Article Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effects of medications used in treatment adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) on blood pressure and pulse. Method: Subjects were those DSM-III-R-/DSM-IV-diagnosed ADHD enrolled placebo-controlled studies 5 different for ADHD. Cardiovascular data from these both stimulants (methylphenidate, amphetamine compounds, pemoline) nonstimulants (bupropion, desipramine) reanalyzed baseline-to-endpoint active-treatment or placebo heart...
This longitudinal study investigated the stress autonomy, sensitization, and depression vulnerability hypotheses in adolescents across 6 years (i.e., Grades through 12). Participants were 240 children (Time 1 mean age = 11.86, SD 0.57) who varied risk for on basis of their mother's history mood disorders. All analyses conducted as multilevel models to account nesting data. Results consistent with sensitization hypothesis. The within-subject relation levels depressive symptoms strengthened...
For most patients with chronic low back pain (cLBP), the cause is "nonspecific," meaning there no clear association between and identifiable pathology of spine or associated tissues. Laypersons providers alike are less inclined to help, feel sympathy, dislike more, suspect deception, attribute lower severity whose does not have an objective basis in tissue pathology. Because these stigmatizing responses from others, cLBP may that their particularly unjust unfair. These pain-related injustice...
Child maltreatment is a major public health problem. Although rates vary over time and are influenced by neighborhood characteristics, the unique effects of crime disadvantage on risk not well understood. This study utilized Bayesian spatiotemporal approach to examine factors for substantiated child abuse neglect 9-year period across zip codes in Davidson County, TN. Risk sexual physical decreased from 2008 2016. In contrast, increased 2011 2014, followed rapid decrease risk. Whereas higher...
Objective: Despite its common onset in preschool years, few studies have examined the characteristics of bipolar disorder (BPD) preschoolers. This study reports on clinical characteristics, psychiatric comorbidity, and functioning preschoolers identified with BPD who were referred to a pediatric clinic. Methods: Structured interviews assessing lifetime psychopathology by Diagnostic Statistical Manual Mental Disorders (third edition, revised) criteria completed parents about their children...
This prospective study investigated a cognitive diathesis-stress model of depression in adolescents across the transition from 6th to 7th grade using individual, additive, weakest link, and keystone approaches operationalizing vulnerability. Participants were 240 young (mean age = 11.87 years, SD 0.57) who differed risk for mood disorders based on their mother's history depression. Results hierarchical multiple regression analyses indicated some support diatheses. In particular, link...
Individuals with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) report experiencing trauma more often than healthy controls, but little is known regarding psychophysical correlates. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that adolescents and young adults FGIDs since childhood a history (n = 38) would exhibit heightened temporal summation thermal pain stimuli, an index central sensitization, greater clinical symptoms compared patients no 95) controls 135). Participants completed...
This study examined cortisol and affective reactivity to a psychosocial stress task in 102 young adults who varied risk for depression (56 remitted depressed, 46 never depressed). Participants were randomly assigned either (i.e., social-evaluative threat) or control no condition. For never-depressed individuals, responses significantly greater the compared Moreover, than remitted-depressed individuals with history of depression, did not differ between conditions. Negative also was higher but...
Identifying risk factors early in the course of depression has important implications for prevention, given that likelihood recurrence increases with each successive episode.
Objectives This prospective study investigated whether within‐individual relations between depression vulnerability factors (childhood trauma, dysfunctional attitudes, maladaptive coping) and depressive symptom trajectories varied as a function of the number prior major episodes (MDEs) experienced in their lifetime. Design Participants were 68 young adults who with regard to history depression; 32 remitted depressed 36 never depressed. Methods Depressive symptoms disorders assessed using...
This study compared cortisol responses to a standardized psychosocial stressor during major depressive episode (MDE) and again remission in adolescents young adults. Twenty-six individuals with no personal or family history of psychiatric disorder (NC) 24 diagnosis (MDD) at Time 1 participated the study. The MDD group showed robust their index after recovery. In contrast, NC habituation repeated stressor, as evident flatter response profile 2. Within group, net peak first stress test was...
Abstract Functional abdominal pain (FAP) is associated with enhanced responsiveness. Although impaired conditioned modulation (CPM) characterizes adults a variety of chronic conditions, relatively little known about CPM in youth FAP. This study assessed to evoked thermal 140 (ages 10-17), 63 whom had FAP and 77 were healthy controls. Multilevel models demonstrated weaker effects than youth, as evident slower within-person decreases ratings during the conditioning phase. Weaker greater...
