The majority of reported incest cases involve sexual relations between one generation and another, the most common being father-daughter incest. The increased availability of clinical data on incest has revealed an aspect of the problem that has received little attention in clinical literature. Incest can involve three generations in a family rather than two. It is possible for incest to be “transmitted” from one generation to the next through several patterns. In some cases, the mother in a family of father-daughter incest has herself been a victim of incest with her own father. With a history of unresolved incest with their own fathers, these women are unable to prevent an incest relationship between their husbands and daughters. Another pattern involves situations where the father in the father-daughter incest relationship has been the victim of father-son incest in his youth. The psychodynamics of these patterns of inter-generational transmission of incest are described, with clinical examples from the authors’ work, as well as from the literature.

Second Generation Children

The language adaptation of second generation children is explored in the context of the history of linguistic absorption and bilingualism in America. Strong nativist pressures toward monolingualism have commonly led to the extinction of immigrant languages in two or three generations. Contemporary fears of loss of English dominance are based on rapid immigration during recent decades and the emergence of linguistic enclaves in several cities around the country. This article explores the extent of language transition and the resilience of immigrant languages on the basis of data from south Florida, one of the areas most heavily affected by contemporary immigration. Results from a sample of 2,843 children of immigrants in the area indicate that: 1) knowledge of English is near universal; 2) preference for English is almost as high, even among children educated in immigrant-sponsored bilingual schools; 3) preservation of parental languages varies inversely with length of U.S. residence and residential locations away from areas of ethnic concentration. Hypotheses about other determinants of bilingualism are examined in a multivariate framework. The relationships of bilingualism to educational attainment and educational and occupational aspirations are also explored.

The first of these Studies was concerned chiefly with the history of Ostia during the period when the city was still growing and its prosperity increasing. Even so, during the period already considered, the prosperity of Ostia, though real, was to this extent artificial, in that it depended upon factors over which the citizens themselves had no control. Ostia was the port of Rome, and nothing else, and in consequence any lowering of the standard of living in, or reduction of imports into the capital city must have had immediate and marked repercussions upon her prosperity. She even lacked to a great extent those reserves of wealth which in other cities might be drawn upon to tide over bad times. The typical citizen of Ostia came to the city in the hope of making his fortune there; but when he had made it, he usually preferred to retire to some more pleasant town, such as Tibur, Tusculum, Velitrae, or Rome itself, where he could enjoy his leisure. Few families seem to have remained in the city for more than two, or, at the most, three generations. Whilst therefore fortunes were made in Ostia, wealth was not accumulated there.

A 48 years old man presented to the surgical OPD with a history of multiple painless swellings on his scrotum for 20 years. He had avoided all sexual relations with his wife due to potential embarrassment. A clinical diagnosis of scrotal epidermoid cysts was made. Both testes were normal on ultrasound. Upon surgery, the scrotal skin was thoroughly excised, and primary closure of skin was done. Postoperative period was uneventful. The patient engaged in intercourse with his partner two weeks after surgery. The man and his partner were referred to the psychiatry unit for appropriate counselling. Scrotal epidermoid cysts cause significant psychological handicap. In Asian countries, the taboo of seeking medical assistance for genital conditions still exists. The treatment of scrotal epidermoid cysts requires a team of surgeons, psychologists, and psychiatrists.

Background: With increasing legalization of cannabis, there is a growing number of cannabis users in the US. Cannabidiol - a component of cannabis with no psychoactive or cognitive effect has been proven in animal models to have vasodilatory and anti-inflammatory effect on the blood vessels. However, in clinical literature, the association between cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and cannabis remains inconclusive. Objective: To examine if there is a difference in the prevalence of CVA among patients who use cannabis and non-users. Methods: We identified patients > 18 years (N=12,114,360) from the 2012 -2014 National Inpatient Sample database. Using the ICD-9 code, we categorized patients using cannabis (non-dependent and dependent users) and non-users. Our outcome of interest was prevalence of CVA in this population. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the association between cannabis use and CVA. Using multivariate regression model, we adjusted for known confounders of CVA; age, gender, race, insurance type, socioeconomic status, tobacco use, cocaine use, alcohol abuse, amphetamine use, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, hypertension, renal failure, prior history of CVA and family history of CVA. Results: From our study sample (12,114,360 hospitalized patients), 2.1% (253,752) had a diagnosis of CVA, 1.48% (179,576) were non-dependent cannabis users and 0.21% (25,968) dependent users. Among hospitalized patient, non-dependent cannabis use was associated with an 8% increased odds of CVA (AOR 1.08 [1.03-1.13]) compared to non-users. However, dependent cannabis use was associated with a 60% decreased odds of CVA (AOR 0.40 [0.31-0.49]) compared to non-users. Also, In-group comparison shows a 60% decreased odds of CVA among dependent cannabis users (AOR 0.36[0.29-0.46]) compared to non-dependent cannabis users. Conclusions: Non-dependent cannabis use was associated with a slightly increased odd of CVA while dependent cannabis use was independently protective against CVA. Our study used the largest repository of clinical information to explore this association, however we recommend more clinical study to explore this correlation in other to maximize the pharmacological benefit of cannabidiol in cannabis for the prevention of CVA.

We present the case of a 60-year-old male, with a long history of epilepsy, who was discovered submerged and unconscious in a small thermal whirlpool bath. The circumstances were forensically reviewed to include examination of clinical data and an autopsy with toxicological analysis. The conclusion was that “warm” hydro-therapy had contributed more than “hot” mud-therapy to the onset of epilepsy which led to accidental drowning, notwithstanding the deceased’s treatment with the long-lasting, poly-drug antiepileptic therapy. Further, we analysed the Italian medical indications of wellness centres for patients with epilepsy or other diseases.

This paper describes how Hindus in East Africa developed from ‘South Asians in Africa’ to ‘Asian Africans’ between 1880-1960. It shows how the Hindu community in East Africa realised their own geographical spaces and areas of interaction. The various cultural encounters of Hindus traders and businessmen with African, Arab and European communities may have been economically profitable, but they harmed cultural pillars of Hindu identity, like notions of caste, purity, food habits and marriage patterns. Obviously, this was not a harmonious process, but one with conflicts in which painful decisions had to be made and legitimised. For others, however, it was an opportunity to free themselves from the burden of religious patronage. The research is based on the history of more than twenty Hindu Lohana families who have lived in East Africa for three generations or more.

A number of predacious mites of the PHYTOSEIINAE (family LAELAPTIDAE), found in south-eastern England, mostly in association with fruit trees, are listed. Certain measurements and other characters that are of value in separating species are given. The species found were: Typhlodromus tiliae Oudm., T. cucumeris Oudm., T. tiliarum Oudm., T. rhenanus (Oudm.), T. finlandicus (Oudm.), T. umbraticus Chant, T. massei Nesbitt, T. vitis Oudm., T. soleiger (Ribaga), Phytoseius macropilis (Banks) and two Amblyseius spp. Of these, T. tiliae, T. finlandicus and P. macropilis are normally abundant on apple trees, but only T. tiliae remains abundant on commercially-grown apple trees. For each species a list of plants on which it has been found is given.Details of the life-history of laboratory-reared mites are given and these, together with counts of field populations, show that three generations a year is normal.Predacious phytoseiine mites feed on several species of TETRANYCHIDAE, including Metatetranychus ulmi (Koch) and Tetranychus telarius (L.); when M. ulmi is supplied in adequate numbers, adults of T. tiliae consume 3 mites per day, the nymphs 2 mites per day, on an average. It is thought that they also feed on plant tissue, since individuals survived in the laboratory for a considerable length of time in the absence of phytophagous mites, though eggs were not laid.

Rickettsiosis is a vector-borne disease caused by bacterial species in the genus Rickettsia. Ticks in Scandinavia are reported to be infected with Rickettsia, yet only a few Scandinavian human cases are described, and rickettsiosis is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of rickettsiosis in Denmark based on laboratory findings. We found that in the Danish individuals who tested positive for Rickettsia by serology, the majority (86%; 484/561) of the infections belonged to the spotted fever group. In contrast, we could confirm 13 of 41 (32%) PCR-positive individuals by sequencing and identified all of these as R. africae, indicating infections after travel exposure. These 13 samples were collected from wound/skin material. In Denmark, approximately 85 individuals test positive for Rickettsia spp. annually, giving an estimated 26% (561/2147) annual prevalence among those suspected of rickettsiosis after tick bites. However, without clinical data and a history of travel exposure, a true estimation of rickettsiosis acquired endemically by tick bites cannot be made. Therefore, we recommend that both clinical data and specific travel exposure be included in a surveillance system of Rickettsia infections.

AbstractInfanticide and child murders have been known to all civilisations throughout time. This study looks at the problem from an Irish perspective, particularly with regard to the forensic psychiatry service. The case notes and legal files of 64 women admitted to the Central Mental Hospital (CMH), Dublin, between May 1850 and 2000 were examined. This group represents a complete sample of female inpatients charged with these offenses over the 150 year history of the institution. Sociodemographic and clinical data were analysed to provide psychiatric and social backgrounds to the cases. There has been a considerable decrease in the number of women admitted to the CMH on charges or conviction for infanticide and child murder in recent years. It appears that the attitude of the judiciary to these women has altered. The cases are discussed in the context of the prevailing attitudes of the era.
