How to Get Better Sleep When You Have IBD
A lot of people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have trouble sleeping. By some estimates, roughly 75% of people with IBD experience sleep disturbances such as trouble falling asleep, trouble staying asleep, and poor overall sleep quality. Meanwhile, surveys of IBD patients have found that poor sleep tends to be the top contributor to quality-of-life issues.
The fact that so many people with IBD experience problems sleeping is bad news for a number of reasons. For one thing, a lot seems to go wrong with the human mind and body when sleep is inadequate; sleep disorders such as insomnia are strongly linked to an increas...

The science of near-death experiences, 1979
More and more people were glimpsing light at the end of the tunnelIn April 1979, theObserver peeped behind the veil at near-death experiences. Improved cardiac care and the fact that ‘even boy scouts are now taught cardio-pulmonary resuscitation’ meant more people were glimpsing a bright light at the end of a tunnel – or something else – before being dragged back into this realm by medical science.NDEs fell into two broad categories, the article explained. First, ‘transcendence’, described as ‘the passage of consciousness into a foreign region or dimension’, but also encompassing that ‘life flashing befor...

Exploring valuation practices in diagnosis-as-category: The rising dominance of clinical practice in the categorisation of Sepsis, 1991-2016.
This article contributes to the sociology of diagnosis by exploring how an acute medical condition, sepsis, was categorised over a 25-year period. We focus on publications reporting the outcomes of three consensus conferences that were convened to stabilise definitions of sepsis and on the failure of a controversial drug. We also focus on the category of severe sepsis by exploring why it was considered useful when introduced in 1991 but redundant by 2016. Drawing on insights from the sociology of valuation, our analysis of pivotal events within this period involving actors from clinical practice, biomedical science, regula...

What to Know About Infusion Therapy for IBD
The human gastrointestinal tract can be a hostile place for visitors. It’s filled with digestive acids and microorganisms that rapidly break down swallowed bits of food, and it can be just as rough on non-food molecules. That includes some of the latest drugs for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). “Some medications that target the immune system don’t work if they’re swallowed because your gut would digest them like a piece of steak,” says Dr. Gilaad Kaplan, a gastroenterologist, IBD researcher, and professor of medicine at the University of Calgary in Canada. “You have to...
