Summary: A study of the U.S. population found that both young and advanced maternal age at childbirth are associated with increased risk of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and learning disability (LD) in offspring. Children born to mothers aged 18-24 years have a higher risk of ADHD and LD, while those born to mothers aged 35-39 years have a lower risk of ADHD and a higher risk of LD.

Summary: Limited evidence suggests that a diagnosis of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and/or learning disabilities (ADHD/LD) may have an impact on recovery and behavior following sport-related concussion (SRC). A retrospective cohort study was conducted, and the results showed that patients with ADHD/LD had worse outcomes, including a lower likelihood of symptom resolution and return-to-learn, as well as an increased odds of changing sport behavior, often to a safer style of play or retiring from the sport.

Summary: Evidence suggests that neurodevelopmental disorders may be associated with an increased incidence of concussion, and collegiate athletes with self-reported diagnoses of ADHD, LD, and ADHD+LD are more likely to report single and multiple concussions. Male athletes with ADHD, LD, and ADHD+LD had a greater risk of incurring a concussion during enrollment in the study, especially those with a history of concussion. No significant differences were found between females and males with ADHD, LD, or ADHD+LD in terms of odds of concussion history or risk for incurring concussion.

Summary: Pathogenic variants in the NR4A2 gene cause a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by developmental delay, language impairment, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Two novel variants in NR4A2 were identified in two patients using whole exome sequencing. Functional analysis revealed that these variants affect protein expression and splicing differently. The study highlights the potential link between NR4A2 mutations and phenotypic variability.

Summary: This study examined the effects of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and diagnosed learning disability (LD) on vestibular and oculomotor baseline concussion assessment in pediatrics. The findings suggest worse baseline concussion assessment scores on vestibular/ocular motor assessment domains in pediatric athletes diagnosed with ADHD/LD.

Summary: Patients with ADHD had higher parent-reported symptoms both before and after mTBI, while females exhibited higher fatigue and emotional symptoms pre-injury and higher symptoms in all domains post-mTBI compared to males. The study highlights the importance of assessing baseline symptoms and considering ADHD status and sex when evaluating mTBI symptom severity in clinical settings.

Summary: While the prevalence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children is increasing worldwide, there is a lack of focus on screening compared to treatment. In this study, we developed a projection-based game to better understand children's abnormal behavior for ADHD screening. By analyzing the skeleton data obtained through the game using a deep learning model with channel attention layer, we successfully classified children into normal, ADHD-RISK, and ADHD classes with a classification accuracy of 98.15%.

Summary: Hyperfocus and flow are intense concentration experiences associated with reduced perception of irrelevant stimuli and improved task performance. Hyperfocus has been historically seen as a symptom of ADHD, autism, or schizophrenia, while flow is regarded as an enjoyable experience in positive psychology. Recent studies suggest that hyperfocus and flow may be the same phenomenon viewed from different perspectives.

Summary: Behavioral disorders involving attention and impulse control dysfunction, such as ADHD, are common in children and adolescents, and have a significant impact on their lives. Animal model studies have been instrumental in establishing causal relationships between environmental risk factors and these disorders, as well as testing therapeutic approaches.

Summary: Behavioral disorders involving attention and impulse control dysfunction, such as ADHD, have significant impact on the lives of children and adolescents, but their etiology is not well understood. Animal models can play an essential role in establishing causal relationships between environmental risk factors and a disorder, as well as testing therapies. Studies on lead and manganese exposure in animal models have helped establish causal relationships and test therapeutic approaches for attention and impulse control disorders. These animal models provide insights into the role of environmental exposures as contributors to ADHD and the efficacy of existing therapies.

Summary: Sport specialisation is a growing trend among youth athletes in the USA, prompting concerns about potential risks such as overuse injuries and burnout. Research in this area is still limited by methodological and design constraints, highlighting the need to address pressing questions to promote safe and healthy youth sport participation. Efforts are being made to improve the quality and relevance of research on youth sport specialisation in order to ensure continued opportunities for safe and healthy sport participation for all young athletes.

Summary: This study examines the association between medical diagnoses and life circumstances among suicide decedents. The study identifies different suicide typologies based on demographics, life events, health problems, and suicide methods. The findings suggest that improved indicators of lived experience and behavioral health could enhance suicide screening.

Summary: This study investigated the association between various medical diagnoses and firearm and nonfirearm suicide. The results showed that behavioral health diagnoses were more strongly associated with nonfirearm suicide in men, while the association for firearm-related suicide was weaker in men compared to women. These findings highlight the differences in associations between different genders and suicide means.

Summary: This study examined the association between sensation-seeking and a student-athlete's concussion-related knowledge, attitudes, perceived social norms, and care-seeking/disclosure behaviors.
Higher sensation-seeking was significantly associated with less favorable concussion attitudes, less favorable perceived social norms surrounding concussion, and continuing to play while experiencing concussion symptoms.
Therefore, athlete with increased sensation-seeking may be at risk for failing to disclose a concussion, decreasing athlete safety and resulting in less optimal care post-injury.

Summary: Youth sport specialization may increase the risk of negative impacts on physical and psychological health. There is broad representation of specialization aspects but limited consistency between health organization guidelines. Adopting a more specific, measurable, and action-promoting framework for recommendations could improve future guidance in the youth sport community.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed youth sport development guidelines across soccer, basketball, ice hockey, and swimming. It found consensus on the emphasis of early skill development and access to well-trained coaches, but inconsistencies in volume recommendations and lack of proposed methods to monitor athlete well-being. The study highlights the need to create a framework for youth sport specialization to provide specific and consistent guidelines.

The results show that the ranking based on the new burden measure differs from traditional measures, and it can help prioritize resource allocation to communities with higher burdens.

Summary: No significant association was found between subjective cognition and objective measures of cognitive functioning among former collegiate football players. However, a greater self-reported concussion history was inversely associated with subjective cognition. Distress was significantly related to all subjective cognition metrics as well as performance on delayed recall and verbal fluency. Sleep quality was only significantly related to timed visuospatial sequencing.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate subjective memory complaints in patients with epilepsy using the Memory Assessment Clinics Self-Rating Scale (MAC-S) and to create a shorter version - the Memory Assessment Clinics Scale for Epilepsy (MAC-E). Through various analyses, a five-factor structure was identified and the MAC-E was reduced from 49 to 30 items.
