Julia Serano's book Excluded: Making Feminist and Queer Movements More Inclusive explains in a chapter called "Balancing Acts" that the Markedness theory is only one part of the picture, but that it's been a neglected part that we need to bring into conversations about marginalization.
What do you think a good balance of teaching 'isms' and Markedness looks like? What helped you understand the Markedness theory, or is there something that is missing that could explain the subject better?
Respiratory failure remains one of the most critical challenges in modern medicine. For patients with severe lung diseases or acute respiratory distress, traditional ventilation may not be enough. This is where the artificial lung emerges as a life-saving innovation, offering advanced respiratory support when natural lung function is compromised.
An artificial lung is a medical device designed to replicate the gas-exchange function of human lungs. It oxygenates blood and removes carbon dioxide externally, allowing the patient’s lungs to rest or recover. Unlike conventional ventilators that rely on lung mechanics, artificial lungs work by directly interacting with the bloodstream.
Artificial lung systems are most commonly used in extracorporeal life support (ECLS) or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapies.
