Ramifications of late luteal phase dysphoric disorder diagnosis.

This article examines the major clinical, sociological, and research implications associated with the diagnosis of late luteal phase dysphoric disorder (LLPDD) as currently defined in the DSM-III-R Appendix A, the diagnostic handbook used to define psychiatric disorders. Evidence supports use of this diagnosis, albeit with strict adherence to the criteria. The recognition, use, and impact of the LLPDD diagnosis as a women's health care issue is discussed.

Dialysis access via a right ventricular assist device.

In this report, we describe the successful utilization of an external right ventricular assist device as vascular access for hemodialysis and continuous arteriovenous hemodialysis in a critically ill patient on biventricular mechanical assist support. Utilization of the right ventricular assist device lines provided relatively easy and safe dialysis access and temporarily reduced the risks associated with the conventional vascular access techniques.
