    Mental Health Services as a Mandatory Necessity for Returning Citizens

    No full text
    In her paper titled “Mental Health Services as a Mandatory Necessity for Returning Citizens,” Dr. Crystal DeBerry, Owner of DeNovo Clinical Strategies LLC and Founder of the Memphis nonprofit Indomitable Families Affected by Incarceration, describes the importance of mental health resources and support for those impacted by incarceration. She argues that wrap-around mental health services, including counseling, supportive programs, and support for families of incarcerated loved ones, should be a mandatory component of reentry. Just as the first paper makes clear that mass incarceration begins far before any individual person is imprisoned, this paper underscores the fact that the criminal legal system does not simply end when a person is released from detention. The effects of the criminal legal system are vast and long-lasting

    This set of Broadway playbills from 1998-2021 was on display in the L.L. Gobbel Library during November 2024 as the second entry in the library\u27s Collections Display Series. This series, managed by Campus Librarian Kelly Maust, features unique, original collections by University of Memphis Lambuth students, faculty, and staff. The project provides an opportunity to share our interests with each other and explore as a campus what a library collection could mean. Playbills were lent to the library by faculty member Ashley Kate Adams.https://digitalcommons.memphis.edu/vintage-mugs-nov-2024/1035/thumbnail.jp

    View of planes and ground crew at Park Field, Millington, Tennessee. Park Field was one of thirty-two Air Service training camps established after the United States entered World War I in April 1917. This site was originally established by the Army Signal Corps. Park Field covered over 700 acres and could accommodate up to 1,000 personnel, and served as a base for flight training for the United States Army Air Service. After the war, Park Field helped pioneer mail routes over Tennessee and surrounding states.https://digitalcommons.memphis.edu/speccoll-mss-rpevahouse2/1005/thumbnail.jp

    SICKLE CELL DISEASE IN THE STATE OF TENNESSEE

    No full text
    Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder. Normal red blood cells are round. In those with SCD, the red blood cells are crescent shaped. In the Unites States (US), more than 90% of those living with SCD are Black. We conducted three epidemiological studies related to the burden of common comorbidities in individuals with SCD, the relationship between SCD and chronic kidney disease, and the effects of historical racial housing policies on births with SCD. First, we evaluated the annual incidence and demographic associations of stroke, seizures, congestive heart failure, asthma, systemic hypertension, and diabetes mellitus in individuals living with SCD. Older individuals with SCD had higher odds of stroke, seizures, congestive heart failure, systemic hypertension, and diabetes mellitus compared to those under the age of 18. Females with SCD had 1.66 (95% CI: 1.13, 2.44) times the odds of incident diabetes mellitus compared to males. Individuals living with SCD in rural Tennessee had 2.05 (95% CI: 1.14, 3.68) times the odds of incident congestive heart failure compared to urban dwellers. Next, we evaluated the incidence, demographic associations, and mortality in individuals with SCD who had chronic kidney disease (CKD). Compared to those under 18 years of age, those above 45 had 23.54 (95% CI: 7.07, 78.36) times the odds of incident CKD. In terms of mortality, individuals with SCD who had CKD, had statistically significant lower mean age of death compared to the general US population (53 years vs. 73.7 years, p-value 0.0485). The final analysis estimated the burden of births with SCD in historically redlined Zip codes along with modern-day economic implications. A higher proportion of newborns with SCD (32%) were born in historically redlined Zip codes compared to the general population (15%) of the state. There were similar findings for three (Shelby, Davidson, and Hamilton) of the four major counties. There was also a statistically significant association between births with SCD and living in a previously redlined Zip code (p-value 0.0012). In terms of modern-day economic implications, there were no significant associations between births with SCD and median household income
