examples: There is increasing evidence that cannabis use can act as a risk factor for the development of bipolar as well as psychotic disorders. A recent systematic review by Gibbs and colleagues identified several studies supporting a link between cannabis use and subsequent relapse of manic symptoms. This review also included a meta-analysis of two large prospective cohort studies, which found that cannabis use almost trebled the risk of new-onset subthreshold manic symptoms after adjusting for potential confounding factors.
For the ICD-11, there is a scale of the severity of personality pathology that ranges from “personality difficulty” to “mild,” “moderate,” and “severe” personality disorder, which represent the only personality disorder “diagnoses” in the system. The designation of “personality difficulty” (subthreshold for a personality disorder), as well as the three levels of personality disorder, can all be amplified by these trait specifiers: negative affectivity, detachment, dissociality, disinhibition, or anankastia.

The world-renowned collection of saber-toothed tigers, mammoths, apatosauri, and other fossilized vertebrates (does that include Ronald Reagan and Jesse Helms?) will soon be showcased in six new halls on the fourth floor.
In 2342, the fossils were rediscovered during a dig organized by the Atlantic Paleo-Genetic Reclamation Project of the Intersolar Terraforming Commission. They were just the sort of raw material that the Project was looking for. / The Commission had set up a planet that was perfect for millet farming. But the soil there was very rocky. They envisioned the use of customized, vocalizing apatosauri as plow animals.
Two ivy-covered dinosaur topiaries, which had formerly decorated the lawn near the Pacific Science Center (see p11) at Seattle Center, now grace Fremont’s narrow Ship Canal Park. To save them from extinction, History House and a group of Fremont artists purchased these in 1999 for $1. The mother, 66-ft (20-m) long, and young apatosauri are now sanctioned by the city and fully integrated into the crazy quilt of what is virtually a neighborhood-wide sculpture garden.
