Potentially Inappropriate Medications in a Psychogeriatric Inpatient Ward: An Audit Based on Beers Criteria.

Introduction: Older adults are often prescribed a high number of medications. Overcoming inaction in health care is difficult but essential to deprescribing potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs). Curbing the use of PIMs is urgent in older adults suffering from psychiatric illness, as cognitive, emotional and psychosocial adversity makes them an especially vulnerable group.

Surgical Outcomes of Lobular Neoplasia Diagnosed in Core Biopsy: Prospective Study of 316 Cases.

Background: Management recommendations for lobular neoplasia (LN) including lobular carcinoma-in-situ (LCIS) and atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH) diagnosed in core biopsies (CB) are controversial. Our aim was to prospectively identify a subset of patients who do not require subsequent surgical excision (SE).

Patients And Methods: All patients diagnosed with LN on CB were enrolled and referred for SE.

Molecular diagnostics for the sigatoka disease complex of banana.

ABSTRACT The Sigatoka disease complex of banana involves three related ascomycetous fungi, Mycosphaerella fijiensis, M. musicola, and M. eumusae.

Multiple gene genealogies and phenotypic characters differentiate several novel species of Mycosphaerella and related anamorphs on banana.

Three species of Mycosphaerella, namely M. eumusae, M. fijiensis, and M.

Isolation and characterization of the mating type locus of Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the causal agent of black leaf streak disease of banana.

SUMMARY Idiomorphs mat1-1 and mat1-2 from Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the causal agent of black leaf streak disease of banana, were isolated. Degenerate oligos were used to amplify the HMG box of the mat1-2 idiomorph from M. fijiensis, showing homology with the HMG box of Mycosphaerella graminicola.
