Summary: This study examined the diagnostic indicators, clinical characteristics, and functional impairment associated with adult ADHD using electronic medical records and self-report measures. The results showed a significant difference in prevalence of ADHD between self-report screening and medical records. ADHD was found to contribute to functional impairment even when controlling for other psychiatric comorbidities.

Summary: This research utilizes machine learning models and Q-learning algorithm to construct clinical tools with interpretability and robustness, aiding in complex clinical diagnoses. Through simulating the differentiation process of developmental disorders in children, it demonstrates how to train more robust classifiers by maximizing accuracy and minimizing information required.

Summary: Vitamin D deficiency is a hidden pandemic that affects a large percentage of the world's population. It not only impacts bone and calcium homeostasis but also has a connection to brain function and cognitive decline in neuropsychiatric illnesses such as autism, schizophrenia, depression, and ADHD. While existing research highlights the essential role of vitamin D in cognitive function, further studies are needed to determine its specific effects.

Summary: The study examines the impact of relative age on mental health, specifically in preterm infants. The results show that being relatively young within a school class is associated with an increased likelihood of psychostimulant prescription, and this effect persists into young adulthood for preterm individuals.

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: This study compared the levels of mindfulness in children with ADHD and typically developing children, as well as their mothers. The findings showed that children with ADHD and their mothers had significantly lower levels of mindfulness compared to typically developing children and their mothers. This suggests that childhood mental disorders like ADHD can reduce mindfulness in children and their mothers.

Summary: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting 2% of children. A computer vision-based motion trajectory detection approach was proposed in this study to objectively extract movement features (MFs) from videos and evaluate children's activity levels in ASD assessment. The most relevant MFs were found to be the pixel distance (PD)-based MFs of all three body key points and the instantaneous pixel velocity (IPV)-based MFs of the right wrist key point in Table-play activity, which can be used as an auxiliary means for automating the evaluation of activity levels in ASD assessment.

Summary: The literature review examines the association between ADHD, hypersexuality, and paraphilias, finding that individuals with ADHD may report these behaviors but the frequency of hypersexuality and paraphilias in the ADHD population is not definitively established. Conversely, studies suggest a high prevalence of ADHD in individuals with hypersexuality and paraphilias. The review is limited by methodological differences, varying measurement instruments, and small sample sizes in existing studies.

Summary: The comorbidity of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is well established. This study compares attentional strengths and weaknesses in ASD and ADHD and explores their associations with impairment, cognitive flexibility, and perseveration/perfectionism. The results show that autistic children have higher rates of attentional strengths compared to those with ADHD, and these attentional strength scores are associated with levels of perseveration/perfectionism.

Summary: This study compared the participation, support, and barriers for children with ADHD at home pre-COVID-19 and during the COVID-19 outbreak. Results showed a significant increase in participation frequency in activities like computer games, socializing, and household chores during the COVID-19 period. Mothers reported higher involvement levels and easier participation due to reduced cognitive and social demands, as well as more readily available resources in the home environment during the COVID-19 period.

Summary: Studies have shown that individuals with ADHD are more likely to experience functional impairments in social and occupational settings, but there is limited evidence on real-life instability. It is also unclear if these impairments differ across sex and throughout adulthood.

Summary: Research has shown that caffeine treatment can increase attention and improve learning, memory, and olfactory discrimination without affecting blood pressure and body weight. However, the role of caffeine in modulating ADHD-like symptoms is contradictory, requiring further clarification.
