The hormonal status and uterine contractility in the non-pregnant female.
A study was conducted to evaluate the possible correlation between uterine contractility patterns and plasma progesterone levels and between these contractility patterns and the local administration of progesterone released from an intrauterine Silastic capsule. 33 recordings during 16 woman-cycles were made of 4 women and 65 recordings over a period of 20 cycles were made in 3 female Rhesus monkeys. Results indicated no clear association between uterine contractility patterns and either circulating plasma progesterone levels or local intrauterine progesterone administration as used in this study.
The Learning Style Questionnaire and the Children's Nowicki-Strickland I-E Control Scale were given to 128 boys and girls in Grades 8 and 11 in the La Grande (Oregon) School District. Each subject's previous year's grade point average was obtained to determine the relationships among hemisphericity, locus of control, and achievement. Also assessed, including interactions, were differences in hemisphericity, locus of control, and achievement by sex and grade. There was a significant relationship (of low practical value) between locus of control and GPA only. The difference in hemisphericity scores with respect to grade was significant.
