A Decade-Wide View Into Medical Student Professional Identity Formation Using The Career Eulogy: Are Gen Zs Different?, William J. Crump Md, Kristin L. Wickham Md, Craig Ziegler Phd, Nicholas T. Duncan Mba, Mph

Marshall Journal of Medicine

Introduction

Students born after 1996 (Gen Z) perceive themselves as distinct from millennials. Earlier surveys described Gen Z as valuing relationships, meaningful work, financial security, and happiness. Over the past decade, medical school populations have shifted from predominantly millennial to Gen Z. This study examined changes in professional identity formation across this period, using a validated career eulogy instrument.

Methods

From 2015 to 2024, 113 medical students at a rural regional medical school completed an annual career eulogy (98% participation). Students responded to the prompt: “Imagine you are retiring from medicine. In about 50 words, what would you like to …

The Glymphatic System And Sleep: Functional Relevance For Brain Homeostasis And Beyond, David Gozal

Marshall Journal of Medicine

It has been less than 15 years since the glymphatic system was identified. The discovery has revolutionized the understanding of the unique functions of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the extracellular fluid within the central nervous system (CNS) and their unique connectivity to the rest of the body. The role of sleep in regulating glymphatic clearance from the brain and the potential reciprocal role of the glymphatic system in modulating regional neuronal activities, including sleep states, is rapidly emerging. It is shedding light on the role of sleep and the glymphatic system as toxic waste clearance facilitators for the brain, revealing …

Unusual Wave Morphologies In Ulnar Neuropathy With Marinacci Anastomosis: A Case Report, Micaela Owens

Marshall Journal of Medicine

Marinacci anastomosis is a normal but rare anatomic variant of the median and ulnar nerves, consisting of an interconnection from the ulnar nerve to the median nerve within the proximal forearm. This is a case of Marinacci anastomosis occurring in the presence of both median and ulnar neuropathies, producing unusual waveform characteristics. Knowledge of normal anatomic variation can improve diagnostic accuracy in nerve conduction studies.

Ruptured Internal Mammary Artery Perforator After Reduction Mammoplasty: A Case Report, Carol Wright Becker, Abigail Roop, Daniel Sutphin, Roger Tillotson

Marshall Journal of Medicine

A 60-year-old female who was 10 days post-reduction mammoplasty presented to the emergency department due to the sudden onset of swelling and pain in her left breast. A contrast-enhanced CT scan of the chest revealed active arterial bleeding. The patient was emergently taken to the operating room, where she underwent evacuation of a large hematoma as well as ligation of a left internal mammary perforator artery. This case represents a rare occurrence of life-threatening postoperative bleeding into the chest wall/breast after reduction mammoplasty, which developed 10 days postoperatively. The successful outcome and complete recovery were attributed to the timely recognition …

Use Of Naltrexone For Treating Binge Eating And Food Obsession Related To Trauma: A Case Report And Literature Review, Rebecca K. Hicks, Iram Kingson, Jordan Gaal, Suzanne Holroyd

Marshall Journal of Medicine

Impulse-control disorders, including those related to eating behaviors, are complex conditions with limited pharmacologic treatment options. While naltrexone is primarily used for opioid and alcohol dependence, emerging research suggests it may also be effective in managing a variety of impulse-driven conditions. As a pure opioid antagonist, naltrexone’s mechanism of action involves the inhibition of opioid receptors on dopaminergic neurons involved in the reward pathway of the brain, thereby reducing the reinforcing effects of substances such as alcohol and opioids. Research suggests that through this mechanism of action, naltrexone shows promise in treating impulsive behaviors also driven by the reward pathway, …

Potential Impact Of Artificial Intelligence In Cardiovascular Medicine, Katherine Konczak, Elizabeth G. Dieter, Robert S. Dieter Ii, Robert S. Dieter Md, Rvt, Alm, Aravinda Nanjundappa Md

Marshall Journal of Medicine

Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning (ML), is increasingly transforming cardiovascular medicine by enhancing diagnostic accuracy, imaging analysis, risk prediction, and treatment planning. AI applications in imaging, such as echocardiography, cardiac computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), improve detection, automate measurements, and reduce variability. Deep learning models interpret electrocardiograms (ECGs) with high accuracy in electrophysiology, aiding early diagnosis of arrhythmias and inherited syndromes. In cardio-oncology, AI identifies cardiovascular risk markers in cancer patients and monitors therapy-related cardiotoxicity. AI-driven tools also support real-time procedural guidance and individualized therapy using electronic health records and imaging data. Despite promising outcomes, concerns …

Will There Be A Pill For That? ‘Money Dysmorphia’ And The Medicalization Of Struggles For Subsistence, Bojan Savic

Emancipations: A Journal of Critical Social Analysis

This article questions the rationality, operation, and effects of money dysmorphia as an emerging mental health diagnosis. It critiques the medicalization of financial angst amid the capitalist “polycrisis”, showing how the individuation and somatic pathologization of class subordination, socioeconomic precarity, and struggles for subsistence obscure capitalist inequalities, depoliticize them, and shield them from critique. I identify five concurrent strategies through which struggles for subsistence are medicalized: trivialization, reversal of social import, repetition, direct depoliticization, and the substitution of inequality with poverty. Furthermore, I show how the medicalizing discourse reifies money dysmorphia by constructing its social costs. The article concludes by …

Progress And Regression, Modernity And Social Evolution, José Maurício Domingues

Emancipations: A Journal of Critical Social Analysis

This paper deals with progress and evolution. Regarding progress, it in particular critically engages with recent works (Wagner, Allen, Jaeggi), arguing that we need a more assertive perspective. Our immersion in an evolutionarily and contingently created but globally established (modern) imaginary is found to underpin that more assertive perspective of progress. To articulate its perspective more generally, the paper draws upon a former elaboration on evolutionary homology and homoplasy regarding power. Thereby it tackles the development of morals/ethics, leading to a discussion of progress – and regression – including but going beyond material and cognitive issues. It grapples with evolutionary …

The Regulations Of Social Meaning In The Digital Platform Era, Peter O'Loughlin

Akron Law Review

The regulation of social meaning has traditionally been subjected to rational choice theory (RCT) perspectives in an age when the internet and technology were in nascent stages of development. Today, social meaning is being regulated in much more subtle but powerful ways by digital platforms who are leveraging behavioral economic (BE) insights to control, dictate, and reshape the social meaning of a variety of social roles, conduct, objects, and events. Whilst this form of social government (or private ordering of society’s social fabric) has obvious and desirable benefits to recalibrating society as a collective and assuaging or reversing the stereotyping …

Gender, Marginalization, And Digital Technology In Islamic Learning: A Nigerian Perspective, Abdulgafar Olawale Fahm

Journal of International Women's Studies

The integration of digital technologies has significantly transformed the landscape of Islamic education in Nigeria, enhancing accessibility to religious knowledge while simultaneously reinforcing pre-existing socio-cultural disparities. Utilizing an intersectional analytical framework, this study critically explores how gender, socio-economic diversity, and Islamophobia collectively influence experiences within digital Islamic learning environments. Employing qualitative feminist methodologies, I conducted semi-structured interviews from November to December of 2024 with Islamic scholars, educators, students, and general digital platform users from Lagos, Ilorin, and Maiduguri. The findings indicate that intersecting factors such as gender roles, socio-economic conditions, geographical location, and Islamophobic attitudes distinctly shape patterns of digital …

Envisioning Transgender Equity: Amplifying Global South Narratives Through Inclusive Archives And Education, Saloni Walia, Sukanya Mondal

Journal of International Women's Studies

In their 17 Sustainable Goals (SDGs) for 2030, the United Nations (n. d.) places the goal of “achieve[ing] Gender Equality and empower[ing] all women and girls” at the fifth spot as SDG 5. However, reports from 2016 reveal that the SDGs mainly focus on issues concerning heterosexual cisgender women and girls, with no reference to the LGBTQ community (United Nations, 2016). This oversight raises concerns about the inclusivity of SDG 3, which aims to “ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages” (United Nations, n.d.), but its application to people with diverse gender identities remains unclear. This …

True Independence Or Fake Freedom: Deconstructing Media Representations Of Women In Chinese Otome Games, Xiaoyu Song

Journal of International Women's Studies

The rise of women gamers has driven demand for emotional virtual experiences, particularly in otome games with romantic narratives. Offering a hybrid methodology, this study analyzes character portrayals in three popular Chinese otome mobile games—Mr. Love: Queen’s Choice, Light and Night, and Tears of Themis—while also exploring the responses of women players through semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that women protagonists in otome games are often young, dependent on men characters, and hold subordinate roles, thus underscoring the presence of traditional gender norms. This aligns with media studies scholarship that suggests media representations of women often …

From The Margins To The Center: A Discourse Analysis Of Vietnamese Feminism On Facebook Confession Pages, Phan Van Kien, Dao Quang Trung, Tran Bao Son, Nguyen Le Dinh Quy

Journal of International Women's Studies

This study investigates how feminist ideas are taking shape in contemporary Vietnam, focusing on how young women engage with social media—particularly university confession pages—as sites for emotional expression, identity negotiation, and resistance to traditional gender norms. In a society marked by rapid modernization, increased digital connectivity, and the enduring influence of Confucian values, online platforms have emerged as significant cultural spaces where new meanings of femininity, desire, and agency are constructed and contested. Using a qualitative approach, this study combines semi-structured interviews with discourse analysis to explore how university-aged women express themselves in digital spaces that are anonymous, performative, and …

A Queer Feminist Response To The Racist Reception Of Halle Bailey’S The Little Mermaid: Misogynoir And Anti-Fan Facebook Users In Vietnam, Trung M. Nguyen

Journal of International Women's Studies

This essay examines the ways anti-Blackness is manifested in Vietnam through Facebook anti-fans’ reactions to Disney’s The Little Mermaid (2023) starring Halle Bailey, a Black American actress, in the role of Ariel. Analyzing the racist and colorist remarks within Facebook users’ comments and posts about the movie and utilizing misogynoir as the main concept of critique, the author demonstrates the phenomenon of anti-Black misogyny in Vietnam and focuses on the “I’m not racist, but…” trope. Uncovering the queer history of Hans Christian Andersen’s work, this essay adopts a queer feminist lens to defend the filmmakers’ choice to depict Ariel as …
