Facilitating Real-World Advance Care Planning
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2854964
Advance care planning (ACP) and serious illness communication guides complex medical care and is widely recommended in national guidelines, quality metrics, and Medicare policy, which has allowed physician reimbursement for ACP conversations since 2016. Yet prior research reveals disparities in serious illness care among Black individuals in the United States, and there is a paucity of research on the effectiveness of ACP interventions among them. Possible reasons for these disparities include, but are not limited to, inequitable access to health care and justifiable distrust in the health system.

Catching Up With the Propaganda for Health
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2855030
Any one who reads popular periodicals or follows the current trends in folk psychology and national habits of thought can readily discover the growing popular enthusiasm for the conservation of health. Obviously, all matters of health and disease are of foremost concern to the physician; in him rests the largest public obligation as well as personal necessity of keeping abreast not only of the discoveries that bear on diagnosis and treatment but also of the features somewhat indefinitely described as preventive medicine. Every professional organization to which he belongs is in some way identified with the program of modern public hygiene.

Survivors of Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2855028
To the Editor A recent Review provided a comprehensive discussion regarding long-term management of patients born with cyanotic congenital heart disease. As maternal-fetal medicine specialists, we would like to highlight the maternal and neonatal risks associated with both repaired and unrepaired cyanotic congenital heart disease in pregnancy and emphasize that all of these reproductive-aged patients should have pregnancy intentions routinely evaluated and be provided access to contraception, preconception, and multidisciplinary pregnancy care as appropriate.

Review on Adult Male Hypogonadism
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2855027
To the Editor A recent review of adult male hypogonadism thoroughly discussed several important treatment-related adverse effects and safety considerations of testosterone use, including erythrocytosis, venous thromboembolic events, blood pressure elevation, and prostate-related monitoring. However, one clinically important adverse effect of testosterone therapy was overlooked: suppression of spermatogenesis and the subsequent risk of infertility in reproductive-aged men.
