Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how various baseline mental disorders may predict the development of Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) in university students over one to three years, focusing on a group of 2,144 first-year students from six Mexican universities.
- - Findings show that having any mental disorder at baseline increases the likelihood of developing IGD by 2.33 times, although some individual disorders had diminishing effects when comorbidities were present.
- - Ultimately, only major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder were significantly linked to new cases of IGD, highlighting the need for further research to clarify the relationships observed in previous studies.
The Genera of Fungi series, of which this is the sixth contribution, links type species of fungal genera to their morphology and DNA sequence data. Five genera of microfungi are treated in this study, with new species introduced in , , and . The genus is emended and two new species and nine combinations are proposed.

There is not a consensus yet about the origins of this disorder, but it can be examined in the correlations between the biological signs of aging and the tremor characteristics.
Methods: This work sought correlations between the osmotic fragility of erythrocytes and features extracted from electromyographic (EMG) activity resulting from physiological tremor in healthy patients (N = 44) at different ages (24-87 years).
Tremor is the most common movement disorder and differs from other disorders by its repetitive, stereotyped movements, with regular frequency and amplitude. The three most frequent pathological forms of it are the essential tremor (ET), the Parkinson's disease (PD) tremor, and the enhanced physiological tremor. The ET and PD tremor affect the older population mostly.
