This article presents results from two interrelated studies. The first study conducted a meta-analysis of the published literature since 1990 to determine magnitude achievement problems associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Effect sizes were significantly different between participants and without ADHD (sample weighted r = .32, sample d . 71; p .001). Effects also examined according moderators age, gender, domain (reading, math, spelling), measurement method...
Objective: Although the symptoms of autism exhibit quantitative distributions in nature, estimates recurrence risk families have never previously considered or incorporated characterization autistic phenotype among siblings. Method: The authors report results 2,920 children from 1,235 participating a national volunteer register, with at least one child clinically affected by an spectrum disorder and full biological sibling. Results: A traditionally defined additional occurred 10.9% families....
Objective To estimate the effectiveness of adherence-promoting psychological interventions for pediatric populations with chronic health conditions.Methods A meta-analysis was conducted on 70 adherencepromoting intervention studies among chronically ill youth using a weighted least squares approach and random effect model.Results Medium effects sizes were found behavioral (mean d ¼.54, 95% confidence interval [CI] ¼ 0.34-0.73,n 10) multi-component ¼.51, CI 0.45-0.57,n 46), while educational...
Understanding the factor structure of autistic symptomatology is critical to discovery and interpretation causal mechanisms in autism spectrum disorder. We applied confirmatory analysis assessment measurement invariance a large ( N = 9635) accumulated collection reports on quantitative traits using Social Responsiveness Scale, representing broad diversity age, severity, reporter type. A two-factor (corresponding social communication impairment restricted, repetitive behavior) as elaborated...
Background With rates of autism diagnosis continuing to rise, there is an urgent need for effective and efficient service delivery models. Pivotal Response Treatment ( PRT ) considered established treatment spectrum disorder ASD ); however, have been few well‐controlled studies with adequate sample size. The aim this study was conduct a randomized controlled trial evaluate parent training group PRTG targeting language deficits in young children . Methods Fifty‐three significant delay between...
Abstract The relationship between respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) and valence arousal remains unclear. In the present study, associations emotion responses tonic or task‐related changes in RSA were assessed. Specifically, sensitivities of interbeat interval, RSA, skin conductance to values emotional stimuli examined. This study also explored association subjective, expressive, physiological responses. Response measures collected from 56 adults during baseline film‐viewing periods. Tonic...
Article Abstract Objective: To examine the proposed disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) diagnosis in a child psychiatric outpatient population. Evaluation of DMDD included 4 domains: clinical phenomenology, delimitation from other diagnoses, longitudinal stability, and association with parental disorders. Method: Data were obtained 706 children aged 6-12 years who participated Longitudinal Assessment Manic Symptoms (LAMS) study (sample was accrued November 2005 to 2008). DSM-IV...
Evidence-based assessment (EBA) streamlines literature reviewing and organizing clinical by targeting the vital few topics, “satisficing,” focusing on three major phases of activity: prediction diagnoses or other criteria, prescription treatment moderating factors, process measurement. EBA is an framework for applying a dozen steps to guide treatment. Technology changing increasing efficiency accuracy scoring feedback, as well innovations that make more intensive feasible. Fully implementing...
Background: Many youths with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) benefit from psychotropic medication treatment of co-morbid symptom patterns consistent attention-deficit/hyperactivity (ADHD). The lack clear indications and algorithms to direct clinical practice has led a very poor understanding overall use for these youths. present study examined the prevalence compared across individuals ASD without caregiver-reported ADHD diagnosis (ASD-only), (ADHD-only), (ASD+ADHD). Correlates were also...
<h3>Importance</h3> Recent reports have demonstrated a higher incidence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and substantially elevated autistic trait burden in individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). However, important discrepancies regarding the distribution traits, sex predominance, association between ASD symptoms attentional problems emerged, critical features phenotype within NF1 never been adequately explored. Establishing as monogenic cause for has implications affected...
It is recognised that 5% - 10 % of children with macrocephaly and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or intellectual disability (ID) have a heterozygous pathogenic mutation in the PTEN tumour suppressor gene associated hamartoma syndrome. However, clinical features course are unclear not been well documented.We undertook retrospective chart review (< 18 years) mutations to ascertain findings, possible outcomes.Clinical molecular data were collected analysed for 47 patients from 38 eligible...
