‘More Beastliness Than Beauty’: Gendering Pica in Seventeenth‐Century English Medicine and Culture

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Today, defined as the ‘persistent eating of non‐nutritive substances’, pica is a lesser‐known eating disorder with a long history. Defined in early modern England as the ‘desire to eat absurd things’, pica was explicitly gendered, associated with pregnant women and pubescent girls.

Subjective vs Objective Evaluation of Knee Stability in Patients before and after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Central European Journal of Sport Sciences and Medicine, 2014
Every year, the number of anterior cruciate ligament ruptures increases considerably. The present analysis compares patients’ subjective sensations after the ACL injury to an objective arthrometric examination. The subjective evaluation of the knee-

The informal prisoner justice system: Classification, identification, and punishment of sex offenders behind bars

Criminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing on 576 interviews with incarcerated men and 131 correctional staff across five Western Canadian prisons, we reconceptualize the prison code as subcultural law, documenting the “informal prisoner justice system” as its enforcement arm. Although scholars have treated the code primarily as cultural values prescribing loyalty, silence, and

Genomic Content in Avian Haemosporidian Parasites Suggests Co‐Regulation of Apicoplast and Mitochondrial Nucleoids

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Apicoplast genomic content and mitochondrial genomic content were found to be strongly correlated (rho = 0.93) for infections going from low to high. Apicoplast and mitochondrial genomic content were deemed as more predictive factors of parasitemia for different infection intensities.

Domination Versus Sisterhoods in the Blood Microbiota of Migrating Birds: Patterns of Within‐ and Between‐Individual Blood Parasite Diversity Revealed Through Metabarcoding

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Avian haemosporidian blood parasites are typically identified through Sanger sequencing of a partial cytochrome b fragment, the MalAvi barcoding region. Next‐generation sequencing is seldom used for avian blood parasite identification; this study demonstrates a higher detection rate of co‐infections via metabarcoding and its possible implications ...

Anaesthetic management of a horse with acute kidney injury

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Anaesthetic management of animals with acute kidney injuries (AKI) is complex and poses considerable risk. There are no publications describing management of anaesthetised horses with AKI. Perioperative and anaesthetic care of a Thoroughbred filly presented with traumatic injuries and subsequent AKI is described.
