The childhood health effects of an improved water supply system on a remote Panamanian island
Ryder RW, Reeves WC, Singh N, et al: Am J Trop Med Hyg 34:921-924, 1985
When fresh water came to the island of Tupile, the inci- dence of impetigo and scabies was sharply down compared to a "control island" nearby. Other diseases, especially the childhood enteropathies, were studied as well.

Systemic lupus erythematosus and reproductive function: A case-control study
Grimes DA, LeBolt SA, Grimes KR, et al: Am J Obstet Gynecol 153:179-186, 1985
This thoughtful study of the causes of systemic lupus er- ythematosus cites the protective effect of the elimination of menses on the overall risk of the disease in women, Theories are discussed, especially concerning retrograde menstruation.
