Unlabelled: Cognitive-psychiatric features of Parkinson's disease (PD) are common and they may be as disabling as the motor features of the disease. PD has been associated with stoic and inflexible personality traits. While many features of personality have been studied in PD, a systematic study of anger trait and anger expression in PD has not been performed. We used the Spanish adapted version of the state-trait anger Expression Inventory-2 (STAXI-2), comprised of six scales and an anger expression index, to measure anger trait and anger expression. There were 126 PD patients with depressive symptoms and 126 age- and gender-matched controls. PD patients had lower levels of state anger (15.8 +/- 3.1 vs. 17.9 +/- 5.3, P < 0.001), trait anger (19.2 +/- 5.3 vs. 20.7 +/- 6.0, P < 0.05), anger expression-out (9.0 +/- 2.5 vs. 10.5 +/- 3.0, P < 0.001), and anger expression index (26.1 +/- 8.8 vs. 29.6 +/- 9.4, P = 0.002); and higher levels in anger expression-in (14.0 +/- 3.4 vs. 12.2 +/- 3.2, P < 0.001), anger control-out (18.6 +/- 5.0 vs. 16.1 +/- 5.0, P < 0.001), and anger control-in (14.3 +/- 4.7 vs. 13.0 +/- 4.5, P < 0.05) than controls. These differences persisted in analyses adjusting for age, gender, and depressive symptoms.
Conclusions: PD patients showed lower levels of external expression of anger and higher levels of control of anger. Our results demonstrate another dimension to the stoic personality trait seen in PD.

Nonverbal emotional vocalizations play a crucial role in conveying emotions during human interactions. Validated corpora of these vocalizations have facilitated emotion-related research and found wide-ranging applications. However, existing corpora have lacked representation from diverse cultural backgrounds, which may limit the generalizability of the resulting theories.

The liver is a unique organ where immunity can be biased toward ineffective response notably in the context of viral infections. Chronic viral hepatitis depends on the inability of the T-cell immune response to eradicate antigen. In the case of recombinant Adeno-Associated-Virus, used for therapeutic gene transfer, conflicting reports describe tolerance induction to different transgene products while other studies have shown conventional cytotoxic CD8 T cell responses with a rapid loss of transgene expression.

Intellectual Developmental Disorder with Dysmorphic Facies and Ptosis (IDDDFP) is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome caused by pathogenic variants in the BRPF1 gene, which is critical for chromatin regulation. This study expands the clinical and molecular spectrum of IDDDFP by analysing 29 new patients from 20 families with confirmed BRPF1 variants. Our cohort presented with a wide range of clinical features including developmental delay, intellectual disability (ID) and characteristic dysmorphic facial features such as ptosis, blepharophimosis and a broad nasal bridge.

Great efforts have been made in the last few decades to realize electronic devices based on organic molecules. A possible approach in this field is to exploit the chirality of organic molecules for the development of spintronic devices, an applicative way to implement the chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect. In this work we exploit enantiopure tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives as chiral inducers at the nanoscale.

This dataset was created to investigate the impact of data collection modes and pre-processing techniques on the quality of free comment data related to consumers' sensory perceptions. A total of 200 consumers were recruited and divided into two groups of 100. Each group evaluated six madeleine samples (five distinct samples and one replicate) in a sensory analysis laboratory, using different free comment data collection modes.
