Objective:
To determine the level of impulsivity of adolescents diagnosed as suffering from ADHD, Bronchial Asthma and Healthy adolescents (without any chronic disease).
Methods:
All participants (n=97) had completed the Barrett (Bis 10) questionnaire.
Results:
The adolescents suffering from Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) scored the highest points 51.6; the control group without any chronic disease was second with 25.2 and the asthmatic adolescents were third with 23.4 points for their impulsivity.
Conclusion:
It should be made clear to the people that the child comes in contact with his impulsive behavior is uncontrollable, and there is no justification for being angry with him nor any punishment. Patience and education is the answer. These adolescent should be under professional care in order to help him define more acceptable ways and means of deportment according to the norms and standards of his society.

Antiasthma Drugs: β2-Adrenoceptor Agonists
One class of bronchodilators includes β2-adrenoceptor agonists. These agents target the β2-adrenoceptors located on bronchial smooth muscle cells. By stimulating these receptors, β2-agonists induce relaxation in these...
Adrenergic Agonists: Therapeutic Uses
Emergency and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) applications: Pressor agents increase blood pressure, heart rate, and contractility in shock and organ failure situations. Dopamine can induce vasodilation and stimulate adrenoceptors. Endogenous catecholamines are effective in treating cardiogenic shock. α2-agonists like clonidine can reverse anesthesia-induced hypertension.
