Aetiology of non-gonococcal urethritis: a possible relation to other infections.
Chlamydia trachomatis can be identified in up to 60% of cases of nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) and the aetiology of most of the remainder is obscure. This paper reports a role for other genitourinary (GU) infections such as candidiasis, warts and herpes simplex, in the causation of NGU. One hundred and ten men fulfilled the entry criteria which included the probability that their contacts would attend the department. Fifty-four of the 110 men had GU infections other than NGU; 56 had no other infections. NGU was detected in 31 (57%) of cases with other GU infections and 8 (26%) were chlamydiae-positive: in contrast NGU was found in only 10 (18%) of those with none of the other infections and 3 (30%) were chlamydiae-positive. Chlamydiae-negative NGU was, therefore, more common in those with other GU infections. Forty-five (86%) of 52 contacts of 41 patients with NGU had various GU infections such as candidosis and anaerobic vaginosis, in contrast with other GU infections in only 7 (23%) of 30 contacts of men with no other GU infections. Other GU infections in patients and their contacts appeared significantly related to the presence of chlamydiae-negative NGU.

Cannabis psychosis and paranoid schizophrenia.
The initial clinical symptoms of 25 consecutive cases of cannabis psychosis of the paranoid type and 25 consecutive cases of paranoid schizophrenia were studied and compared, in order to delineate features that would enable a differentiation of the two conditions. It was observed that the patients with cannabis psychosis substantially differed in terms of behavioral manifestations. Most of these patients were violent and panicky and demonstrated bizzare behavior, but they possessed some insight into the nature of their illness. Schizophrenic patients manifested these disturbances and characteristics less frequently. Subjects with cannabis psychosis showed rapid ideation and flight of ideas, whereas the characteristic schizophrenic thought-disorder was found mostly in schizophrenic patients.
