    Abstract The focus of this article is a single personal narrative – a Shetland woman's telling of a story about two girls on a journey to fetch a cure for a sick relative from a wise woman. The story is treated as a cultural document which offers the historian a conduit to a past that is respectful of indigenous woman-centred interpretations of how that past was experienced and understood. The "story of the bottle of medicine" is more than a skilful telling of a local tale; it is a memory practice that provides a path to a deeper and more nuanced understanding of a culture. Applying perspectives from anthropology, oral history and narrative analysis, three sets of questions are addressed: the issue of authenticity; the significance of the narrative structure and storytelling strategies employed; and the nature of the female performance. Ultimately the article asks what this story can tell us about women's interpretation of their own history.

  4. Article: Mothers of children with food allergies report poorer perceived life status which may be explained by limited career choices.

    Abstract Pediatric food allergy is associated with direct, indirect and intangible costs. However, it remains unclear if intangible costs of pediatric food allergy influence parental career choices. Using data from 63 parents whose children had been diagnosed by a pediatric allergist with food allergy, we sought to (a) establish perceived life status of families with a food allergic child, and (b) to describe any career limitations viewed as attributable to food allergy. Compared to responding parents whose children had one to two food allergies, those with three or more food allergies had significantly poorer perceived life status (ß - 0.74; 95%CI - 1.41; - 0.07; p < 0.05). Overall, 14.3% of parents (all mothers) reported career limitations due to food allergy. Two of the 7 mothers (28.6%) who reported career limitations due to their child's food allergy fell below Statistics Canada cut-off for low-income, after tax dollars (LIM-AT). One of the three mothers who had changed jobs because of their child's food allergy was below the LIM-AT. No fathers reported food allergy-related career limitations. In conclusion, mothers of children with multiple food allergies reported worse perceived life status that may be partly explained by food allergy-related career limitations.

  5. Article ; Online: Obsolete tobacco control themes can be hazardous to public health: the need for updating views on absolute product risks and harm reduction.

    Abstract Background: Leading themes have guided tobacco control efforts, and these themes have changed over the decades. When questions arose about health risks of tobacco, they focused on two key themes: 1) how bad is the problem (i.e., absolute risk) and 2) what can be done to reduce the risk without cessation (i.e., prospects for harm reduction). Using the United States since 1964 as an example, we outline the leading themes that have arisen in response to these two questions. Initially, there was the recognition that "cigarettes are hazardous to health" and an acceptance of safer alternative tobacco products (cigars, pipes, light/lower-tar cigarettes). In the 1980s there was the creation of the seminal theme that "Cigarettes are lethal when used as intended and kill more people than heroin, cocaine, alcohol, AIDS, fires, homicide, suicide, and automobile crashes combined." By around 2000, support for a less-dangerous light/lower tar cigarette was gone, and harm reduction claims were avoided for products like cigars and even for smokeless tobacco which were summarized as "unsafe" or "not a safe alternative to cigarettes."
    Discussion: The Surgeon General in 2014 concluded that by far the greatest danger to public health was from cigarettes and other combusted products. At the same time the evidence base for smokeless tobacco and alternative nicotine delivery systems (ANDS) had grown. Product innovation and tobacco/nicotine bio-behavioral, epidemiological and public health sciences demonstrate that low nitrosamine smokeless tobacco (e.g., Swedish snus), and ANDS have substantially lower harms than cigarettes. Going forward, it is important to sharpen themes and key messages of tobacco control, while continuing to emphasize the extreme lethality of the inhaled smoke from cigarettes or from use of any combusting tobacco product. Implications of updating the leading themes for regulation, policymaking and advocacy in tobacco control are proposed as an important next step. A new reframing can align action plans to more powerfully and rapidly achieve population-level benefit and minimize harm to eliminate in our lifetime the use of the most deadly combustible tobacco products and thus prevent the premature deaths of 1 billion people projected to occur worldwide by 2100.

    Abstract Background: Individuals with 1 legume allergy may be cosensitized to other legumes and thus may potentially have other legume allergies as well. Although the use of emerging legumes (eg, pea, lentils, chickpeas) in commercial food production is increasingly common, the literature has largely focused on peanut and soy, both of which are priority allergens in Canada.
    Objective: We aimed to describe the distribution of priority and emerging legume allergies in Canada, with consideration for patient age.
    Methods: Cross-sectional survey data collected between 2019 and 2021 from families who follow food allergy-related social media platforms were queried for demographics, as well as for food allergy (including by type and number of foods and by age [0-5 vs ≥6 years]). Data were described and then analyzed by using logistic regression and adjusted for sex, age at diagnosis, and number of food allergies.
    Results: Of the 115 participating children, the majority (64.6%) were boys. Nearly all of the children (109 of 115 [94.8%]) had peanut allergy, whereas soy and emerging legume allergies were reported by 15.7% and 13.0% of the children, respectively. Of these 115 children, 85 had mono-peanut allergy, 6 had mono-soy allergy, none had emerging legume allergy in the absence of peanut or soy, 12 had peanut and emerging legume allergy, 9 had peanut and soy allergy, and 3 had peanut, soy, and emerging legume allergy. Compared with children aged 0 to 5 years, children aged 6 years or older were significantly less likely to have peanut plus soy or emerging legume allergy (odds ratio = 0.22 [95% CI = 0.05-0.94];
    Conclusion: Of the children with peanut allergy, a considerable number also had peanut allergy and soy allergy and/or another legume allergy. Younger children have higher odds of multiple legume allergy.

    Abstract Narratives of deindustrialization, urban decline and failing public housing and the negative outcomes associated with these processes dominate accounts of post-war Scotland, bolstering the interpretation of Scottish exceptionalism in a British context. Within these accounts working people appear as victims of powerful and long-term external forces suffering sustained and ongoing deleterious vulnerabilities in terms of employment, health, and housing. This article challenges this picture by focusing on the first Scottish new town which made space for working people's aspiration and new models of the self manifested in new lifestyles and social relations. Drawing on archival data and oral history interviews, we identify how elective relocation fostered and enabled new forms of identity predicated upon new housing, new social relations, and lifestyle opportunities focused on the family and home and elective social networks no longer determined by traditional class and gender expectations. These findings permit an intervention in the historical debates on post-war housing and social change which go beyond the materialistic experience to deeper and affective dimensions of the new town self.
