Autism Spectrum Disorder01:19

Autism Spectrum Disorder

100
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

68
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....

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric pathology
  • Medical genetics
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Sudden unexplained death in childhood (SUIDC) affects children over 1 year old.
  • Despite thorough assessment, the cause of death often remains undetermined.
  • SUIDC is increasingly viewed as a medical event, not an accident.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of comprehensive postmortem investigations in SUIDC.
  • To review emerging evidence pointing to heterogeneous underlying causes of SUIDC.
  • To underscore the role of genetics, neurology, and neuropathology in understanding SUIDC.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current research in SUIDC.
  • Analysis of findings from genetics, neurology, and neuropathology.
  • Emphasis on thorough postmortem investigation protocols.

Main Results:

  • SUIDC encompasses a range of conditions with varied, often unexplained, causes.
  • Genetics, neurology, and neuropathology reveal shared features with known diseases in some SUIDC cases.
  • A significant proportion of SUIDC cases remain unexplained even after comprehensive evaluation.

Conclusions:

  • SUIDC necessitates a sentinel medical event approach.
  • Advanced investigations in genetics, neurology, and neuropathology are crucial for identifying underlying causes.
  • Further research is vital to unravel the complex etiologies of SUIDC.
