Résumé :

Yaa Gyasi’s Homegoing presents the horrific sequences of black women’s experience throughout history. Such experience encompasses the plights—both mundane and spectacular—of women’s marginalization and deprivation. Gyasi’s narrative style, by turns historical and racially intimate, evokes common themes of misogynoir; and her novel abounds with deprived protagonists and androcentric entities. Focusing on black women’s experience, this study theoretically attempts to explore the concept of feminist “courageous code” as an antithesis of misogynoir to empower their social equality and self-autonomy. The study critically considers how Gyasi utilizes a historical aesthetic narrative in her writing to critique and unravel the unspeakable oppression experienced by black women. Interpreting the intersection of literary oppression and theoretical “courageous code,” this study argues that Gyasi’s Homegoing bridges the gap between the oppressed black women and patriarchal stereotyping, reinforcing the fictional expectations of her largely gender equality. The study, therefore, seeks to find authenticity, look for female subjectivity and self-autonomy; and it anticipates abjection of misogynoir and all its implications via feminist “courageous code.”

Résumé :

Abstract Abstract 2982 Poster Board II-958 Pregnancy complications such as recurrent miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), and preeclampsia are common and have been associated with thrombophilia. However racial differences are poorly described for this population. The objective of this study was to determine racial differences in unexplained adverse pregnancy outcome among women obtaining care in the CDC Thrombosis and Hemostasis Centers Research and Prevention Network. Uniform data were prospectively collected from August 2003 to March 2009 in consenting women with a history of adverse pregnancy outcome obtaining care at Network Centers for pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, or postpartum consultation and/or management. Data from 407 women (mean age 38.5 ±12 yrs), including 326 white women (mean age 39.4 ± 12 yrs), and 60 black women (mean age 33.9 ± 11 yrs) were analyzed. Black women had significantly more second trimester pregnancy losses compared to white women (35% vs 22%, p=0.03) but the proportions of 1st trimester losses, 3rd trimester losses, IUGR, prematurity, abruption, and preeclampsia were not significantly different. The risk of thrombophilia differed by race, with Factor V Leiden mutation more common in white women compared to black women (19% vs 3%, p=0.002). Protein S deficiency was more common in black women compared to white women overall (15% vs 5%, p=0.006) and in the subgroup of non-pregnant women (14% vs 5%, p=0.04). There was no significant difference in the proportion of white and black women with antiphospholipid antibodies. Among 285 women evaluated when non-pregnant, body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 was more frequent in black women (83%) compared to white women (63%) (p=0.04). Overall, black women had a significantly higher proportion with hypertension (27% vs 11%, p=0.002) and sickle cell disease (7% vs 0,%, p< 0.001). There was no significant racial difference in history of pregnancy associated, provoked, or idiopathic venous thromboembolism (VTE). A family history of thrombophilia (6% vs 0%, p=0.05), VTE (22% vs 7%, p=0.005), myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke (12% vs 0%, p=0.0042) was significantly more common in white women compared to black women (overall 32% vs 8%, p<0.0002). This study demonstrates that comorbidities including hypertension, sickle cell disease and BMI≥25 are more prevalent in black women with adverse pregnancy outcomes whereas white women have a higher prevalence of Factor V Leiden mutation, and positive family history of thrombophilia, VTE, MI, and stroke. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Résumé :

The article aims to reconstruct the history of women who created female Soviet samizdat Woman and Russia and magazine Maria. They are examples of a postsoviet woman who needs to find a place for herself in the new Russian reality after the fall of the Eastern Block. Despite her experience in dissident activity she cannot find her place in the new women`s movement in Russia. The Russian women’s movement in 90’s had two main sources: women organizations originating from the Soviet times and the Russian feminist research institutes, which were cooperating with Western feminist organizations. Despite big popularity of women`s organization in the beginning nowadays Russia has got a problem with poor social and political activity of Russian women. The author of the article indicates several reasons for such a situation.

Résumé :

This study explores Morrison’s A Mercy as a palimpsest, both in terms of its adoption of multiple narrators and in the way, landscape is layered with vestiges of history, myths, and most importantly, with traces of black women creativity. Reading landscape in Morrison’s novel as a multi-textured palimpsest entails an assessment of the interplay of ethnicity and gender in the novel. This study finds in Alice Walker’s employment of the symbolic connotations of the “garden” to depict the creativity of black women discussed in her book In Search of Our Mother’s Garden (1984) a theoretical framework for interpreting Florens’s creativity in reading the land and the development of her identity in relation to the natural realm. This study also explores the palimpsestic aspects in Morrison’s text both synchronically and diachronically. The diachronic aspect examines the way Morrison’s A Mercy delves into history towards earlier representations of the American landscape and shows how her text reads and overwrites others. As a model of intertextuality, the palimpsest enables Morrison to overwrite the writings of American Transcendental figures such as Emerson and Thoreau, who have gained precedence in writing and visualizing the American landscape. Conversely, the synchronic angle addresses the implications of Morrison’s adoption of multiple voices, which are laid over each other and either rival or endorse each other in the form of a palimpsest. Reading each experience as a separate layer reveals other minor embedded layers that surface through Morrison’s stylistic language and evocation of smells and colours.

Résumé :

Objectives Despite the morbidity associated with late preterm and early-term births, there is limited data on pregnant women's perception of neonatal risk based on gestational age (GA). Therefore, our objective was to determine pregnant women's perception of neonatal risks at varying GAs. Method Through an anonymous 24-question survey, pregnant women were asked to designate the GA at delivery that is desirable, safe, and defined as full term. Responses were compared based on race, history of preterm birth, and medical comorbidities. Results Among the 233 survey respondents, the majority (62.9%) desired delivery at 36 to 39 weeks' gestation. Black women were more likely to desire delivery at 28 to 35 weeks compared with other racial/ethnic groups (p = 0.005). Women with a history of preterm birth or medical complications were less likely to desire delivery at 40 weeks. More than 40% of respondents thought delivery at 8 months of pregnancy was safe and 40.3% responded that 37 weeks' gestation is considered term. Conclusion Misconceptions surrounding the definition of a term pregnancy are pervasive and vary by race, obstetric history, and medical comorbidities. Our findings highlight the need for patient education about appropriate gestational length, especially in minority and high-risk populations.

Résumé :

Objective: To assess the predicted performance of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG)’s recommended endometrial thickness (ET) of ≥4mm via transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) for a simulated cohort of US Black women with postmenopausal bleeding (PMB).Methods: We used endometrial cancer parameters from ET studies upon which guidelines are based, as well as documented population characteristics of US Black women, to simulate a cohort of US Black women with PMB. Annual endometrial cancer (EC) prevalence overall and by histology type (I and II), history and current diagnosis of uterine fibroids, and visibility of endometria were estimated. Sensitivity analyses were performed to assess performance changes with quality of baseline parameters and impact of fibroids on ET visibility.Main Outcome Measures: Performance characteristics of 3+, 4+, and 5+mm ET thresholds were assessed including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curves, and the area under the curve (AUC).Results: In the main model with the 4+mm recommended threshold, TVUS ET showed a sensitivity of 47.5% (95% CI: 46.0-49.0%); specificity of 64.9% (95% CI: 64.4-65.3%); PPV of 13.1% (95% CI: 12.5-13.6%); NPV of 91.7% (95% CI: 91.4-92.1%), and AUC of .57 (95% CI: .56-.57).Conclusions: Among a simulated cohort of US Black women, the recommended 4+mm ET threshold to trigger diagnostic biopsy for EC diagnosis performed poorly, with more than 50% of cases missed and an 8-fold higher frequency of false negative results than reported for the general population.

Résumé :

IntroductionIn the UK people of black ethnicity experience a disproportionate burden of HIV and STI. We aimed to assess the association of ethnicity with sexual risk behaviours (SRB) and sexual health among heterosexual men and women.MethodsAURAH is a cross-sectional questionnaire study of people without HIV, recruited in 20 GUM clinics in England 2013–14. We assessed the association of ethnicity with (i) condomless sex with non-regular partner(s) (CLS-NR); (ii) ≥2 new partners in the last year (2NPLY); and (iii) STI diagnosis in the past year (STI) using modified poisson regression adjusted for age, study region, education and relationship status.Results1075 heterosexual men (n=451) and women (n=624) completed questionnaires. Ethnicity was as follows: 513 (48.4%) black/mixed African (BA), 159 (15.0%) black/mixed Caribbean (BC), 288 (27.1%) white ethnicity (WE), 101 (9.5%) other ethnicity (OE).Abstract O32 Table 1AURAHAdjusted PR (95%CI)CLS–NR2NPLYSTI within last yearWomen: White BA BC OE10.65(0.49–0.85)0.78(0.55–1.10)0.66(0.39–1.13)10.36(0.27–0.48)0.39(0.25–0.61)0.60(0.37–0.99)10.92(0.61–1.38)1.47(0.95–2.28)1.23(0.68–2.23)Men: White BA BC OE11.05(0.83–1.32)1.02(0.73–1.44)0.69(0.43–1.09)10.77(0.62–0.96)0.85(0.62–1.16)1.29(1.03–1.61)11.14(0.75–1.73)1.76(1.10–2.82)0.59(0.24–1.43)Compared with WE women BA women were less likely to report CLS-NR, BA and BC women were less likely to report 2NPLY, and BC women were more likely to report STI. In men CLS-NR did not vary significantly by ethnicity. BA men were less likely to report 2NPLY and BC men were more likely to report STI compared with WE men.DiscussionThe prevalence of SRBs was lower in black ethnicity women, but history of STI was more prevalent among BC women. Similarly, higher STI history in BC men was not consistent with ethnic variation in SRB. Additional factors, e.g. sexual networks, may be important determinants of sexual health.

Résumé :

Abstract Purpose of the study Cancer and cardiovascular disease are leading causes of death in the United States and share modifiable risk factors. Increasing ideal cardiovascular health indicated by the American Heart Association’s Life’s Simple 7 metrics (LS7: blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, body mass index, physical activity, and smoking) and cancer screening adherence are both associated with reducing cancer-related mortality. However, there have been no studies to identify associations between LS7 and cancer screening adherence. It is well documented that people adopting positive health behaviors like physical activity and healthy eating have higher cancer screening adherence. Unfortunately, disparities by race exist in both engagement in health behaviors (key metrics of LS7) and cancer screening. Cancer screening disparities between Black and White women have narrowed over time; however, there are disparities in LS7 attainment by race. Here, we examined the association of LS7 attainment with screen detectable cancer (breast, cervical, and colorectal) adherence in Black women. Methods The Partnering in Negating Statistics (P.I.N.S.) for Black Women Initiative promotes health and wellness among Black women. Its community wellness events provide health education, screenings (e.g., breast, cervical, and cardiovascular health), and research participation opportunities. At P.I.N.S. events, LS7 metrics (score range 0-14) and self-reported cancer screening history were collected. The associations of LS7 with cancer screening adherence were examined using multinomial logistic regression adjusting for age, income, and education. Results In 2021 and 2022, 296 Black women participated in cardiovascular health screenings. They had a mean age of 50.1 years (SD 14.1); 66% employed; 88% insured; 69% with educational attainment ≥ college. The 166 participants with complete LS7 data had intermediate cardiovascular health with a median score of 8 [7-10]. In age adjusted models, a 1-unit increase in LS7 attainment was associated with a 45% higher odds of breast cancer screening adherence (OR 1.45, 95%CI: 1.03, 2.05; n=93), which was similar with full adjustment (OR 1.50, 95% CI: 0.95, 2.39; n=91). There was no association of LS7 attainment with cervical (OR 1.09, p=0.40; n=124) or colorectal cancer (OR 1.05, p=0.70; n=84) screening adherence. Conclusions In community-dwelling Black women, increasing LS7 attainment may increase odds of breast cancer screening adherence. Research with a larger sample is needed. Citation Format: Timiya S.

Résumé :

AbstractFlorid cemento-osseous dysplasia consists of a group of fibro-osseous lesions with multiquadrant involvement, generally seen in the tooth-bearing portions of the mandible. These lesions are most common in middle-aged black women and rare in the Indian population, with only five cases been documented in the international literature in the Indian population. This manuscript presents a case of a 60-year-old female patient, who presented with a history of nonhealing extraction socket for 2 years and on examination demonstrated ulcerated alveolar mucosa with exposed necrotic bone. Panoramic and computed tomography images revealed multiple homogenous radio-opacities throughout the jaws. The lesion was diagnosed as florid cemento-osseous dysplasia on the basis of clinical and radiologic examination. The patient was prescribed antibiotics with iodoform dressings and proper oral hygiene maintenance.

Résumé :

Society meticulously control the establishment of the family institution. They operate these control mechanisms through social norms and rituals. In the cultures of societies that develop detailed norms and rituals in the formation of family, there are concerns that children should grow up under the supervision of parents. They also socially mark fatherhood rights through these rituals. To ease this anxiety within the scope of norms, society defines each stage of marriage, engagement, marriage, and divorce. Rites of passage also point to the beginning of life‟s stages and promise statuses to the individuals. Furthermore, they are dramatic guidebooks that reflect society‟s shared beliefs and values formed around gender, status, and age within their socio-cultural dimensions. In my research, the marriage transition ritual compiled during fieldwork conducted in Bartın and Karabük, located in the Black Sea Region of Turkey, focused on the ritual celebration of womanhood in the frame of social norms. The volunteer informants who participated in my research were chosen among the women who were the last actors of the veil ritual. In this context, my fieldwork's result also represents the social memory formed around the way. During the fieldwork, I recorded the oral history of the way abandoned in modern times. Since oral history focuses on the experiences of social actors, I aimed to present the reflection of the veil rituals in the social memory of women who are the last practitioners of the ritual.

Résumé :

Phillis Wheatley, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Langston Hughes, Audre Lorde, Lucille Clifton… It was when I met you through your poetry, that I found out… words can lift off the page… and lift me. My heart. My history. My spirit. My consciousness… -Revelation! As an African-American woman, poetry is integral to how I see, understand, and make meaning of the world. My first teacher, my mother, taught me about the world and her/our history through poetry. By extension, my greatest teachers, the scholars to whom I often turn, are artists. Incorporating poetic reflexivity into my research engages a Black epistemology and challenges the rigid notion(s) of what (and who) constitutes academic/scholarly writing. In this essay, I argue that poetry – which I use expansively here - allows qualitative researchers to reveal, distill, and illuminate their thoughts and findings. In the Black MAP research project (www.thebmp.org) - designed as an online historic archive of black aesthetics as healing, resistance, and liberatory practice - poetry sits at the core and fills the soul of the work. My essay will draw from the archive, the assemblage, and the offerings of participants.

Résumé :

Abstract Women have a 1-in-8 lifetime risk of breast cancer. Earlier diagnosis and treatment advances have improved 15- and 20-year survival rates. Increased survival can mean coping with the effects of cancer and its treatment over an extended period of time, while experiencing age-related changes in functioning and the emergence of other health issues. To explore breast cancer survivors’ perspectives on their issues and concerns across the life-course, focus groups were conducted with a culturally diverse sample (N=18) of survivors (72% white, 28% Black, 11% Hispanic). Participants were 44-82 years old. Most, 83% were 50 and older, 56% were 60 and older. The majority (83%) were diagnosed in their 40’s and 50’s. Two were diagnosed in their early 30’s and one at age 68. Participants reaffirmed the necessity, as a breast cancer survivor, of being a life-long health advocate on their own behalf, and the importance of being self-informed. As one woman commented: “Knowledge is power”. Survivors shared that their emergent health issues were complicated by their cancer history, and, that, as a cancer survivor, “I never stop worrying”. A widespread concern was not knowing if the health issues and co-morbidities they experienced (such as joint pain, neuropathy, tendinitis, heart disease), were age-related, a consequence of their cancer, or a late treatment effect. An overriding sentiment expressed was that clinicians have not recognized the importance of quality of life in cancer survival. As a survivor succinctly stated: “We are living longer, but we need to live long with quality of life.”

Résumé :

AbstractIn present-day obstetrics, cesarean delivery occurs in one in three women in the United States, and in up to four of five women in some regions of the world. The history of cesarean section extends well over four centuries. Up until the end of the nineteenth century, the operation was avoided because of its high mortality rate. In 1926, the Munro Kerr low transverse uterine incision was introduced and became the standard method for the next 50 years. Since the 1970’s, newer surgical techniques gradually became the most commonly used method today because of intraoperative and postpartum benefits. Concurrently, despite attempts to encourage vaginal birth after previous cesareans, the cesarean delivery rate increased steadily from 5 to 30–32% over the last 10 years, with a parallel increase in costs as well as short- and long-term maternal, neonatal and childhood complications. Attempts to reduce the rate of cesarean deliveries have been largely unsuccessful because of the perceived safety of the operation, short-term postpartum benefits, the legal climate and maternal request in the absence of indications. In the United States, as the cesarean delivery rate has increased, maternal mortality and morbidity have also risen steadily over the last three decades, disproportionately impacting black women as compared to other races. Extensive data on the prenatal diagnosis and management of cesarean-related abnormal placentation have improved outcomes of affected women. Fewer data are available however for the improvement of outcomes of cesarean-related gynecological conditions. In this review, the authors address the challenges and opportunities to research, educate and change health effects associated with cesarean delivery for all women.

Résumé :

Abstract Background: Racial disparities among patients with breast cancer in the United States are well documented, with Black patients having a 40% higher mortality than White patients. Socioeconomic status, tumor biology differences, and treatment access are known contributing factors. Additionally, despite having a higher incidence of TNBC, Black patients are substantially less likely to receive gBRCA1/2mut testing than White patients. TNBC is an aggressive subtype, accounting for 15% of all breast cancers diagnosed in the United States. TNBC disproportionately affects BRCA mutation carriers and Black women. With the advent of poly ADP-ribose polymerases inhibitors (PARPi), gBRCA1/2mut are considered actionable biomarkers. Limited data are available on the impact of race on clinical outcomes among patients with gBRCA1/2-mutated advanced TNBC in the United States. Methods: US oncologists retrospectively reviewed patient charts (July 2019-June 2020) of a quasirandom selection of patients aged ≥18 years with gBRCA1/2-mutated advanced TNBC who received ≥1 cytotoxic chemotherapy (CT) regimen for advanced TNBC between Jan 2013-April 2018. Patients were categorized into 2 mutually exclusive cohorts of White and Black (based on self-identification). Descriptive analysis was performed for treatment patterns for the first 2 lines of therapy (LOT). Clinical outcomes (progression-free survival [PFS] by LOT and survival rates) were estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method. A log-rank test was used to assess differences in PFS and survival rates between White and Black patients. Results: Among 182 patients with gBRCA1/2-mutated advanced TNBC, 99.5% were women and 76.4% were White. The median age was 57.2 years (range, 48.7-64.7 years), and 30.2% had no known family history of BRCA-related cancer. Treatments for White patients with advanced TNBC included first-line (n=139) nonplatinum-based CT (61.9%) and platinum-based CT (38.1%) and second-line (n=90) PARPi (40.0%), nonplatinum-based CT (43.3%), platinum-based CT (11.1%), and other (5.6%). Treatments for Black patients with advanced TNBC included first-line (n=43) nonplatinum-based CT (60.5%) and platinum-based CT (39.5%) and second-line (n=19) PARPi (47.4%), nonplatinum-based CT (31.6%), platinum-based CT (10.5%), and other (10.5%). Across treatment types, no significant difference in 2-year survival rates was observed between White and Black patients (73.8% vs 73.2%, P=0.89). Median PFS rates by LOT were not statistically different across White and Black patients (Table 1). Conclusion: In this real-world study, no significant differences in clinical outcomes were observed between White and Black patients with gBRCA1/2-mutated advanced TNBC. This observation may be because this sample reflects a select patient population with a known genetic test result of a gBRCA1/2mut who were treated by oncologists that understood the value of genetic testing, and provided appropriate treatment options. The findings suggest that when all patients are provided with equitable care (inclusive of genetic testing), racial disparities in breast cancer may be minimized. Further trials are needed to validate these findings.

Résumé :

The creator, Kenja McCray, is an Associate Professor of History at Atlanta Metropolitan State College (AMSC), where she teaches United States and African American history. AMSC is an institution within the University System of Georgia offering an affordable liberal arts education and committed to serving a diverse, urban student population. McCray has a B.A. from Spelman College, an M.A. from Clark Atlanta University, and a Ph.D. from Georgia State University. Her areas of interest are the 19th and 20th century U. S., African Americans, Africa and the diaspora, transnational histories, women, class and social history. The creator of this essay believes education should be a life-altering process, not only in the intellectual or the economic sense, but also cognitively uplifting. She experienced personal change in college through interacting with professors. She strives to give students a similarly inspirational experience. The encounter should be empowering and should change the way they see themselves and their relationships to the world. The intent of this creative piece is to share the creator’s contemplations on a rites of passage program in which she participated during her college years. She asserts that, given current cultural trends signaling a renewed interest in African-centered ideals and black pride, many aspects of the program could interest current students looking for safe spaces in increasingly intolerant times. This essay will interest researchers, student leaders, student activities advisors, and other administrators seeking to create and develop inclusive campus programs.

Résumé :

Living among the Whites has caused many problems for the Blacks throughout the history. African Americans, who are African in their roots and American in their life, as opposite races, are segregated from the White’s societies due to their colored skin. They are considered as uncivilized and lowbrow people who do not have equal rights to the Whites. Thus, racial segregation acting like a veil, as Du Bois refers to, brings African Americans a dual identity which leads to their double consciousness. Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, written in 1960, further to its depiction of racial prejudice and discrimination issues of American society in 1930’s, pictures the life of a minor character named Calpurnia as a black woman who lives with a white family and has the role of a mother for the white children. Therefore, living among the Whites and the Blacks at the same time leads her to a double consciousness, which is the result of segregation. Thus, using W. E. B. Du Bois’ concepts of “veil” and “double consciousness”, in this study it has been tried to investigate the inner as well as the outer truth of African Americans’ life and their merged identity under the impact of racism.

Résumé :

Background: The subcutaneous (S) implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is safe and effective for sudden cardiac death prevention. However, patients in previous S-ICD studies had fewer comorbidities, had less left ventricular dysfunction, and received more inappropriate shocks (IAS) than in typical transvenous ICD trials. The UNTOUCHED trial (Understanding Outcomes With the S-ICD in Primary Prevention Patients With Low Ejection Fraction) was designed to evaluate the IAS rate in a more typical, contemporary ICD patient population implanted with the S-ICD using standardized programming and enhanced discrimination algorithms. Methods: Primary prevention patients with left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35% and no pacing indications were included. Generation 2 or 3 S-ICD devices were implanted and programmed with rate-based therapy delivery for rates ≥250 beats per minute and morphology discrimination for rates ≥200 and <250 beats per minute. Patients were followed for 18 months. The primary end point was the IAS-free rate compared with a 91.6% performance goal, derived from the results for the ICD-only patients in the MADIT-RIT study (Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial–Reduce Inappropriate Therapy). Kaplan-Meier analyses were performed to evaluate event-free rates for IAS, all-cause shock, and complications. Multivariable proportional hazard analysis was performed to determine predictors of end points. Results: S-ICD implant was attempted in 1116 patients, and 1111 patients were included in postimplant follow-up analysis. The cohort had a mean age of 55.8±12.4 years, 25.6% were women, 23.4% were Black, 53.5% had ischemic heart disease, 87.7% had symptomatic heart failure, and the mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 26.4±5.8%. Eighteen-month freedom from IAS was 95.9% (lower confidence limit, 94.8%). Predictors of reduced incidence of IAS were implanting the most recent generation of device, using the 3-incision technique, no history of atrial fibrillation, and ischemic cause. The 18-month all-cause shock-free rate was 90.6% (lower confidence limit, 89.0%), meeting the prespecified performance goal of 85.8%. Conversion success rate for appropriate, discrete episodes was 98.4%. Complication-free rate at 18 months was 92.7%. Conclusions: This study demonstrates high efficacy and safety with contemporary S-ICD devices and programming despite the relatively high incidence of comorbidities in comparison with earlier S-ICD trials. The inappropriate shock rate (3.1% at 1 year) is the lowest reported for the S-ICD and lower than many transvenous ICD studies using contemporary programming to reduce IAS.

Résumé :

Introduction. Coronavirus infection may cause numerous complications in pregnant women, as well as an increased risk for the fetus. Disseminated intravascular coagulation and other coagulopathies can be caused by coronavirus disease 2019 infection. Case Report. A 22-year-old primigravida presented with a nineday history of dry cough, myalgia, nausea and fever. A nasopharyngeal swab for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection was positive. The patient?s condition rapidly deteriorated, resulting in severe liver damage and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Fetal cardiotocography showed a silent curve with late decelerations, while the umbilical artery Doppler showed end-diastolic block, indicating a fetal distress. Emergency cesarean section was performed at 28+5 weeks of gestation. After the cesarean section, the patient was treated with blood derivatives, thromboprophylaxis and supportive therapy and recovered quickly. Unfortunately, the premature infant died three hours after birth. Conclusion. It is very important to simultaneously monitor the parameters of the mother?s coagulation system, as well as the condition of the fetus, because there is a possibility of developing coagulopathies, including disseminated intravascular coagulation.

Résumé :

On September 19, 1922, Beulah M., a thirty-year-old cook, saved a “small child from a vicious cow on Angola.” This event occurred only a few months after her admission to the Louisiana State Penitentiary (LSP), where she was serving a life sentence for alleged murder. The infant was one of the many of the white prison staff's children raised on the penitentiary plantation nestled in a large meander of the Mississippi river. This happy-ending drama featuring a Black woman prisoner and a free white child arose from the “cohabitation” of free white households within the incarcerated population. The incident, quite unexpected in a carceral setting, prompted the penitentiary general manager to place Beulah M. on the “eligibility list” for parole and to grant her “full single good time for meritorious service,” which meant the possibility of an earlier release by a few months. Beulah's action might also have motivated authorities to assign her to be “servant” in the Camp D Captain's house in July 1923, and later to be a nurse in the nine-bedroom “Big House,” occupied by one of the penitentiary staff of higher rank. The peculiar nature of her alleged crime, the beating to death of her seven-year-old Black step-daughter, was apparently not perceived as a deterrent to entrust her to care for white children. Her courageous action toward a white child at Angola might even have been a compelling argument for her early pardon and discharge, which she received only after nine years at Angola, although her plea for a pardon had been rejected at least once before. Beulah M.'s story is the story of a coerced African American domestic laborer in white homes, rewarded for her perceived subservience to the Jim Crow order. It exemplifies one aspect of Black women's experiences of hard labor for the state of Louisiana during the first half of the twentieth century.

Résumé :

Abstract Background: Polygenic risk scores (PRS) have been shown to provide genomically informed breast cancer risk assessment in both carriers and non-carriers of predisposing genetic mutations. Risk stratification is further improved by combining a PRS with risk models incorporating traditional risk factors to generate a Combined Risk Score (CRS). We recently developed and validated a breast cancer PRS for women of diverse ancestries using ancestry-informative genetic markers. Here, we combine the diverse ancestry PRS with a clinical and family history-based model to develop an integrated genomically-informed and ancestrally unbiased risk assessment tool. Methods: The study sample included women in the U.S. without a personal history of breast cancer, referred for clinical genetic testing between June 2020 and March 2021, and who tested negative for pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in breast cancer susceptibility genes. A CRS, incorporating a validated PRS and the TC model, was generated using a previously described Fixed-Stratified method that accounts for association between PRS and clinical risk factors. Association between the PRS and each clinical risk factor included in the Tyrer-Cuzick (TC) breast cancer risk model (version 7) was tested using linear regression with PRS as the dependent variable and the TC factor as an independent variable with adjustment for age and ancestry. We examined the rate of reclassification resulting from incorporation of PRS into the CRS by classifying women as having high (>20%) remaining lifetime risk (RLR) versus low (≤20%) RLR according to both TC and CRS. Results: Among 68,803 women, 21,500 (31.2%) had one or more first degree relatives (FDR) with breast cancer. Approximately 10% of women reported only African ancestry and a similar percentage reported only Hispanic/Latina ethnicity (Table 1). Family history was significantly associated with PRS (p=1.0x10-76). After adjusting for multiple testing, no other factors showed significant association with PRS. Improved risk stratification of CRS over TC follows from two results: (1) We previously showed that PRS improved risk stratification above and beyond family history; (2) In the present study, PRS was not associated with any TC factor other than family history. Adding the PRS to the TC model significantly altered breast cancer risk estimates for women of all ancestries, with 17.3% of patients stratified differently by CRS versus TC alone. Differences in risk stratification (using the 20% threshold) for each self-reported ancestry are presented in Table 1. The CRS classified fewer patients (32.0%) as high RLR than the TC model alone (35.4%), with similar results for 5-year risk estimates. Conclusions: This is the first genomically-informed, integrated polygenic and traditional breast cancer risk model for US women referred for contemporary clinical genetic testing. This model advances the PRS component of a previously validated combined model. It effectively estimates 5-year and lifetime risk for breast cancer using a PRS with an objectively genetically determined ancestral composition, calibrated and validated for risk stratification in all ancestries. The model may reliably and responsibly inform risk reduction strategies such as enhanced surveillance and use of preventive medications.

Résumé :

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Cytopenia, defined as low counts in 2 or more blood cell lines is commonly associated with nutritional deficiencies, medications and chronic inflammation. In some individuals, cytopenia may reflect a pre-malignant condition or precursor of hematologic cancer. We recently demonstrated that cytopenia is associated with increased risk of mortality and was predictive of stroke risk in Black individuals (Blacks). In the current study, we sought to determine the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics associated with incident cytopenia in a large biracial prospective study, REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS). METHODS: The REGARDS study recruited 30,239 Black and White individuals ≥45 years in the United States (US) between 2003 and 2007 (44% Black, ~50% females, 56% living in the southeast US). Socio-demographics and medical history were obtained by telephone interview and self-administered questionnaires, and laboratory studies (including complete blood count [CBC]) from an in-home visit at baseline and at a 10 year follow up visit. Cytopenia was defined as presence of 2 or more of the following: i) Hemoglobin in age-, sex-, and race-specific ≤5th percentile; ii) White cell count in race-specific ≤5th percentile; iii) Platelet count in ≤5th percentile, and iv) Macrocytosis (mean corpuscular volume [MCV] >98fL), due to known differences in CBC based on these demographic characteristics. We excluded participants without CBC at study enrollment and at the 2nd follow up visit, those who had cytopenia at baseline or died before the 10 year follow up visit, yielding an analytic sample of 8,081 participants. Baseline characteristics of those with or without incident cytopenia were tabulated and compared using Chi-Square tests or t-tests. Multivariable logistic regression using a purposeful selection algorithm was performed to identify factors independently associated with incident cytopenia. RESULTS: Incident cytopenia occurred in 213 of 8,081 (2.6%) participants, with the highest incidence in White men ≥65 years (4.6%) and the lowest incidence in Black women <65 years (1.0%). Baseline factors univariately associated with cytopenia are shown in Table 1. The purposeful selection algorithm yielded a multivariable model including the following factors associated with incident cytopenia: older age, male sex, White race, heavy alcohol intake, coronary heart disease, abnormal blood counts at baseline visit including lower white count, lower platelet count, lower hemoglobin and high MCV (all p<0.05) (Table 2). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for this model was 0.81. CONCLUSION: In this large biracial cohort, the incidence of cytopenia was 2.6% over 10 years. Adjusting for baseline blood counts, risk factors for cytopenia included older age, male sex, White race, heavy alcohol intake and coronary heart disease. Baseline blood counts were also important predictors. This study provides valuable insights into the pattern of abnormal blood counts and the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics associated with incident cytopenia. Research is ongoing to define the cause(s) of cytopenia including the role of clonal mutations in the peripheral blood of this population. Figure 1 Figure 1.

Résumé :

Abstract Few studies have described the association between lifetime smoking exposures and young-onset breast cancer (YOBC) risk by BC subtypes including the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) subtype. This study explored associations between lifetime cumulative cigarette smoking exposure from both secondhand smoke (SHS) and personal smoking exposures and YOBC risk, overall and by BC subtype. Data are from the Young Women’s Health History Study, a population-based, case-control study of BC in non-Hispanic Black and White women 20-49 years of age. Invasive BC cases were identified in the Los Angeles County and Metropolitan Detroit Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry areas, 2010-2015 (n=1,812). Controls were identified through area-based sampling and frequency matched to cases by study site, race and age (n=1,381). Lifetime cumulative cigarette exposure (LCCE) was categorized as no personal or SHS exposure, only SHS exposure in childhood, only SHS exposure in adulthood, SHS exposure in childhood & adulthood, and ever personally smoked (with or without SHS exposure). BC subtypes were defined as Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2-type, and triple negative (TN) BC. We conducted multivariable adjusted sample-weighted logistic regression analysis to estimate the association between LCCE and YOBC risk among all participants and then among women who never personally smoked by duration of SHS exposure (<15 and ≥15 years). We also conducted adjusted polytomous logistic regression analyses and the Wald test to assess heterogeneity by BC subtype. Lifetime cumulative SHS exposure only was reported by 42% of participants, and an additional 37% reported personally smoking. In adjusted models, compared to no SHS, LCCE was not significantly associated with overall YOBC risk. Suggestive differences in YOBC risk by BC subtype were observed, however (P heterogeneity=0.04), with a suggestive increased odds of HER2-type BC with ever smoking (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.61; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.91, 2.86). Among participants who never smoked, duration of childhood SHS exposure was associated with differences in YOBC risk by subtype (P heterogeneity=0.01); childhood SHS exposure of ≥15 years compared to no childhood SHS was associated with a significantly decreased odds of HER2-type BC (aOR 0.31; 95% CI 0.12, 0.83) and a suggestive increased odds of TNBC (aOR 1.43; 95% CI 0.95, 2.16) while childhood SHS exposure of <15 years compared to no childhood SHS was associated with a suggestive decreased odds of Luminal A BC (aOR 0.74; 95% CI 0.54, 1.03); the latter two findings did not reach statistical significance. Our results suggest that LCCE is associated with differences in risk of YOBC by BC subtype where personal cigarette smoking may be associated with an increased risk for HER2 type YOBC while childhood SHS exposure for ≥15 years may be associated with a decreased risk of HER2 type YOBC and an increased risk of TN YOBC. These findings warrant further examination. Citation Format: Ugonna Ihenacho, Ann S. Hamilton, Wendy J. Mack, Anna H. Wu, Jennifer B. Unger, Dorothy R. Pathak, Kelly A. Hirko, Richard T.

Résumé :

233 Background: Cancer survivors are at risk for cardiac dysfunction, and ASCO guidelines recommend identifying at-risk individuals prior to treatment. South Asian women (SAW) have an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) based on their ethnicity. Management of SAW with breast cancer could be improved by understanding their use of culturally-relevant integrative therapies (IT). This study measures CVD risk factors at baseline, CVD events following treatment, and IT utilization in SAW with breast cancer. Methods: Asian Indian (AI), Pakistani (P), or Nepalese (N) women (age ≥18 years) with histologically confirmed, newly diagnosed breast cancer who received cancer-directed therapy between February 2008 and June 2021 were identified. A cohort of non-SAW was matched based on age, year, and stage at diagnosis. Clinical and treatment characteristics, CVD risk factors, and event data were collected. Based on 2017 ASCO guidelines & 2021 American College of Cardiology updates, at-risk for cardiotoxicity was defined by the receipt of anthracycline or anti-HER2 therapy and ≥1 risk factor: age ≥60 years, ejection fraction ≤55%, history of myocardial infarction, moderate valvular disease, congestive heart failure, or ≥2 lifestyle risk factors during or after treatment (tobacco use, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity [race/ethnicity specific BMI: ≥30 White; ≥28.1 Black; ≥23.9 South Asian]). McNemars test for paired nominal observations was performed to assess differences between cohorts (p < 0.05). Univariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify associations between CVD risk and IT use (p < 0.05). Results: Of 29,610 breast cancer patients with race/ethnicity data available, 33 (0.11%) were SAW (91% AI, 6% P, 3% N). Median age was 54 years and 42% had Stage 2 disease. Median follow-up was 50 months. SAW had a lower median BMI (24 vs 31 kg/m2; p = 0.004) and less tobacco (0% vs 12%) and alcohol use (13% vs 33%). At baseline, less SAW had ≥1 CVD risk factor (70% vs. 82%; p = 0.157). SAW had lower incidence of hypertension (42% vs 67%; p = 0.005) and higher incidence of diabetes (30% vs 6%; p = 0.011). Both cohorts were equally at-risk for cardiac dysfunction (18%), which was not associated with radiation therapy (p = 0.672) or post-menopausal status (p = 0.209). SAW had a higher number of subsequent CVD events (5 vs 1; p = 0.313). More SAW used IT (36% vs 24%; p = 0.206) and SAW exclusively used Ayurveda (12%) and yoga (9%). Being at-risk for cardiotoxicity was not associated with IT use (p = 0.801). Conclusions: While SAW had a higher incidence of CVD events following treatment, this did not reach significance. Risk may be driven by a higher incidence of diabetes. Larger studies with longer follow-up are needed to inform guidelines. Future interventions to modify risk should incorporate culturally-relevant IT, like Ayurveda and yoga.

Résumé :

In this paper, I focus on the representations of Black women in contrast to Black men found within Frantz Fanon’s philosophical work Black Skin, White Masks. I propose that while Fanon’s racial dialectical work is very significant, he often lacks acknowledgment of the multidimensionality of the Black woman’s lived experience specifically. Drawing on the theory of intersectionality, coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw, I argue that Fanon does not recognize the different layers of oppression operating in Black women’s lives to the degree that he fails to include them within his framework of both liberation and resistance from racial oppression.

Résumé :

Abstract Introduction: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death due to frequent diagnosis at an advanced stage, especially among underserved populations. Given the marked heterogeneity in disease course for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC), we sought to further explore its distribution of genomic alterations and outcomes across population subgroups. Methods: Clinicogenomics data were downloaded from the MSK-MET cohort study, one of the largest publicly accessible databases of metastatic cancer featuring 25775 patients in the February 2022 release. Tumor mutation burden (TMB) was quantified as number of non-synonymous mutations per megabase (Mb) sequenced. Categorical variables were compared using the χ2-test. Analysis of overall survival (OS) was performed using Cox proportional hazards regression. Results: Between 2013 and 2020, tumor and matched-normal samples from 4710 adult patients (58% female) with mNSCLC (86% adenocarcinoma) were obtained for genomic characterization. Median age at diagnosis was 67 years (IQR 59–73) and median OS was 38 months (95% CI 34–40 months). Smoking status and treatment history were unavailable. Patients self-identified as non-Hispanic white (76%), Asian (10%), Black (5%), Hispanic (4%), Native American (1%), or none of the above (1%). Compared to patients of other races, Hispanic patients were more likely to be diagnosed with mNSCLC prior to age 50 (17% vs. 7%, P<0.001); Asian patients had a higher frequency of EGFR mutations (56% vs. 22%, P<0.001), lower frequency of KRAS mutations (11% vs. 32%, P<0.001), and longer OS (HR 0.84, 95% CI 0.72–0.98, P=0.026); Black patients had greater TMB (9% vs. 5% with ≥20 mutations per Mb, P=0.019). Every actionable mutation was more common in non-squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) than SCC, except ROS1 fusions (4% vs. 7%, P<0.001). Across and within each race group, men were more likely to possess no actionable mutations compared to women (29% [range 22–67%] vs. 16% [range 5–20%], P<0.05). In multivariable analysis, male sex, diagnosis earlier than age 50 or later than age 70, non-adenocarcinoma histology, greater TMB, and absence of actionable mutations involving EGFR, ALK, MET, or RET were independently associated with worse OS (P<0.05). Conclusions: In this large clinicogenomic analysis of mNSCLC, men were more likely to have no actionable mutations and worse OS. Diagnosis prior to age 50 (most common among Hispanic patients) and greater TMB (most common among Black patients) also independently conferred worse OS. These findings highlight the wide heterogeneity of molecular features and outcomes in mNSCLC across age, sex, and race, underscoring the need to further individualize workup and management.

Résumé :

Relevance. One of the most pressing problems in dentistry today is periodontal disease. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), tooth loss from gum disease develops 5 times more often than in caries complications and is the second most common. Periodontal diseases are diagnosed in 85–95 % of the adult population of our country over the age of 35. Goal. Based on clinical data and quality of life of patients to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of Tantum Verde® in comparison with the traditional scheme. Materials and methods. Examination and comprehensive treatment of 86 young people aged 20 to 45 years (42 men and 44 women), of which 66 were patients with generalized periodontitis initial–I degree, chronic course, and 20 patients with intact periodontium. The 1st (20 patients) group included persons who get traditional periodontal treatment, the 2nd comparison group (46 patients) consisted of participants who additionally received Tantum Verde®. Objective examination of the condition of periodontal tissues was performed using indices: hygienic OHI-S, periodontal PI, papillary-marginal-alveolar PMA. Assessment of the quality of life of patients with generalized periodontitis initial–I degree, chronic course was performed using the questionnaire SF-36, adapted for patients with inflammatory periodontal diseases. Results. As a result of the treatment, positive results were achieved in both groups. Clinically, there was a thickening of the gums, no redness and swelling of the interdental papillae. A significant decrease in periodontal indices was observed in patients of both the 1st and 2nd groups. In a comparative aspect, it was noted that the reduction in OHI-S and PI was effective in all study participants, PMA – more pronounced in those who used Tantum Verde®. Patients of the second group noted an improvement in the clinical condition of periodontal tissues by 89.7 %; physical condition by 86 %; psycho-emotional state by 84.1 %; social function – by 64.7 %; from the block of questions about the peculiarities of the treatment of many patients worried about the fear of future treatment, uncertainty about the effectiveness of therapy and the use of interdental hygiene, indicators in this group decreased by 78.9 %. Conclusion. The assessment of the quality of life of patients showed that the use of Tantum Verde® gives a significant improvement in quality of life, which is manifested in a reduction in the number of exacerbations and increase the duration of remission. Key words: generalized periodontitis, periodontal tissues, quality of life, Tantum Verde®.

Résumé :

My project (Horizon 2020, 2018–20) traces Black female moviegoing in Harlem during the silent film era. The main challenge in uncovering the women’s stories is that historical paradigm has always prioritised the voices of the white, middle-class elite. In the field of Black film history, criticism expressed by male journalists—such as Lester A. Walton of New York Age—has understandably received the most attention (Everett; Field, Uplift). Black, working-class women are notoriously missing from the archive. How do we navigate historical records, with their own limits and absences? This paper argues for a broader engagement with historic artefacts—memoirs, correspondence and recollections—as necessary to re-centre film historiography towards the marginalised. It points to the ways in which we can learn from the scholars and methods of African American history to “fill in the gaps” in the study of historical spectatorship.

Résumé :

Introduction Pregnancy in sickle cell disease (SCD) is associated with an exacerbation of SCD-related complications and an increased risk of maternal complications. The increased risk is partly due to physiologic adaptations in pregnancy, which include increased metabolic demands and a hypercoagulable state. The maternal death rate for SCD is 629 per 100,000 deliveries, compared to 12 per 100,000 deliveries in black women and 6 per 100,000 deliveries in the general population (Raider et al., 2016). Studies on maternal and perinatal outcomes of patients with SCD present inconsistent and conflicting results. Some studies have reported an increase in maternal complications such as pre-eclampsia, acute chest syndrome and thromboembolic events, while other studies have reported no significant risk in adverse maternal outcomes. The inconsistent findings reported in prior studies may be attributed to small sample sizes and single-centered sites. Our study aims to determine the prevalence and predictors of maternal morbidity among participants enrolled in the SCD Implementation Consortium (SCDIC) registry, which is the largest, most geographically diverse SCD participant sample in the United States. Methods This cross-sectional study included women enrolled in the SCDIC registry who had at least one pregnancy event. The SCDIC is composed of eight academic SCD centers across the United States and one data-coordinating center. Participants were enrolled in the SCDIC registry if they were 18 to 45 years of age and had a confirmed diagnosis of SCD. Enrolled participants completed a series of surveys that collected sociodemographic information, SCD and pregnancy history and data abstractions of participants' medical records was completed. Medical complications queried during pregnancy included: vaso-occlusive episodes, acute chest syndrome, blood transfusion requirement, preeclampsia, maternal diabetes and deep venous thrombosis. Descriptive analysis of sociodemographic, clinical and maternal characteristics was conducted. Bivariate analysis was performed using Chi-Square test, Mann-Whitney U test, t-test, and logistic regressions, as appropriate. A p-value of ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant for all analysis. Results The study sample included 743 women who had at least one pregnancy event, and a total of 1066 live births. Almost all women (96.3%) were African American, with a median age of 21 years (inter-quartile range of 19 to 23 years) at first birth. The majority had Hb SS SCD genotype (69.5%; 513 of the 738 with SCD genotype data). Of all reported pregnancies, participants did not use hydroxyurea during conception (78%), and pregnancy (84.5%). Only 2.7 % of the women reported using fertility drugs or assisted reproductive procedures. Seventy five percent of the pregnancies that ended in live births had maternal complications. The leading complications were vaso-occlusive episodes (61.2%), pregnancy requiring blood transfusion(s) (33.2%), preeclampsia (15.4%), deep venous thrombosis (5.6%) and acute chest syndrome (7.7%). When the pregnancies were stratified by SCD genotype, women with Hb SS had a higher occurrence of acute chest syndrome (63.4% vs. 26.7%), transfusion requirement (70.8% vs. 21%) and preeclampsia (66.7% vs 22.4%). In the univariate logistic regressions, multiparous women, with a history of adverse maternal outcomes in a previous pregnancy, had higher odds of vaso-occlusive episodes (OR: 3.42; 95% CI: 2.42-4.94) acute chest syndrome (OR:4.99; 95% CI:2.56- 9.48), transfusion requirement (OR:3.86; 95% CI:2.64- 5.69), and pre-eclampsia (OR:3.36; 95% CI:2.05-5.45). Conclusion In this large multicenter registry, we found pregnant women with SCD have significant maternal complications. Early antenatal care by healthcare providers knowledgeable about risk factors for adverse maternal outcomes in SCD is essential improve maternal and fetal outcomes and reduce the maternal death rate for SCD.

Résumé :

Background:Some studies have suggested an increased risk of adverse health outcomes for the child of patients with Rheumatic Diseases (RD), including neurodevelopmental disorders, congenital heart defects, hematological malignancies and autoimmune diseases. It is well known that 2 to 3% of live births have a congenital defect. About 7 % of all newborn deaths are due to birth defects.Objectives:Describe Genetical Evaluation in a cohort of pregnant patients with RDMethods:We included 22 women from February to December 2019 from a Clinic of Pregnancy and Rheumatic Diseases in Hospital Universitario in Monterrey, Mexico. All spontaneous pregnancies (21 singletons, 1 double twin), with adequate prenatal control. Ten Rheumatoid Arthritis, Antiphospholipid Syndrome in 4 cases; 5 Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, 2 Sjögren’s Syndrome and a case of Dermatomyositis. In the perinatal genetics approach, medical and familial history was obtained, and pedigree was developed; ultrasound information of 12 and 22 weeks of gestation was integrated, risks for aneuploidies were adjusted according to maternal age. At birth, the dysmorphological description was made, somatometry is performed, and the newborn screening were evaluated (metabolic, hearing, cardiac). Thus, giving genetic counseling for each case.Results:Two patients were excluded, so 20 women with follow-up, 12 (60%) were born without complications or birth defects; in 3(15%) there were adverse events (a spontaneous abortion at 12 weeks-of-gestation [wg]; a fetal death in the case of twin pregnancy, at 34.1 wg, with facial asymmetry, intrauterine growth restriction; and a premature delivery, at 36.5 wg; no defects; there were 5(25%) congenital defects: a preauricular appendix, with normal renal ultrasound. A congenital heart disease (transposition of large vessels, tricuspid stenosis). A case of macrosomia (diabetic fetopathy); a heart block with perinatal pacemaker placement (mom with lupus). And in the latter case, Krabbe disease, even without confirming it.

Further research is needed to fully elucidate the potential disease-related factors that might lead to the increased risk of adverse health outcomes in offspring, as well as to improve the monitoring and control of their rheumatic diseases.References:[1]Soh, MC; Nelson-Piercy, C.

Résumé :

Based on the theoretical contribution of the New Political History, envisioning the epistemologies of the South, that is, the political and social struggles of groups and/or social movements, such as the Black Movement and Black Feminism in Brazil, this paper aims to give visibility to black women in Brazilian politics through the life trajectory and legacy of Marielle Franco, analyzing the seeds that blossomed in the 2020 Municipal Elections. According to the Atlas of Violence (2019), organized by the Institute for Applied Economic Research (IPEA) and the Brazilian Public Security Forum (FBSP), in the global context, Brazil is one of the four countries that concentrate 80 % of the murders of activists of Human rights. Considering the murder of councilwoman Marielle Franco and the driver Anderson Pedro Gomes, on March 14, 2018, structural and everyday racism, patriarchy, male chauvinism, among other practices of oppression of modernity/coloniality in contemporary times and the results of the 2020 Municipal Elections, in this text the objects of analysis are: the Marielle Franco Agenda (2020) of the Marielle Franco Institute, and the results of the Municipal Elections (2020), giving visibility to black people, specifically black women, as in Curitiba, capital of Paraná, southern Brazil.
