Curvilinearity has been found for sexual frequency, but research has not examined whether curvilinear associations exist for other aspects of sexual relationships like orgasm consistency. We examined whether there is curvilinearity and the nature of that curvilinearity between orgasm consistency and sexual and relational satisfaction for men and women. With pooled samples of 1,619 and 1,695 men and women from Amazon's Mechanical Turk, we examined the differences of orgasm consistency values and both sexual satisfaction and relationship satisfaction through analysis of variance. We then tested for curvilinearity between orgasm consistency and sexual and relational satisfaction with regression analyses. For men we found no evidence of a curvilinear relationship, but for women we found a curvilinear relationship between orgasm consistency values and both sexual satisfaction and relationship satisfaction. Across tests, the overall picture suggests that there is no curvilinear association for men, but thE, Leonhardt ND, Busby DM, etal. When Is Enough Enough?

Visual attention to sexual stimuli is an important means to facilitate sexual arousal and is thereby relevant for healthy sexual functioning. Experimental studies suggest that sexual dysfunction is associated with less attention toward sexual stimuli. The goal of this study was to use an eye-tracking-based free-viewing paradigm to investigate whether women in the clinical range of sexual function attend to a genital area in visual sexual stimuli differently than women with subclinical sexual function or those with normal sexual functioning. Toward this goal, 69 women (M =27.77, SD=8.00, range=19-54) with clinical (n=30), subclinical (n=23), and normal (n=16) levels of sexual functioning watched a series of 10 pictures depicting heterosexual couples during vaginal intercourse while their eye movements were recorded. Each picture was presented twice-once with a distracting object (eg, a to-do list or household appliance) present in the picture and once without-for 8seconds, each. 5 eye-tracking measurethe cross-sectional nature of this study prevents causal interpretation of findings. Future studies should use experimental paradigms to determine the causal role of visual attention for the development or maintenance of sexual dysfunction.

Surgical fixation of hip fractures is a common procedure at teaching hospitals with resident support and in community hospitals. We evaluated to what extent participation by residents in hip fracture fixation affects operative times or outcomes. Operations were performed by three surgeons who operate at a teaching hospital with resident support, and at a community hospital without residents in the same metropolitan area. We performed a retrospective analysis of operative time and early post-operative outcomes on a series of 314 patients with hip fractures (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen/Orthopaedic Trauma Association A1-3, B1-3) treated with surgical fixation between April 2012 and March 2015; 177 patients at the community hospital, and 137 at the teaching hospital. Multivariate regression assessed the effect of hospital type, adjusting for age, gender, American Society of Anesthesiologist classification, and Charlson comorbidity index. We found lower median operative time at the comm as there are many other factors related to mortality. To describe the development and report psychometric properties of the Contact Lens Risk Survey (CLRS) to identify patients at risk for soft contact lens-related complications. Psychometric properties of the CLRS, a web-based survey with branching logic, were determined using data from 5 multi-site fieldings (n = 1059), including re-fielding to sub groups. Responses from participants with and without an active red eye were used to identify risk factors of a red eye event and calculate an overall risk score. A 6th fielding of the CLRS (n = 171) was used to assess discriminate validity. Participants needed 11-12 min to complete the survey with a negligible difference by age. Internal consistency was excellent (Cronbach's α ≥ 0.70) for 3 of the 5 constructs identified by factor analysis. Twelve of the 17 survey items exhibited excellent within-subject repeatability (Kappa ≥ 0.61). Between-subject agreement, assessed in 18-25 year olds, was high for the majority of items, suggesting good generalizability across different populations of SCL wearers. The ability of the model using individual items of the CLRS to discriminate Controls and participants with a red eye was good with an area under the curve of 0.779. The CLRS tool is a repeatable and valid instrument to standardize documentation of demographic, behavior, and exposure factors which appear to drive the greatest risk of a contact lens related red eye event.The CLRS tool is a repeatable and valid instrument to standardize documentation of demographic, behavior, and exposure factors which appear to drive the greatest risk of a contact lens related red eye event. Although non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (EspAax-nr) is well understood within health institutions, being considered along with radiographic EspAax (EspAax-r) as part of the same disease spectrum, patient understanding is unknown. The aim is to describe the patient's knowledge of the EspAax-nr entity. Atlas 2017, promoted by the Spanish Federation of Spondylarthritis Associations (CEADE), aims to comprehensively understand the reality of EspAax patients from a holistic approach. A cross-sectional on-line survey of unselected patients with self-reported EspAax diagnosis from Spain was conducted. Participants were asked to report their diagnosis. Socio-demographic, disease characteristics and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) were compared between those patients self-reporting as EspAax-nr and EspAax-r. 634 EspAax patients participated. Mean age 45.7±10.9 years, 50.9% female and 36.1% university-educated. 35 (5.2%) self-reported as EspAax-nr. Compared to EspAax-r patients, those with EspAax-nr were more frequently women (48.
