    Amyloid and tau in the brain in sporadic Alzheimer’s disease: defining the chicken and the egg

    No full text
    In the October 2013 issue of Acta Neuropathologica there were three very interesting articles on: Amyloid or tau: the chicken or the egg? In the first article, David Mann and John Hardy argued that the deposition of aggregated amyloid β (Aβ) protein in the brain is a primary driving force behind the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease with tau pathology following as a consequential or at least a secondary event. In the communication that followed, Braak and Del Tredici presented the contrary argument with accumulation of tau protein as the primary event in sporadic Alzheimer’s disease. Attems and Jellinger questioned the concept of a chicken and egg and suggested that the majority of cases of age-associated dementia are not caused by one single primary pathological mechanism

    Digging deep! The archaeological metaphor helping researchers get into Big Qual

    No full text
    Working across qualitative data sets is a relatively new but nevertheless exciting proposition, but can it be done well and with integrity? In this episode of the Methods Podcast, we talk to Dr Susie Weller from the University of Southampton who, with colleagues (Prof Rosalind Edwards, Prof Lynn Jamieson and Dr Emma Davidson) and as part of an NCRM funded research project, has developed an archeological metaphor to do just that.<br/

    Collaborating with original research teams: Some reflections on good secondary analytic practice

    No full text
    In this blog, Dr Susie Weller, Senior Research Fellow at the ESRC National Centre for Research Methods and the MRC Lifecourse Epidemiology Unit, University of Southampton reflects on her experiences of thinking about good practice in qualitative secondary analysis. Susie draws on a recent ESRC National Centre for Research Methods study – Working across qualitative longitudinal studies: A feasibility study looking at care and intimacy – conducted with Prof Rosalind Edwards, Prof Lynn Jamieson and Dr Emma Davidson. She considers some of the possibilities and challenges of developing collaborative relationships between secondary analysts and members of the original teams who created the data sets. In so doing, she shows how attachments to data and notions of ownership – for both original researchers and re-users of the data – shift over time

    I-Poems as a method of qualitative interview data analysis: young people’s sense of self: Dataset

    No full text
    I-poems are one of a range of possible ways of analysing in-depth qualitative interview data. The particular focus is on identifying how interviewees talk about themselves (their first person ‘voices’) and interpreting their sense/s of self or subjectivities. This exemplar of the I-poem form of analysis demonstrates the steps involved, and reflects on the implications of a process that aims to trace how participants represent themselves in interviews. The material used is provided by Professor Rosalind Edwards and Dr Susie Weller from the University of Southampton, and is taken from their qualitative longitudinal research study: Your Space, which focuses on the dynamics of young people’s sibling and friendship relationships over time. The exemplar data consists of an audio recording and transcript of an interview with ‘Jasmin’ (a pseudonym), one of the young people participating in the research study, undertaken specifically for data analysis demonstration purposes, and an I-poem produced from analysis of the transcript annotated to identify the ‘voices’ in which she speaks. This exemplar will show you how to construct an I-poem and use it to identify and trace continuities and changes in research participants’ sense/s of self within an interview

    Interview of Marian Weller on her career in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps and service during the Vietnam War

    No full text
    In a poignant oral history interview, Marian Weller talks about her long career in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps and her service during the Vietnam War. Weller says that she comes from a family with a long military history and that she even graduated as a second lieutenant from the Army Student Nurse program in 1967. She talks about her basic training at Fort Sam Houston, working at Walter Reed Hospital in 1968 and being shipped to Vietnam in February 1969 to join the 95th Evac Hospital, across the harbor from Da Nang. She talks about her duty in the "yuck unit" working with patients with disfiguring battlefield injuries, the civilian casualties brought in by the choppers, life on the base, being in a helicopter crash, atrocities committed by the Viet Cong, the corruption which was part of daily life, trying to clean blood off concrete floors and the relentless tropical heat and humidity. She says that she rotated back to the States in 1970 and served at hospitals in Maryland, Hawaii, Georgia, Massachusetts, Texas and the Philippines and finally retired as a major in 2002. Weller talks candidly about developing medical and emotional problems in the years after her Vietnam service and says that she was finally diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after a visit to the Vietnam War Memorial sent her into a three day crying jag. Weller is interviewed by Ruth F. Stewart
