Ecological Momentary Assessment of emotional dysregulation and outbursts among youth with ADHD: a feasibility study of a biomarker-driven predictive algorithm in the special education pre-K and early childhood classroom settings

Singh, Ripudaman Zeeba; Panchal, Janav; Ali, Sami; Krone, Beth; Wert, Isaac J; Owens, Mark; Stein, Mark; Shah, Maulik V
BACKGROUND/UNASSIGNED:Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) among children younger than 6 years is quite impairing, nearly half these youth with ADHD experience school exclusion from mainstream preschool classes due to related emotional and behavioral outbursts. While a range of behavior rating scales and subjective measures are used to assess these youth, objective methods of assessment and prediction derived from technology have potential to improve therapeutic and academic interventions outcomes for these youths. We hypothesized that biometric sensors would provide objective, highly sensitive and specific information regarding the physiological status of children prior to an impulsive outburst and could be feasibly implemented using a wearable device in the special education classroom. METHODS/UNASSIGNED: = 5 youth from the first grade) of a specialized therapeutic day-school for youth with ADHD and other psychiatric and developmental disorders to examine feasibility of obtaining continuous physiological data associated with behavioral and emotional outbursts through smartwatch use. Children wore a sensor watch during their daily classroom activities for two weeks and trained observers collected data using behavioral logs. Using Ecological Momentary Assessment methodology, to examine correlations between objective sensor data and observer observation. Data collected from parents regarding prior night's sleep was also examined. RESULTS/UNASSIGNED:All participants completed the study. With a few tolerability or palatability issues. Associations were found between physiological and behavioral/questionnaire data. The methodology holds promise for reliably measuring behavioral and emotional outbursts in young children. CONCLUSIONS/UNASSIGNED:among severely dysregulated pre-school aged youth throughout a full school day. This study established the feasibility of utilizing sensor derived physiological data as an objective biomarker of ADHD within the special education therapeutic classroom. Further research with larger samples is required to build a more robust and personalized AI predictive model.

QuilliChew extended-release chewable tablets for the treatment of ADHD in patients ages 6 years old and above

Childress, Ann; Ponce De Leon, Bernice; Owens, Mark
INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND:(MPH-ERCT) is an ER methylphenidate designed to be chewed before swallowing. The technology and pharmacokinetics, along with efficacy and safety data, are presented. Expert opinion: Extensive safety and efficacy data exist for MPH. ER formulations can be distinguished by preparation (tablet, capsule, liquid) and onset and duration of effect, but efficacy is similar for all ER MPH products. Each formulation has attributes, such as ease of titration, portability, and taste, that make it more acceptable for certain patients. Because AMPH and MPH are so effective, current technology research is focused on improving safety, convenience, and onset and duration of effect.

Military issues

Ritchie, Elspeth Cameron; Owens, Mark
This article reviews of some of the lessons in trauma psychiatry learned by the US military through wartime and other trauma experiences during the past century. Current practice in the military's employment of stress control teams is reviewed. The military's efforts to prevent and limit psychological casualties, to include the care of battle casualties and prisoners of war (POWs), are addressed.Recent experiences that have informed further, and are shaping the military's approach to managing the psychological aftermath of trauma (such as the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the Pentagon and the current war with Iraq) are included. Guidelines developed after 9/11, and articulated in the 'Mass Violence and Early Intervention' conference are presented. Finally, current ideas on preparation for and intervention after weapons of mass destruction will be outlined

Allergic rhinitis in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Brawley, Ashley; Silverman, Bernard; Kearney, Shannon; Guanzon, Denise; Owens, Mark; Bennett, Harvey; Schneider, Arlene
BACKGROUND: Both allergic rhinitis and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are common pediatric conditions associated with learning difficulties and sleep disturbances. There are conflicting research data regarding the association between ADHD and atopic disorders. OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of allergic rhinitis in patients with physician-diagnosed ADHD. METHODS: Patients 5 to 18 years of age who presented with a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition diagnosis of ADHD to an outpatient pediatric psychiatry clinic were screened for allergic rhinitis with focused history, physical examination, and skin prick testing to common aeroallergens. RESULTS: Thirty patients were interviewed, with 23 of these undergoing physical examination and skin prick testing. Eighty percent reported allergic rhinitis symptoms, whereas 61% had at least 1 positive prick skin test result. Forty-three percent showed typical physical signs of allergic rhinitis, 100% had a positive atopic family history, and 53% had other associated atopic disorders. CONCLUSIONS: Most children with ADHD displayed symptoms and skin prick test results consistent with allergic rhinitis. Nasal obstruction and other symptoms of allergic rhinitis could explain some of the cognitive patterns observed in ADHD, which might result from sleep disturbance known to occur with allergic rhinitis. Therefore, evaluation and treatment of allergic rhinitis could benefit patients with ADHD
