This article explores the potential of narrative medicine to strengthen the democratic ethos in health care. The heart of narrative medicine is attentive listening, an often scarce resource in our democratic communities. By listening to those who are traditionally voiceless and disenfranchised-the sick, the disabled, the old, the frail-narrative medicine empowers vulnerable patients' voices against the dominant discourse of health professionals and contributes to treating the moral injuries inflicted on patients by epistemic and social injustice.

Background: Social inequalities play a crucial role in the incidence of TB, making it plausible that they act as effect modifiers on the impact of active case-finding (ACF) strategies in the detection of the disease. We estimated the association between ACF strategies and TB detection rates and evaluated their effect modification due to social inequalities in Brazilian municipalities.
Methods: We included 5033 municipalities that reported at least one new TB case.

Estrogens are suggested to affect mood by binding to widespread estrogen receptors in the brain and therewith modulating a variety of neurosignaling pathways. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes encoding estrogen receptors might influence these actions and thereby play a role in the genetic foundation of mood disorders. Several SNPs in the estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) gene have been studied in relation to anxiety and depression, while confounders and interaction with psychosocial factors have largely been overlooked.

Longer, more severe wildfire seasons are becoming the norm in fire-prone areas. Prescribed burning is a tool used to mitigate wildfire spread. However, prescribed burning also contributes to air pollution, including PM (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter <= 2.

Context: Social determinants of health (SDoH) and race are both well-established factors that influence diabetes outcomes. However, less is understood about how social vulnerability (SV) and race intersect to impact diabetes control.
Objective: To examine the additive impact of SV and race on diabetes control.
