1. Leaky Bodies and Everyday Disclosure and Exposure in the Neurodegenerative Illness Stories of Younger People With Parkinson's Disease.
1. 年轻帕金森病患者的神经退行性疾病故事中的渗漏身体与日常披露和暴露PMID:日期:2026-10-02Parkinson's disease (PD) is most often diagnosed in late middle age and old age (mid to late 60s), leaving younger people with PD facing uncertainties and the long-term challenge of life with a neurodegenerative illness. To advance understanding of the psychosocial burden associated with PD for younger people, we explored PD disclosure narratives with 22 participants diagnosed before 55 years of age. For people with neurodegenerative illness, sharing a diagnosis is only partly scripted and limited to discrete interactional events. We also consider narratives of social isolation, an impact that is not readily recognised because biomedicine mainly addresses older people with PD. The PD body discloses itself in ways that are not always controllable, nuancing sociological understanding of illness narratives to accommodate neurodegenerative illness. With reference to sociological understandings of the 'leaky' body and scholarship on disclosure, exposure and related perspectives on social life, we explored social expectations to explain the PD body, the avolitional, repetitive and continual qualities of these expectations and the impact of these dynamics on wellbeing.

2. Causes of Death and Physicians' Knowledge-Producing Responsibility-How Expectations Shape Interest in 'Finding Out What Happened'.
PMID:日期:2026-10-02Clinical knowledge production is fundamentally centred on patient problems, improving the lives of patients. If patients die, physicians also need to administer death. What is their responsibility to generate knowledge about causes of death? Based on semi-structured interviews with 35 physicians, we show what sources physicians draw on, what they consider sufficient for making statements about causes of death and when and on what grounds they consider autopsies needed. We broaden and generalise the question of how physicians report causes of death by viewing it as a case of knowledge-producing responsibility, the judgement about when knowledge is considered sufficient. By building this discussion on notions of expected and unexpected death, we also add to the sociological literature on categories of death.

3. Not Just a Mother's Responsibility: Gender, Care and Institutional Influences in Parental Vaccine Hesitancy in Russia.
3. 不只是母亲的责任：俄罗斯父母疫苗犹豫中的性别、照料与制度影响PMID:日期:2026-10-02The cultural emphasis on mothers' individual responsibility and choice regarding their children's health is often considered a key factor behind vaccine hesitancy, especially among the middle class in Western countries. Drawing on qualitative interviews with vaccine-hesitant Russian mothers, this article broadens this discussion in two ways. First, it shifts the focus from women as autonomous decision-makers to examining how they share vaccination-related responsibilities with other family members. Second, it situates these dynamics within Russian healthcare and childcare-institutional settings where neoliberal trends coexist with socialist legacies and strong state control. The study shows that beneath the surface of responsibilised and seemingly individualistic mothering lies a network of care and familial commitment that frames vaccination decision-making. This is particularly relevant for institutional contexts that promote individual health responsibility without consistently supporting it, thereby fuelling parental distrust in vaccinations and making family involvement essential for navigating volatile welfare environments.

4. Turning Structures Into Attributes: The Marginalisation of Critical Theory in Research on Social Determinants of Health.
PMID:日期:2026-09-30Critical theory has provided important resources for understanding the social determinants of health (SDOH). Yet less is known about what happens to these explanatory resources as SDOH becomes increasingly institutionalised in research and policy. We examine this question through a scoping review of 298 peer-reviewed SDOH reviews published between 2005 and 2025, together with a close analysis of the 15 reviews with the highest annualised Web of Science citation rates. The findings show a pronounced and widening discursive asymmetry: mainstream, technically oriented reviews dominate the literature and have expanded substantially over time, whereas explicitly critical approaches have remained rare. At the same time, critical concepts such as class, exploitation and social reproduction have not disappeared. Instead, they are often retained in attenuated form, reframed as indicators of risk, vulnerability or group difference rather than as concepts for explaining how health inequalities are produced. This process is described here as explanatory marginalisation. Greater engagement with critical theory can therefore strengthen the capacity of SDOH research to explain, rather than merely describe, the structural production of health inequality.

5. Obscured Rhythms: Using Rhythmanalysis to Understand How Symptoms Associated With Menopause Shape Everyday Experiences of Physical Activity.
5. 隐匿的节奏：运用节奏分析理解更年期相关症状如何塑造日常身体活动体验PMID:日期:2026-09-30Physical activity (PA) is frequently promoted as a means of managing symptoms associated with the menopause transition (MT), yet little is known of how the embodied, emotional and temporal disruptions of menopause influence the experiences of, and possibilities for, movement. Taking inspiration from French sociologist Henri Lefebvre's theory of 'rhythmanalysis' and Jennifer Mason's facet methodology approach, we draw on qualitative survey responses from 249 women to examine how symptoms associated with the MT interrelate with space and time to shape everyday experiences of PA. Our findings highlight how symptoms intertwine with seasonal, hormonal and circadian cycles to reconfigure everyday tempos of energy, rest and aspirations to move more. These shifting rhythms often constrain participation in PA, but also prompt creative adjustments including new pacing strategies, altered routines and re-attunements to bodily fluctuation. Our rhythmanalytic approach challenges binary framings of PA as either hindered or facilitated, offering instead a textured account of how movement, stillness and slowing are negotiated during the MT. These original insights contribute to embodied and critical perspectives on health, demonstrating the value of more flexible, rhythmic and context-sensitive approaches to promoting movement through the MT.

6. Secondary Use of Health Data in Canada and the European Union: Expectations, Frictions and the Politics of Scale.
6. 加拿大与欧盟健康数据的二次利用：期望、摩擦与尺度政治PMID:日期:2026-09-30In this article, we trace expectations associated with efforts to promote secondary use of health data in Canada and the European Union. In Canada, we focus on initiatives enabling cross-jurisdictional data access in a highly devolved federal system with parallel commitments to Indigenous data sovereignty. In the EU, we focus on the European Health Data Space, a new regulatory regime intended to facilitate access to health data for clinical care, research, policymaking and innovation across 27 member states. Drawing on a comparative analysis of policy documents and semi-structured interviews across nine EU member states and four Canadian provinces and one territory, we find that despite institutional differences, secondary use in both jurisdictions is characterised by strikingly similar promissory vocabularies. We argue that these expectations are fundamentally ones of scale: They seek to render health data interoperable, comparable and usable to different ends. At the same time, we document shared frictions: between sovereignty and integration; between access and control; and between private assets and public goods. We understand these as spaces where competing valuations of health data are negotiated. We suggest that secondary use logics are progressively reorienting health systems, with implications for public value, equity and political collectives.

7. 'No Dumping!' Threshold Work in Voluntary Sector Mental Healthcare in Inner-City London.
PMID:日期:2026-09-25This paper examines the sociomaterial dynamics of mental healthcare by following metaphors circulating among voluntary sector providers that they were becoming 'dumping grounds' within a system in crisis. In the United Kingdom, the voluntary sector has long been called upon to deliver flexible, community-based care that reduces pressure on primary and secondary services. Under chronic conditions of austerity, however, providers have been stretched beyond their capacity. Drawing on ethnographic research across three voluntary sector mental health sites in inner-city London, I analyse how providers made and maintained places of care while grappling with expanding and shifting demands. Taking a sociomaterial approach, I propose the analytic concept of 'threshold work' to complicate the dumping metaphor and to reconceptualise how material thresholds of place and immaterial thresholds of mental health need are co-constituted with care practices. I identify three interrelated modes of threshold work through which providers manage the limits of inclusion, revealing how diagnostic boundaries of need and spatial arrangements of care move together, shaping the terms and conditions of care in the city.

8. Invisible Navigators: Migrant Parents and the Everyday Labour of Managing Sickle Cell Disease in the UK.
8. 隐形领航者：英国移民父母与镰状细胞病日常管理中的劳动PMID:日期:2026-09Migrant parents of children and young people (CYP) living with sickle cell disease (SCD) must manage complex care needs within unfamiliar healthcare systems. Drawing on qualitative interviews with migrant parents in England, this study examines how migration reshapes healthcare navigation. Using navigation as an analytical lens, the findings show that parents act as de facto navigators, coordinating services across healthcare, education and welfare domains without structured support. Beyond practical coordination, navigation involved sustained relational, emotional and identity work. Parents described learning to interpret new institutional rules, (re)negotiating expectations of 'good' parenting in a different national context and managing stigma linked to illness, ethnicity and immigration status. Migration intensified caregiving responsibilities through disrupted support networks, legal and economic constraints and uneven access to resources. Although UK services were valued for specialist expertise, parents reported the need for continual self-advocacy within fragmented systems. The study extends navigation scholarship by foregrounding migrant parents' unpaid and often unrecognised labour and demonstrates how healthcare navigation is shaped by intersecting migration, policy and racialised contexts. The findings highlight the importance of embedding condition-specific navigation support within existing specialist services.

9. Infrastructuring AI and Robotics for Health and Everyday Life: Visions and Practices in a Japanese National Moonshot Research and Development Project.
PMID:日期:2026-09This article examines how emerging infrastructural AI and robotics for health and everyday life are proposed and negotiated, drawing on ethnographic research within the Japanese Awareness AI Project. The project envisages distributed assistance relying on continuous measurement of bodily states, aiming to make technological systems recede into the background. The analysis reveals how the project envisions bodies and machines as tightly coupled, yet encounters profound sociotechnical frictions around data integration, consent and bodily safety. It also traces perceived side effects, including the commercial circulation of bodily data and the risk of reproducing social inequalities. The article argues that such attempts at infrastructuring, although recently curtailed by shifting policy priorities, remain sociologically significant. They highlight the unstable nature of infrastructure in the making and provide a critical reference point for understanding emerging reorganisations of dependence and responsibility and forms of assisted selfhood, around continuous bodily datafication.

10. A Seat at the (Dinner) Table: Food and Eating Practices in the Ontario Basic Income Pilot.
PMID:日期:2026-09There is strong quantitative evidence that the risk of food insecurity declines when social programmes increase low-income households' available income. However, there is little qualitative research that examines how food practices change with a sudden increase in income for poor households. Using a Bourdieusian-informed theoretical framework, supplemented by recent literature on dignity, we analysed 79 semi-structured, open-ended interviews with recipients of the prematurely cancelled Ontario Basic Income Pilot (OBIP). Interviewees described how increased income improved their ability to afford enough and better-quality food, decreased their engagement in unsatisfactory survival strategies, mediated stronger relations with family and friends and facilitated more pleasure in food practices. These results reflect a 'logic of practice' in a very different context than Bourdieu's 1960s France: a consumer society where health is a 'super value' and belonging is gained through consumption. Our analysis suggests that for those living in poverty, income, not habitus, is the most important contributor to the logic of food practices. Our results contradict popular myths about the food practices of those who live in poverty and lend support to the call for a minimum income floor, adequate to meet basic needs, to promote health, household food security and dignity.
