Hey link,
Actually, it seems the changes appeared rather quickly. The following statements were in the first article:
“Also noteworthy was the rapid development of pathological changes (i.e., within 3 weeks). “
“The rapid appearance of lamellar structures, coupled with the potential for irreversibility and the profound structural changes seen in a patient on long-term MPH therapy, suggests that these findings may have clinical consequences for drug interactions and long-term side effects of MPH of which clinicians should be aware. “
