Hence, there is a need to assess the possible association between chronic periodontitis and coronary artery disease.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>A study included 100 subjects divided into four groups. Group I: stable coronary artery disease with chronic periodontitis, Group II: stable coronary artery disease without chronic periodontitis, Group III: chronic periodontitis without coronary artery disease, and Group IV: healthy controls. Gingival index, Russell's periodontal index, pocket depth, and clinical attachment level were recorded. Venous blood was collected from the patients, and serum fibrinogen, CRP, and lipid profile levels were estimated.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The intragroup comparison of biochemical and periodontal parameters showed statistically significant results with <i>P</i> < 0.05. The intergroup comparison of serum FIB, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, and clinical attachment level showed statistical significant results (<i>P</i> = 0.000, <i>P</i> = 0.000, <i>P</i> = 0.001, <i>P</i> = 0.025, and <i>P</i> = 0.000, respectively) between Groups I and III.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The results of the study indicate that there might a possible correlation between coronary artery disease and chronic periodontitis, but periodontitis-cardiovascular link is complex and difficult to define though there is sufficient evidence for their association. Leakage of pro-inflammatory cytokines from the ulcerated periodontium causes the production of acute-phase proteins by the liver. To prove the relationship, further studies should be considered making use of other markers of inflammation with prospective randomized controlled studies involving large population.</p>","PeriodicalId":29747,"journal":{"name":"Health and History","volume":"11 1","pages":"50-55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9030312/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88889865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper explores the contribution to medicine of women medical practitioners working within one geographical area of rural New South Wales. It traces these women, documenting the diversity of women’s medical work and some of the challenges faced. Based largely on data from contemporary reports in two local newspapers, the Daily Express and The Daily Advertiser, this paper shows that some of the silence associated with the role of women in rural medicine could be attributed to them holding positions at the margins of what is depicted as ‘real’ medicine, in fields that include public health and education.","PeriodicalId":29747,"journal":{"name":"Health and History","volume":"12 1","pages":"42 - 60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5401/HEALTHHIST.12.1.0042","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42556095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

McPhillips","doi":"10.5401/healthhist.20.2.0075","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5401/healthhist.20.2.0075","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:This article considers stigma as it is constituted in institutional settings and its amplifying effects on survivor trauma. Evidence from the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse revealed the impact of disclosure of sexual abuse on the lives of survivors, who described powerful forms of social isolation and the accompanying emotions of guilt, shame and self-hate. This article argues that the quality of stigmatisation in institutional settings is related to particular organisational mechanisms that induce isolation, creating forms of survivor stigma. A case study of the Towards Healing redress protocol utilised by the Australian Catholic Church provides insight into how such mechanisms work. The Royal Commission, also an example of an institution, provided a vehicle for the remediation of spoiled identities for survivors, suggesting that institutions can successfully respond to imperatives protecting organisational self-interest, and create social cohesion.","PeriodicalId":29747,"journal":{"name":"Health and History","volume":"20 1","pages":"75 - 90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42923248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing primarily on General Prison Board and coronial court records, this article adopts a Foucauldian lens to examine the procedure with respect to executions in a representative sample of agrarian, political, and domestic abuse cases that came before the Home Circuit and Dublin Commission after the Capital Punishment Act 1868. The cases discussed share a threshold of heinousness that not only assured public support of the most extreme punishment, it also justified hanging in a volatile sociopolitical environment.","PeriodicalId":29747,"journal":{"name":"Health and History","volume":"22 1","pages":"104 - 125"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48258828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"In Defence of Theodore Gray: Architecture as a Vehicle for Re-evaluating a Doctor's Commitment to Patient Care","authors":"Rebecca Mclaughlan","doi":"10.5401/healthhist.19.1.0020","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5401/healthhist.19.1.0020","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:Theodore Gray was director-general of New Zealand's mental hospitals from 1927–47. During this time the psychopathic hospital, electroconvulsive therapy, and effective psychopharmaceuticals all became available for the treatment of mental illness, yet Gray continued to believe that a suitably designed hospital environment was the best means of treating mental illness. Contemporary historians have criticised Gray's leadership as institutionalised and conservative; limited by his faith in the villa hospital. This paper argues that Gray was an innovator who understood the drawbacks of asylum care and whose architectural developments, specifically at the Kingseat and Lake Alice hospitals, confirmed both a remarkable commitment to open-door hospital practices and a sincere desire to improve the delivery of patient care. These architectural responses could have improved mental hospital design internationally.","PeriodicalId":29747,"journal":{"name":"Health and History","volume":"19 1","pages":"20 - 43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43260408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
