Background: Although autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are generally considered lifelong disabilities, literature suggests that a minority of individuals with an ASD will lose the diagnosis. However, existence this phenomenon, as well its frequency and interpretation, is still controversial: were they misdiagnosed initially, rare event, did full diagnosis, but suffer significant social communication impairments or all symptoms function socially within normal range? Methods: The present study...
Prosocial behaviors are a diverse group of actions that integral to human social life. In this study, we examined the ability 18‐ and 24‐month‐old infants engage in three types other‐oriented behaviors, specifically helping, sharing, comforting. Infants both age groups engaged more prosocial behavior on trials which an unfamiliar adult experimenter required aid (experimental conditions) than those she did not (control across two tasks (i.e., helping sharing). The these with similar...
A method is described for the production of chronic atrioventricular block in dogs, by incision region bundle His through open right atrium during temporary caval occlusion. Exercise tolerances, chest x-ray films, electrocardiograms, phonocardiograms, cardiac outputs, intracardiac pressures, femoral and left ventricular coronary flows were obtained preoperatively from 1 to 10 months postoperatively. The majority animals developed clinical, laboratory, pathological evidence congestive heart...
Two language acquisition processes (comprehension preceding production of word order, the noun bias) were examined in 2- and 3-year-old children (n=10) with autistic spectrum disorder typically developing 21-month-olds (n=13). Intermodal preferential looking was used to assess comprehension subject-verb-object order tendency map novel words onto objects rather than actions. Spontaneous speech samples also collected. Results demonstrated significant both groups well before production....

Importance Neurodevelopmental conditions, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity (ADHD), and obsessive-compulsive (OCD), have highly heterogeneous overlapping phenotypes neurobiology. Data-driven approaches are beginning to identify homogeneous transdiagnostic subgroups of children; however, findings yet be replicated in independently collected data sets, a necessity for translation into clinical settings. Objective To children with without neurodevelopmental...
Recent published studies indicate a possible role for sFlt1 in the development of preeclampsia.
Although Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is generally a lifelong disability, minority of individuals with ASD overcome their symptoms to such degree that they are indistinguishable from typically-developing peers. That is, have achieved an Optimal Outcome (OO). The question addressed by the current study whether this normalized behavior reflects brain functioning, or alternatively, action compensatory systems. Either possibility plausible, as most participants OO received years intensive...
Objective Early identification of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is an essential healthcare priority. Girls may be at risk for late diagnosis, although research equivocal regarding how sex and other factors relate to ASD identification. The goals the current investigation were (1) identify child sex, cognitive abilities, demographic age first concern (AOC) diagnosis (AOD), (2) evaluate trends in AOC/AOD over time, (3) consider whether main effects on are moderated by abilities or time.Method...
Atypical reactions to the sensory environment are often reported in autistic individuals, with a high degree of variability across modalities. These differences have been shown promote challenging behaviours and distress individuals predictive other functions including motor, social, cognitive abilities. Preliminary research suggests that specific may cluster together within creating discrete phenotypes. However, manner which these cluster, whether resulting phenotypes associated social...
Background: Differences in sensory processing are a defining characteristic of autism, affecting up to 87% autistic individuals. These differences cause widespread perceptual changes that can negatively impact cognition, development, and daily functioning. Recent research identified five phenotypes with varied behavioural presentations; however, their neural basis remains unclear. This study aims ground these unique patterns functional connectivity. Methods: We analyzed data from 146...
Psychotropic medications are commonly used for neurodivergent children, but their effectiveness varies, making prescribing challenging and potentially exposing individuals to multiple medication trials. We developed artificial intelligence (AI) models predict success stimulants, anti-depressants, anti-psychotics. first demonstrate feasibility using cross-sectional data from three research cohorts, then use a cohort of patients pharmacology clinic choice by class, longitudinally, electronic...
