This study adapted the Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnostic Scale-Revised (RAADS-R) into Brazilian Portuguese following international guidelines, with validation in 142 autistic adults. The adapted scale demonstrated adequate semantic equivalence and a 14-item screening model showed acceptable fit indices, though psychometric refinements may be needed for clinical use.

Laboratory studies demonstrated the chemical damages dopamine neurons and impairs the brain's ability to clear toxic protein aggregates.
The CDC developed a tiered case definition for self-reported traumatic brain injury (TBI) to improve national surveillance, addressing limitations of hospital-based data that undercount TBIs occurring in outpatient and untreated settings. This surveillance system aims to better estimate the public health burden of concussion and TBI across all causes of brain injury in the United States.
