    Abstract Minocycline, a tetracycline antibiotic, is commonly used to treat rosacea and acne vulgaris. A rare adverse reaction of minocycline use is the development of drug-induced lupus. Fortunately, most patients recover from minocycline-induced lupus (MIL) after the drug is discontinued. However, many patients, after recovering from MIL, may desire further treatment for their acne and may consider doxycycline, a close relative of minocycline. Though no cases of doxycycline-induced lupus have been reported, there is little guidance in the medical literature as to whether doxycycline poses a particular risk to patients who have recovered from MIL. We report the long-term follow-up of a patient who recovered from MIL (the diagnosis satisfying clinical and laboratory criteria) and was treated for 8 years with various forms of doxycycline without any untoward effects, suggesting that, at least in some cases, doxycycline can be used safely following MIL.

  4. Article ; Online: The experiences of UK-based genetic counsellors working in mainstream settings.

    Abstract Most UK-based genetic counsellors (GCs) work within clinical genetics services; yet there is a small and expanding group of GCs working within other clinical specialties, termed "mainstream" GCs. To our knowledge there have been no projects to date examining the experiences of mainstream GCs working in the UK. The aim of this workforce evaluation was to explore the experiences of mainstream GCs. Online surveys were sent to mainstream GCs to obtain general demographic information and baseline data regarding experiences of working in these roles. Those who completed the surveys were then invited to take part in online focus groups. Data was transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis to draw out major themes that arose from the discussions. Major themes were found to be: "Benefits", "Challenges", "Career Progression" and "Support". Overall, participants expressed enjoyment of their roles and described key benefits of working in a clinical specialty, including autonomous working and developing expertise. Still, career progression was limited in many cases due to issues obtaining professional registration, lack of support, and unclear definition of the mainstream GC role. Findings are brought together as a list of suggestions to support this subset of the profession going forward. We hope these findings could be of utility to both employers and policymakers when advancing the national provision for mainstream genomic services.

    Abstract Syndemic theory has been useful in illuminating the co-existence and reinforcing nature of multiple health and social conditions that contribute to HIV risk. However, little research has examined syndemics among young Black gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBM) or situated syndemics within the context of racism, homonegativity, and other intersecting social inequities. Applying an intersectional framework to syndemics can help demonstrate how social and structural inequities and oppression facing young Black GBM contribute to and reinforce syndemic health conditions. In 2018, we conducted 45 in-depth qualitative interviews with young Black GBM in Milwaukee and Cleveland. Our analyses examined how intersectional stigma contributes to syndemics and HIV disparities facing young Black GBM. Our findings demonstrate that broader systems of oppression and disadvantage facing young Black GBM contribute to syndemic conditions. Future conceptualizations and measurements of syndemics must capture these experiences to strengthen our understanding of syndemics among young Black GBM.

    Abstract Previous research has demonstrated associations between experiences of microaggressions and negative mental and physical health outcomes, and national organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have acknowledged racism as a public health issue. Individuals with multiple marginalized identities, such as young Black men who have sex with men and transgender women, are commonly affected by discrimination and stigma, contributing to health disparities. One possible path by which microaggressions are linked to negative health outcomes for these groups is their impact on individuals' decisions to conceal their sexual identity, in some cases leading to increased stress and use of maladaptive coping strategies. We surveyed 280 young Black male (86%) and transgender or non-binary (14%) individuals between the ages of 16-25 years old (M = 21.68, SD = 2.73) who reported being recently sexually active with men about their experiences with intersectional microaggressions, concealment of their sexual identity, psychological distress, and substance use before and during sexual activity. Structural equation modeling revealed that experiences of microaggressions were associated with greater sexual identity concealment, and concealment partially mediated the relationship between microaggressions and psychological distress. While microaggressions were associated with greater substance use, sexual identity concealment did not mediate this relationship. Findings have implications for addressing health disparities among this population.

    Abstract Background: To support public health researchers and advocates seeking to challenge the influence of powerful commercial actors on health, it is necessary to develop a deeper understanding of corporate political activities. This project explores political science scholarship analysing lobbying to identify new datasets and research methods that can be applied to public health and stimulate further research and advocacy.
    Methods: We undertook a systematic scoping review of peer-reviewed and grey literature reports analysing the practice of lobbying. Titles and abstracts of 4533 peer-reviewed and 285 grey literature reports were screened, with 233 peer-reviewed and 280 grey literature reports assessed for eligibility. We used a two-stage process for data extraction. In stage 1, we collected two pieces of information from all included studies: data sources and indicators used to measure lobbying. For the second stage, data extraction was limited to 15 studies that focused on meetings.
    Results: The most common indicators used to measure lobbying activity were: registrations of active lobbyists; expenditure on lobbying; meetings; written comments and submissions made to government consultations; bills; and committee participation. A range of different data sources were used to analyse lobbying, including from governments, not-for-profits and commercial sources. All 15 studies analysing lobbyist meetings were from high-income contexts. The studies analysed three key variables: the types of government actors targeted by lobbying; the policies of interest; and the lobbyists and/or their clients. The studies used a range of taxonomies to classify policy issues and the types of actors engaged in lobbying. All studies discussed challenges with accessing and analysing lobbying data.
    Conclusions: There is enormous potential for public health research and advocacy concerned with commercial lobbying to learn from political science scholarship. This includes both conceptual frameworks and sources of empirical data. Moreover, the absence of good quality transparency internationally emphasises the importance of advocacy to support policy change to improve the quality of political transparency to make it easier to monitor commercial lobbying.
