No full text1. Chenopodium ambrosioides L., Sp. Pl. 219. 1753 Annual or perennial, taprooted herb. Stem 0.3-l.0(-1.5) m tall, strongly scented of mustard, ribbed, often somewhat woody, much-branched. Petiole 1-2 cm long; blade lanceolate, oblanceolate, oblong-elliptic, rhombic-elliptic or ovate, 0.6-12.5 x 1-5.5 cm, entire to shallowly dentate OI' sinuately pinnatifid, apex acute to obtuse, sometimes apiculate, base cuneate, sessile glandular resin dots, especially on lower surface, glabrous or sparsely puberulent above, or puberulent beneath especially on veins, yellowish-green. Inflorescence a single cyme Of spikes of cymes; flowers in glomerules of 4-6, along major axes, in groups of 1-3 on apical, minor axes; glomerules 1-bracteate, bract linear to (sub)foliaceous, to ca. 2.5 cm long; flowers sessile or subsessile. Tepals (3-)5, greenish, narrowly ovate, 0.7-1.3 mm long, glabrous OI' puberulent and usually gland-dotted, fused ca. half-way, cucullate and folded over fruit; stamens (3-)5; filaments about as long EIS tepals, anthers orbicular, 0.5 mm long; stigmas sessile or subsessile, spreading. Pericarp not adherent to seed, thin and decaying; seeds lenticularcochleate to ovoid, 0.6-0.8 mm in diam., horizontally or vertically oriented, smooth, lustrous, reddish-brown. Distribution: Possibly native to Mexico and Central America, now a cosmopolitan weed in Warm regions; 21 collections examined, all from the Guianas (GU: 6; SU: 1; FG: 14). Selected specimens: Guyana: South Rupununi Savanna, Aishalton airstrip, Henkel 3467 (US); Rupununi Savanna, Cook 250 (NY, U); Ireng R. near Orinduik Falls, Essequibo County, Irwin et al. 474 (US). Suriname: Cultis, Focke 1395 (U). French Guiana: Cayenne, Jardin pnma, Kodjoed 91 (CAY); Commune de Remire, Ile de Cayenne, Wittingthon 59 (CAY). Uses: Generally found as a Weed, sometimes cultivated as a medicinal plant for the leaves, which are used as an anthelmintic (vermifuge) in the Guianas (Cook 250; Ostendorf (1962); and Moretti 913). The French Guianans use an infusion of six leaves mixed with salt in a cup, which is reportedly very beneficial for the liver, and as a children's vermifuge (Oldeman B.3909). According to Henkel 3467, the plant is used as a malaria treatment by Wapishiana Amerindians of Guyana. Vernacular names: Guyana: matouosh; mastruz (Portuguese Guyanese); metroshi (Macushi Amerindian). Suriname: tingi-menti; woron-menti (Creole).

Bulimia nervosa with and without obsessive-compulsive syndromes
No full textThe present study was performed in a group of bulimic (BN) females (1) to assess prevalence rates of comorbid obsessive-compulsive phenomena; (2) to investigate whether BN patients display a characteristic cluster of obsessive-compulsive symptoms; and (3) to determine whether obsessive-compulsive symptoms influence the clinical picture of BN. Thirty-eight DSM-IV BN females were interviewed by means of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R (SCID) to assess the prevalence rate of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD); the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Symptom Scale (Y-BOCS) Symptom Check-List was also used to evaluate the presence of obsessive-compulsive symptoms. The phenomenology of BN females with obsessive-compulsive syndromes (OCS) as detected by the Y-BOCS was compared to that shown by a 'control' group of nonbulimic OCD females. Finally, the eating-related psychopathology of BN women with and without OCS was compared. The current prevalence rates of OCD and of subthreshold obsessive-compulsive syndrome (sOCS) in our sample were 10.5% and 15.8%, respectively. Thus, a total of 26.3% of BN females had a current OCS that comprised both clinical disorders and subthreshold syndromes. No differences were detected between obsessive-compulsive symptoms of these females and those of the control group of nonbulimic OCD females. BN females with OCS had higher ratings on the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI) total score and on the 'drive for thinness' and the 'bulimia' items of the scale, as compared to BN females without OCS. In conclusion, it appears that a considerable proportion of BN females display OCS, which sometimes are not severe enough to fulfill diagnostic criteria for OCD. Moreover, in these patients, obsessive-compulsive symptoms are undistinguishable from those of OCD females, and exert a negative influence on the clinical picture of the bulimic disorder
