Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurodevelopmental disability characterised by a cognitive profile of executive function deficits, particularly relating to inhibitory control. There is much evidence that TS is likely to occur comorbidly with other disorders and that this may exacerbate the presence o f cognitive disruptions. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the neurodevelop...

Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common disorders affecting young children, and its underlying mechanism is not completely understood. This paper proposes a phenotypic integrated machine learning framework to investigate functional connectivity alterations between ADHD and control subjects not diagnosed with ADHD, employing fMRI data. Our aim is to apply computat...

—Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common disorders of childhood, affecting 3 to 7 percent of the population (American Psychiatric Association 2000). Research has indicated that the prevalence rate of ADHD in adult populations is approximately 4.4 percent and that the majority of those cases go untreated (Kessler et al. 2006). To date, no known research has inve...

The present study describes the occurrence of psychiatric comorbid disorders in a cohort of 86 high functioning autism (HFA)/Asperger syndrome (AS) patients, examined at Child Neurology and Psychiatry Unit of Tor Vergata University. 38 patients out of 86 (44.2%) presented one or more psychiatric comorbidities, such as mood disorders, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Tourette syn...

INTRODUCTION Impulsiveness, hyperactivity, and attention deficit are the most frequent neurocognitive disorders of childhood. Leaving aside the putative role of environmental and nutritive factors, the etiology and pathogenesis of these disorders remains unknown. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the concentration of lead, cadmium, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, an...

The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms among school children in Jordan and the probable associated risk factors. This was a cross-sectional descriptive study and simple random sampling was used to select 480 students, aged 6–12 years, from government primary schools in Mafraq City, Jordan. Data were collected using t...

adenotonsillar hypertrophy and obstructive sleep disordered breathing can lead to attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (adhd). the purpose of this study was to evaluate effect of adenotonsillectomy on improvement of adhd symptoms in a quasi-experimental (before and after) study. the efficacy of adenotonsillectomy on improvement of adhd symptoms of 35 children aged 5-12 years with adenotonsi...

BACKGROUND Previous studies suggest that blood lead levels are positively associated with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and ADHD-symptoms in children. However, the associations between lead exposure and ADHD subtypes are inconsistent and understudied. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to explore the association of low-level concurrent lead exposure with subtypes of A...
