Ecological momentary assessment is an excellent tool for the measurement of different day-to-day domains in patients and capturing real-world and real-time data. The purpose of this review is to evaluate feasibility in current ecological momentary assessment studies on emotional and behavioral functioning, functional impairments, and quality of life patients with an attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder diagnosis. This systematic review follows the recommendation of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines selecting articles published from January 1, 1990, up to the latest access on May 2018, identifying a pool of 23 eligible studies.

Recent Findings: EMA is increasingly used to collect participant's information in their real environment and in real time. There are multiple studies focused on the evaluation of mood disorders in children and adolescents, but only a few of them used EMA protocols.
Background: One of the major challenges in mental medical care is finding out new instruments for an accurate and objective evaluation of the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Early ADHD identification, severity assessment, and prompt treatment are essential to avoid the negative effects associated with this mental condition.
Objective: The aim of our study was to develop a novel ADHD assessment instrument based on Microsoft Kinect, which identifies ADHD cardinal symptoms in order to provide a more accurate evaluation.
Introduction: Pharmacotherapy for the management of obesity is primarily aimed at weight loss, weight loss maintenance and risk reduction (reduction in body fat, risk factors for cardiovascular disease and the incidence of diabetes mellitus). Among drugs that have been evaluated for weight loss include antidepressants (fluoxetine) and antiepileptic (topiramate).
Material And Methods: We analyzed eating behavior and weight loss in a sample of morbid obesity patients before bariatric surgery.
Introduction: The Importance of the cardiovascular effects, fundamentally the ventricular arrhythmias, produced by the antipsychotic ones, is discussed.
Clinical Case: 28 year old patient with morbid obesity, operated by bariatric surgery, with good result, suffers a ventricular no supported polymorphic tachycardia while he was heightening treatment with aripiprazole and fluoxetine.
Conclusions: To value the influence of diverse factors for the production of ventricular arrhythmias emphasizing fundamentally the interactions of aripiprazole and the loss of weight.
