The aromatic compound p-cresol (4-methylphenol) has been found elevated in the urines of Italian autistic children up to 8 years age. present study aims at replicating these initial findings an ethnically distinct sample and extending them by measuring also three components urinary p-cresol, namely p-cresylsulfate, p-cresylglucuronate free p-cresol. Total p-cresylsulfate were significantly 33 French autism spectrum disorder (ASD) cases compared with sex- age-matched controls (p < 0.05). This...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental with no clinical biomarker. The aims of this study were to characterize metabolic signature ASD and evaluate multiplatform analytical methodologies in order develop predictive tools for diagnosis disease follow-up. Urine samples analyzed using (1)H (1)H-(13)C NMR-based approaches LC-HRMS-based (ESI+ ESI- on HILIC C18 chromatography columns). Data tables obtained from the six modalities training set 46 urine (22 autistic children 24...
This retrospective study aimed to specify the critical period for atypical brain development in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using prenatal and postnatal head growth parameters. The sample consisted of 80 Caucasian, unrelated, idiopathic patients ASD born after 1995. Fetal ultrasound parameters (head circumference [HC], abdominal circumference, femur length) were obtained during second third trimesters gestation. HC at birth 12 24 months age also collected. Head...
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is a complex and multifaceted neurobehavioral syndrome with no specific cause still identified, despite the worldwide increasing (prevalence for 1000 children from 6,7to 14.6, between 2000 to 2012). Many biological instrumental markers have been suggested as potential predictive factors precocious diagnosis during infancy and/or pediatric age. studies reported structural functional abnormalities in autonomic system subjects ASD. Sleep problems ASD are...
Background: Cranio-facial anomalies frequently occur in neurodevelopmental disorders because both face and brain are derived from neuroectoderm. The identification of differences the facial phenotype children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) may reflect alterations embryologic development ASD. Methods: we evaluated 33 caucasian ASD using a 2D computerized photogrammetry. Anthropometric euclidean measurements landmarks located on soft tissue head, were based five cranio-facial indexes....
The orofacial pain syndromes (OFPs) are a heterogeneous group of characterized by painful attacks involving the structures. They may be summarily subdivided into two great categories: (1) mainly attributed to dental disorders such as dentoalveolar and myofascial or temporomandibular joint (TM) pain; (2) non-dental neuralgias, facial localization primary headaches idiopathic pain. second is uncommon, often described single case reports, can show overlapping symptoms with first group,...
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) require neurological evaluation to detect sensory-motor impairment. This will improve understanding of brain function in children ASD, terms minor dysfunctions (MNDs). We compared 32 ASD without intellectual disability (IQ ≥ 70) healthy controls. A standardized and age-specific examination according Touwen was used the presence MNDs. Particular attention paid severity type had significantly higher rates MNDs controls (96.9% versus 15.6%): 81.3%...
West syndrome is an age-dependent epilepsy with onset peak in the first year of life whose aetiology may be symptomatic or cryptogenic. Long-term cognitive and neurological prognosis usually poor seizure outcome also variable. Over past two decades a few patients favourable total recovery from seizures were identified among cryptogenic group suggesting idiopathic aetiology. Recent research has described children WS who later developed childhood absence epilepsy. We reviewed medical records...
