This article is a report from the New Zealand Mail, 1 August 1906, which covered Professor John Salmond's inaugural address as the chair of law at Victoria College (now Victoria University of Wellington). Professor Salmond dealt with the subject of international law with regards to the conditions of modern warfare. He discusses important international treaties, the role of the civil population, and what would happen if war came to New Zealand. Professor Salmond concludes that a key player in resolving international disputes was arbitration, which he believed was full of hope and promise for the future.

Queer Communities

There is a critical and ongoing need for the expansion of competency among social workers related to understanding queer identities and issues related to positionality within queer communities. It is also important to continually examine the evolving terminology and context through which the term queer has been defined over the years and relevant challenges with connectedness to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. Age cohort associations and the role of intersectionality also have relevance and underscore the multidimensional discourse necessary to develop effective competency, and engage in affirming practice with queer communities. Social worker practitioners must understand the implications for best practices associated with establishing and maintaining an affirming therapeutic alliance with queer clients, as well as the continued need for research related to understanding the unique needs of queer identities and the queer community at-large.

Summary In the past decade there has been a rapid increase in gender diversity, particularly in children and young people, with referrals to specialist gender clinics rising. In this article, the evolving terminology around transgender health is considered and the role of psychiatry is explored now that this condition is no longer classified as a mental illness. The concept of conversion therapy with reference to alternative gender identities is examined critically and with reference to psychiatry's historical relationship with conversion therapy for homosexuality. The authors consider the uncertainties that clinicians face when dealing with something that is no longer a disorder nor a mental condition and yet for which medical interventions are frequently sought and in which mental health comorbidities are common.

This study is aimed to assess the role of hepatic steatosis (HS) on outcome of conversion therapy for patients with initially unresectable synchronous colorectal liver-limited metastases (CLLMs). We identified 346 patients with initially unresectable CLLMs received conversion therapy under the guidance of multidisciplinary team (MDT) in Zhongshan hospital (2013 to 2016). HS status of all patients was evaluated before the first circle of conversion therapy. The objective response rate (ORR), hepatectomy rate, predictor of conversion hepatectomy, and overall survival (OS) were compared using propensity-score matching (PSM). Predictive value of HS in conversion hepatectomy was validated with a separate cohort of 60 patients initially unresectable CLLMs who received conversion therapy (2017 to 2018). Before conversion therapy start, 108 (31.2%) patients were detected with HS status. In study set after PSM, compared with non-HS group, HS group supplied improved ORR (36.7% vs 23.9%, P = 0.020), hepatectomy rate from MDT (27.7% vs. 16.9%, P < 0.001) following conversion therapy. Multivariate analysis confirmed that HS (OR, 5.234; 95%CI, 2.398–11.423, P < 0.001), targeted therapy and transarterial chemoembolization treatment were independent predictors of hepatectomy rate. In the validation cohort, patients with HS had an improved conversion hepatectomy rate (43.7% vs. 15.9%, P = 0.038) following conversion therapy. Hepatic steatosis status could be a predictor of conversion hepatectomy in patients with synchronous colorectal liver-limited metastases. This effect appears to be independent of use of targeted therapy.
