Objective: Neuroimaging studies show structural alterations of various brain regions in children and adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), although nonreplications are frequent. The authors sought to identify cortical characteristics related ADHD using large-scale studies. Methods: Cortical thickness surface area (based on the Desikan–Killiany atlas) were compared between case subjects (N=2,246) control (N=1,934) for children, adolescents, separately ENIGMA-ADHD, a...
These international clinical practice guidelines were developed with detailed input from 29 invited consultants, who provided content as well feedback on draft versions. The final of the was ratified by Executive International Early Psychosis Association and presented formally endorsed at Third Conference held in Copenhagen, September 2002. They have been revised slightly to include medications that not available 2002, although a fully comprehensive process update has yet conducted. version...
Background: Structural brain abnormalities in schizophrenia have been repeatedly demonstrated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies, but it remains unclear whether these are static or progressive nature. While longitudinal MRI studies traditionally used to assess the issue of progression schizophrenia, information from cross-sectional neuroimaging directly comparing first-episode and chronic patients healthy controls may also be useful further clarify this issue. With recent interest...
Some studies have suggested alterations of structural brain asymmetry in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but findings been contradictory and based on small samples. Here, we performed the largest ever analysis left-right ADHD, using 39 datasets ENIGMA consortium.
Background: Volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been extensively studied in the last decade as a method to help with clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In recent years, researchers have also started investigating if that technique would be useful identify individuals mild cognitive impairment (MCI), differentiating them from AD patients and normal elderly controls. This research project was planned assess accuracy volumetric MRI differentiate those groups...
Os critérios mais utilizados para o diagnóstico de transtorno do déficit atenção/hiperatividade (TDAH) são aqueles listados pela quarta edição Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV) da Associação Americana Psiquiatria, baseados em estudos campo com crianças e adolescentes. A Adult Self-Report Scale (ASRS, versão 1.1) foi desenvolvida adaptar os sintomas no DSM-IV contexto vida adulta. O presente estudo consistiu uma adaptação transcultural instrumento original inglês final uso corrente...
Objective . Adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) display affective problems and impaired attention. Mood in ADHD can be improved by mindful awareness practices (MAP), but results are mixed regarding the enhancement of attentional performance. Here we evaluated MAP-induced changes quality life (QoL), mood, adult patients controls using more measures than prior studies. Methods Twenty-one 8 healthy underwent weekly MAP sessions; 22 similar 9 did not undergo intervention....
To evaluate and compare the performance of adults with ADHD high standard IQ in executive functions (EF) tasks.We investigated neuropsychological 51 ADHD, compared 33 healthy controls (HC) while performing a wide battery tests that measure functioning. Adults clinical diagnosis were divided into two groups according to their level (IQ ≥ 110-ADHD group more elevated IQ, < IQ).The presented worse functioning HC following measures: Stroop 2 ( p = .000) 3 .000), Trail Making Test (TMT) B .005),...
Abstract Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects 5% of children world-wide. Of these, two-thirds continue to have impairing symptoms ADHD into adulthood. Although a large literature implicates structural brain differences the disorder, it is not clear if adults with similar neuroanatomical as those seen in recent reports from ENIGMA-ADHD consortium finding for but adults. This paper uses deep learning neural network classification models determine there are changes brains...
Abstract Background Cognition heavily relies on social determinants and genetic background. Latin America comprises approximately 8% of the global population faces unique challenges, many derived from specific demographic socioeconomic variables, such as violence inequality. While factors have been described to influence mental health outcomes, no large-scale studies with American carried out. Therefore, we aim describe cognitive performance a representative sample individuals schizophrenia...
Abstract Background: The religion Kardecism Spiritism accepts and fosters dissociative experiences such as spiritual incorporation, automatic writing out-of-body part of its basic tenets. Mastery these skills is valued highly respected. Members undergo extensive formalized training under the guidance experienced leaders who model socially appropriate religious behaviors. Method: One hundred ten subjects at a prominent Kardecist Center in São Paulo, Brazil, were assessed with variety...
The available literature provides few studies on the effectiveness of methylphenidate in improving quality life individuals with ADHD. Objective: To assess Methyphenidate OROS formulation (OROS MPH) through QoL adults Method: A 12-week, multicenter, open-label trial involving 60 patients was used. measures used were Adult Self-Rating Scale, ADHD Quality Life Scale (AAQoL), State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Hamilton Depression Rating (HAM-D), Clinical Global Impression (CGI), safety...
Background Attention-Deficit/Hiperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent disorder, but its neuroanatomical circuitry still relatively understudied, especially in the adult population. The few morphometric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion tensor (DTI) studies available to date have found heterogeneous results. This may be at least partly attributable some well-known technical limitations of conventional voxel-based methods usually employed analyze such neuroimaging data....
Objective In adulthood, the diagnosis of attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ) has been subject recent controversy. We searched for a neuroanatomical signature associated with spectrum symptoms in adults by applying, first time, machine learning‐based pattern classification methods to structural MRI and diffusion tensor imaging DTI data obtained from stimulant‐naïve childhood‐onset healthy controls HC ). Method Sixty‐seven patients 66 underwent high‐resolution T1‐weighted...
\Drug-induced tardive dyskinesia (TD) affects approximately 20% to 30% of schizophrenic patients. Although it is usually mild, from 1% 8% patients may develop severe TD. Second-generation antipsychotics have demonstrated a lower risk inducing However, despite the advances brought by second-generation antipsychotics, treatment strategies for TD remain problematic, given both lack an established therapeutic choice and need long-term use in schizophrenia. Clozapine atypical antipsychotic with...
Considerando-se as dificuldades atuais do diagnóstico transtorno déficit de atenção/hiperatividade em adultos, foram reunidos especialistas brasileiros que fazem pesquisas nesta área, modo a produzir diretrizes consenso para uso no país. Foi realizada uma revisão não-sistemática preliminar e concebido um texto inicial, foi repetidamente avaliado editado pelos autores, com acréscimos correções ao longo 6 meses, através correio eletrônico reunião posterior, patrocinada pela Associação...
Objective: To investigate total and selected region-of-interest-based gray matter volume (GMV) in older adults with ADHD. Method: Twenty-five elderly (≥65 years old) patients ADHD 34 healthy controls underwent 1.5-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We used voxel-based morphometry to compare GMV between groups performed a correlation analysis symptoms comorbidities. Results: Findings revealed smaller males the right medial frontal orbital area extending toward superior, subgenual anterior...
