Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) presents with symptoms like impulsiveness, inattention, and hyperactivity, often affecting children's academic and social functioning. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as digital cognitive therapy, are emerging as complementary treatments for ADHD. The randomized controlled trial explored the impact of an AI-driven digital cognitive program on impulsiveness, inattentiveness, and neurophysiological markers in 41 children aged 8-12 with ADHD.

Lysosomal acid lipase deficiency (LAL-D) is an ultra-rare lysosomal storage disease with two distinct phenotypes, an infantile-onset form (formerly Wolman disease) and a later-onset form (formerly cholesteryl ester storage disease). The objective of this narrative review is to examine the most important aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of LAL-D and to provide practical expert recommendations. The infantile-onset form occurs in the first weeks of life and is characterized by malnourishment and failure to thrive due to gastrointestinal impairment (vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption), as well as systemic inflammation, hepatosplenomegaly, and adrenal calcifications.

Article Synopsis
  • GLP1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) are medications that mimic the incretin hormone GLP1, first used for diabetes in 2005 and for obesity in 2014.
  • Recent studies suggest that GLP1-RAs may also help slow kidney disease progression, leading to the Flow study, which examined semaglutide's effects.
  • The Flow study confirmed semaglutide's benefits on kidney health, but the exact mechanisms of how GLP1-RAs affect renal function remain unclear, necessitating further research.

Article Synopsis
  • Emotion Regulation Therapy (ERT) focuses on improving attention and metacognitive skills to help people with distress disorders who struggle with negative thinking.
  • In a study with 72 patients, researchers compared the effectiveness of an 8-session (ERT8) and a 16-session (ERT16) ERT program, measuring improvements in symptoms, functioning, and treatment mechanisms before, during, and after therapy.
  • Results indicated that both treatments were effective, but the 16-session version (ERT16) led to greater reductions in negative thinking and distress, with treatment mechanisms playing a key role in the improvements.*
