The health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of survivors of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is presently unknown. Literature prior to 2015 suggests that CDH survivors have worse HRQoL compared with the general population. However, due to changes in the diagnosis, management, and follow-up of CDH patients, this may no longer be true. Read More

Evolutionary perspective is critical for understanding human biology, human medicine, and the traits that make human beings unique. One of the crucial characteristics that sets humans apart from other extant species is our cognitive ability, which allows for complex processes including symbolic thought, theory of mind, and syntactical-grammatical language, and is thought to arise from the expansion and specialization of the human nervous system. It has been hypothesized that the same evolutionary changes that allowed us to develop these valuable skills made humans susceptible to neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disease. Read More

Previous studies have reported associations between the serotonin transporter 5-HTTLPR genotype and antisocial and aggressive traits and between child maltreatment and antisocial traits. However, few studies have examined whether 5-HTTLPR moderates the influence of childhood maltreatment on callous and unemotional traits, a hallmark of psychopathy. Using a prospective cohort design, children with documented cases of maltreatment and matched controls were followed up and interviewed in adulthood. Read More

Episodic memory allows humans to retrieve and distinguish specific memories. The formation of item-context bindings, whereby the to-be-recalled items are tied to aspects of the encoding context, is important to the effective operation of episodic memory. The self-reference effect refers to the memory advantage for items encoded in relation to the self versus another. Read More

Individual differences in grit and growth mindset predict effort and achievement in the face of challenges, but little is known about how the two traits influence each other during adolescence. In the current investigation, we analyzed data on grit and growth mindset collected from 1667 adolescents and their teachers on four occasions over 2 academic years. In autoregressive cross-lagged models, grit predicted rank-order increases in growth mindset and growth mindset predicted rank-order increases in grit. Read More

This narrative review, emphasizing children and adolescents, addresses the link between five psychiatric disorders and cardiovascular risk: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, and bipolar disorders. The evidence regarding cardiovascular risk factors, non-invasive measures of early atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular disease prevalence and/or mortality is summarized. Whereas multiple studies have examined stimulant treatment of ADHD in relation to cardiovascular death, and autonomic-vagal function in autism spectrum disorders, little is known regarding atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in these conditions.

Oral antidyslipidaemic drug pemafibrate is cleared from human plasma via hepatic uptake by organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1 and oxidation by cytochromes P450 (P450) 2C8, 2C9, and 3A4. The pharmacokinetic profiles of pemafibrate with virtual administrations of P450 inhibitors and/or disease interactions were generated using a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model previously established for co-administration of pemafibrate with OATP1B1 inhibitors.This PBPK model was validated in the current study using reported maximum pemafibrate plasma concentrations and areas under the curve from interaction studies in healthy subjects co-administered with clopidogrel (P450 2C8 inhibitor), fluconazole (P450 2C9/3A4 inhibitor), or clarithromycin (P450 3A4 inhibitor).

Background: Several studies have reported anxiety disorders in children with high intellectual potential (HIP). However, there are discrepant results possibly as a result of methodological biases (different/absent definitions of HIP, small sample sizes, non-validated/adapted/specific tools for assessing anxiety and a single observational source).

Aims: To examine more thoroughly the relationships between HIP and anxiety in large samples of children using clear definitions of HIP, different observational sources and specific assessments of anxiety. Read More
