This study aimed to provide further validity evidence for the dimensional measurement of gender identity and gender dysphoria in both adolescents and adults. Adolescents and adults with gender identity disorder (GID) were compared to clinical control (CC) adolescents and adults on the Gender Identity/Gender Dysphoria Questionnaire for Adolescents and Adults (GIDYQ-AA), a 27-item scale originall...

The development of neural transplantation as a treatment for Parkinson's disease has been compromised by a lack of functional efficacy and the appearance of transplant-induced motor side-effects in some patients. Since the first reports of these graft-induced dyskinesias (GID), and the realization of their impact on the progress of the field, a great deal of experimental work has been performed...

In this article, I review the diagnostic criteria for Gender Identity Disorder (GID) in children as they were formulated in the DSM-III, DSM-III-R, and DSM-IV. The article focuses on the cumulative evidence for diagnostic reliability and validity. It does not address the broader conceptual discussion regarding GID as "disorder," as this issue is addressed in a companion article by Meyer-Bahlbur...

BACKGROUND Investigations in the field of gender identity disorder (GID) have been mostly related to psychiatric comorbidity and severe psychiatric disorders, but have focused less on personality and personality disorders (PDs). AIMS The aim of the study was to assess the presence of PDs in persons with GID as compared to cisgendered (a cisgender person is a person who is content to remain th...

BACKGROUND Gender identity disorder (GID) is a distressing disorder characterized by a persistent unhappiness with one's own sex and a desire to be of the opposite sex as well as seeking sex reassignment surgery for the same. The aim of the study was to assess the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) profiles in patients with GID and examine differences in the profiles based o...

Brewster angle microscopy ~BAM!, x-ray specular reflectivity and grazing-incidence x-ray diffraction ~GID! studies of C60-propylamine adduct monolayers at the gas/water interface as a function of molecular area are reported. At large molecular areas (A.;150 Å/molecule), BAM images reveal macroscopic heterogeneity in the film, consisting of the coexistence between regions covered with uniform so...

Graft-induced dyskinesia (GID) is a serious complication induced by dopamine (DA) cell transplantation in parkinsonian patients. We have recently shown that DA D2 receptor blockade produces striking blockade of dyskinesia induced by amphetamine in grafted 6-OHDA-lesioned rats, a model of GID. This study was designed to investigate whether blockade of DA D1 receptors could produce similar outcom...

Male to female gender identity disorder (MTF/GID) is a rare condition. Such patients tend complain that their speaking fundamental frequency (SFF) does not fit because it too low. Type 4 thyroplasty (TP4) conversely increases the pitch of SFF as tension vocal fold tightened causing become high-pitched. While life-threatening for with MTF/GID, can cause substantial worry and stress. TP4 therefor...
