Whether there is a true increase in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequency or not remains unclear. Additionally, the rates of co-existing neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) total population sample has been fully examined before. Therefore, using Japan, we aimed to estimate prevalence and cumulative incidence annually, determine whether ASD by estimating examine (NDD).In this cross-sectional sequential design study, all 5-year-old children catchment area underwent screening annually from...
Objectives: Sleep disturbances are often associated with emotional/behavioral problems in young children, but whether the association differs among Asian countries remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate between sleep and Chinese Japanese preschoolers explore potential differences.Methods: Participants were 1,020 from 10 cities 438 1 city aged 4 5 years.

This study investigated the combined influence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) traits, attention-deficit/hyperactivity (ADHD) and positive childhood experiences (PCEs) on suicide-related behaviors in a large, representative sample Japanese adolescents young adults. Additionally, it explored role PCEs mitigating risks associated with neurodivergent traits. Data were collected from 5,000 individuals aged 16-25 years using validated scales to measure ASD ADHD PCEs, behaviors, including...
The aims of this study were to identify sensory processing profiles specific preschoolers with DCD in a community sample and examine the association problems motor coordination difficulties these children. Sixty-three 5-year-old children without other neurodevelopmental disorders 106 age-matched typically developing participated study. Sensory assessed using Profile. Our results demonstrated wide patterns (low registration, sensitivity avoiding) areas (auditory, vestibular, touch oral)...
Background and aims Internet addiction (IA) depression commonly co-occur in adolescents, yet the mechanisms underlying their comorbidity remain unclear. This study to elucidate mechanism through network analysis, identifying bridge symptoms linking IA depression, exploring sex differences. Additionally, examines association between effortful control (EC) symptoms, providing insights for interventions. Methods A school-based survey was conducted among 7th 9th-grade students Japan....
Although addictive internet use (AIU) and depression frequently co-occur in early adolescents, the mechanism accounting for their co-occurrence remains unclear. The aim of present study was to clarify longitudinal reciprocal relationships between AIU adolescents. We employed a random intercept cross-lagged model examine sample adolescent population comprising 1361 children (aged 12–13 at baseline) over two-year period. Our results revealed no significant relationship depression, suggesting...
Major depression is one of the most prevalent mental health problems in adolescents and associated with increased risk for subsequent attempted or completed suicide,1 comprising more than half reported adolescent suicide victims at death.2 Nevertheless, frequently missed that adults, possibly due to prominence irritability, mood reactivity, fluctuating symptoms.3 For early detection depression, screening scales are clinically important; therefore, optimal cut-off score detect major...

This study examined the relationship between trait rumination and effectiveness of problem solving strategies as assessed by Means-Ends Problem-Solving Test (MEPS) in a nonclinical population. The present extended previous studies terms using two instructions MEPS: second-person, actual strategy instructions, which has been utilized on rumination, third-person, ideal-strategy is considered more suitable for assessing strategies. We also replicated association each dimension Social...
Under the COVID-19 pandemic, concerns regarding prolonged screen time and mental health effects in children have increased. We examined association of depression with smartphone ownership school at four points: September 2019, July 2020, December March 2021. The analysis revealed an interaction between group time, indicating that depressive symptoms among owners were significantly more severe than other group. These results clearer for fourth-year students, pointing possession younger ages...
Abstract The present study examined the causes and consequences of stress generation in university students Japan. A two-wave longitudinal with an 8- or 9-week interval was conducted fall 2020. Undergraduate graduate at four universities Japan ( N = 201) completed self-report measures assessing experiences negative interpersonal dependent events, non-interpersonal independent events two times. At same time, they also responded to aggressive behaviors, trait rumination, depressive symptoms....
Previously, our group has demonstrated establishment of Cancer Stem Cell (CSC) models from stem cells in the presence conditioned medium cancer cell lines. In this study, we tried to identify factors responsible for induction CSCs. Since found lipid composition could be traced arachidonic acid cascade CSC model, assessed prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) as a candidate ability induce CSCs induced pluripotent (iPSCs). Mouse iPSCs acquired characteristics 10 ng/mL PGE2 after 4 weeks. constitutive Akt...
The Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ) is equipped with good properties for screening the broader phenotype of autistic traits, but it standardized a limited age range-from 7 to 16 years. To contribute early detection Disorder (ASD), particularly in high functioning children ASD, likely cause maladjustments during school age, present study examined psychometric apply ASSQ younger age. We tested parents' ratings preschool clinical (N = 154, average 60.77 months, range 55-72...
