In February 1865, Congress passed the first ever federal antipornography law as a war measure intended to preserve the morality and secure the fighting strength of men serving in the U.S. Army. But the measure also marked the beginning of a postwar surge of legislation protecting morality and marriage and resurrecting a gender order that congressmen believed the war had upset. The Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) and Anthony Comstock lobbied successfully for a follow up measure that became known as the Comstock Law (1873). This law extended the wartime concern for endangered manhood into a series of measures aimed at pornography and restricting women’s access to birth control and abortion. These latter laws remained in place for decades. The instinct to regulate American morality by controlling women’s sexual expression became one of the U.S. Civil War’s longest cultural legacies.

Summary This paper describes a four year follow-up study of psychogeriatric patients in Toronto, arising from collaboration with the U.S.-U.K. cross-national study of psychogeriatric disorders. The findings of the study are threefold: First, compared to Roth's study two decades ago, the present sample shows a decline in mortality of patients suffering from senile dementia with a corresponding increase in the need for treatment facilities for this group. Paraphrenic patients on the other hand were discharged earlier and in greater numbers, indicating an improvement in the treatment of this condition. There was no change in the discharge rate of patients with mood disorders despite the much touted use of antidepressant medications. The second finding was that patients with functional disorders were more rapidly discharged in Canada and the U.S. compared to the U.K., possibly indicating a greater pressure to discharge patients early in North America compared to Britain. Finally, the diagnostic categories had a very significant validity in predicting outcome, with organically demented patients being dead or in hospital at follow-up. The best prognosis was displayed by patients with affective disorders, two-thirds of whom were discharged to the community by 90 days. An intermediate prognosis was demonstrated by patients suffering from schizophrenia and miscellaneous functional disorders, nearly half of whom were discharged to the community in 90 days. The implications for management are discussed.

Background: The purpose of this systematic review was to examine the association and directionality between mental health disorders and substance use among adolescents and young adults in the U.S. and Canada. Methods: The following databases were used: Medline, PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, and Cochrane Library. Meta-analysis used odds ratios as the pooled measure of effect. Results: A total of 3656 studies were screened and 36 were selected. Pooled results showed a positive association between depression and use of alcohol (odds ratio (OR) = 1.50, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.24–1.83), cannabis (OR = 1.29, 95% CI: 1.10–1.51), and tobacco (OR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.43–1.92). Significant associations were also found between anxiety and use of alcohol (OR = 1.54, 95% CI: 1.19–2.00), cannabis (OR = 1.36, 95% CI: 1.02–1.81), and tobacco (OR = 2.21, 95% CI: 1.54–3.17). A bidirectional relationship was observed with tobacco use at baseline leading to depression at follow-up (OR = 1.87, CI = 1.23–2.85) and depression at baseline leading to tobacco use at follow-up (OR = 1.22, CI = 1.09–1.37). A unidirectional relationship was also observed with cannabis use leading to depression (OR = 1.33, CI = 1.19–1.49). Conclusion: This study offers insights into the association and directionality between mental health disorders and substance use among adolescents and young adults. Our findings can help guide key stakeholders in making recommendations for interventions, policy and programming.

Background Children with central nervous system (CNS) tumors undergo frequent imaging for diagnosis and follow-up, but few studies have characterized longitudinal imaging patterns. We described medical imaging in children before and after malignant CNS tumor diagnosis. Procedure We conducted a retrospective cohort study of children aged 0–20 years diagnosed with CNS tumors between 1996–2016 at six U.S. integrated healthcare systems and Ontario, Canada. We collected computed topography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radiography, ultrasound, nuclear medicine examinations from 12 months before through 10 years after CNS diagnosis censoring six months before death or a subsequent cancer diagnosis, disenrollment from the health system, age 21 years, or December 31, 2016. We calculated imaging rates per child per month stratified by modality, country, diagnosis age, calendar year, time since diagnosis, and tumor grade. Results We observed 1,879 children with median four years follow-up post-diagnosis in the U.S. and seven years in Ontario, Canada. During the diagnosis period (±15 days of diagnosis), children averaged 1.10 CTs (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.09–1.13) and 2.14 MRIs (95%CI 2.12–2.16) in the U.S., and 1.67 CTs (95%CI 1.65–1.68) and 1.86 MRIs (95%CI 1.85–1.88) in Ontario. Within one year after diagnosis, 19% of children had ≥5 CTs and 45% had ≥5 MRIs. By nine years after diagnosis, children averaged one MRI and one radiograph per year with little use of other imaging modalities. Conclusions MRI and CT are commonly used for CNS tumor diagnosis, whereas MRI is the primary modality used during surveillance of children with CNS tumors.

The U.S. has fallen behind other countries in developing contraceptives, depriving Americans of birth control choices available elsewhere, a study by the Institute of Medicine reports. All but one of the major pharmaceutical companies in the U.S. have stopped significant contraceptive research, and new birth control techniques used overseas haven't been cleared for the U.S. market... There are a number of promising contraceptive developments on the horizon, some of which already are in use outside the U.S. These include a contraceptive vaccine, reversible male and female sterilization procedures, long-lasting contraceptives that can be implanted under a woman's skin, new spermicides that help reduce the risk of venereal disease, and new male contraceptives that interfere with the production of sperm. But without new spending on research and a different regulatory climate, Americans will continue to depend on 20-year-old birth control technology, said Luigi Mastroianni Jr., the committee's chairman.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is uniquely poised for advanced imaging in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract as it allows real-time, subsurface and wide-field evaluation at near-microscopic resolution, which may improve the current limitations or even obviate the need of superficial random biopsies in the surveillance of early neoplasias in the near future. OCT’s greatest impact so far in the GI tract has been in the study of the tubular esophagus owing to its accessibility, less bends and folds and allowance of balloon employment with optimal contact to aid circumferential imaging. Moreover, given the alarming rise in the incidence of Barrett’s esophagus and its progression to adenocarcinoma in the U.S., OCT has helped identify pathological features that may guide future therapy and follow-up strategy. This review will explore the current uses of OCT in the gastrointestinal tract and future directions, particularly with non-endoscopic office-based capsule OCT and the use of artificial intelligence to aid in diagnoses.
