White matter microstructure in children and adolescents with ADHD - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35149304/
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder. Advances in diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acquisition sequences and analytic techniques have led to growing body of evidence that...
Conclusion/Relevance: This systematic review provides a qualitative assessment of research investigating microstructural organisation of white matter amongst children and adolescents with ADHD. This review included 46 studies in total, encompassing multiple diffusion MRI imaging techniques and analytic approaches, including whole-brain, region...
Visual-motor attention in children with ADHD: The role of automatic and controlled processes
Source : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0891422222000233?via=ihub
Automatic deficit in visual-motor attention of children with ADHD is proposed. * The influence of cognitive load is examined. * Children with ADHD exhibit a deficit both in automatic and...
Conclusions and implications: The findings were discussed in light of the relationship between automatic and controlled processes involved in the visual-motor attention.
Assessment of Copper and Zinc Levels in Hair and Urine of Children With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Case-Control Study in Eastern India - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35106229/
Background Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neuro-developmental ailment diagnosed with inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity. It is one of the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders and has complex aetiology, both genetic...
Conclusion: "Low zinc levels in the urine and hair of children and higher levels of copper may impact the aetiology of ADHD in these children. At an early stage, the Cu/Zn ratio in both hair and urine samples may be used as a precise biomarker to identify and monitor such children.
Quantitative susceptibility mapping shows lower brain iron content in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35107194/
To investigate the feasibility of quantitative susceptibility mapping in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), 53 children with ADHD aged 5-16 years were prospectively selected as the study group and...
Conclusion: Quantitative susceptibility mapping showed decreased iron content in some brain regions of children with ADHD.
Increased hair cortisol in mothers of children with ADHD symptoms and psychosocial adversity background - Journal of Neural Transmission
Source : https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00702-022-02463-y
Parents of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have shown high perceived parenting stress. Hence, physiological adjustment processes, involving the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, seem possible. We hypothesized that (1) ADHD...
Conclusion/Relevance: In presence of psychosocial family adversity, ADHD symptoms of the child predicted an increase in the mother's HCC. As a continuously high cortisol level implicates health risks and might in turn affect parenting resources, the identifying of caregivers at risk through biological markers of stress could be helpful for...
