This study evaluated ADHD-related knowledge among graduate students in Early Childhood and Primary Education, examining their understanding of the disorder's chronic nature, lifespan manifestations, and need for early multidisciplinary intervention. The findings highlight critical gaps in ADHD training for future educators and recommend expanded specialist education in teacher preparation programs.
This study examined serum bisphenol A (BPA) levels in 45 adults with ADHD versus 45 healthy controls, using standardized cognitive tests and disability assessments. Results showed higher BPA in ADHD patients and an association with work-related dysfunction, though no direct correlation with cognitive test performance was found.
This study examined how monoamine reuptake inhibitors affect long-term potentiation and neurotransmitter release in the prefrontal cortex of SHRSP/Ezo rats, an ADHD animal model. Results indicate that dopamine and noradrenaline system dysfunction in the frontal lobe contributes to ADHD pathology, with methylphenidate and desipramine showing potential to improve impaired synaptic plasticity.
This population-based study compared healthcare service utilization in 8,127 children/young people with ADHD and 40,136 matched controls using English primary care records (1998-2015), finding that those later diagnosed with ADHD attended healthcare services twice as frequently in the 2 years before diagnosis. ADHD cases showed strongest associations with mental/behavioral disorder visits (25-fold higher) but also elevated attendance for common conditions like ENT issues, asthma, and eczema.
This study surveyed 147 occupational therapy practitioners and 35 elementary school educators to identify common barriers and training preferences for supporting students with ADHD. Both groups shared similar challenges but differed on knowledge gaps and preference for video-based training resources, with recommendations for collaborative development of ADHD training materials.
This study examined how parent knowledge of ADHD and their interpretations of child behavior influence interest in various support services following ADHD evaluation. Results showed that greater ADHD knowledge, beliefs that symptoms persist over time, and lower perceived child behavioral control predicted stronger interest in different types of help-seeking, suggesting tailored education may improve service utilization.
This cross-sectional study of 4,616 Israeli adolescents found that those with ADHD diagnoses had significantly higher prevalence of disordered eating compared to non-ADHD peers (50.2% vs. 43.9%), with the association remaining significant after controlling for confounders. The relationship between ADHD and disordered eating persisted regardless of stimulant medication status, highlighting the need for early identification of eating concerns in adolescents with ADHD.
This cross-sectional study compared driving simulator performance, executive functions, and adaptive behavior in 30 adolescents with complex ADHD (ADHD with emotional/learning difficulties) and 33 without ADHD, finding that those without ADHD demonstrated significantly better driving performance. Executive functions were found to partially correlate with driving simulator scores in the complex ADHD group, suggesting the need for targeted intervention programs.
A prospective study examining the Parent Symptom Questionnaire (PSQ) for ADHD screening in 202 Chinese children aged 3-14 using machine learning algorithms. Machine learning models achieved >90% accuracy in identifying ADHD-predictive items, with some differences from standard PSQ hyperactivity indices.
This longitudinal study tracked 263 Chinese children aged 6-13 with ODD and/or ADHD over one year using network analysis to examine how symptoms of these conditions relate over time. The research found stable symptom networks across both time points, with specific symptoms like difficulty concentrating and impulsivity showing high centrality in predicting comorbidity patterns.
This study analyzed funding for ADHD across 72 South African medical schemes and found that ADHD is not recognized as a prescribed minimum benefit, resulting in inconsistent and inadequate coverage. The research highlights the need for standardized funding models or formal classification of ADHD as a priority health condition to improve patient access to treatment.
This review examines ADHD in adult males, detailing diagnostic procedures including symptom evaluation, developmental history assessment, and ruling out other psychiatric conditions. The article discusses neurobiological causes, gender differences in symptom presentation, and evidence-based treatment approaches including medication, education, skill training, and psychological counseling.
This study compared diagnostic age and delay across ADHD-only, autism-only, and co-occurring ADHD+autism in 677 Australian children, finding that children with autism received diagnosis earlier than those with co-occurring conditions. The research highlights differences in diagnostic timing between genders and conditions, contributing to understanding of why some children experience prolonged diagnostic delays.
This is a corrigendum to a peer-reviewed study examining the validity of the Child Occupational Self-Assessment tool in children with ADHD. The correction addresses the original article's DOI reference.
This study examined hopelessness symptoms and resilience in 448 parents of children with autism using validated psychological scales and network analysis, finding that specific hopelessness symptoms like pessimism about the future operate as central nodes differently for mothers versus fathers. Results suggest that expectancy of success is directly associated with resilience across all parent groups, with potential implications for targeted mental health interventions.
This study compared irritability symptoms in 21 children with high-functioning autism, 21 with disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD), and 14 healthy controls using standardized behavioral assessment scales. Results showed that autism and DMDD share similar irritability profiles but differ in aggression patterns, with implications for differential diagnosis and clinical management of mood dysregulation in autistic children.
This comparative study examined sleep disturbances in 122 children (ages 7-12) across three groups: typically developing, ASD, and ADHD, finding that both clinical groups experienced significantly more sleep disorders than controls, with ADHD showing greater sleep breathing problems. Sleep difficulties partially mediated the relationship between symptom severity and communication skills in both ASD and ADHD groups, suggesting sleep assessment is important when evaluating communication in these conditions.
