Objective The Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) is the most commonly used clinician-rated evaluation tool for Tourette syndrome (TS), with established reliability and validity.This study aims to determine whether the YGTSS is a valid parent-reported assessment in the TS population.Design A prospective cohort study.Setting A major medical centr
Advanced stereopsis and predatory adaptation in a Cretaceous mantis
Visual systems have been crucial for animals to detect light signals.Binocular stereopsis has affected prey-predator re lationships throughout animal evolution by providing depth perception, among others.However, it has been difficult to reconstruct extinct binocular functions due to a lack of suitable fossil material.Here, we show, based on morpho
Melatonin for premenstrual syndrome: A potential remedy but not ready
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), a recurrent and moderate disorder that occurs during the luteal phase of the Wash menstrual cycle and quickly resolves after menstruation, is characterized by somatic and emotional discomfort that can be severe enough to impair daily activities.Current therapeutic drugs for PMS such as selective serotonin reuptake inhib
Lichens of neglected habitats in Eastern and East-Central European lowlands
Situation of lichens of aquatic and transient habitats in Eastern and East-Central European lowlands is discussed basing on example of several selected species: Leptogium biatorinum, Sarcosagium campestre, Steinia geophana, Verrucaria aquatilis, V.hydrela, V.praetermissa, V.xyloxena.Both habitat types are generally Bag very much neglected in the re
Performance Analysis of a Defected Ground-Structured Antenna Loaded with Stub-Slot for 5G Communication
In this paper, a defected ground-structured antenna with a stub-slot configuration is proposed for future 5G wireless applications.A simple stub-slot configuration is used in the patch antenna to get the dual band frequency response in the 5G mid-band and the upper unlicensed frequency region.Further, a 2-D double period Electronic band gap (EBG) P
