COVID-19 Infection, Admission and Death Amongst People with Rare Autoimmune Rheumatic Disease in England. Results from the RECORDER Project.
No full textThe RECORDER (Registration of Complex Rare Diseases – Exemplars in Rheumatology) project, in collaboration with the National Congenital Anomaly and Rare Disease Registration Service (NCARDRS), has established the methodologies for identification and registration of people with rare autoimmune diseases within Hospital Episodes Statistics (HES) data.
NCARDRS is part of the National Rare Disease Registration Service (NDRS) at Public Health England (PHE). They have access to linked national datasets of electronic health records at patient-identifiable level for the whole population of England. This access is enabled by NCARDRS’ legal permissions to access patient-identifiable data without consent (Section 251 approval, Reference CAG 10-02(d)/2015).
For some of RECORDER and NCARDRS COVID-19 response work, the work extends beyond Section 251 approval. In these instances it has been approved under Regulation 3(4) of the Health Service Control of Patient Information Regulations 2002 (COPI), allowing the processing of confidential patient information for the purposes of protecting public health and managing the COVID-19 outbreak.
Due to legal and ethical considerations, supporting data from RECORDER publications cannot be made openly available. However, NCARDRS data are available to all who have a legal basis to access them. Further details about the data and conditions for access are available by application to the National Disease Registration Service.

What makes for stress or depression among select residents in rural western Wisconsin: namely Barron, Chippewa, Dunn, Pierce, Polk, and St. Croix county's population meeting the 1998 U. S. Department of Health and Services poverty guideline
No full textPlan BEach of us encounters daily responsibilities and obligations, along with pressures that challenge are very existence called stress or depression. The purpose of this correlational study was to identify areas of need contributing to, or influencing stress or depression in the impoverished rural western Wisconsin residents.
The randomly selected sample group for this study included 785 subjects age eighteen and older living in Barron, Chippewa, Dunn, Pierce, Pepin, Polk, and St. Croix counties. The subjects were selected from the West Central Wisconsin Community Action Agency’s, (West CAP), Client Intake System, (CIS), which included over 3,000 entries from these seven counties. Also, 310 subjects were selected from the Low Income, Housing, and Energy Assistance Program, (LIHEAP), listing in the seven counties.
The results obtained by this author include all correlations among the 15 categories contained in this study, yielding a total of 225 inter-correlations. The author has presented an analysis of only those 15 variables, which are directly correlated with stress or depression.
The discussion centered on the most critical needs identified which were the need for counseling, and food, and nutrition. The most significant of these need areas is counseling. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient identified that all but one of the independent variables correlates with stress or depression.
This author concludes that there is a need for additional and more specific research conducted with rural low-income populations. This study leaves question around how poverty level relates to the degree of self-reported stress or depression. Thus, the present study fills a need for information concerning degrees of stress and depression in rural populations
Writing the Appalachian commons: white women novelists on Ecological disaster and repair
No full textThis study addresses six novels written by White Appalachian women in the years
following the War on Poverty through the presidency of Donald Trump (1973-2019): Wilma
Dykeman’s Return the Innocent Earth (1973), Denise Giardina’s Storming Heaven (1987) and
The Unquiet Earth (1992), Ann Pancake’s Strange as This Weather Has Been (2007), Mesha
Maren’s Sugar Run (2018), and Madeline ffitch’s Stay and Fight (2019). It is my argument that
each of these novelists have produced ecofeminist texts with the purpose of drawing attention to
the slow violence of environmental degradation in Appalachia. Through the vehicle of the novel,
these author-activists demonstrate the destructive nature of capitalism in sacrifice zones such as
Appalachia and outline the need for a restoration of the ecological commons through collective
action. Drawing on theoretical frameworks in commons recovery, ecofeminism, and Whiteness
studies, I explore the role author-activists play in responding to, making evident, and mitigating
the slow violence of ecological disaster. Additionally, I delve into the extent to which White
Appalachian female authors successfully or unsuccessfully elucidate the role of Whiteness and
its intersections with class and gender. To that end, this dissertation explores the boundaries of
White privilege in the context of capitalist endeavors and scrutinizes the unique roles that White
female authors and their marginalized White characters play in challenging the stereotypical
image of White Appalachia.Ph. D

Nasal nitric oxide measurement in children for the diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia: European Respiratory Society technical standard.
No full textNasal nitric oxide (nNO) is extremely low in most people with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) and its measurement is an important contributor to making the diagnosis. Existing guidelines and technical standards focus on nNO measurements in older, cooperative children using chemiluminescent analysers. However, measurements of nNO in pre-school children (2-5 years) may facilitate early diagnosis, and electrochemical rather than chemiluminescence analysers are widely used. Pre-schoolers often need different methods to be employed when measuring nNO. Hence a European Respiratory Society Task Force has developed this technical standard as the first step towards standardising sampling, analysis, and reporting of nNO measured as part of the diagnostic testing for PCD in all age groups including preschool-age children. Furthermore, we considered both chemiluminescence and electrochemical analysers that are in use worldwide. There was paucity of quality evidence for electrochemical analysers and sampling methods used in young children, and this manuscript proposes future research priorities to allow updates of this technical standard
