This preliminary study was designed to develop empirically a scale of compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) and to test its reliability and validity in a sample of individuals with nonparaphilic CSB (N = 15), in a sample of pedophiles (N = 35) in treatment for sexual offending, and in a sample of normal controls (N = 42). Following a factor analysis and a varimax rotation, those items with factor loadings on the rotated factors of greater than .60 were retained.

Method: Forty-five male subjects with pedophilia who were participating in residential or outpatient sex offender treatment programs were recruited to participate. Subjects were interviewed by using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV.
The purpose of this study was to determine some of the morphological and biochemical effects of sodium morrhuate injections into intact rabbit patellar tendons and Achilles tendons. The effects of one, three, and five 100 microliters injections of sodium morrhuate on tendon circumference, cell content, collagen fibril diameter, collagen-proteoglycan relationships, water content, amino sugar content, and hydroxyproline content were investigated over periods of 1, 4, and 9 weeks. In general, sodium morrhuate injected tendons were larger in diameter and contained more cells, smaller collagen fibrils, increased water and amino sugar content, and reduced hydroxyproline content compared with their contralateral controls.
