General practice database on mortality in adults on methylphenidate: cohort study by Bruno Stricker, Katia Verhamme, Kiki Cheung

“…However, the risk of suicide attempts remained significantly increased after full adjustment (HR 2.0; 95% CI 1.1 to 3.6), and was highest in women and in participants within the age-group of 18–40 years. The unadjusted risk of overall mortality was strongly increased, but this lowered to a significant 30% risk increase (HR 1.3; 95% CI 1.1 to 1.6) after full adjustment.Conclusion There is an increased risk of suicide attempts in adults up to 40 years of age after starting methylphenidate and this risk should be carefully considered before prescribing to this group.…”

PCR-based detection of Botryosphaeria canker pathogens in fig trees by Mahdiyeh Ghaedi, Zeinab Bolboli, Hamed Negahban, Reza Mostowfizadeh-Ghalamfarsa

“…Detecting and identifying these pathogens is challenging due to their latent infections and the presence of multiple pathogens within the same host. In our study, we developed a PCR assay using three carefully selected primer pairs based on sequence differences in two protein-coding genes, β-tubulin and RNA polymerase II. …”
