Use of psychiatric services by homeless veterans.

Patients treated in a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) emergency room were evaluated to delineate the differences in use of services between homeless and domiciled veterans who have mental disorders. Data were obtained and compared on DSM-III-R diagnoses, number of hospitalizations, lengths of stay, and outpatient visits in the preceding year. Homeless veterans with mental disorders were significantly more likely to have emergency visits and psychiatric admissions in the preceding 12 months than were the domiciled veterans. However, the average length of stay was shorter for the homeless group. These differences must be accounted for in the design of programs targeting homeless veterans with mental illness.

Central nervous system involvement in congenital visceral fibromatosis.

Congenital visceral myofibromatosis is an uncommon disorder characterized by multiple tumors of myofibroblastic origin in the neonatal period. The natural history of the disorder has been well delineated. The myofibroblast is the cell of origin of the tumor. This is a report of a patient in whom multiple mesenchymal tumors occurred in the CNS as well as in other organs. Light and electron microscopic findings of the CNS lesions are similar to those of the somites and viscera.
