Summary
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is highly prevalent in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patients. Early diagnosis and treatment show good adherence and positive outcomes in this population.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Neurology
- Genetics
- Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Background:
- Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is associated with a significant predisposition to attention-deficit disorders.
- Understanding the prevalence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in NF1 patients is crucial for timely intervention.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the prevalence of ADHD diagnosis in pediatric patients with NF1.
- To assess patient adherence and medical treatment outcomes for ADHD in NF1.
- To highlight the importance of early diagnosis and treatment for ADHD in NF1.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective identification of NF1 patients diagnosed with ADHD.
- Data collection included clinical information and treatment details.
- Study period: December 31, 2015, to June 31, 2017.
Main Results:
- 23 out of 56 (41%) enrolled NF1 patients were diagnosed with ADHD.
- The mean age at ADHD diagnosis was 7.53 ± 2.46 years.
- 86% of patients receiving treatment continued, with moderate to positive reported effects.
Conclusions:
- The prevalence of ADHD in NF1 patients is notably high.
- Early ADHD diagnosis and treatment in NF1 patients are essential.
- Most NF1 patients exhibit good adherence and positive outcomes with medical treatment for ADHD.

978
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....

The pleura is a vital part of the respiratory system. It's a double-layered membrane surrounding the lungs and lining the chest cavity. The two layers of the pleura are:

02:18Intrinsically Disordered Proteins
19.4K
Intrinsically disordered proteins are a group of proteins that do not fold into specific three-dimensional structures. Their structural flexibility allows them to complement ordered proteins to perform functions that are inaccessible to rigid structures. They are more common in eukaryotes than prokaryotes and may either be exclusively intrinsically disordered or hybrid proteins, consisting of a mix of ordered and disordered regions. The absence of a rigid structure in these proteins can be...

01:12What is an Experiment?
18.1K
An experiment is a planned activity carried out under controlled conditions. The purpose of an experiment is to investigate the relationship between two variables. When one variable causes change in another, we call the first variable the explanatory or independent variable. The affected variable is called the response or dependent variable. In a randomized experiment, the researcher manipulates values of the explanatory variable and measures the resulting changes in the response variable. The...

01:10Electrical Current
7.2K
Electrical current is defined as the rate at which charge flows. When there is a large current present, such as that used to run a refrigerator, a large amount of charge moves through the wire in a small amount of time. If the current is small, such as that used to operate a handheld calculator, a small amount of charge moves through the circuit over a long period of time. The SI unit for current is the ampere (A), named for the French physicist André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836).

6.8K
In a beam of charged particles created by a heated cathode, the particles move at different speeds. However, many applications need a beam with uniform particle speeds. An arrangement known as a velocity selector uses electric and magnetic fields to pick particles with a particular speed from the beam.
A particle with charge q, speed v, and mass m enters an area from the top, where the magnetic and electric fields are perpendicular both to the particle's motion and to one another. The magnetic...
