Summary: Inattention is a key symptom of ADHD, but the mechanisms underlying it are unclear. More specific approaches are needed to link disruptions in cognitive performance with ADHD behaviors. A pilot study found that even typically developing children did not maximally extract and combine information to maximize rewards in a cognitive task targeting attention selection mechanisms.

Summary: This study compared the serum levels of visfatin, irisin, and UCP1 between children with ADHD and healthy controls. The results showed a significant difference in UCP1 levels between the two groups, suggesting a potential association between UCP1 and childhood ADHD. However, there were no significant differences in visfatin and irisin levels. Additionally, the study found no correlation between these adipokines and neuropsychological tests.

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: 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 examined COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among adolescents with and without ADHD and found that adolescents with ADHD were more hesitant and had less confidence in vaccine safety compared to those without ADHD. Social determinants such as race and family income influenced vaccine hesitancy and confidence in all adolescents. Social contextual processes interacted with ADHD status, with concerns about COVID-19 being associated with increased confidence in vaccine safety for adolescents without ADHD, and noncompliance with social distancing guidelines being associated with greater vaccine hesitancy for adolescents with ADHD.

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: Methylphenidate (MPH) is the recommended first-line treatment for ADHD. This study used functional MRI and network control theory to analyze the effects of MPH on brain network dynamics in children with ADHD. The findings suggest that MPH may stabilize functional network dynamics and improve cognitive performance in children with ADHD.

Summary: The study compared ADHD diagnoses with behaviors in Australian children, finding that while ADHD diagnoses increased, the behaviors remained steady. A quarter of diagnosed children had behaviors within the normal range, indicating potential overdiagnosis of ADHD. Children born in a later cohort were more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD, regardless of their behaviors.

Summary: The study compared serum levels and inflammatory indicators in children with ASD, ADHD, and healthy controls. Higher neutrophil levels and NLR were found in ADHD and ASD groups compared to healthy controls, with NLR significantly correlated with social interaction problems in ASD. There were no significant differences in B12, folate, and ferritin levels between groups.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the demographic and clinical characteristics of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at a tertiary center in Southeeast Turkey. The findings indicate that females are more likely to have cognitive developmental delay, and most children with ASD are diagnosed late. Psychiatric comorbidities may contribute to the delay in diagnosis, and training of educational and primary healthcare workers can facilitate early diagnosis.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, endoscopic procedures should ideally be conducted in negative-pressure chambers. However, this study demonstrated that procedures can be carried out in units without negative-pressure rooms, as long as appropriate protective measures are in place and patients are evaluated for symptoms of COVID-19, with no cases of infection detected.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association of theory of mind (ToM) and empathy characteristics in adolescents diagnosed with social anxiety disorder (SAD). The results showed that adolescents with SAD had difficulties in ToM decoding, but evaluated themselves as more empathic in self-report tests. The discrepancy between objective tests and subjective reports may have an important role in the etiology and treatment of SAD in adolescents.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the engagement and theoretical drivers of camouflaging behavior in the general population. The findings revealed a similar dimensional structure of camouflaging behavior in the general population compared to previous studies on autism. Social motivational factors, such as social comparison, public self-consciousness, internalized social stigma, and social anxiety, were identified as significant predictors of camouflaging behavior. These findings highlight the shared social coping experience of camouflaging in the general population, including autistic individuals.

American women scored higher on the Baby-PAWS items than Dutch women. These results highlight cross-cultural differences in perinatal mental health and stress the importance of examining instrument structure of context-dependent constructs.

Summary: This study found differences between patients with gambling disorder (GD) with and without self-reported ADHD symptoms in terms of psychopathology, personality, and treatment outcomes. Patients with self-reported ADHD symptoms were more severe in their GD and experienced more severe relapses following treatment. Therefore, more vigilant follow-up and interventions are needed for patients with this comorbidity.
