Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been characterized by impairments among distributed functional brain networks, e.g., the frontoparietal network (FPN), default mode (DMN), reward and motivation-related circuits (RMN), salience (SAL). In current study, we evaluated complexity connectivity (FC) of resting state fMRI (rsfMRI) in pre-adolescents with behavioral symptoms ADHD, for pathology-relevant networks. We leveraged data from Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD)...
Unhoused status is a substantial problem in the US. Pregnancy characteristics and maternal outcomes of individuals experiencing homelessness are currently under active investigation to optimize health for this population.To assess trends, characteristics, associated with unhoused pregnancy.This cross-sectional study analyzed data from Healthcare Cost Utilization Project National (Nationwide) Inpatient Sample. The population included hospitalizations vaginal cesarean deliveries January 1,...
Behavioral features of binge eating disorder (BED) suggest abnormalities in reward and inhibitory control. Studies adult populations functional control networks. Despite behavioral markers often developing children, the neurobiology pediatric BED remains unstudied.58 pre-adolescent children (aged 9-10-years) with (mBMI = 25.05; s.d. 5.40) 66 age, BMI developmentally matched 25.78; 0.33) were extracted from 3.0 baseline (Year 0) release Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study. We...
Abstract Importance The pathophysiology of ADHD is complicated by high rates psychiatric comorbidities, thus delineating unique versus shared functional brain perturbations critical in elucidating illness pathophysiology. Objective To investigate resting-state fMRI (rsfMRI)-complexity alterations among children with ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), and obsessive-compulsive (OCD), respectively, comorbid ODD, OCD, within the cool hot executive function (EF) networks. Design We...
This cohort study evaluates differences in suicide death rates across age groups of adolescent and young adult patients with cancer over time the US.
Binge eating disorder (BED) is a pernicious psychiatric which linked with broad medical and morbidity, obesity. While BED may be characterized by altered cortical morphometry, no evidence to date examined possible sex-differences in regional gray matter characteristics among those BED. This especially important consider children, where symptoms often emerge coincident rapid maturation.Pre-adolescent, 9-10-year old boys (N = 38) girls 33) were extracted from the 3.0 baseline (Year 0) release...
To examine the trends, characteristics, and outcomes of women with gynecologic malignancies who died suicide in United States.This is a retrospective, observational study using Surveillance, Epidemiology End Results program from 1973 to 2013. Women uterine, ovarian, cervical cancers had cause death recorded as or self-inflicted injury were included, temporal patient tumor assessed.Of 467,368 cancers, there 309 (0.07%) suicides during period. Across three malignancies, rates significantly...
Severe maternal morbidity refers to the most serious complications of pregnancy. Whether severe is associated with post-traumatic stress disorder currently under active investigation.This study aimed examine association between and at delivery.This was a retrospective cohort querying Healthcare Cost Utilization Project's National Inpatient Sample, which included 12,857,721 patients for national estimates who had vaginal or cesarean deliveries January 2016 December 2019. Patients mental...

In current study, we evaluated complexity connectivity (FC) of resting state fMRI (rsfMRI) in pre-adolescents with ADHD for pathology-relevant networks. We leveraged data from Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study. The final study...
There is a dearth of research assessing the prevalence eating disorders in publicly insured populations. While evidence shows that affect people all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds, has neglected to focus on rate at which they occur among those who have public health insurance. The present study indexes clinically significant disordered case series 165 adults sample an outpatient general psychiatry clinic Los Angeles, California. Results illustrate 46 (27.8%) participants...
Abstract Background Behavioral features of binge eating disorder (BED) suggest abnormalities in reward and inhibitory control. Studies adult populations functional control networks. Despite behavioral markers often developing children, the neurobiology pediatric BED remains unstudied. Methods 58 pre-adolescent children (aged 9-10-years) with 66 age, BMI developmentally-matched were extracted from 3.0 baseline (Year 0) release Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study. We...
The current study used resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging to measure the complexity of pre-adolescents with ADHD but no other comorbidities. We ran a factorial 2 (Group: ADHD, Control) by (Sex: Male, Female) analyses covariance on multiscale entropy (MSE) maps pubertal development status as covariate. It revealed MSE values were significantly lower in group than control various regions, including bilateral superior frontal gyrus, precuneus, right inferior/middle...
Relatively little is known about the efficacy of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for treatment binge eating disorder (BED). Specifically, few studies have explored precise nature how left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) TMS mechanistically facilitates BED symptom remission. The purpose this study to report a case patient with longstanding receiving treatment. We present 50-year-old Caucasian woman severe and enduring comorbid major depressive disorder. She presented...
