Autistic Adults Experience Higher PTSD Symptoms Relating to Motor Vehicle Accidents than Non-Autistic Adults.

Purpose: Autistic adults experience high rates of traumatic events and PTSD. However, little work has evaluated motor vehicle accident (MVA) related trauma symptoms. The goal of this brief report was to provide pilot data characterizing MVA-related peritraumatic reactions, trauma symptoms, and rates of PTSD diagnosis and mental health service use among Autistic compared to non-autistic adults.

New taxonomic and faunistic data on Liocranidae (Arachnida: Araneae) of West Palaearctic), with nine new species of Mesiotelus Simon, 1897.

New taxonomic data and distribution records on liocranid spiders in the West Palaearctic are provided. Nine species of Mesiotelus Simon, 1897 are described as new to science: M. alanyensis Zamani, Fomichev, Kaya & Marusik, sp.

New taxonomic and faunistic data on the funnel-weavers (Araneae, Agelenidae) of Turkiye and the Caucasus, with five new species.

New taxonomic and faunistic data on the agelenid spiders of Turkiye and the Caucasus are provided. Five species are described as new to science: (♂♀; Turkiye: Antalya), (♂♀; Turkiye: Antalya), (♂; Turkiye: Antalya), (♂♀; Georgia: Imereti), and (♂♀; Armenia: Kotayk). Dimitrov, 2020, is proposed as a new junior synonym of Brignoli, 1978.

An augmented reality dual-task intervention improves postural stability in individuals with Parkinson's disease.

Background: The Dual-task Augmented Reality Treatment (DART) trial recently established that dual-task training (DTT) delivered by a physical therapist or the augmented reality DART platform was effective in improving spatiotemporal gait parameters under single- and dual-task conditions in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Data regarding postural stability were not reported in the primary outcome manuscript.

Objective: The aim of this secondary analysis was to compare the effects of a Traditional DTT intervention delivered by a physical therapist and DTT delivered by the DART platform on postural stability, functional mobility, and turning in individuals with PD.
