The findings indicated that children with ODD require comprehensive services to address the stress of their parents. The study also provided support for the dynamic and longitudinal relations between specific dimensions of parenting stress and depressive symptoms among parents of children with or without ODD.Cannabaceae is a known family because of the production of cannabinoids in laticifers and glandular trichomes of Cannabis sativa. Laticifers are latex-secreting structures, which in Cannabaceae were identified only in C. sativa and Humulus lupulus. This study aimed to expand the knowledge of laticifers in Cannabaceae by checking their structural type and distribution, and the main classes of substances in the latex of Celtis pubescens, Pteroceltis tatarinowii, and Trema micrantha. Such information is also updated for C. sativa. Samples of shoot apices, stems, leaves, and flowers were processed for anatomical, histochemical, ultrastructural, and cytochemical analyses. Laticifers are articulated unbranched in all species instead of non-articulated as previously described for the family. They occur in all sampled organs. They are thick-walled, multinucleate, with a large vacuole and a peripheral cytoplasm. The cytoplasm is rich in mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, dictyosomes, ribosomes, and plastids containing starch grains and oil drops. Pectinase and cellulase activities were detected in the laticifer wall and vacuole, confirming its articulated origin, described by first time in the family. These enzymes promote the complete dissolution of the laticifer terminal walls. The latex contains proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides in addition to phenolics (C. sativa) and terpenes (C. pubescens, T. read more micrantha). The presence of laticifers with similar distribution and morphology supports the recent insertion of Celtis, Pteroceltis, and Trema in Cannabaceae. The articulated type of laticifer found in Cannabaceae, Moraceae, and Urticaceae indicates that the separation of these families by having distinct laticifer types should be reviewed.Heteranthery has been largely associated with a division of labour between anthers. Most species of Stigmaphyllon (Malpighiaceae) present heteromorphic anthers and glandular connectives of different development; yet, the functional meaning of this condition has never been explored in the genus. The aims of this study were to provide a comparative description of the structure and development of anthers and their connective glands in S. bonariense and S. jatrophifolium and to assess the existence of division of functions. Natural populations were selected to collect flowers at different stages. Anthers were subjected to morpho-anatomical, histochemical and pollen viability studies. For both species, abundance of pollen grains and size of anther and their connective glands were estimated. Three types of stamens are recognized stamen with small, intermediate and large anthers. Anthers of both species exhibit a similar glandular tissue in the connective, and the histochemical analysis revealed that it produce a mucilagous secretion. The pattern of anther wall development, stainability and release of pollen grains was identical among anther types. For both species, we observed a positive relationship between anther size and abundance of pollen grains, but an inverse relationship between area of anthers and size (area and thickness) of connective glands in small anthers vs. intermediate and large ones. Our results evidence a specialization of anthers related to division of labour between heteromorphic stamens in two species of Stigmaphyllon. Thus, one set of anthers produces large amount of pollen grains for pollination and another sets large quantities of mucilage, which would improve pollen transport (better adherence to pollinator body and dampness maintenance). Nevertheless, heteranthery in both Stigmaphyllon species would represent a transitional state towards the division of labour rather than a stable state.The original version of the article is unfortunately missing the Acknowledgments section.

The present study aimed to examine the internal consistency and concurrent validity of the PUTS by sex and psychiatric comorbidity status; and explored interactions between sex and psychiatric comorbidity in predicting premonitory urge and tic symptom severity. Seventy-four youth and young adults with persistent tic disorders completed the PUTS, while their parents completed the parent tic questionnaire (PTQ) and a demographic measure. Independent samples t-tests revealed no significant sex differences in PUTS items or total score. The PUTS total score also did not significantly differ between participants with and without attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and/or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) comorbidity. Internal consistency did not significantly differ between females (α = 0.85) and males (α = 0.75), and those with comorbid ADHD and/or OCD (α = 0.83) relative to those without (α = 0.69). With respect to concurrent validity, the PUTS total was significantly correlated with PTQ tic frequency, intensity, number, and severity for males but not for females. Among those with ADHD and/or OCD, the PUTS total score was correlated significantly and strongly with tic number and moderately with tic intensity. Interactions between sex and psychiatric comorbidity performed using 2 × 2 analysis of variance did not significantly predict the PUTS total or PTQ subscale scores. Findings suggest sex and comorbidity status may influence premonitory urge expression. Results have implications for understanding and measurement of the premonitory urge.The TANDEM investigation was carried out in 17 Italian Movement Disorder centers on behalf of a joint initiative of neurologist members of the Italian Academy for Parkinson's disease and Movement Disorders (LIMPE-DISMOV Academy) and gastroenterologist members of the Italian Society of Digestive Endoscopy (SIED) to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) in routine medical care. Motor scores in "ON" and OFF" state (UPDRS-III), complications of therapy (UPDRS-IV), activities of daily living, sleep disorders and quality of life were evaluated at baseline and at two follow-up assessments (FUV1 and FUV2) within the initial 12-month LCIG treatment. In 159 patients (55% males) with a mean age of 69.1 ± 6.6 years and a diagnosis of PD since 13.6 ± 5.5 years, the UPDRS-III total score (in "OFF") decreased from baseline (45.8 ± 13.2) to FUV1 (41.0 ± 17.4; p  less then  0.001) and FUV2 (40.5 ± 15.5; p  less then  0.001), the UPDRS-IV total score decreased from baseline (8.
