Effects of sexual stimulation on plasma levels of LH and testosterone in rams from high- and low-fertility flocks.

Plasma LH and testosterone levels did not differ significantly between high and low fertility rams before or after sexual stimulation (ejaculation or teasing). Repeated stimulation caused significant elevation of mean plasma LH and an almost significant rise in testosterone concentration. Plasma testosterone peaks followed those of LH after 30-60 min. A single sexual stimulation did not always cause an LH peak or increase the mean LH level.

Herpes zoster reactivation of phantom limb pain.

A case is reported in which a herpes zoster infection caused recurrence of phantom limb pain in a man whose left arm had been amputated 7 years previously. It is, to our knowledge, the first such case reported, and it shows the importance of peripheral mechanisms in the generation of phantom limb pain.

Reported consequences of decriminalization of consensual adult homosexuality in seven American states.

This article reports results of a survey of police officials, prosecuting attorneys, and members of homosexual groups in the seven states that had decriminalized private homosexual behavior between consenting adults. Despite the dire predictions of many, the responses indicate that, among other things, decriminalization has had no effect on the involvement of homosexuals with minors, the use of force by homosexuals, or the amount of private homosexual behavior. Additionally, decriminalization reportedly eased somewhat the problems of the homosexual community and allowed the police to devote more time to the investigation of what generally are regarded as more serious criminal offenses.
