Eating disorders: is there a correlation between severity of physical compromise and admission outcomes?
CONCLUSION: Increasing numbers of patients are presenting with eating disorders. Physical compromise was not a predictor for admission outcomes, but this could be further explored in larger studies.PMID:38639753 | DOI:10.12968/bjon.2024.33.8.S10 (Source: British Journal of Nursing)

Changes in Caregiver Outcomes After Participation in the Engaged Eaters Program: A Caregiver-Mediated Feeding Intervention for Autistic Children and Their Families
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The results emphasize the importance of considering baseline practices, efficacy, and caregiver confidence when engaging caregivers in intervention. Future research should explore the nuanced relationship between caregiver outcomes and child characteristics. Plain-Language Summary: Caregivers are essential partners with feeding interventions that build on family routines and practices. When working with caregivers, occupational therapists should consider caregivers' readiness for and responses to an intervention because intervention practices may differentially affect caregivers' parenting practi...

Type of Prenatal Antiseizure Drug Matters for Children ’s Autism Risk
Children born to people who received valproate, an antiseizure medication, during pregnancy had about a 2.7 times higher chance of being diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder by age 8 years than those born to people who were not treated with antiseizure medications prenatally, according to results from about 4.3 million US pregnancies and 4.2 million children. However, in utero exposure to topiramate and lamotrigine —other common antiseizure therapies—was not tied to autism risk after adjusting for the pregnant parent’s epilepsy.

Motor proficiency of persons with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or autism spectrum disorder diagnosed in adulthood
CONCLUSIONS: Motor proficiency is impaired in most persons with ADHD or ASD diagnosed in adulthood, suggesting that motor assessment should be included in clinical examinations of adults with suspected neurodevelopment disorders.PMID:38632964 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2340123 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Assessing Frontal Lobe Function on Verbal Fluency and Emotion Recall in Autism Spectrum Disorder by fNIRS
This study applied the functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to investigate frontal activity in autism when performing verbal fluency test and emotion recall task. We recruited 32 autistic adults without intellectual disability and 30 typically-developing controls (TDC). Prefrontal hemodynamic changes were evaluated by fNIRS when the participants performed the verbal fluency test and emotion recall task. fNIRS signals in the prefrontal cortex were compared between autism and TDC. Compared to TDC, autistic adults showed comparable performance on the verbal fluency test but exhibited lower frontal activity on the veg...
