A retrospective cohort study was conducted to evaluate the Department of Defense practice of allowing some individuals with a history of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to enter military service (waiving for ADHD). Enlisted recruits who entered active duty with a waiver for academic problems related to ADHD were compared with control subjects who did not reveal health problems before entry, in terms of retention, promotion, and mental health-related outcomes. A total of 539 recruits with a history of ADHD were retained at the same rate as 1,617 control subjects, with no differences in promotion rates, comorbid diagnoses, or mental health-related discharges. On the basis of these findings, the Department of Defense medical accession standards have been changed to allow applicants who reveal a history of ADHD but did not require medication to finish high school or to hold a job for at least 1 year the opportunity to enter active duty without going through the current waiver process.

Background: Herbicide cross-resistance is of increasing concern because it compromises the effectiveness of both existing and new chemical options. However, a common misconception is that if a weed population shows dose-response shifts to two herbicides, it is cross-resistant to both. The possibility that individual plants may possess different resistance mechanisms is often overlooked.

Background: Oils from various sources are vital nutritional components with a variety of roles in our body. Niger seed (Guzoita abyssinica) is endemic to Ethiopia and is among the major oil seed crops grown in the country. The fatty acid composition and the concentration of other bioactive phytochemicals in it vary with species type, geographical origin, cultivation season, and varietal types.

Background: Ticks are prominent vectors of numerous pathogens that adversely affect human and animal health. Monitoring tick population dynamics is key in developing ideal tick-borne disease surveillance systems and critical vector control programmes. This study aimed to conduct the morphological and molecular characterization of ticks infesting domesticated goats in Kerala, India.

Article Synopsis
- Castor bean, known scientifically as Ricinus communis, is grown for its oil and ornamental purposes, particularly for its attractive foliage, and has naturalized in places like Sinaloa, Mexico.
- A 2019 survey found that wild castor bean in Sinaloa was significantly impacted by a foliar blight resembling that caused by the fungus Alternaria ricini, with disease incidence varying between 20% to 60% across different sites.
- Samples collected revealed that long-beaked Alternaria was present in 60% to 70% of the leaf fragments tested, with distinct morphological characteristics aligning with descriptions of A. ricini, indicating a potential link between the disease observed in Sinaloa and previously noted occurrences in the
