Trends and epidemiology of radial head subluxation in the United States from 2004 to 2018.

Background: Increased body mass may predispose children to a greater risk for radial head subluxation (RHS). Recent studies in the literature have reported a plateau in obesity prevalence among infants and toddlers. This study sought to examine recent epidemiological trends in RHS incidence from 2004 to 2018 using the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System database to determine how obesity patterns may affect RHS incidence.

Searching for a feeling once felt: narratives of alcohol and health among Japanese immigrants in Hawai'i.

This paper discusses notions of health in alcohol use among new Japanese immigrants in a Japanese pub in Honolulu, Hawai'i. Japanese-style pubs are a space mediating sociability and subjective health through alcohol consumption, a symbol of good health. In the context of the pub, Japanese immigrants form strong intragroup bonds reinforcing a therapeutic narrative; the sensory experience created through social drinking offers a method of resolving stress, validating affect, and positively shaping well-being.
