Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) report high levels of co‐occurring mood disorders. Previous work suggests that people ASD also experience aberrant responses to social reward compared typically developing (TD) peers. In the TD population, processing has been linked anhedonia (i.e., loss pleasure), which is a hallmark feature depression. This study examined interplay between self‐reported pleasure from and nonsocial rewards, symptom severity, loneliness, depressive symptoms...
This cohort study uses the Vizient Clinical Data Base to compare postoperative in-hospital morbidity and mortality of surgical patients with COVID-19 infection without infection.
This study assessed the incremental utility of emotion reactivity and regulation in relation to nonsuicidal self‐injury ( NSSI ). Participants included 379 college students aged 18–22 who completed self‐report measures regulation, reactivity, . Emotion was significantly related both ignoring controlling for but reverse not true. Participants' use affect appeared moderate this relation. Findings support deficits as a target intervention over above heightened especially those regulate negative affect.
Background Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is marked by repetitive thinking and high rates of depression. Understanding the extent to which negative in ASD reflects autistic stereotypy versus general depressive patterns (e.g., rumination) could help guide treatment research improve emotional health ASD. We compared associations between rumination, symptoms, pupil response social-emotional material adults with typically developing (TD) without Methods N = 53 verbally fluent young were...
Summary There is no clear genetic etiology or convergent pathophysiology for autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Using cortical organoids and single-cell transcriptomics, we modeled alterations in the formation of forebrain between sons with idiopathic ASD their unaffected fathers thirteen families. Alterations transcriptome suggest that pathogenesis macrocephalic normocephalic probands involves an opposite disruption balance excitatory neurons dorsal plate other lineages such as...
Though there is growing awareness of the overrepresentation autistic patients in chronic pain clinics, potential adaptations for assessment and treatment this population have not yet been established. To address gap, a retrospective review electronic medical records discussions by an interdisciplinary team were summarized to inform biopsychosocial factors affecting presentation, assessment, youth. Our sample included record 95 receiving outpatient pediatric clinic. Results indicated that 9%...
Inconsistent results of psychological treatments for pediatric functional abdominal pain (FAP) may be due to heterogeneity patients' pain-related characteristics. This randomized controlled trial tested whether statistically derived patient subgroups (high dysfunctional [HPD], high adaptive [HPA], and low [LPA]) moderated response cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) adolescents with FAP their parents (n = 278 dyads; patients were 66% female, mean [SD] age was 14.62 [1.88] years, 95% female)....
Objective/Background Sleep disturbances have been commonly reported as comorbid in youth with pain conditions, but prior research specific to functional abdominal (FAP) is limited. This study describes individual factors associated increased risk for sleep disturbance and characterizes the relationship between pain-related variables.Participants Participants included 278 adolescents (age 11 17 years, M age = 15 years; 89% Caucasian; 65% female) FAP.Methods on disturbances, severity,...
Despite guidelines recommending postfracture bone health workup, multiple studies have shown that evaluation and treatment of osteoporosis has not been consistently implemented after fragility fractures. The primary aim this study was to evaluate rates in adult patients low-energy thoracolumbar vertebral compression fractures (VCFs).We retrospectively reviewed all ≥60 years old presenting a single academic trauma center with acute VCFs ground-level fall from 2016 2020 . Rates screening...
Clinician and caregiver reports of autism features are both integral to receiving an diagnosis appropriate intervention, yet informant discrepancies present in clinical practice may differ by demographic characteristics the child family. The study examined how clinician–caregiver ratings a child’s autism-related behaviors relate sex at birth, age first diagnosis, amount intervention received. Participants were 280 children (76.8% male, 67.9% White), 6–11 years old ( M = 8.5 ± 1.6), with...
Objective: The study aimed to investigate the reciprocal and temporal relations between ADHD symptoms emotional problems in school-age children. Method: This 1-year longitudinal with a four-wave design included 1,253 children adolescents (254 third graders, 281 fifth 718 eighth graders; 50.9% boys). were measured using parent report of Swanson, Nolan, Pelham, Version IV Scale Strengths Difficulties Questionnaire. Results: Cross-lagged panel analyses indicated that both inattention...
Objectives: Prior work in a cohort of youth with functional abdominal pain (FAP) identified patient subgroups (High Pain Dysfunctional, High Adaptive, Low Adaptive) that predicted differences the course FAP from childhood into young adulthood. We aimed to replicate these new sample adolescents using original classification algorithm and extend subgroup characteristics include parental health service use. Methods: Adolescents (n=278; ages 11 17 y, 66% females) presenting gastroenterology...
Abstract Electroencephalographic peak alpha frequency (PAF) is a marker of neural maturation that increases with age throughout childhood. Distinct PAF observed in children autism spectrum disorder such does not increase and instead positively associated cognitive ability. The current study clarifies extends previous findings by characterizing the effects ability on between diagnostic groups sample adolescents without disorder. Resting EEG data behavioral measures were collected from 45...
Background: Dysphagia refers to the patient’s subjective experience. It is a symptom and should be differentiated from objective signs of swallowing impairment observed by healthcare providers. We hypothesized that there rampant misuse term dysphagia in medical literature. Objective: To evaluate prevalence inaccurate use Methods: A comprehensive database search was performed PubMed, Ovid Embase, Cochrane Library identify all 2019 English articles adult medicine literature containing title,...
Drains are used in plastic surgery to remove excess fluid while ameliorating complications. However, there is a paucity of evidence supporting guiding parameters on when discontinue drain. The aim our study was determine whether two the most common parameters, drain volume 24 hours before removal or postoperative day, valid indicators for removal.A retrospective chart review conducted surgical operations performed by division between July 2014 and May 2019. Of 1308 patients, 616 had complete...
The challenges observed in health service psychology (HSP) training during COVID-19 revealed systemic and philosophical issues that preexisted the pandemic, but became more visible global crisis. In a position paper written by 23 trainees across different sites specializations, authors use lessons learned from as touchstone for call to action HSP training. Historically, trainee voices have been conspicuously absent literature about clinical We describe longstanding dilemmas were exacerbated...
