Seven pairs of rhesus monkeys consisting of adult males and adult, ovariectomized females were tested for sexual behavior. Behavioral tests were conducted under two patterns of estradiol treatment of the females. Under the "constant estrogen" condition, females were given SC injections of 10 micrograms estradiol benzoate on 28 consecutive days. Under the "cyclic estrogen" condition, females were given 28 days of estradiol treatment at varying doses based upon the artificial menstrual cycle devised by Michael, Zumpe and Bonsall (6). Rates of male mounting, hip-touch (incomplete mounts), and male threaten-away behavior (redirected aggression) increased during estradiol administration. Mounting peaked at the time of the highest estrogen dosage in the cyclic treatment condition, but was highest during the first portion of the period of constant treatment. Hip-touch and threaten-away behaviors were more frequent in the constant condition than during cyclic treatment. The high levels of these behaviors during the constant treatment suggest a lack of coordination between male and female motivation which is overcome by providing estradiol stimulation in a pattern which mimics the menstrual cycle.

Hip fractures are one of the most common and potentially devastating injuries in the geriatric population. The incidence, morbidity, and health care costs associated with hip fracture among older persons are well recognized. Because of the complex health care needs of the elderly, rehabilitation after a hip fracture can present a challenge at a time when the nursing workforce and health care funding are declining. Aggressive rehabilitation focusing on continuity of care and attention to the cognitive as well as physiologic status results in effective and cost-effective rehabilitation.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether preoperative gait adaptations persist one year after THR in the same set of subjects. The hypothesis tested was that hip dynamic range of motion and peak external moments during walking return to normal after THR. Hip kinematics and kinetics were measured for 28 subjects before and one year after THR and compared to those of 25 subjects with radiographically normal hips. All THR subjects improved clinically after surgery with Harris hip scores improving from 33-85 (average 53) to 61-100 (average 95) (sign test p<0.001). Preoperatively dynamic hip range of motion (ROM), and all peak external moments were reduced compared to normal (Mann-Whitney p< or =0.040). Improvement was seen in the ROM and all but the frontal plane, and external rotation peak moments (Friedman p< or =0.023). The preoperative and postoperative values of the ROM, and peak flexion, abduction and external rotation moments were all significantly correlated (Spearman p<0.020) indicating a possible learned effect from before THR surgery. Postoperative THR subjects continued to have a significantly lower than normal ROM, and peak adduction and peak internal rotation moments (Mann-Whitney p< or =0.003). Despite good to excellent clinical functional outcome, gait in THR patients does not return to normal by one year after surgery. Aggressive muscle strengthening is currently not emphasized after THR surgery. Some THR patients may benefit from more intensive rehabilitation before and after surgery.

The use of muscle flaps is now accepted as a method for coverage of infected wounds. To obtain complete eradication of infection following hip arthroplasty surgery is combined with antibiotic treatment. Aggressive debridment to remove devitalized tissue followed by vastus lateralis muscle flap transposition may improve the likelihood of success in certain challenging cases. We report two cases of prosthetic joint infection treated by aggressive debridment and vastus lateralis transposition with associated appropriate antibiotic therapy. Complete recovery of functional status was observed.
