Longitudinal trajectories of childhood and adolescent attention deficit hyperactivity disorder diagnoses in three cohorts - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37333663/
Intramural programs of the NHGRI and NIMH.
Interpretation: We provide further evidence in three cohorts for the existence of a fluctuant ADHD diagnostic subgroup during childhood and adolescence, albeit in a minority of cases. Such fluctuant child and adolescent ADHD diagnoses may suggest a natural history more akin to relapsing-remitting mood disorders and/or a marked sensitivity to...
Variation in sleep profiles in children with ADHD and associated clinical characteristics - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37272196/
The sleep difficulties experienced by children with ADHD are varied. Supports to help children with ADHD need to consider the particular profiles of sleep difficulties experienced and broader clinical characteristics....
Conclusions: The sleep difficulties experienced by children with ADHD are varied. Supports to help children with ADHD need to consider the particular profiles of sleep difficulties experienced and broader clinical characteristics. Tailored intervention approaches are likely needed (including a need to address parent mental health).
Investigating causal relationships between genetically determined increased risk of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and atopic dermatitis (AD): A Mendelian randomization analysis - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37317926/
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition with a huge disease burden. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is often diagnosed in children, and is associated with symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity...
Conclusion: Current MR analysis does not demonstrate any causal relationship between genetically increased risk of AD and ADHD in either direction in individuals of European descent. The observed associations between AD and ADHD in previous observational studies are possibly due to confounding lifestyle factors, including psychosocial stress...
Salience and hedonic experience as predictors of central stimulant treatment response in ADHD - A resting state fMRI study - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37269772/
Incentive salience and hedonic experience evaluated after a single-dose CS medication segregate CS responders and non-responders, with corresponding neuroimaging biomarkers in the brain reward system.

Relationships between physical activity and executive function in children with ADHD: does sleep matter? (PhD Academy Award)

I investigated whether physical activity (PA) benefits executive functions (EFs) and psychological health in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by aberrant levels of...
