Integrating vocational supports into a transition clinic: A pilot program.

Objective: Pilot a clinical model and study to learn more about how employment impacts health in children and young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Background: As young individuals transition into adulthood, milestones such as independent living and gainful employment become paramount. However, for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), these milestones can diverge notably from those of typically developing peers.

Bariatric Surgery Is Highly Effective and Underutilized in Patients with ADHD: A 5-Year Retrospective Cohort Study.

Introduction: Obesity and ADHD have become increasingly common diagnoses. In the last decade, research has found that there is a high prevalence of obesity in patients with ADHD. The mainstays of management in the general population include lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapies, and/or bariatric surgery.

The heart of it all: Body dysmorphic disorder in cosmetic surgery.

Background: Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) represents a prevalent mental health condition characterized by distress arising from self-perceived physical imperfections. BDD serves as a contraindication to aesthetic surgery. Recognizing BDD holds paramount importance for plastic surgeons, as it is instrumental in averting the exacerbation of this condition while ensuring appropriate referrals.

Researching Eyesight Trends IN ADHD (RETINA).

Background: There has been limited exploration of the relationship between ADHD and vision impairment, especially in relation to ADHD medication regimens and age. This study aims to examine trends in visual disorders in young patients with ADHD.

Methods: We analyzed deidentified patient records from TriNetX database.

Co-occurring ASD Mediates Impact of ADHD on Atopic Dermatitis and Acne: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: ADHD and ASD are associated with dermatologic manifestations, yet little research investigates co-occurring ADHD/ASD and common dermatologic conditions.

Objective: To investigate associations between ADHD, ASD, acne vulgaris, and atopic dermatitis.

Methods: Using de-identified patient records from the TriNetX database, we created four cohorts on ADHD diagnosis, ASD diagnosis, both, neither.

Patient Outcomes following Septoplasty in Patients with Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

Recent research has indicated that daytime manifestations of sleep-disordered breathing, frequently caused by deviated septum, can mimic many characteristic symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and could indicate intermittent hypoxia or hypercarbia as factors in the development of ADHD. To investigate the differences in outcomes following septoplasty between patients with ADHD and deviated septum, we used a retrospective cohort design to compare outcomes in patients diagnosed with deviated septa between June 1, 2002 and June 1, 2022. We then separated these patients into four total groups based on the presence or absence of ADHD diagnosis and the presence or absence of septoplasty.

Delirium Following Anticholinergic Use in Hospitalized Patients With Dementia.

We sought to explore rates of delirium amongst hospitalized patients with dementia following orders for anticholinergic medications. We hypothesized that patients receiving anticholinergic medications would have higher rates of delirium than similar, unexposed patients. We performed a retrospective chart review of 23 031 hospitalized individuals with Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, or unspecified dementia from 2011-2018.

Supporting the future of medicine: Student mental health services in medical school.

Background: Mental health issues are common among United States medical students, and the AAMC has established recommendations for student mental health services provided by medical schools. Few studies directly compare mental health services at medical schools across the United States and, to our knowledge, none analyze how well schools adhere to the established AAMC recommendations.

Objective: To determine whether mental health services at United States medical schools adhere to established guidelines.

Fracture rates by medication type in attention-deficit/hyperactive disorder.

Background: ADHD is a condition with extensively researched increased risks of psychiatric disorders, traumatic injury, impulsivity, and delayed response times.

Objectives: To analyze the incidences of fractures in patients with ADHD on various medication regimens.

Methods: Using the TriNetX database, we created seven patient cohorts, all of age under 25, based on medication types commonly used for ADHD.

Baseball injuries in adolescent athletes with ADHD.

At the intersection of injury-prone sports such as baseball and conditions like ADHD that affect all aspects of life, there is a lack of research. This limits the availability of preventive care programs designed to target potential risks and promote a safe experience. In this retrospective cohort study, we assess the frequency of injury in youth baseball players with and without ADHD, along with further investigation into how treatment with stimulant medication may modify risk factors.

Obstetric complications in mothers with ADHD.

Background: There is currently limited research on the intersection of pregnancy and ADHD and the unique pregnancy risk factors for mothers with an ADHD diagnosis. With an increased population of patients with ADHD in the recent decades and an increase in ADHD medication use during pregnancy it is important to consider what unique risks mothers with ADHD face during the perinatal period.

Objective: Investigate a variety of outcomes in maternal ADHD.

Under-Documented or Under-Recognized? Comorbid ADHD in Emergency Department Patients With Addictive Disorders.

Objectives: We sought to examine rates of comorbid ADHD and SUD/AUD using a nationally representative dataset, and to compare this data with established estimates. We hoped to increase available research on ADHD within patients with SUD/AUD.

Methods: This study is a retrospective secondary analysis of cross-sectional data collected in the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS).

Patient Characteristics in Oral Cancer Staging.

Background: Oral cancer is a largely preventable malignancy with many modifiable risk factors, such as tobacco use and proper oral hygiene. Early detection of oral cancer is an important goal for oral healthcare providers, as survival rates for oral cancers diagnosed at an advanced stage are less than half the rates for cancers diagnosed in early stages. As many patients are asymptomatic in early stages, it is crucial for oral healthcare providers to have a high index of suspicion while treating patients at risk for late diagnosis.
