[Feasibility of a screening instrument for adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ASRS-5) in general practice: A qualitative study].

Objectives: The aim of the study was to explore the subjective views of general practitioners on the applicability of the Adult ADHD Self-Report Screening Scale for DSM-5 (ASRS-5) as a screening tool for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults in general practice.

Method: Eleven general practitioners, who had participated in the validation study of the German version of the ASRS-5, were interviewed. For this purpose, a semi-structured interview guide was designed using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR).

Evaluation of the German Version of the Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Self-Report Screening Scale for DSM-5 as a Screening Tool for Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Primary Care.

Adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is common, but often undiagnosed. A valid and time-efficient screening tool for primary care is needed. Objective of this study is to evaluate the German version of the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale for DSM-5 (ASRS-5) and its feasibility, acceptability, and reliability as a screening tool for adult ADHD in primary care.

Mutations in Pituitary Cushing Adenomas-Targeted Analysis by Next-Generation Sequencing.

Gain-of-function somatic mutations in the ubiquitin specific protease 8 () gene have recently been reported as a cause of pituitary adenomas in Cushing disease. Molecular diagnostic testing of tumor tissue may aid in the diagnosis of specimens obtained through therapeutic transsphenoidal surgery; however, for small tumors, availability of fresh tissue is limited, and contamination with normal tissue is frequent. We performed molecular testing of DNA isolated from single formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections of 42 pituitary adenomas from patients with Cushing disease (27 female patients and 15 male patients; mean age at surgery, 42.
