Attention-Deficit Disorders and Epilepsy in Childhood: Incidence, Causative Relations and Treatment Possibilities. Rami Kaufmann, MD Hadassa Goldberg-Stern, MD Avinoam Shuper, MD At least 20% of children with epilepsy have clinical attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) compared to 3% to 7% of the general pediatric population.

Attention-Deficit Disorders and Epilepsy in Childhood: Incidence, Causative Relations and Treatment Possibilities

Several mechanisms may account for the high prevalence, such as a common genetic propensity, noradrenergic system dysregulation, subclinical epileptiform discharges, or even seizures, antiepileptic drug effects, and psychosocial factors. At the same time, children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder have a higher than normal rate of electroencephalography abnormalities (5.6-30.1% vs. 3.5%).

Bullying Experiences among Disabled Children and Young People in England. Abstract Bullying among school-aged children and adolescents is recognised as an important social problem, and the adverse consequences for victims are well established.

Doubly Disadvantaged? Bullying Experiences among Disabled Children and Young People in England

However, despite growing interest in the socio-demographic profile of victims, there is limited evidence on the relationship between bullying victimisation and childhood disability. This article enhances our understanding of bullying experiences among disabled children in both early and later childhood, drawing on nationally representative longitudinal data from the Millennium Cohort Study and the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England. We model the association of disability measured in two different ways with the probability of being bullied at ages seven and 15, controlling for a wide range of known risk factors that vary with childhood disability.

Evidence-based guidelines for treating bipolar disorder: revised second edition—recommendations from the British Association for Psychopharmacology. GM Goodwin Consensus Group of the British Association for Psychopharmacology Abstract The British Association for Psychopharmacology guidelines specify the scope and target of treatment for bipolar disorder.

The second version, like the first, is based explicitly on the available evidence and presented, like previous Clinical Practice guidelines, as recommendations to aid clinical decision making for practitioners: they may also serve as a source of information for patients and carers. The recommendations are presented together with a more detailed but selective qualitative review of the available evidence.

Growing Up with Dyslexia. Interviews with Teenagers and Young Adults Abstract Interviews with 75 teenagers and young adults were performed to investigate how young people with dyslexia experienced school in terms of well-being, educational achievement, self-esteem, peer relations and belief in their future.

Growing Up with Dyslexia

Results from earlier studies suggest that secondary emotional problems are common. The first six grades in school were experienced by the interviewees as full of distress and failure for a majority. Though peer relations were often good, many had experienced bullying. Imaging Brain Development: Benefiting from Individual VariabilityS.

Pathological demand avoidance: Exploring the behavioural profile

Email: elizabeth.onions@kcl.ac.uk Abstract ‘Pathological Demand Avoidance’ is a term increasingly used by practitioners in the United Kingdom. It was coined to describe a profile of obsessive resistance to everyday demands and requests, with a tendency to resort to ‘socially manipulative’ behaviour, including outrageous or embarrassing acts. Pathological demand avoidance: Exploring the behavioural profile pdf. Phonology and Access to Chinese Character Meaning. Lingyue Kong⇑ John Xuexin Zhang Address correspondence to Lingyue Kong, International College for Chinese Language Studies, Peking University, China or e-mail (lingyue@pku.edu.cn) One of the central concerns in theories of reading skills is the role of phonology in access to word meaning.

Phonology and Access to Chinese Character Meaning

The present study focused on this issue in Chinese to examine the extent to which phonology affects Chinese character recognition. Two naming experiments were conducted with a phonologically mediated semantic priming paradigm, and the relative frequencies of semantic associates of the targets and their homophones were manipulated systematically. Analyses showed that a semantic associate produced robust priming on target naming at 57- and 250-msec. stimulus onset asynchronies, but only the low frequency homophones of high frequency semantic associates facilitated target naming at a 250-msec. stimulus onset asynchrony.
