Article Abstract

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that typically presents in childhood and can cause significant impairment from youth into adulthood across multiple settings (eg, school, home). Pediatricians are the most likely health professionals to identify and treat ADHD. However, ADHD symptoms often overlap with other common mental health disorders, making accurate identification challenging. The diagnosis of ADHD relies on a combination of history gathering, screening tools, and clinical judgment. In this article, we review tools and strategies for ADHD identification, assessment, and treatment monitoring in primary care pediatrics. .

ADHD and ASD are Normal Biological Variations as part of Human Evolution and are not "Disorders".

Clin Neuropsychiatry

December 2024

Dr Annie Swanepoel, Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, NELFT, UK.

Recent developments driven by people with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and/or autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have highlighted that far from being disorders, ADHD and/or ASD can be seen as natural variations in neurodevelopment. The neurodiversity movement acknowledges that people with ADHD and/or ASD have specific strengths, that can help them outperform neurotypical individuals in certain situations and that these conditions should therefore not be seen as disorders. This view is supported by evolutionary science, which can be used as a framework to understand ADHD and/or ASD as natural variations that were not eliminated by natural selection due to their benefit to the individual and group in certain situations.

Breed differences in olfactory performance of dogs.

Sci Rep

January 2025

HUN-REN-ELTE Comparative Ethology Research Group, Budapest, Hungary.

Most studies on dogs' olfactory performance focused only on some individuals pre-trained for a task or on specially selected/trained detection dogs. Here, using the Natural Detection Task (NDT) that does not require training, we assessed the effect of several potential factors on the performance of a large sample of dogs (N = 527/tested, 484/analysed). Olfactory success was associated with breeds, but breed groups (selected for olfaction, cooperation, or both) were proven non-relevant, suggesting that breed-specific traits are more influential than functional breed group characteristics.

Introduction: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is a chronic disorder that begins in childhood and often persists into adulthood. There are clinical observations of a cycle-dependent efficacy of psychostimulants in the treatment of ADHD. This relationship appears to be poorly researched.
