Background: Impairment in social cognition, particularly eye gaze processing, is a shared feature common to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia. However, it is unclear if a convergent neural mechanism also underlies gaze dysfunction in these conditions. The present study examined whether this shared eye gaze phenotype is reflected in a profile of convergent neurobiological dysfunction in ASD and schizophrenia.

Method: Four databases (MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE, and PubMed) were screened until January 2023. Risk of bias of included results was judged with the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2).
There is mixed evidence on the link between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and diabetes. We conducted the first systematic review/meta-analysis on their association. Based on a pre-registered protocol (PROSPERO: CRD42021261114), we searched Pubmed, Ovid, and Web of Science databases up to 6 December 2021, with no language/type of document restrictions.

- This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the effectiveness of various ADHD screening tools for children and adolescents, focusing on their diagnostic accuracy across different settings and reporters.
- A total of 75 studies were analyzed, covering 41 screening tools, with pooled results showing a moderate overall diagnostic accuracy (AUC of 0.82), but significant variation depending on the reporter and population sampled.
- Despite showing good overall accuracy, no single screening tool met the ideal standards for sensitivity and specificity, suggesting that relying on just one measure may not be reliable for clinical or population-wide screenings.
