This study used exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses to examine the structures of scores from the Conners' Teacher and Parent Rating Scales-Revised (CTRS-R and CPRS-R, respectively; Conners, 1997). The scales were administered to 1,835 parents and 1,387 teachers of children in Nepal's Sarlahi district - a region where no other measures of child psychopathology have been studied. With a Nepali sample, the findings indicate that reduced two factor models for the Conners' scales are superior to the models identified in the scale development research. The hyperactivity and inattention factors were comparable to what has been identified in prior research, while other factors (e.g., social problems) differed substantially. Implications for use of the Conners' scales in Nepal and cross cultural issues in the assessment of ADHD symptoms are discussed.

Background: Children with self-limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes often face language impairments and central auditory processing difficulties. The correlations between these issues, seizure timing, and neuropsychiatric challenges are not fully understood. This study delves into the connections between language impairments and central auditory processing difficulties in cases with self-limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes, examining their links with seizure occurrence and neuropsychiatric function.

Objective: To explore whether the motor developmental level is associated with the attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms severity reported by parents in preschool children.
Methods: Preschool children aged 4-6 years old with the chief complaint of reported inattention or hyperactivity by kindergarten teachers or parents were recruited in this study. All participants were consulted by at least one experienced developmental behavior pediatrician, according to DSM-V diagnostic criteria of ADHD.

Article Synopsis
- * The study involved 60 university students and looked at how different ADHD traits affected their ability to control responses on a visual task while considering their levels of anxiety.
- * Results indicated that trait anxiety influences how ADHD traits, particularly hyperactivity-impulsivity, impact inhibitory control, specifically when tasks require response inhibition.
Article Synopsis
- ADHD symptoms can continue into adulthood, affecting areas like executive function, emotional regulation, and motivation, yet there's limited research on effective treatment options such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Japan.
- This study aims to evaluate a new, culturally-adapted CBT program for adult ADHD patients in Japan, involving 12 participants in an open, multicenter format over a period of 24-28 weeks.
- The main focus will be on assessing the feasibility of this CBT program through dropout rates and clinical severity score changes, while also examining long-term treatment effects and related factors like depression and quality of life.
