Quantitative Identification of ADHD Tendency in Children With Immersive Fingertip Force Control Tasks.
IEEE Trans Neural Syst Rehabil Eng
November 2023
Article Synopsis
- ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental disorder in children, with traditional diagnosis methods being subjective and prompting the need for more objective, quantifiable approaches.
- The study introduces a novel method for identifying ADHD through fingertip pressing force control, using immersive visual feedback to analyze behavioral features related to reaction time and force fluctuations.
- The method demonstrated effectiveness by distinguishing between ADHD and typically developed children with a 78.5% accuracy, revealing a link between attention levels and specific features of force control.
Automatic sensory change processing in adults with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder: a visual mismatch negativity study.
Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci
October 2024
In addition to higher-order executive functions, underlying sensory processing ability is also thought to play an important role in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD). An event-related potential feature, the mismatch negativity, reflects the ability of automatic sensory change processing and may be correlated with AD/HD symptoms and executive functions. This study aims to investigate the characteristics of visual mismatch negativity (vMMN) in adults with AD/HD.

Method: Amplitude of low frequency fluctuations (ALFF), regional homogeneity (ReHo), and seed-based FC were analyzed in 53 ADHD and 52 healthy controls. The "brain-cognition-behavior" relationship was further explored using mediation analysis.
Background: As the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders fifth version (DSM-5) was published, the Kiddie-Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia-Present and Lifetime version (K-SADS-PL) was modified to adapt the new version (K-SADS-PL DSM-5). We translated it to Chinese (K-SADS-PL-C DSM-5) and described its reliability and validity.
Methods: A total of 154 groups of 6 to 18-year-old children and their guardians were included.
Background And Purpose: Clarification of propagation patterns in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is challenging, but understanding these has implications for individual prognostication and clinical trial design. However, systematic knowledge in this area is lacking. The aim of this study was to characterize the spatial and temporal features of propagation patterns in ALS, and to evaluate the association between propagation patterns and survival.

Methods: EQ-5D-5L health state profiles were converted into a single aggregated "health utility" score. A calibrated visual analog scale (EQ VAS) was used for self-rating of current health status.
