Efficacy and Safety of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Attention‐Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis by Binbin Fu, Xiangyue Zhou, Xuan Zhou, Xin Li, Zhengquan Chen, Yanbin Zhang, Qing Du

“…According to the core symptoms, TMS significantly improved inattention (SMD = −0.94, 95% CI = −1.33 to −0.56, p < 0.001) and hyperactivity/impulsivity (SMD = −0.98, 95% CI = −1.27 to −0.69, p < 0.001) compared to non‐TMS interventions after 3–6 weeks of intervention. During the 1‐month follow‐up, the TMS group still demonstrated a significant improvement in inattention symptoms compared to the non‐TMS group (SMD = −0.67, 95% CI = −1.06 to 0.28, p < 0.001). …”

Interactive effects of triploidy induction and culture densities on growth performance and stress, immune, and metabolic responses in juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) by Roghayeh Mahmoudi, Mahdi Naderi, Hakimeh Dopeikar, Seyed Ali Khorasaninasab, Seyed Hadi Seyedalhosseini

“…The experiment was designed with two ploidy conditions (diploid and triploid) each with 20 (40 fish/tank), 30 (59 fish/tank), 40 (79 fish/tank), and 50 (99 fish/tank) kg/m3 culture densities, a 2 × 4 factorial design. After 9 weeks, final weight, weight gain, specific growth rate, and protein efficiency ratio (PER) in fish cultured at 20, 30, and 40 kg/m3 were significantly higher and feed conversion ratio (FCR) was lower compared to those cultured at 50 kg/m3 (P < 0.05). …”
