doi: 10.1177/13591045221110732. Online ahead of print. 1 Department of Family medicine, 36631Clalit health services, Jerusalem, Israel. 2 Research Authority, Kaplan Medical Center, Rehovot, Israel. 3 36631Clalit health services, Jerusalem, Israel....
Conclusions: Identifying longitudinal prescription-filling patterns substantiates and qualifies the variation in long-term efficacy of pharmacological treatment for ADHD in a treatment-as-usual community setting. Prescription-filling implies that symptoms are present, and that treatment is efficacious, as perceived by parents' and carers....
Discrete Wavelet Transform Analysis of the Electroretinogram in Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Source : https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnins.2022.890461/full
BackgroundTo evaluate the electroretinogram waveform in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) using a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) approach.MethodsA total of 55 ASD, 15 ADHD and...
"Conclusion: "This methodological approach may provide insights about neuronal activity in studies investigating group differences where retinal signaling may be altered through neurodevelopment or neurodegenerative conditions. However, further work will be required to determine if retinal signal analysis can offer a classification model for...
Obesity in Adolescents: Understanding the Combined Role of Food Security and Emotional and Behavioral Disorders - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35739006/
This study finds a significant interaction between food security level and emotional and behavioral disorders. The distinction that very low food security in adolescents is only associated with obesity when...
Discussion: This study finds a significant interaction between food security level and emotional and behavioral disorders. The distinction that very low food security in adolescents is only associated with obesity when either anxiety, depression or ADHD are present, but not independently, is an important contribution to understanding complex...
General practitioner-centred paediatric primary care reduces risk of hospitalisation for mental disorders in children and adolescents with ADHD: findings from a retrospective cohort study - PubMed

Conclusion: Children and adolescents with ADHD enrolled in GP-centred-paediatric-primary-care are at lower risk of mental-disorder-related hospitalisation and less likely to receive stimulants.
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation of the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex for Treatment of Neuropsychiatric Disorders
Source : https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnbeh.2022.893955/full
BackgroundThe dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is a key node of the frontal cognitive circuit. It is involved in executive control and many cognitive processes. Abnormal activities of DLPFC are likely...
Conclusion: The stimulation parameters used in these studies were different from each other. The lasting effect of stimulation was also not consistent. Nevertheless, DLPFC is a promising target for non-invasive stimulation in many psychiatric disorders. TDCS is a safe and affordable neuromodulation approach that has potential clinical uses....
