%X Objective??? Compare the career profiles of a cohort of Standardbred horses that first raced as 2-year-olds with those that started their racing careers at a later age. Method??? Retrospective analysis of the racing records of all foals born in New South Wales in the 2000 foaling season. Results??? The career records of 999 horses were analysed. Almost half (43.9%) first raced as 2-year-olds and one-third (33.9%) as 3-year-olds. The median career duration for horses that first raced as 2-year-olds was 2.93 years (interquartile range (IQR) 2.70-3.16), which was significantly greater than the median for horses that first raced at 3, 4 or ???5 years old (P < 0.001). Males, and horses that first raced as 2-year-olds, earned significantly more prize money than females or horses that started racing aged ???3 years (P < 0.001). The population median number of career starts was 28.0 (IQR 8-64). Males, and horses that first raced as 2-year-olds, had significantly more career starts than females or horses that started racing aged ???3 years (P < 0.001). Conclusion??? This study found no evidence suggesting that racing as a 2-year-old had a deleterious effect on a horse''s racing career.

%X Abstract The purpose of this study was to use a questionnaire based on the discrepancy model to assess the factors contributing to satisfaction and dissatisfaction with private outpatient physiotherapy services in Sydney; to test the applicability of the "consumer model" to physiotherapy practice, and to identify the criteria used to assess quality. The following information was collected: client demographics and history; expectations, and perceptions of 12 dimensions relating to the service received; satisfaction with previous care providers; reasons for seeking therapy; causes of previous dissatisfaction; the criteria used to assess quality; and a global assessment of satisfaction. The response rate was 69.3%. Overall satisfaction was best correlated with the therapist''s willingness to discuss positive and negative aspects of treatment (r = 0.71). The findings indicate that dissatisfied clients change health care providers, as predicted by the consumer model. This calls into question the value of surveys administered to clients during therapy, as the continuation of treatment implies a degree of satisfaction. The highest expectations were recorded in the six dimensions related to the client-therapist interaction. The measurement of expectations in the domains assessed added little value as expectations were universally high. Criteria related to outcomes and the client-therapist interaction were the most frequently reported contributors to previous dissatisfaction.

%X Background: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common problem in ageing men. Abnormalities in sexual arousal may contribute to its development, and to the failure of pharmacological therapies. However, there are few objective ways of assessing arousal. Sexual arousal has been shown to affect vibrotactile detection thresholds (VDT) in young, healthy men. The present study assessed the effects of sexual arousal on VDT in middle-aged men with and without ED in order to determine whether differences exist between the groups and if such differences may be useful in the evaluation of ED. Methods: VDT in the right index finger of 15 heterosexual men (mean age 74.3 +/- 6.0 years) who had been formally diagnosed with ED (ED group) and 16 men (mean age 68.0 +/- 6.6 years) who reported no sexual dysfunction in the past 6 months (erectile function (EF) group) were measured before and after watching erotic and control videos using a forced-choice, staircase method at frequencies of 30, 60 and 100 Hz. A mechanical stimulator was used to produce the vibratory stimulus. Results were analysed using repeated-measures analysis of variance. Results: There was no significant effect of watching the erotic video on VDT in subjects in the ED group. In the EF group, VDT was significantly lower at 60 and 100 Hz after watching the erotic video. There was no change in VDT after watching the control video in either group. Conclusion: In response to sexual arousal, VDT in ageing men with normal erectile function decrease, whereas VDT in ageing men with ED remain unchanged.

%X This study examined the effects of sexual arousal on vibration detection thresholds in the right index finger of 30 healthy, heterosexual males who reported no sexual dysfunction. Vibrotactile detection thresholds at frequencies of 30, 60, and 100 Hz were assessed before and after watching erotic and control videos using a forced-choice, staircase method. A mechanical stimulator was used to produce the vibratory stimulus. Results were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance. After watching the erotic video, the vibrotactile detection thresholds at 30, 60, and 100 Hz were significantly reduced (p < .01). No changes in thresholds were detected at any frequency following exposure to the non-erotic stimulus. The results show that sexual arousal resulted in an increase in vibrotactile sensitivity to low frequency stimuli in the index finger of sexually functional men.

%X Although it is known that alterations in grip strength occur under a number of conditions, little is known about relationships between grip strength and sexual arousal. This relationship was investigated in 30 healthy heterosexual males, who viewed both erotic and nonerotic videos. A questionnaire was used to assess the extent of sexual arousal. The grip strengths of both hands were measured with a five-position (P1-P5) dynamometer, before and after watching the videos. After watching the erotic video, there was a statistically significant reduction in grip strength for the P2 position, with nonsignificant overall reductions in grip strength for all other positions tested. No such effect was observed in control tests. The results indicate that during sexual arousal, the neural system is likely to reduce the output to muscles not directly related to sexual function, presumably to enhance the physiological responses of sexual arousal.
