Kitty Dukakis, Michael Dukakis, and Larry Tye: Shock discuss The Healing Power of Electroconvulsive Therapy at the Ford Hall Forum, audio recording, 10/15/2007
No full textAfter suffering from decades from severe depression, substance abuse problems, and hospitalizations, Kitty Dukakis now credits her recovery to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Opponents of ECT would like to see the treatment banned on the basis of its common side effects, including memory loss. Many patients say these are a small price to pay for control over a disabling condition. Governor Michael Dukakis and author Larry Tye join Kitty Dukakis for a discussion on how this medical treatment – along with the support of family and loved ones – can potentially help individuals through the horrors of clinical depression.https://dc.suffolk.edu/fhf-av/1072/thumbnail.jp

Making homes on the road: Transient mobility, domesticity, and culture in the United States, 1870s-1930s
No full text“Making Home on the Road,” charts the illicit mobility of transient workers, popularly known as hobos, across the United States from the 1870s through 1930s. On top of, inside, and underneath freight and passenger trains, men, women, and others moved about the nation as a matter of work, escape, liberation, or fortune. These evasive figures subverted, resisted, and destabilized constructions of gender, sexuality, and mobility. They also undercut the dehumanizing rhetoric and the legal and social restrictions directed at them by law enforcement, sociologists, reformers, and the press. In doing so hobos offered their imaginings of space, politics, and community during a period when those possibilities were taken through social, legal, and violent means by those in power. This dissertation intertwines previous studies of transient labor grounded in the histories of labor, welfare, and immigration with recent studies of gender, sexuality, and mobility in the United States. Bringing these historiographical and methodological bodies together not only illuminates the impact of illicit mobility on transient culture and community, but transients’ impact on emergent Progressive Era constructions of heteronormativity and the home. This dissertation accomplishes this by following hobos in their travels in the Midwest and West. In boxcars, campsites, and urban skid row districts, transients established communities, created poetry and song, forged intimacies, resisted law enforcement, and organized themselves through unions and fraternal organization. “Making Home on the Road,” reconsiders the role of the mobile poor in the development of new possibilities for gender nonconformity and queer sexualities, the formation of the heteronormative home, and manifestation of mobility and mobile cultures in rural, urban, and transatlantic contexts during the Progressive Era.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2021-08-01The student, Nathan Tye, accepted the attached license on 2019-07-10 at 15:57.The student, Nathan Tye, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2019-07-10 at 16:05.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2019-07-10 at 17:45.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #14216 on 2019-11-26 at 13:04:49Made available in DSpace on 2019-11-26T20:49:23Z (GMT).

Two cases of scarlet fever seen in Hong Kong
No full textBackground: Description on the different clinical presentations of two scarlet fever patients seen in Hong Kong Aim: To alert GP colleagues on the features of scarlet fever and beware of this potentially complicated disease. Method: Case 1: A 5-years old boy presented on 11-11-2016 with a 1-day history of fever (38.5 degrees), sorethroat and non-specific abdominal pain. P/E showed a congested throat. Abdominal examination was unremarkable. The next day morning (~36 hours after the onset of fever), his temperature went down but he developed fine diffuse pink rash over his neck and upper trunk with a ‘sandpaper’ texture. Scarlet fever was suspected and confirmed by a positive throat swab of Streptococcus pyogenes. His rash disappeared totally 1 week later. Case 2: A 7 years-old girl presented on 21-2-2017 morning with fever (38.8 degrees) and sorethroat. P/E showed a congested throat. Her fever subsided the next day with sorethroat improved. On 23 February morning, she developed minimal faint rash over her upper trunk. She re-kicked up a low-grade fever that afternoon. The rash spread over the whole-body with a suntan appearance. Scarlet fever confirmed. The rash gradually scaled off within 1 week. Result: Both kids were cured with a 10 days’ course of oral penicillin without other long-term sequelae. Although both of them had scarlet fever, but the presentations, especially the rash onset time and morphology, were different. A high index of suspicion is the key to diagnosis. Conclusion: Scarlet fever is a notifiable disease in Hong Kong. If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications. Inadequate treatment to Streptococcus pyogenes infection is an important cause of acute rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease. Prompt diagnosis and ensuring patient’s drug compliance can effectively reduce complications development.published_or_final_versio
Carpal tunnel syndrome without numbness
No full textIntroduction: Numbness/paresthesia in the median nerve distribution are hallmark symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. An atypical case with just thenar muscles atrophy and thumb pain is reported. Methods: Case report A 66-year old woman with diabetes, hyperlipidaemia and obesity attended a GOPC in October 2019 complained of an insidious onset of right thumb pain since 6 months ago. The pain had been worsening. Atrophy of her right thenar eminence noticed. She reported no numbness over her fingers nor wrist. Examination showed right thumb metacarpophalangeal joint tenderness without abnormal mass. There was marked wasting of her right thenar muscles with weakness of the thumb. X-ray right thumb: satisfactory alignment; Degenerative changes at interphalangeal joint. CXR was unremarkable. She was referred to the orthopaedic specialist. Her right thumb’s abduction power was graded as 2/5; Tinel’s, Durkan’s and Phalen’s tests were all positive upon being seen by O&T a few months later. No abnormality was detected over her right elbow, other myotomes nor dermatomes. The impression was carpal tunnel syndrome. Early NCV/EMG were arranged and she was put on list for surgical release. Meanwhile, she was referred to occupational therapist for wrist splint. Results: The patient was diagnosed to have carpal tunnel syndrome eventually. Discussion: Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common disorder with an estimated prevalence of 1-5% in the general population. The patient described in this case presented atypically with right thumb joint pain and atrophy of thenar muscles only. She did not volunteer any numbness. Nonetheless, early referral to orthopaedics is mandatory. Apart from carpal tunnel syndrome, family physicians should also beware of Pancoast tumor as an important differential diagnosis when patients present with small muscles of hand atrophy. Conclusion: Family physicians should be alerted to the finding of thenar muscles atrophy and proceed with referrals and further investigations to find out the cause
A patient with left 4th cranial nerve palsy
No full textAn 85-year old woman with hypertension, hyperlipidaemia attended a GOPC in April 2021 complained of a 1-week history of diplopia worsened when looking in the right downward direction. There had been no head nor eyes injury. Physical exam showed diplopia maximal when looking in the right downward direction and relieved when tilting the head towards the right. There was no other focal neurological sign. The patient was suspected to have left 4th cranial nerve palsy and was referred to the hospital for workup. Family physicians should be alerted to the possibility of 4th cranial nerve palsy when patients complain of diplopia, particularly when looking downwards

An infant with umbilical hernia
No full textIntroduction: Umbilical hernias are common in infants. Family physicians should know its presentation, the red flags and the natural course of the condition and advise the parents accordingly. The Case: A 49-day old infant girl born at 36 weeks maturity was brought by her mother to a GOPC for an umbilical swelling noted since a few days ago. It was more obvious when the baby was crying. The infant also had repeated vomiting for the past 1 week, the onset time can be up to 3 hours after feeding. She had no fever, but was more irritable than before. She had normal bowel opening and urination. Physical exam showed an umbilical hernia. The infant was well perfused. In view of the repeated vomiting, she was referred to the hospital. Result: The infant was admitted through the emergency department. After admission, she vomited twice without bilious fluid. She had normal bowel opening and her umbilical hernia was reducible. Over-feeding was noted upon further enquiry with the parents. She was discharged with follow up. Discussion: Around 20% of babies are born with umbilical hernias. The condition is usually detected during newborn examination. The majority (90%) of the umbilical hernias present during infancy will naturally close by the child’s 5th year of age. Surgical intervention earlier than that is required only in a minority of patients such as strangulated hernia, large, trunk-like hernias without any decrease in size of the umbilical ring defect over the first 2 years of life, hernias associated with genetic and syndromic conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Down syndrome, etc (since these are less likely to have spontaneous closure). Conclusion: Family physicians should note the red flags in patients presenting with umbilical hernia. In stable cases, the natural course of the condition and its management should be conveyed to the parents to alleviate any unnecessary worries
