Beyond either/or: Reading trans* lesbian identities.

Published: September 2016

Previous research has explored the affiliation and distancing strategies employed in published memoirs of gender transition. In this article, we are particularly interested in elucidating the ways in which individuals construct identities and characterize their sexualities, and how sociohistorical constraints might influence what is expressed with respect to this in personal narratives of transition. Using the memoirs of Lili Elbe (Hoyer, 1933) and Joy Ladin (2013) as conceptual brackets, this article investigates the complex relationship between the development and articulation of trans* identities and lesbian sexualities within the context of published memoirs of gender transition.

Recognition memory decline is associated with the progression to prodromal Alzheimer's disease in asymptomatic at-risk individuals.

Episodic memory (EM) alterations are a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We assessed EM longitudinally in cognitively normal elders at-risk for AD (with subjective memory complaints), as a function of amyloid-β (Aβ) burden, neurodegeneration (N), and progression to prodromal AD. We stratified 264 INSIGHT-preAD study subjects in controls (Aβ-/N-), stable/N- or N + (Aβ +), and progressors/N- or N + (Aβ +) groups (progressors were included only until AD-diagnosis).

However, ECT is associated with cognitive adverse effects. The study of the neurobiological correlates of the cognitive adverse effects of ECT has been covered in few published reviews.

Article Synopsis
  • * Concerns are raised about purely biological definitions being used in clinical settings, especially since many biomarker-positive but cognitively normal individuals may never develop symptoms, complicating diagnosis and patient understanding.
  • * The authors advocate for a combined clinical-biological definition of AD that accommodates at-risk and presymptomatic stages, emphasizing the need for caution in diagnosing AD without fully understanding the implications for patients.

Teaching Pathographies of Mental Illness.

October 2024

McGovern Center for Humanities and Ethics, McGovern Medical School, Houston, TX, USA.

This paper describes the content and evolution of a fourth-year course for medical students on teaching pathographies of mental illness. (It is a follow-up to Nathan Carlin's that appeared as an Element in the Bioethics and Neuroethics series published by Cambridge University Press.) The course originally centered on classic (and some contemporary) memoirs; however, responding to student evaluations, newer material now ensures more diversity, with material written by women and people of color, and describes the difference that can make.
