  • Summary

    Using a communal approach that employs diverse feminist perspectives, co-authors Anne Choike, Martha Albertson Fineman, and Cheryl L. Wade argue that feminism offers corporate law a vitally important analytical tool to advance the creation of a more just legal framework governing corporations and their stakeholders. Choike, Fineman, and Wade highlight feminist corporate law literature that uses various feminist and feminist-inspired approaches to illuminate how using such perspectives can facilitate critical examination of corporate law concepts (including corporate personhood, limited liability, board diversity, firm ownership, and theories of the firm). Choike, Fineman and Wade argue that each type of feminism offers unique tools to analyze corporate law. Liberal feminism’s focus on gender identity, among other intersectional identity characteristics, reveals corporate law’s inequitable substance and operation. Relational feminism’s attention to gendered values and ethical frameworks highlights their impact upon the role and function of the corporation. Dominance feminism’s focus on power enables critique of implicitly gendered privileges that corporate law confers upon corporate actors. Feminism-inspired universal theories like vulnerability theory transcend gender to consider how institutional relationships in corporate law, such as principal/agent and worker/owner, may be unequal. Professional practitioners, scholars, and students can benefit from this chapter.

  • Objective:

    Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination effectiveness in healthcare personnel (HCP) has been established. However, questions remain regarding its performance in high-risk healthcare occupations and work locations. We describe the effect of a COVID-19 HCP vaccination campaign on SARS-CoV-2 infection by timing of vaccination, job type, and work location.

    Methods:

    We conducted a retrospective review of COVID-19 vaccination acceptance, incidence of postvaccination COVID-19, hospitalization, and mortality among 16,156 faculty, students, and staff at a large academic medical center. Data were collected 8 weeks prior to the start of phase 1a vaccination of frontline employees and ended 11 weeks after campaign onset.

    Results:

    The COVID-19 incidence rate among HCP at our institution decreased from 3.2% during the 8 weeks prior to the start of vaccinations to 0.38% by 4 weeks after campaign initiation. COVID-19 risk was reduced among individuals who received a single vaccination (hazard ratio [HR], 0.52; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.40–0.68; P < .0001) and was further reduced with 2 doses of vaccine (HR, 0.17; 95% CI, 0.09–0.32; P < .0001). By 2 weeks after the second dose, the observed case positivity rate was 0.04%. Among phase 1a HCP, we observed a lower risk of COVID-19 among physicians and a trend toward higher risk for respiratory therapists independent of vaccination status. Rates of infection were similar in a subgroup of nurses when examined by work location.

    Conclusions:

    Our findings show the real-world effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination in HCP. Despite these encouraging results, unvaccinated HCP remain at an elevated risk of infection, highlighting the need for targeted outreach to combat vaccine hesitancy.

  • Objective

    To examine the association between cereal consumption and cardiovascular risk factors including waist, height, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol in a sample of adolescent girls.

    Design

    Longitudinal study.

    Setting

    The study was conducted from 1987 to 1997 and data were collected at three study sites (University of California at Berkeley, University of Cincinnati and Westat Inc., Rockville, MD, USA). Mixed models were used to estimate the association between the number of days of eating cereal and these four outcome variables.

    Subjects

    Girls (n 2371) who participated in the 10-year National Heart, Lung, and Blood Growth and Health Study (NGHS) and completed a 3 d food diary in years 1–5 and 7, 8 and 10.

    Results

    Adolescent girls who ate cereal more often had lower waist-to-height ratio (P < 0·005), lower total cholesterol (P < 0·05) and lower LDL cholesterol (P < 0·05), taking into account sociodemographic variables, physical activity levels and total energy intake.

    Conclusions

    Findings suggest that cereal consumption is associated with markers of cardiovascular risk and that childhood patterns of consumption may influence the development of risk factors later in adolescence.
