Long-term Depression01:05

Long-term Depression

33.2K
Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Inhaled Medications

769
Inhaled medications are crucial for managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. They are essential for effective treatment and control, ensuring optimal respiratory health and well-being. Inhaled medication delivers drugs directly to the lungs, providing a rapid onset of action and reducing systemic side effects compared to oral or injectable medications. Three primary types of inhalation devices are used to administer these medications: nebulizers, metered-dose inhalers...

Directional Terms01:14

Directional Terms

16.1K
Directional terms are essential for describing the relative locations of different body structures. For instance, an anatomist might describe one band of tissue as "inferior to" another, or a physician might describe a tumor as "superficial to" a deeper body structure. These terms often use comparative terms in pairs to trace out the relative locations of one body part to another or descriptions of body tissues like the deeper ones from superficially present with reference to...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is recognized for its persistence into adulthood.
  • Effective pharmacological treatments, including stimulants, are available for ADHD.
  • Despite treatment availability, adherence and long-term efficacy remain significant concerns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the persistence of ADHD into adult life.
  • To examine the efficacy and adherence challenges of ADHD medications in adults.
  • To discuss implications for clinical practice and continuing care.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature, including short-term clinical trials, pharmacoepidemiology studies, and neuropharmacology research.
  • Analysis of longitudinal data, though scarce, to understand long-term prognosis.
  • Discussion of clinical practice implications based on current evidence.

Main Results:

  • Short-term trials confirm stimulant efficacy in adults with ADHD.
  • Pharmacoepidemiology data indicate high discontinuation rates during adolescence.
  • Neuropharmacology suggests potential waning of stimulant effects over time; prognosis may depend on factors beyond core ADHD symptoms.

Conclusions:

  • ADHD persistence into adulthood is a significant clinical issue.
  • Adolescent medication discontinuation poses a challenge to sustained treatment.
  • Enhanced continuing care and long-term follow-up strategies are crucial for improving adult ADHD outcomes.
