Ovulation disturbances and mood across the menstrual cycles of healthy women.
J Psychosom Obstet Gynaecol

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the relationship between negative mood and ovulation, using data collected daily over a year from 62 women tracking their menstrual cycles and mood changes.
- It found that 72% of the cycles were normally ovulatory, while others showed shortened luteal phases or were anovulatory, with minor mood changes present in both ovulatory and anovulatory phases.
- Overall, mood variability was greater in anovulatory cycles, but mood scores were not significantly influenced by luteal phase length or hormone levels, suggesting typical mood fluctuations are amplified in women with more significant symptoms.
Medical school debt continues to grow at an ever increasing rate. We questioned whether the debt incurred by the residents finishing their training at the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita (UKSM-W) was overly burdensome. We surveyed all graduate anesthesiologists from UKSM-W.

- The study aimed to explore gender differences in the response to the SSRI citalopram for treating depression, analyzing data from a large sample of 2,876 patients.
- The findings revealed that women, despite presenting with more severe depressive symptoms and various comorbid conditions at the start, were more likely than men to achieve remission and respond positively to the treatment.
- The research suggests that these differences in response may be linked to biological factors related to serotonin systems in men and women.
Objective: Hormone-based contraceptives affect mood in healthy women or in women with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). No study has yet examined their association with mood in women with major depressive disorder (MDD). The purpose of this study was to determine whether estrogen-progestin combination or progestin-only contraceptives are associated with depression severity, function and quality of life, or general medical or psychiatric comorbidity in women with MDD.

We hypothesized that acute worsenings would be more frequent in premenopausal women, relative to men or postmenopausal women, and in women who had demonstrated premenstrual symptom exacerbations (PMEs) prior to treatment, relative to those who had demonstrated no PMEs.
Method: Subjects diagnosed with DSM-III-R chronic major depressive disorder or double depression (dysthymia with concurrent major depressive episode) were randomly assigned between February 1993 and December 1994 to 12 weeks of double-blind treatment with flexibly-dosed sertraline or imipramine, with crossover to the alternate drug in the absence of response.
The objective of this study was to estimate the effects of intramuscular haloperidol and lorazepam on the QT interval in volunteers with schizophrenia. Intramuscular haloperidol and intramuscular lorazepam are standard treatments in the acute management of agitation and aggression. Although prolongation of the QT interval and sequelae, including torsade de pointes and death, have been reported for haloperidol (but not lorazepam), formal studies have been lacking.
