The Promise of Electroencephalography for Advancing Diagnosis and Treatment in Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and intellectual disability (ID), commonly emerge during early development and impact functioning across cognitive, social-emotional, communication, and sensorimotor domains.

Cannabis-induced attenuated psychotic symptoms: implications for prognosis in young people at ultra-high risk for psychosis

This study examined UHR transition risk as a function of cannabis use characteristics which vary largely between people, due to a variety of factors.

Early presentation of Rett syndrome, including regression and challenges for families seeking a diagnosis

Research

Expanding the clinical picture of the MECP2 Duplication syndrome

People with two or more copies of MECP2 gene, located at Xq28, share clinical features and a distinct facial phenotype called MECP2 Duplication syndrome.

Identification of genes differentially regulated by vitamin D deficiency that alter lung pathophysiology and inflammation in allergic airways disease

Vitamin D deficiency exacerbates house dust mite-induced inflammation and alterations in lung structure and function

Research

Vitamin D and allergic airway disease shape the murine lung microbiome in a sex-specific manner

Maintaining sufficient vitamin D is necessary for optimal lung health, and vitamin D may modulate the lung microbiome in a sex-specific fashion

Reduced transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) in the repair of airway epithelial cells of children with asthma

Evidence into the role of TGF-β1 in airway epithelial repair in asthma is still controversial. This study tested the hypothesis that the reduced TGF-β1 levels previously observed in paediatric asthmatic airway epithelial cells directly contribute to the dysregulated repair seen in these cells.
