TL;DR: The results of meta-analysis provide evidence for a relationship between cannabis use and earlier onset of psychotic illness, and they support the hypothesis that cannabis use plays a causal role in the development of psychosis in some patients.

TL;DR: The immediate postdischarge period is a time of marked risk, but rates of suicide remain high for many years after discharge, and patients admitted because of suicidal ideas or behaviors and those in the first months after discharge should be a particular focus of concern.

TL;DR: A substantial proportion of patients in first-episode psychosis commit an act of violence before presenting for treatment, including a number who commit an acts of more serious violence causing injury to another person, but severe violence resulting in serious or permanent injury to the victim is uncommon in this population.

TL;DR: The emerging optical properties of the degraded solvent present challenges for spectroscopy of nanomaterial dispersions; most notably the possibility of observing solvent photoluminescence in the spectra of 2D materials such as MoS2, highlighting the need for stable solvents and exfoliation processes to minimise the influence of solvent degradation on the properties of liquid-exfoliated 2D material.

TL;DR: It is suggested that almost 1 in 5 patients admitted to acute psychiatric units may commit an act of violence, similar to factors that are associated with violence among individual patients.
