Atypical antipsychotic agents, which block postsynaptic dopamine and serotonin receptors, have advantages over traditional medications in the treatment of adults with schizophrenia may be beneficial children autistic disorder who serious behavioral disturbances. However, data on safety efficacy atypical agents are limited.
OBJECTIVE: Risperidone has been found efficacious for decreasing severe tantrums, aggression, and self-injurious behavior in children adolescents with autistic disorder (autism). The authors report on whether risperidone improves the core symptoms of autism, social communication impairment repetitive stereotyped behavior. METHOD: database from an 8-week double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (N=101) 16-week open-label continuation study (N=63) autism was used to test drug effects secondary...
OBJECTIVE: Patterns of psychiatric comorbidity were assessed in adults with and without attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) identified through a genetic study families containing multiple children ADHD. METHOD: Lifetime ADHD comorbid psychopathology 435 parents Rates mean ages at onset compared lifetime ADHD, persistent those Age-adjusted rates Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Logistic regression was used to assess additional risk factors for conditions more frequent subjects....
Objective: Short-term, controlled studies of extended-release guanfacine (GXR), a selective α2A-adrenoreceptor agonist, demonstrate efficacy in treating attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms as monotherapy. This 2-year open-label study was conducted to further assess the long-term safety and GXR. Methods: Study participants, aged 6–17 years with ADHD, had previously been exposed GXR therapy alone or combination psychostimulants one two antecedent trials. In this study,...
Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the clinical presentation preschoolers diagnosed with moderate severe attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) recruited for multisite Preschool ADHD Treatment Study (PATS). diagnosis and evaluation process will also be described. Method: A comprehensive multidimensional, multi-informant assessment protocol implemented including semistructured PATS Diagnostic Interview. Parent- teacher-report measures were used supplement information...
In the current study we sought to dissociate component processes of working memory (WM) (vigilance, encoding and maintenance) that may be differentially impaired in attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We collected electroencephalographic (EEG) data from 52 children with ADHD 47 typically developing (TD) children, ages 7-14 years, while they performed a spatial Sternberg task. used independent analysis time-frequency identify midoccipital alpha (8-12 Hz) evaluate frontal midline...
OBJECTIVE Although attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is highly heritable, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have not yet identified any common genetic variants that contribute to risk. There evidence aggression or conduct in children with ADHD indexes higher loading and clinical severity. The authors examine whether considered en masse as polygenic scores for are especially enriched comorbid disorder. METHOD Polygenic derived from an GWAS meta-analysis were calculated...
