The functional neuroanatomy of bipolar disorder: a consensus model. Bipolar Disord 2012: 14: 313–325. © 2012 Authors. Journal compilation John Wiley & Sons A/S. Objectives: Functional neuroimaging methods have proliferated in recent years, such that magnetic resonance imaging, particular, is now widely used to study disorder. However,...
On May 23 and 24, 2013, the First PANS Consensus Conference was convened at Stanford University, calling together a geographically diverse group of clinicians researchers from complementary fields pediatrics: General developmental pediatrics, infectious diseases, immunology, rheumatology, neurology, child psychiatry. Participants were academicians with clinical research interests in pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder associated streptococcus (PANDAS) youth, larger category...
Background:The neurobiological features of pediatric bipolar disorder (BD) are largely unknown.Children and adolescents with BD may be important to study functional neuroimaging techniques because their unique status early-onset high familial loading for the disorder.Neuroimaging studies adults have implicated dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) anterior cingulate (ACC) in development this disorder.Objectives: To children via magnetic resonance imaging using cognitive affective tasks...
Article AbstractObjectives: To determine the efficacy and safety of aripiprazole for treatment pediatric bipolar I disorder, manic or mixed episode, with without psychotic features. Method: Subjects were enrolled between March 2005 February 2007 in a randomized, multicenter, double-blind 4-week study 10 mg/d, 30 placebo. (n = 296) to 17 years old DSM-IV diagnosis disorder current episodes, features, Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) score ≥ 20. The primary variable was change from baseline...
Background: Abrupt, dramatic onset obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and/or eating restriction with at least two coinciding symptoms (anxiety, mood dysregulation, irritability/aggression/oppositionality, behavioral regression, cognitive deterioration, sensory or motor abnormalities, somatic symptoms) defines pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS). Descriptions of clinical data in such youth are limited. Methods: We reviewed charts 53 consecutive patients evaluated our PANS...
Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) is a clinically heterogeneous disorder with number of different etiologies and disease mechanisms. Inflammatory postinfectious autoimmune presentations PANS occur frequently, some clinical series documenting immune abnormalities in 75%-80% patients. Thus, comprehensive treatment protocols must include immunological interventions, but their use should be reserved only for cases which the symptoms represent underlying neuroinflammation or...
Objectives The aim of the present study was to systematically evaluate prodrome mania in youth. Methods New‐onset/worsening symptoms/signs ≥ moderate severity preceding first were assessed 52 youth (16.2 ± 2.8 years) with a research diagnosis bipolar I disorder ( BD ‐I). Youth and/or caregivers underwent semi‐structured interviews, using Bipolar Prodrome Symptom Scale–Retrospective. Results reported start gradually most (88.5%), either slow (59.6%) or rapid (28.8%) deterioration, while...

To review prevention programs, psychosocial and psychopharmacologic treatments, service delivery configurations for children adolescents with maladaptive aggression. propose a research agenda disorders of aggression in child adolescent psychiatry.Recent empirical studies were reviewed using searches MEDLINE PsycINFO (text terms: aggression, antisocial, violence, conduct, oppositional, treatment, psychopharmacology, prevention), relevant books, articles, bibliographies.Articles met the...
Objective: To conduct a pilot study comparing the effects of quetiapine and placebo for treatment depressive episodes in adolescents with bipolar I disorder. Method: Thirty‐two (ages 12–18 years) episode associated disorder were randomized to eight weeks double‐blind quetiapine, 300–600 mg/day, or placebo. This two‐site was conducted from March 2006 through August 2007. The primary efficacy measure change Children’s Depression Rating Scale–Revised Version (CDRS‐R) scores baseline endpoint....
