Summary: The study reviewed the association of long-term MPH exposure with height, weight, and timing of puberty in ADHD individuals. MPH was found to have consistent significant effects on reducing height and weight, with more prominent impacts observed in the initial months of treatment. Limited data were available on the timing of puberty. Prospective studies are needed to further explore the underlying biological mechanisms and potential clinical implications.

Summary: Adults with ADHD often have comorbid substance use disorder (SUD), leading to greater severity of both disorders and additional challenges for treatment. Current research on pharmacological management of ADHD with comorbid SUD is limited, particularly in regards to the long-term effects of stimulant medications on dopamine signaling. Evidence suggests that high doses of stimulant medications have moderate efficacy on ADHD symptoms in ADHD-SUD subjects, but there is a risk for misuse. Atomoxetine is recommended for ADHD with comorbid cocaine or amphetamine use disorder, but its effectiveness in reducing addictive behavior is not well-demonstrated. For other subtypes of SUD, both atomoxetine and stimulant drugs have limited impact on addictive behavior, and a combination of ADHD treatment and SUD-specific strategies is recommended.

Summary: This study provides a systematic review and analysis of the effectiveness of electroencephalogram-based neurofeedback (EEG-NF) in treating the core symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adolescents/adults. The results suggest that EEG-NF can effectively improve inattention symptoms, but its effectiveness in reducing hyperactivity/impulsivity remains inconclusive.

Summary: The study found that 65% of older adults with ADHD had a positive response to medication, but 42% discontinued medication due to side effects or nonresponse. There was a slight decrease in weight and increase in heart rate after the use of methylphenidate.

Summary: Athletes of all ages may be affected by medical and mental health issues, such as ADHD. Combining social and cognitive therapies with medication is likely to be the most effective treatment for ADHD in athletes. Stimulant medications used for ADHD have the potential to improve athletic performance and enable student athletes to focus on academic studies for longer periods of time. However, the use of prescription stimulants is often regulated or banned by sports governing bodies, requiring athletes to provide appropriate documentation.

Summary: This study found that moderate-to-vigorous physical activity may be beneficial for improving sleep in adult ADHD patients using stimulant medications. Adhering to the recommended guidelines of 150 minutes of physical activity per week is particularly important in reducing the risk of sleep problems, especially for men.

Summary: This study analyzed urine microbiome profiles to explore the potential of the urine microbiome as a biomarker for pediatric ADHD. The ADHD group showed decreased alpha diversity and significant beta diversity differences compared to the control group. The genus Afipia exhibited significant correlations with ADHD symptoms, suggesting its potential as a biomarker for ADHD.

Summary: In their recent examination of the Monitoring the Future (MTF) data, McCabe et al. (Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2023) investigate the relationship between stimulant medication treatment for adolescents with ADHD and their risk for substance use. Their nuanced findings suggest an increased risk for illicit stimulant use and non-prescribed stimulant medication use in youth who initiate treatment later and have shorter treatment duration. The authors highlight the clinical implications and recommend further research to clarify this important issue.

Summary: This review investigates the relationship between brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in ADHD children before and after treatment with stimulant medication. The findings suggest that there is no significant difference in peripheral BDNF levels before and after methylphenidate treatment in ADHD children, and BDNF levels also do not differ from controls.

Summary: The study found that many youth believe peer pressure and coping are common reasons for stimulant diversion, with many perceiving that lots of youth misuse stimulants. They thought stimulants could be obtained from peers, people with prescriptions, dealers, and family members, and some even mentioned access through unnecessary prescriptions. Many were aware of the health risks of misuse, but few mentioned potential legal consequences.

Summary: Neuroimaging research in ADHD aims to identify biomarkers for diagnosis and treatment, with R-fMRI increasingly used to study functional connectivity. The CUNMET pilot study focused on R-fMRI markers of clinical response, finding stronger negative correlations in brain networks of children responding to lisdexamfetamine compared to treatment-naive patients, suggesting less inter-network interference. Lessons learned could be useful for future multidisciplinary ADHD research towards personalized medicine.

Summary: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Treatment options for ADHD include psychoeducation, pharmacological interventions, and non-pharmacological interventions. There is a need for improvement in current pharmacotherapeutic strategies and the development of novel medications.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of a vaccine strategy bundle in increasing HPV vaccine initiation and completion rates in a specialty clinic setting. By implementing the bundle, which included staff education, provider incentives, offering vaccines in clinics, and verifying vaccine completion, the clinic successfully improved HPV vaccine initiation and completion rates among sickle cell disease patients.

Summary: The study tested the usefulness of various biomarkers as indicators of gut dysfunction in cystic fibrosis (CF) and investigated the repeatability of these measures in individuals over short periods and their correlation with clinical outcomes. The results showed that elevated levels of fLcn2 in individuals with CF may predict worsened pulmonary function.

Summary: RAE on ECG has a low positive predictive value for RAE on echocardiogram in previously healthy young patients. The highest yield for RAE on echocardiogram was observed in patients who were <1 year of age, had RAE in the anterior precordial leads, or displayed right ventricular hypertrophy on ECG.

Summary: This prospective cohort study aimed to investigate the impact of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) on the health-related quality of life (HRQL) of infants from NICU hospitalization to one year post-discharge. The study found that lower HRQL during NICU stay was associated with earlier gestational age, postnatal corticosteroid usage, outborn status, and gastrostomy tube placement. Lower HRQL at 3 and 12 months post-discharge was associated with readmissions, home oxygen use, parent-reported difficulty breathing, lower developmental scores, and not playing with other children. Most parents reported similar or improved HRQL after discharge, but parents of infants with respiratory symptoms experienced less improvement. Efforts to improve parent HRQL should focus on respiratory symptoms and social isolation.

Summary: This study aims to determine if children with elbow flexion contracture (EFC) caused by brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) are more likely to develop shoulder contracture and undergo surgical treatment. A retrospective review was conducted on children under 2 years old with BPBI who presented to a single children's hospital. The results showed that patients with EFC had reduced shoulder range of motion and higher odds of shoulder contracture and surgical treatment. Prompt referral to a BPBI specialty clinic is recommended for evaluation and potential surgery.
