Article Synopsis
- The study focused on how transitioning pediatric liver transplant (LT) patients to adult health care impacts their medical outcomes, adherence to treatment, and healthcare usage.* -
- Analysis of 32 patients showed that after transferring care, there was a notable drop in appointment adherence and an indication of worsening health indicators, coupled with rising healthcare costs.* -
- The findings suggest that the transition period is critical for pediatric LT recipients, highlighting the need for more extensive studies to improve the process and outcomes during this vulnerable phase.*

Objective: The aim of this study was to conduct a pilot study testing whether single-dose, immediate-release dexmethylphenidate (dMPH) can facilitate tic suppression in children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and Tourette's disorder (TD) or chronic tic disorders. The primary hypothesis is that dMPH will improve behaviorally reinforced tic suppression in a standard tic suppression paradigm (TSP).
Methods: Ten children with ADHD and TD were given dMPH on one visit and no medication on another, using a random crossover design.
