Serum Ferritin and Zinc Levels in Children with ADHD: A Case-Control Study from Iraq

This case-control study compared serum ferritin and zinc levels in 66 newly diagnosed, treatment-naive children with ADHD versus 110 healthy controls from Iraq, finding significantly lower levels of both micronutrients in the ADHD group and strong correlation with symptom severity. Low zinc and ferritin were associated with specific ADHD presentations, suggesting potential role of these micronutrients in ADHD pathophysiology, though the study does not establish causation or treatment implications.

Positive Parenting Associated With Higher Resilience in Children With ADHD

This study examined 181 children with ADHD (ages 7-18) and found that higher positive parenting behaviors and peer acceptance were independently associated with greater self-reported resilience. Older age and borderline intellectual functioning were protective factors inversely related to resilience in this population.

Domain-Specific Cognitive Vulnerabilities in ADHD: Impact of Comorbid Specific Learning Disorder on WISC-IV Profiles

This retrospective study examined cognitive profiles in 105 children (ages 6-16) with ADHD using WISC-IV testing, comparing those with and without comorbid Specific Learning Disorder. Children with ADHD and comorbid SLD showed significantly lower scores in Verbal Comprehension, Perceptual Reasoning, and Working Memory compared to those with ADHD alone, with Working Memory being consistently the lowest cognitive domain across groups.

Symptomatic hyperprolactinemia mimicking pituitary pathology in a child with Landau-Kleffner syndrome and autism spectrum disorder: case report

A 12-year-old girl with autism spectrum disorder, Landau-Kleffner syndrome, and intellectual disability developed galactorrhea, vision problems, and falls while taking risperidone, with laboratory findings showing elevated prolactin (40.2 ng/mL) but normal imaging excluding pituitary tumor. Switching from risperidone to olanzapine resulted in complete symptom resolution and prolactin normalization (2.2 ng/mL) within three months, highlighting the importance of monitoring prolactin levels in children on antipsychotic medication.

Scientists discover ancient brain cells that help block distractions

Researchers identified neurons in an ancient brain region that function as a focus filter, enabling selective attention to relevant stimuli. Temporarily disabling these neurons in mice produced ADHD-like distractibility symptoms, which normalized upon reactivation, suggesting a biological mechanism underlying attention regulation.
