Comparison of childhood disintegrative disorder and disintegrative psychosis not diagnosed as childhood disintegrative disorder

Childhood Disintegrative Disorder : A Case Report

Childhood Disintegrative Disorder : Sir, We would like to report a rare case of childhood disintegrative disorder. This disorder was first described by Theodore Heller in 1908. He described 6 children, who after 3 to 4 years of normal development displayed severe developmental regression in language, social skills and cognition. He called it 'Dementia Infantilis.' It was also called as 'Heller'...

Neurogenetic analysis of childhood disintegrative disorder

BACKGROUND Childhood disintegrative disorder (CDD) is a rare form of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) of unknown etiology. It is characterized by late-onset regression leading to significant intellectual disability (ID) and severe autism. Although there are phenotypic differences between CDD and other forms of ASD, it is unclear if there are neurobiological differences. METHODS We pursued a mul...

Alterations in the light transmission through single lens fibers during calcium-mediated disintegrative globulization.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine changes in the light transmission through single cortical fibers isolated from the rat lens during the process of disintegrative globulization. METHODS Single cortical fibers were isolated from adult rat lens by treatment with trypsin in a solution containing 10 mM HEPES, 10 mM EDTA, and 280 mM sucrose (pH 7.4, 300 to 310 mOsm) HEPES-EDTA-sucro...

Adverse childhood life events and postpartum psychosis in bipolar disorder.

BACKGROUND Women with bipolar disorder are at increased risk of postpartum psychosis. Adverse childhood life events have been associated with depression in the postpartum period, but have been little studied in relation to postpartum psychosis. In this study we investigated whether adverse childhood life events are associated with postpartum psychosis in a large sample of women with bipolar I d...
