Community MH Must Include Care for Incarcerated Individuals, Released Prisoners

Introduction: Medical Mobilities in the Modern Middle East and North Africa.

This themed section contributes to efforts to conceptualize medical mobility. It does so by observing medical histories within the Middle East while following concrete movements. This focus on what moves and how, rather than on largely static and fixed units of analysis on where to, is central to the studies in this issue. The location of the Middle East, as a crossroad for imperial mobilities-is ideal for exploring transnational medical movements. Bringing together historians of the Middle East and North Africa, the articles explore intersections among medicine, health, and the body and histories of cross-regional mobility. This section spans the period from the early twentieth century to the 1970s. The articles are based on primary sources in Greek, Turkish, English, French, Spanish, and Arabic, located in the national archives of the UK, Israel, and Cyprus; in French diplomatic and military archives; and in the Overseas Nursing Association's publications.

As we begin this year, we are delighted to announce some new additions to our editorial board. I believe that healthy turnover and the ability to hear fresh perspectives commenting on the hottest topics in the clinical thyroid literature is critical to the rigor of the journal. Thus, I'm pleased to introduce the following individuals as the newest members of our editorial board, each representing a distinct area of expertise within thyroidology: Drs. Juan P. Brito, Ulla Feldt-Rasmussen, Gary L. Francis, Spyridoula Maraka, Donald S.A. McLeod, Lilah F. Morris-Wiseman, Naykky Singh Ospina, Jesse D. Pasternak, and Erivelto Volpi.This year's first issue begins with paired reviews on the topic of congenital hypothyroidism. Drs. Catherine E. Kerr and Gary L. Francis summarize the recently updated guidelines on congenital hypothyroidism published by the European Society for Pediatric Endocrinology and the European Society for Endocrinology, while Drs. Yanrui Huang and Haixia Guan review findings from the Regional Newborn Screening Laboratory of Lombardy, the only laboratory that has been using differential blood-spot TSH cutoffs for newborn screening of congenital hypothyroidism. Regarding the common condition of primary hypothyroidism, Dr. Daniel Toft summarizes a recent systematic review and meta-analysis showing that more than one third of all users of thyroid hormone therapy remain euthyroid after discontinuing the medication, suggesting substantial overtreatment of hypothyroidism.One of our newest editorial board members, Dr. Erivelto Volpi, discusses the experience of a multicenter Italian cohort studying the efficacy of radio-frequency and laser therapy for the treatment of cytologically benign thyroid nodules. This special piece from the expert perspective of Dr. Volpi is part of a collaborative highlight on ablative techniques for thyroid nodules covered recently across the American Thyroid Association's publications program (Thyroid, Video Endocrinology, and Clinical Thyroidology). In his first review for this journal, Dr. Jesse Pasternak reviews a recent study and shares his personal experience highlighting the promise of translaryngeal ultrasound for assessing the vocal cords prior to thyroid surgery.In the area of thyroid cancer, Dr. Tyler Drake reviews a study exploring the pros and cons of considering a terminology change regarding low-risk papillary thyroid cancers. Drs. Yasuhiro Ito, Naoyoshi Onoda, and Akira Miyauchi review a study examining the serum neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio as a promising predictor of tumor activity and worsened prognosis in patients with radioiodine-refractory thyroid cancers. Drs. Gunnar Moen and Martin Biermann examine the use of 18F-FDG–PET/CT versus PET/MR imaging, as demonstrated in a recent study from Italy, in localizing suspected persistent and recurrent differentiated thyroid cancer. Finally, I'm pleased that this issue also includes a case report of a young patient with NUT carcinoma of the thyroid, a rare and aggressive thyroid malignancy due to NUT or NUTM1 gene rearrangements that predominantly arises from head, neck, and thoracic structures.As always, thank you to all our readers who are connecting with us through our social media platforms. I invite everyone to join the conversations regarding the content covered in each month's issue and other related topics:Twitter:https://twitter.com/clinicalthyroid (@clinicalthyroid)Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/ThyroidAssociationLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/company/american-thyroid-associationYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/user/thyroidorgAlso, remember that most of the material covered in Clinical Thyroidology is also translated into shorter lay summaries in our sister journal, Clinical Thyroidology for the Public [CTFP] (https://www.thyroid.org/patient-thyroid-information/ct-for-patients), that is edited by Dr. Alan Farwell and his team each month. The summaries in CTFP may be of use to patients and the public who are interested in reading more about recently published studies in the clinical thyroid literature.I hope that each issue provides helpful reviews, commentaries, editorials, and perspectives regarding how best to treat patients with thyroid disease.

The Negro/National Newspaper Publishers Association and Its Dual Roles as a Trade and Advocacy Organization, 1940–2020

The National Newspaper Publishers Association, founded in 1940 as the Negro Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA), served two roles from the outset. As a trade organization, it sought to professionalize the Black press by holding regular conventions, improving business practices, and implementing journalism awards. As an advocacy organization, the NNPA met with sitting presidents and high-ranking government officials to push for civil rights legislation. This study, the first to document and discuss the NNPA’s dual roles, draws on organizational records, news stories, and other primary sources by and about the NNPA since its inception to illustrate the scope of its work for the Black press and equality. The historical narrative also situates the organization in the context of the Civil Rights Movement and the long struggle for equal rights in the United States. Current advocacy and trade issues are discussed in the light of this narrative and the COVID-19 pandemic, and some suggestions for improvement are offered relative to the NNPA’s eightieth anniversary in 2020.

Sustainability of the Black Press as Social Justice: A Digital Technology Gap Study

The National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) enlists a total of 157 members - publications directed to the African-American community in the United States. There is currently no research on how these publications have adopted technology through time, or if the adoption of new media contributes to their growth and survival in the publishing industry. In Florida, The Weekly Challenger, Daytona Times and Florida Courier, three of 13 historical newspapers, are connected in history and structure and show different types of survival methods. How have these publications adopted technology through time? What types of trends are reflected in these newspapers? What challenges are faced by the Black community weeklies? To answer these questions, the authors conducted case studies employing participant observation, lengthy interviews, historical research and qualitative questionnaires. A significant finding of this research demonstrates the difficulty to get responses due to suspicion and intimidation from the targeted audience. These newspapers struggle with a diminished workforce who lack professional and technical training and must perform multiple roles. Findings also show that 14 of the newspapers listed as current NNPA members are not currently in circulation and that the publications’ pattern of adoption is not planned, but a consequence of availability and chance.

The Academic Book of the Future

The Academic Book of the Future is a research project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) in collaboration with The British Library (BL) and is concerned with how scholarly work in the arts and humanities will be produced, read and preserved in coming years. The project is run by a team from University College London (UCL) and King’s College London (King’s), with support from the Research Information Network (RIN). The project has built a Community Coalition of more than 100 organizations and individuals. The project and the Coalition are holding a whole range of events and carrying out research projects on a variety of relevant topics. The key event for 2015 is Academic Book Week, 9-16 November 2015, which has been taken up enthusiastically by the Publishers Association (PA) and the Booksellers Association (BA), as well as the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP), and was launched in July 2015 with a large announcement in The Bookseller. Events celebrating the diversity, innovation and influence of academic books will be held across the UK, with participation from institutions elsewhere in Europe and also in the USA, Canada, Japan and Australia.

One of the best known marketing strategies is buy one, get one free, or BOGOF, which whether you say it quickly, loudly or under your breath, could be mistaken for swearing. BOGOF is synonymous with the pile ‘em high, sell ‘em cheap marketing concept, adopted by big supermarket chains in an attempt to sell customers more products. It seems to have made its first appearance in the UK sometime during the 1970s recession, at a time when food prices were very high. The term subsequently re-emerged in the late 1990s, led by the same supermarkets, this time in order to gain a competitive edge and advantage over each other in their determination to sell us even more food. In 2014, those very same supermarkets who introduced us to the BOGOF and its little brother, buy two get one free, were told in no uncertain terms by their Lordships to ‘move away from such offers’. Baroness Scott, chairwoman of the House of Lords European Union Committee, referred to offers such as BOGOF as ‘morally repugnant’ (Sky News, 2014). According to the Which? 2014 supermarket survey, Aldi is now the nation’s favourite supermarket, narrowly beating Waitrose, who held the best supermarket crown for years (Ellicott, 2014). Interestingly, Aldi has never used BOGOF. We are now familiar with the irresponsible use of the BOGOF in the aesthetic sector, where it has become common practice to advertise ‘buy one syringe, get one free’. But come on, get an extra one? And for free? Who could possibly say no? The BOGOF slogan, initially associated with dermal fillers, has also seeped into the illicit promotion of botulinum toxin type A. Buy one area get one free, buy two areas get a third free—a serious breach of advertising practice, not seen or tolerated with any other prescribed medicine in the UK or Europe. Furthermore, offering one syringe at half price or for free may mean that some offers are in breach of the Trade Description Act 1968, which states that ‘non-discounted prices should be the amount a product was sold at for 28 consecutive days immediately prior to it going on offer, while a product should not ordinarily be on offer for longer than it was at the higher price’. When it comes to marketing and advertising our clinics, we really have lots to learn and lots to lose. Most of us don’t employ full-time business/marketing managers, who can cite the Committee of Advertising Practice Code and Trade Description Act verbatim. Small independent practices are purchasers and providers in a sector where the tectonic plates of medicine and commerce grate; we face mounting competition and serve an increasingly knowledgeable patient. So when the sales rep approaches with a buy five get two free offer, what should we do? BOGOFs on stationery and consumables are fine, but medical devices? Wouldn’t it be more acceptable for manufacturers to take a page out of Aldi’s book by reducing single unit prices? Not only do BOGOF adverts risk violating The Trade Descriptions Act, but they also further reduce the value of the products, the service and ourselves as health professionals when we resort to running nothing short of a ‘no frills, fill ‘n’ freeze shop’. It is my view that the BOGOF has no place in any aesthetic nurse’s injectable product portfolio.

But it’s also one of four letters in a word that is relatively unheard of in cosmetic medicine—data. Not only does nobody know the total number of aesthetic nurses practising in the UK, let alone those who are injecting outside of their NHSbased positions as staff and specialist nurses, but trying to decipher how many dermal filler injections are administered in the UK per year, and more to the point how effective the products are that are being used, is like getting blood from a wrinkle-free stone. For a profession that prides itself on achieving consistent results and wants to standardise best practice, this is simply not good enough. When Sir Bruce Keogh published his ‘Review of the Regulation of Cosmetic Interventions’ on the back of the Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) breast implant scandal, which ironically was fraught with its own data reporting issues, it stated that there is a ‘concerning lack of data’ (Department of Health (DH), 2013). Further down in the report, on ensuring an informed and empowered public, it recommended that patients ‘are helped to make informed decisions based on clear, easily accessible and unbiased information and data’ (DH, 2013). Unsurprisingly, not much has changed such the report’s publication—aesthetic practitioners not only continue to use products which haven’t been subject to extensive clinical trials or research, but some also consistently fail to report complications or adverse events that occur as a result of their use. I would tell you how many practitioners inject questionable dermal fillers and the number of complications that go unreported per year, but I can’t. That data does not exist. It appears that what is lacking in the sector is another ‘D’ word—definition. Keogh surmised that the ‘weakness of the professional regulatory oversight arises in part from the fact that cosmetic surgery is not a discrete defined specialty’ (DH, 2013). How many procedures are aesthetic nurses providing? How can patients be sure they are safe in the hands of practitioners who are qualified? How can we define education and training? Health Education England (HEE) is still at work with its expert reference group to try and tackle the structure of education and training in non-surgical cosmetic interventions, to ensure all aesthetic practitioners are ‘appropriately qualified’ to administer injectables, as well as perform key procedures such as chemical peels, mesotherapy and laser skin rejuvenation, which is covered in this issue on pages 424–9. But even a DH-backed health authority is further changing the parameters of who can do what, clearly stating that it will introduce ‘a flexible education and training framework which addresses the training requirements for all practitioners’ (HEE, 2014), whether they are registered health professionals or non-regulated beauticians. It all comes back to the old adage that ‘if you want something done, do it yourself’. Nobody knows better than you what treatments aesthetic nurses carry out, what products they use and what complications present. By making it your mission to record information about your patients and your practice, you can help to bring medical aesthetics out of the danger zone, and into the data zone.

THE KOKURYŪKAI (BLACK DRAGON SOCIETY) AND THE RISE OF NATIONALISM, PAN-ASIANISM, AND MILITARISM IN JAPAN, 1901–1925

In the conduct of prewar Japanese foreign relations, political associations (seiji kessha) – we might also call them pressure groups – exerted considerable political influence, particularly on Japan's relations with China and other Asian nations. One of the best known of these political associations is the Kokuryūkai (the “Amur Society,” also known as the “Black Dragon Society”), which was founded in 1901 and, in 1946, was banned as an ultranationalist association by the American occupation authorities. The Kokuryūkai was also identified as the center of an expansionist conspiracy to steer Japan towards war with the Western powers.In the absence of detailed studies of the Kokuryūkai, this article aims to clarify the organization's political views and activities and to demonstrate its influence on Japanese foreign relations and involvement in East Asia in the early twentieth century. Drawing on primary sources such as the association's publications and its leaders' memoranda and letters, I show that the Kokuryūkai engaged in intensive networking activities and the accumulation of social capital involving not only Japanese but also Chinese and Korean politicians and diplomats. Nevertheless, I conclude that the association's influence on the origins of the Asia-Pacific War should not be overstated, since its activities reached a climax in the late 1910s and effectively ended with the death of founder Uchida Ryōhei in 1937.

Updates to Policies and Procedures Related to Potential Scientific and Academic Misconduct in the Journals of the American Diabetes Association

On behalf of the American Diabetes Association (ADA), we are indebted to the departing editorial teams of Diabetes and Diabetes Care , led by Peter C. Butler, MD, and Vivian A. Fonseca, MD, respectively. Over the last five years, both editorial teams have not only taken great efforts to cement the status of Diabetes and Diabetes Care as the premier journals devoted to diabetes research, but they have also diligently worked to ensure that research published in ADA journals adheres to international standards and requirements for biomedical publications. Based on the input of Drs. Butler and Fonseca and their editorial teams, as well as the recommendations of various publications policy advisory groups (most notably the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors and the World Association of Medical Editors), the Association's Publications Policy Committee (PPC) has recently completed a comprehensive review of the publication policies and procedures for Diabetes and Diabetes Care . As part of the review process, ADA has made important updates to its policies and procedures related to potential academic and scientific misconduct in manuscripts submitted to its journals. We highly encourage all authors to review both the publication policies (1,2) and the instructions for authors (3,4) for Diabetes and Diabetes Care . The following are three important updates that authors should be aware of before submitting their work to the journals. First, to help protect against the publication of plagiarized and previously published work, Diabetes and Diabetes Care adopted a widely used plagiarism detection system (5) in 2009. The system scans the text of submitted papers and compares it to a comprehensive and growing database of full-text scholarly …

Quid pro quo: tobacco companies and the black press.

We explored the relationship between tobacco companies and the Black press, which plays an important role in conveying information and opinions to Black communities. In this archival case study, we analyzed data from internal tobacco industry documents and archives of the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA), the trade association of the Black press. In exchange for advertising dollars and other support, the tobacco industry expected and received support from Black newspapers for tobacco industry policy positions. Beginning in the 1990s, resistance from within the Black community and reduced advertising budgets created counterpressures. The tobacco industry, however, continued to sustain NNPA support. The quid pro quo between tobacco companies and the Black press violated journalistic standards and represented an unequal trade. Although numerous factors explain today's tobacco-related health disparities, the Black press's service to tobacco companies is problematic because of the trust that the community placed in such media. Understanding the relationship between the tobacco industry and the NNPA provides insight into strategies that the tobacco industry may use in other communities and countries.

Pressing the Press

During twenty-five years as owner/publisher of West Virginia's largest newspaper, the Charleston Gazette, W.E. Chilton III developed a journalism philosophy that he called “sustained outrage.” Newspapers too often failed, he argued to the Southern Newspaper Publishers Association in 1983, to examine “basic injustices and fundamental idiocies.” This philosophy was underscored by a deep belief that newspapers were dying at their own hands by pursuing profit rather than robust democratic debate. Thus, in 1980 and 1986, he ordered his reporters to launch two in-depth investigations into his fellow West Virginia newspaper owners and publishers. This study explores these unusual investigations within the context of historical industry criticism and ongoing concerns over the fate of First Amendment values without a vigorous press.

What I Know

The topic of this journal issue is on out-of-school art education - a subject of great interest to me, as I have taught art in correctional settings, a residential treatment school, recreational organizations, retirement homes, nursing homes, homeless shelters, and in other community-based settings. What I have learned from these out-ofschool teaching experiences often has motivated my research, as have the numerous folk artists with whom I have worked over the years. While frequently overlooked as educators in community-based settings, folk artists provide communities with rich cultural expressions that help individuals and groups establish identity, purpose, and problem-solving skills (Congdon, 2005).This journal is also the last Studies issue published under my editorship. Just as I have attempted to pass on lessons from my communitybased work, I will pass on what I know about Studies to Laurie Hicks, the next senior editor. It is, after all, what Doug Blandy did for me when I took over the position. Passing on information is what we do as educators. We don't hold onto knowledge and wisdom; instead, we (attempt to) teach it to others.The knowledge I pass on to Laurie about Studies is mostly technical and has to do with forms, policies, deadlines, and ways of working with authors and board members. Whatever wisdom I have accumulated in my role as Studies editor, however, is different. This is a deeper kind of knowledge that is harder to putto put into words, as it is learned through experience. There is a rhythm to publishing Studies, and a teamwork that makes it function successfully. Having a good team to work with is truly a blessing. My assistant and associate editors, Amy Barnickel and Laurie, were ever-present, dependable, and professional. Their commitment and support was unwavering. Julie Voelker-Morris was excellent as a copyeditor. My good fortune extends to Karen Keifer-Boyd, the Commentary Editor, and Sara Wilson McKay, the Media Review Editor. Past Editor Doug Blandy guided me through a few sticky issues, and the Board provided stellar reviews with keen insights and helpful direction. And no senior editor could have a better publishing partner than Lynn Ezell, the National Art Education Association's Publications Manager. I am grateful to her and everyone at NAEA who supported and championed a redesign for Studies during difficult economic times. I was lucky; I had a strong community of editors and reviewers as I became part of Studies' publishing culture. The journal will now change as new editors and reviewers take over. Lessons I have learned from this experience will stay with me.I continue to learn from collaborative experiences, and I marvel at all the creative and successful partnerships that come from sharing knowledge, objects, ideas, stories, and spaces. Collaborations provide individuals with knowledge and the experience of being part of a group. Increasingly, as D.I.Y. communities expand, more people are joining artistic communities. One example is the 3rd Ward in Brooklyn, an art and design incubator for innovation where members gain access to media labs, wood working tools, and photographic studios (Ryzik, July 3, 2010). While the 3rd Ward facilitates the exchange of knowledge by providing studio space, teachers, and event planners, other kinds of learning are often facilitated through participatory artworks in museum settings. For example, in the summer of 2010, Rivane Neuenschwander engaged visitors in exchanging wishes at the New Museum in New York City. Approaching a wall of colored ribbons, museumgoers were invited to write a wish on a ribbon and re-place it on the wall for someone else's wish. By this action, the artist has turned private desire into collective responsibility (Rosenberg, 2010, C21). What often makes outof-school education so powerful is the opportunity to invent, play, and bring together ideas in new and different ways. The space doesn't have to be fancy or elaborate. …

Newspaper Monopolies under the Microscope: The Celler Hearings of 1963

Early in 1963, United States Representative Emanuel Celler, chairman of the House Antitrust Subcommittee, took a bold step. As part of his committee's long examination of monopolistic practices in major US industries, Celler called newspaper publishers to participate in a series of hearings about the concentration of ownership in the newspaper industry. Discontinued twice, the hearings have remained somewhat of a mystery, with no official documentation of the proceedings available among government records. This research sheds additional light on the Celler Hearings of 1963, characterizes the approaches congressmen and publishers used in the hearings, and contributes a new perspective on why the hearings were discontinued. The article uses press reports, the personal papers of Emanuel Celler, the files of the House Antitrust Subcommittee, government documents, and American Newspaper Publishers Association documents to piece together the narrative. From the facts uncovered, the research concludes that publisher opposition to the hearings and Celler's role in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 brought a premature end to government's first attempt to curb the concentration of ownership in the newspaper industry.
