of cCMV. The experts gave valuable insights into topics such as the impact of cCMV infection on infants and their families and on public health; and screening, diagnosis, and treatment of cCMV infection. The experts also explored the potential complications of cCMV, particularly sensorineural hearing loss, the importance of prevention of maternal infection, and strategies to raise awareness of cCMV infection among HCPs and the public. In addition, Pesch provided a patient advocate perspective on the consequences of cCMV infection, sharing their experience of how cCMV has impacted their child, themself, and their family

There is, however, a limited amount of literature that explores the experiences of graduate students with disabilities as they navigate academic environments that were not established with the needs of disabled people in mind. As such, there is a need to examine these individuals’ narratives to develop a clearer understanding of their lived experiences and needs. As the population of students entering graduate level education continues to rise, there comes with it an increase in students with disabilities. While most literature on graduate students with disabilities are autoethnographies, the current study uses interviews to collect qualitative narratives from students in various programs, colleges, and with varying disabilities. While most studies on graduate students with disabilities have focused on PhD students, this study shares the experiences of both PhD and master’s students. This exploratory study identified themes across the experiences of graduate students with disabilities. It centered on the perspectives of graduate students with disabilities, specifically focusing on their lived experiences regarding ableism in academia, and their experiences inside and outside the classroom. The goal of this research was to learn to whom they disclose their disability and why, what barriers exist in receiving disability services, and what supports are most beneficial for them in their academic graduate education. Three major themes were determined from the analysis of the data: 1. Disability disclosure is necessary, 2. Ableism in academia is a barrier, and 3. Letters of accommodations are not enough. This study recommends increased assistance by institutions for graduate students with disabilities. Institutions need to adopt an intersectional and holistic approach to support graduate students with disabilities to lessen the stigma of disabilities and provide them with the greatest opportunity for success. Training for faculty and staff on disabilities needs to occur, as well as the creation of mentor and peer support networks such as the establishment of a disability cultural center

Patronage and Professionalism in the writings of Hannah More, Charlotte Smith and Ann Yearsley, 1770-1806.
No full textThis thesis examines the changes which were occurring in the literary marketplace at the end of the eighteenth century. The place of the traditional aristocratic patrons was gradually being taken by publishers and book sellers, who were increasingly dealing with writers direct. This move away from patronage towards a new form of professionalism took place during two decades of intense political upheaval and questioning of national identity, and at a point where women writers were being
seen increasingly as a natural part of literary culture.
The argument is focused on three case studies of women who came to prominence in the 1780s, and explores their different experiences of life as professional
writers, patrons and protegees. Their work is placed within the context of two significant political and social events; the beginnings of the movement to abolish the
slave trade in 1788, and the French Revolution. In particular, the thesis enagages with the Revolution's descent into the Terror in the 1790s, and the response of British writers to this most brutal phase.
Also considered are the various ways in which a literary work could be brought into print at the end of the eighteenth century, and how the three central women were
able to move from one mode of publishing to another. This thesis also sets out to offer a fresh perspective on the careers of these women, and in particular to recover the
reputation of Ann Yearsley as a writer of note in the 1790s.
It is proposed that a broader view needs to be taken of the factors influencing literary production in the 1780s and 90s than is currently the case, and the argument is
concluded with a consideration of the relationship between patronage and professionalism at the end of the eighteenth century, and an assessment of the significance of patronage in an increasingly professional literary marketplace
Satire and sympathy : some consequences of intrusive narration in Tom Jones and other comic novels
No full textThis thesis aims to reinterpret Tom Jones by putting it into
some previously untried comparative contexts. As well as using
the traditional points of reference such as Lucian, Swift and
Sterne, I compare Fielding's satire with Flaubert's; his narrative
poetics with Dickens's and Beckett's; his strategy of intrusion
with George Eliot's; and his literary politics with Brecht's.
I start by assuming the ambivalence of Tom Jones, but rather
than seeing this as a conscious ironic duality, I argue that it
derives from literary, moral and political uncertainty. The
intrusive narrator is seen as an index of vacillation between
first- and third-person narration, while conservative satiric
influences are shown to complicate rather than strengthen the
book's moral decisiveness. Its form, moreover, is shown to be
dialogic, and unable to keep at bay either the reader's
subjectivity or the flux of historical reality. But Fielding's
achievement, I finally suggest, is to have put these factors
into the service of his awareness of the always judgmental
nature of literature.
The thesis therefore takes on several previously uncovered areas:
it is very specific about the nature and extent of the narrator's
presence in Tom Jones; it draws new analogies between social and
literary forms (in the sections on conversation) and political
and literary structures (in the section on Fielding's plays).
It thereby reveals new areas of Fielding's writings which can be
treated as literary theory; finds detailed affinities between
Fielding and writers not normally associated with him; and
eventually constitutes a reading of Tom Jones as an inconclusive
and open-ended text which implies not a denial but a redefinition
of its historical importance
