Patient discourses on real-time access to test results via hospital portals: a discourse analysis of semistructured interviews with Dutch patients by Anne Marie J W M Weggelaar-Jansen, Kees Ahaus, Pauline Hulter, Bettine Pluut

“…Our participants were treated in different hospitals, and therefore, used different portals since Dutch hospitals can choose from suppliers for their patient portals.Participants Patients with experience (n=15) and without experience (n=13) of real-time access to test results on a patient portal.Results We identified three discourses: (1) real-time access as a source of stress, which highlighted how real-time access could cause stress due to the complexity of deciding whether to access test results, the incomprehensibility of medical language and the urge to repeatedly check if test results were available, (2) anxiety reduction through real-time access showed how real-time access can reduce stress by reducing waiting times and (3) real-time access for self-management showed how real-time access can give patients an opportunity for self-management because they can make informed decisions and are better prepared for the medical consultation.Conclusion Our study shows the plurality in opinions on real-time access, which helps in forming different strategies to inform and support patients in order to realise optimal use of real-time access.…”

Toxic properties of holothurian’s triterpene glycosides by D. L. Aminin, V. I. Kalinin

“…The toxic properties of glycosides are based on the ability of these compounds to interact with ∆5-sterols (mainly cholesterol) of plasma membranes and form ion-conducting complexes. In turn, this leads to a change in the ion permeability and selectivity of biomembranes, disruption of barrier properties, ion homeostasis and osmolarity of cells, and further to cell lysis and death.Contact with holoturias when diving in shallow water, which is fraught with damage to the eyes and mucous membranes by triterpene glycosides, may be of some danger to humans. …”

Marriage, Law and Polyamory. Rebutting Mononormativity with Sexual Orientation Discourse? by Christian Klesse

“…I argue that advocating a sexual orientation model of polyamory is likely to reduce the complexity and transformative potential of poly intimacies, limit the scope and reach of potential litigation, obstruct the capacity of poly activism to form alliances and increase the likelihood of poly activism to settle for legal solutions (i.e. marriage) that are exclusive and reproductive of a culture of privilege. …”
