Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) begins in childhood and in many cases persists into adulthood. The transition from adolescence to adulthood for young people with ADHD is a vulnerable time and can be associated with comorbid conditions and unfavorable outcomes. Thus, further studies are needed to explore the characteristics of the transition period in emerging adulthood.

We examined the prevalence and distribution of chronic pain in adolescents and young adults with ADHD using 9-years longitudinal data (from T1:2009-2011 to T3:2018-2019) with three time points from a clinical health survey compared to two age-matched reference population-based samples. Mixed-effect logistic regression and binary linear regression were used to estimate the probability for chronic and multisite pain at each time point and to compare the prevalence of chronic pain with the reference populations.

This study aimed to investigate whether preterm born infants are particularly vulnerable to relative age effects on mental health, not previously studied.
Methods: We used registry data on all Norwegians born between 1989 and 1998 to compare prescription status for psychostimulants, antidepressants, hypnotics, anxiolytics, and antipsychotics per year from age 10 to 23 years (2004-2016) between exposure groups with different time of birth in the year (relative age) and different gestational age (preterm versus term).
While radiography is routinely used to probe complex, evolving density fields in research areas ranging from materials science to shock physics to inertial confinement fusion and other national security applications, complications resulting from noise, scatter, complex beam dynamics, etc. prevent current methods of reconstructing density from being accurate enough to identify the underlying physics with sufficient confidence. In this work, we show that using only features that are robustly identifiable in radiographs and combining them with the underlying hydrodynamic equations of motion using a machine learning approach of a conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN) provides a new and effective approach to determine density fields from a dynamic sequence of radiographs.
