Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

1.1K
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Cognitive Development During Adolescence

719
During adolescence, individuals experience significant cognitive development that enhances their understanding of others' emotions and thoughts, known as cognitive empathy. This period is marked by an increased ability to adapt to others' perspectives and a more nuanced understanding of others' mental states, a skill that is foundational for social problem-solving and conflict avoidance. The development of cognitive empathy relies heavily on the theory of mind — the...

Adrenal Gland Disorders01:27

Adrenal Gland Disorders

3.6K
Adrenal gland disorders manifest when the production of adrenal hormones deviates from the norm, resulting in either excessive or insufficient concentrations.
Adrenal insufficiency, characterized by insufficient cortisol and aldosterone production, leads to conditions like Addison's disease. This disorder, affecting the adrenal cortex, exhibits symptoms such as skin bronzing, dehydration, low blood pressure, fatigue, and weight loss. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a genetic ailment causing...

Stress and Mental Health

1.0K
Chronic stress profoundly affects mental health, significantly influencing mood, behavior, and overall quality of life. Research closely links chronic stress with mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Ongoing exposure to stress can lead to physiological and psychological changes, initiating a cycle of emotional distress and maladaptive coping mechanisms.
Individuals with depression often experience challenges in both their personal and professional...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Endocrinology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Nervous system health problems are increasing in infants, contributing to high mortality rates.
  • Chronic medical conditions (CC) affect 10-20% of the pediatric population.
  • Type 1 diabetes mellitus is identified as the most prevalent CC in young infants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review pre-clinical and clinical trials on chronic conditions in pediatric patients.
  • To identify common CCs and their impact on infant health.
  • To understand factors influencing treatment adherence and health risks.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic search of the PubMed electronic database.
  • Inclusion of pre-clinical and clinical controlled trials.
  • Focus on pediatric patients with variable chronic conditions.

Main Results:

  • Type 1 diabetes mellitus is the most common chronic condition in young infants.
  • Metabolic control is frequently disrupted in female patients with CCs.
  • Poor metabolism regulation can lead to long-term complications, including cognitive disorders such as memory loss and learning problems.
  • Executive dysfunction is linked to reduced physical activity.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding factors influencing treatment adherence is critical for managing chronically ill infants.
  • Focusing on protective factors is essential for preventing health risk behaviors.
  • Early intervention and management of CCs can mitigate long-term cognitive and health consequences.
