Abstract:

Although medical management of traumatic brain injury (TBI) may have improved in developed countries, TBI is still a major cause of mortality and morbidity. The demographics are skewed towards the younger patient population, and affects males more than females, but in general follow a bimodal distribution with peaks affecting young adults and the elderly. As a result, the loss of functional years is devastating. Pathology due to brain trauma is a complex two-hit phenomenon, frequently divided into ‘primary’ and ‘secondary’ injury. Hypoxia, ischaemia, and inflammation all play a role, and the importance of each component varies between patients and in an individual patient over time. The initial injury may increase intracranial pressure and reduce cerebral perfusion due to the presence of mass lesions or diffuse brain swelling. Further secondary insults, such as hypotension, reduced cerebral perfusion pressure, hypoxia, or fever may exacerbate swelling and inflammation, and further compromise cerebral perfusion. Although there are currently no specific effective treatments for TBI, an improved understanding of the pathophysiology may eventually lead to treatments that will reduce mortality and improve long-term functional outcome.

Abstract:

Attempted and completed suicide among older adults are global public health challenges of escalating significance. This chapter presents epidemiological data on such behaviours, and addresses the risk factors in the domains of mental health, personality, physical health and functioning, social factors (e.g. life events and social support) and neurobiological mechanisms, as derived from retrospective (mainly psychological autopsy [PA] studies) and prospective case-control studies. Suicide prevention initiatives in the elderly have taken a great stride forward in the past decade based on better understanding of the risk and protective factors. Given the complex, multi-determined nature of suicidal behaviours, further improvements will require sustained collaborations across clinicians, researchers, health administrators and politicians in different nations. Furthermore, older males are generally at higher risk of suicide than females; they tend to use more lethal means in their suicide acts, are more susceptible to the effects of bereavement and widowhood, and respond less favourably to comprehensive suicide prevention programs. Further research on the gender differences of suicidal behaviours is urgently needed, to understand the different underlying psychopathological mechanisms, and to adequately address the healthcare needs of older men, the largest group of completed suicides across the world.

Abstract:

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a common reason for physician office visits among the elderly. Predictive factors for CLBP are female sex, social isolation, hypertension, and joint pain. In the elderly, CLBP may be related to degenerative spinal stenosis with disk degeneration and overall spondylosis. A detailed medical history and a targeted, comprehensive physical examination are the initial approaches to rule out underlying disease that requires urgent attention. Clinical and evidence-based approaches to management suggest avoiding early MRI or CT, as imaging in elderly patients has proven both impractical and uneconomical. Instead, good clinical judgment should be used for making diagnoses. Consensus on the best initial approaches for managing CLBP has not yet been achieved, and conservative therapy is suggested, varying from use of pharmacologic agents, physical therapy, electrical stimulation, and physical manipulations to epidural injections. Surgical alternatives are avoided due to confounding and multiple comorbidities in older patients.

Abstract:

Lumbar spondylolisthesis typically presents as low back and/or lower extremity pain. Spondylolisthesis is most commonly observed in female patients and the elderly. Lumbar spondylolisthesis may result from congenital, isthmic, trauma-related, degenerative, and iatrogenic causes. Diagnostic imaging (radiographs, magnetic resonance imaging) and physical examination are needed to differentiate the categories of lumbar spondylolisthesis, which will assist in selecting the appropriate treatment. A customized interdisciplinary treatment plan tailored to the patient’s presentation and goals will produce clinical improvement. Surgical remediation is typically reserved for recalcitrant cases but can be effective.

Full text

Abstract:

The Little Old Lady Killer focuses on the female serial killer Juana Barraza Samperio, a Mexican lucha libre wrestler who, disguised as a government nurse, strangled sixteen elderly women in Mexico City. The search for the Mataviejitas (the killer of old women) was the first ever undertaken for a serial killer in Mexico. Following international profiling norms for serial killers, the police were initially looking for an ordinary-looking man, but after witness accounts described the Mataviejitas as wearing a wig and makeup, police changed their focus and began to search for a “travesti.” The book undertakes an analysis of the classed, gendered, and sexed transitions described in police reports and media accounts in relation to international criminological discourses and Mexican popular culture. On January 26, 2006, Juana Barraza was arrested as she fled the home of an elderly woman who had just been strangled with a stethoscope. Two years later, Barraza was convicted and sentenced to 759 years and 17 days; she remains in Santa Martha Acatitla to this day. I argue that La Dama del Silencio, Barraza’s masked wrestling identity, more than the woman herself became figured in official and popular discourse as the serial killer, La Mataviejitas. This displacement of personas reinforces national imaginaries of masculinity, femininity, and criminality. The national imaginaries of what constitutes a criminal female or male, in turn, determine crucial notions of mexicanidad within the country’s pigmentocratic culture, who counts as a victim, and how a criminal is constructed.

Abstract:

This chapter examines private elder care in a broader context of constructed kinship relations by focusing on Mexicana elder care workers in Santa Barbara, California. More specifically, it considers the case study of Cecilia Ramos, a worker who forms part of a family care group and who literally and figuratively “extends” kinship to her ward. Before discussing Cecilia's case, the chapter provides an overview of the evolving range of elder care in Santa Barbara. It also reviews the literature on domestic work and the role that personalism continues to play within the occupation, especially as it pertains to workers' expressed desires for closer “family” relations with their employers. It concludes by showing that, in the case of Cecilia, “extending” kinship assumes two meanings. First, she literally extends her own close kin relations into the workplace and facilitates friendships among her biological female kin and her ward. Second, Cecilia commits herself and her family to provide care until her ward dies.

Abstract:

This chapter explores the gendered dimension of sibling relationships, approaching the subject from both directions. Elder brothers often negotiated marriages for their sisters, and blocked matches they judged unsuitable. Many accepted a moral obligation to support sisters widowed or deserted, and to provide for those who remained single. Women in landed and professional families were very conscious of their dependency. Some were bitterly resentful, and expressions of love and devotion were prompted in part by the need to retain a brother’s support. But the chapter also explores genuinely close and affectionate ties, and the theme of female agency. It demonstrates too how women at all social levels were able to provide both practical and emotional support for their brothers. Even among the poor, young women could intervene to help a destitute or feckless younger brother. In brother–sister relationships, support flowed in both directions.

Abstract:

Chapter 5 analyzes Tacitus’s image of Boudica as a warrior woman and considers the challenges she poses to Roman conceptions of masculinity. Whereas other women and wives become observers, placed on the outskirts of the battlefield, Boudica is a commander woman (dux femina), comparable to Vergil’s Dido. Several models and antimodels emerge from Roman history and myth to color a Roman reader’s interpretation of Boudica as a dux femina, including Camilla, Cleopatra, and the women of Tacitus’s ethnographic work, the Germania. Unlike other Roman female leaders, including Fulvia, Agrippina the Elder, and Agrippina the Younger, Boudica spurs on men to prove their masculinity. Boudica’s revolt becomes an insurrection not only against servitude, but also against Roman notions of masculinity and femininity, and leadership without morality. Boudica’s sex becomes a powerful tool to rouse her troops to fight for just vengeance, and to promise to win or die trying.

Abstract:

This chapter examines the sanctified churches' contribution to the development of Chicago gospel music. Female evangelist Mattie L. Thornton is considered the organizer of Chicago's first sanctified church, the Holy Nazarene Tabernacle Apostolic Church, around 1908. By 1919, about twenty Holiness churches had been established throughout the city. This chapter first considers Holiness and Pentecostal movements with sanctified denominations that played significant roles in planting the seeds of gospel music in Chicago, including the Church of God in Christ (COGIC). It then profiles two leaders in the COGIC church community whose progeny would become important figures in gospel music: Bishop William Roberts and Elder Eleazar Lenox. It also explores how gospel music and sermon recordings became a way for sanctified churches to spread their message beyond the confines of the church walls, focusing on such artists as Arizona Dranes and preachers like Rev. William Arthur White, Rev. Ford Washington McGee, Rev. D. C. Rice, and Rev. Leora Ross.
