TL;DR: The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition, text revision (DSM-IV-TR) (American Psychiatric Association], 2000) is a compendium of mental disorders, a listing of the criteria used to diagnose them, and a detailed system for their definition, organization, and classification.

TL;DR: In this study, mating preference was achieved by dividing a population of Drosophila melanogaster and rearing one part on a molasses medium and the other on a starch medium and it was confirmed that symbiotic bacteria can influence mating preference by changing the levels of cuticular hydrocarbon sex pheromones.

TL;DR: Results suggest that both the subjective subscale and total score on the BAI can be somewhat useful as a quick screening instrument in detecting presence of a current anxiety disorder for older adult psychiatric outpatients, although results were not as strong as previous findings regarding screening tests for depression in the elderly.

TL;DR: The Diagnostic Interview Schedule for DSM-IV (DIS-IV; Robins, Cottler, Bucholz, Compton, North, & Rourke, 2000) is a structured interview designed to diagnose in a reliable and valid fashion the major psychiatric disorders according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition (DSM-IV) (American Psychiatric Association, 2000).

TL;DR: Suggestions for future research on the SCID are offered, particularly with respect to the lack of studies in which SCID diagnoses are compared with diagnoses from unstructured interviews or other structured-interview formats, and the need for a more natural evaluation of this instrument.
