Perception of physical variables during four phases of the menstrual cycle.

Comparisons of perceptions during four menstrual phases were collected with 6 regularly menstruating athletes who responded to a semantic differentiation scale containing descriptive polar terms. Analysis indicated a significantly lower mean score on perceived strength and speed during the progestational phase and a lower mean for power during menstrual and progestational phases.

The treatment of fractures of the proximal humerus.

Fractures of the proximal humerus, which can not be kept in place after reposition--and therefore not acceptable for conservative treatment--can be sufficiently fixed by a thin and long Rush-pin percutaneously introduced. So the damaged arm can be moved early. No inflammation and no pseudarthrosis was observed in 124 cases. The follow up examination of 98 patients after 6 to 12 months revealed good results. In 4 children the fractured neck of the humerus could not be reposed into a proper position (Interposition of periosteum and joint capsule). After open reduction fixation was performed by Kirschner's wires. We observed fast and complete healing in all cases.
