Preliminary evidence suggests that ADHD may also be associated with eating disorders (ED) or eating pathology (EP). This systematic review synthesizes the extant published literature on this association among youth ages 12-21 years. Methods: Literature searches were performed using Medline, Ovid/Psych Info, Google Scholar, and via manual inspection of bibliographies. Cross-sectional, case-control, and prospective studies published in English with sample sizes larger than 50, participant ages 12-21 years, and assessed ADHD and ED or EP, were considered for review. Case reports, feeding, and drug studies were excluded. Results: Preliminary searches yielded 337 articles;eight articles met inclusion/exclusion criteria. Two studies documented an association between ADHD and ED, and three studies found an association between ADHD and EP. Youth with ADHD were nearly 3 to 6 times more likely to develop an ED than youth without ADHD, and were also more likely to have higher rates of EP, body dissatisfaction, and desire to lose weight/ drive for thinness. Impulsivity was predictive of EP, and ADHD youth with co-occurring mood/behavioral disorders and punitive parental relationships were at higher risk. Conclusions: Five of eight studies documented an association between ADHD and ED or EP in adolescents. Future research is needed to confirm and refine further these findings. The findings have clinical implications, including the inclusion of ED/EP in screening and anticipatory guidance efforts. Evaluating whether medical management of ADHD may be efficacious in preventing and/or treating ED/EP is also warranted.展开更多

As c...The fast aging human population requires new approaches to reliable diagnosis and proper treatment of dementia in elderly patients with psychiatric disorders such as bipolar disorder (BD) and schizophrenia (SCZ). As compared to other psychiatric disorders, BD and SCZ are characterized by increased and similar risk for dementia as well as cerebrovascular (CVD) and Parkinson’s (PD) diseases independent of the patient’s age. There are reports in the literature suggesting BD and SCZ in older patients could cause dementia without contribution from the neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), due to the absence of the known neuropathology associated with cognitive decline in such individuals. This view contradicts a plethora of data highlighting AD as a major cause of dementia in the elderly. This issue was addressed by examining postmortem cerebral pathology in an 83-year-old female diagnosed with BD, SCZ, and PD (D1) and comparing it to that of a second donor (D2), an age-matched male diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia (LBD). Upon thorough histochemical and immunohistochemical examinations of both brains, the PD and LBD diagnoses in D1 and D2 were not confirmed. Instead, AD-related pathology was observed in both subjects with AD advancing to its clinical stage (mild to moderate) only in D1. Diffuse β-amyloid peptide 1-42 (Aβ1-42) staining, most likely reflecting a presence of the Aβ1-42 soluble form, was also detected in cerebellar neurons and cerebellar extracellular space in D1 and D2. Cerebrovascular pathology was pronounced and distinct in both brains and included amyloid angiopathy, hyaline atherosclerosis, microbleeds, and dilated Virchow Robin spaces in D1 as well as thick-walled blood vessels with microbleeds in D2. It was concluded that a mixed AD and cerebrovascular pathology could mimic Lewy Body Disease and potentially contribute to dementia development in elderly BD and SCZ patients.展开更多

Here we present a case of pathologically confirmed vasculitis in a 73-year-old male patient whose postmortem examination revealed Lewy pathology diagnostic of PD. This case study suggests a comorbidity of cerebral vasculitis and Lewy pathology, as well as potential pathogenic interactions between these two disorders with immune-mediated mechanisms.展开更多

Neurologic disorders associated with IBD are not frequent, being reported in 3% of patients, but they often represent an important cause of morbidity and a relevant diagnostic issue. In addition, the increasing use of immunosuppressant and biological therapies for IBD may also play a pivotal role in the development of neurological disorders of different type and pathogenesis. Hence, we provide a complete and profound review of the main features of neurological complications associated with IBD, with particular reference to those related to drugs and with a specific focus on their clinical presentation and possible pathophysiological mechanisms.展开更多
