In his fourth and concluding lecture of the IMMH Conference in San Antonio, 2014, Dr. Cady reviews the statistics, epidemiology, biological nature and pharmacologic treatment of ADHD. The first part of the presentation was absolutely conventional allopathic psychiatry, inclusive of brain imaging.
The second part of the presentation considered: "If we are thinking about biological, psychological, and behavioral interventions for a 'psychiatric' patient, shouldn't we be considering the TWO biological levels?" The most normal biological level that "biologically trained psychiatrists" consider is medications and medication effectiveness. However, sometimes even the most vigorous, precise, and heroic efforts do not work. The potential confound it the underlying physiological, hormonal, nutrient, antioxidant, PUFA-rich state associated with optimal health and well being.
In the final analysis, shouldn't we make sure that we have BOTH of these biological foundations right?
We hope that you enjoy this provocative slide presentation.

Recent studies both community and hospital based have shown that there is a significant burden of psychiatric disorder in epilepsy, with as many as 50% of all subjects studied being affected.
The available epidemiological data suggests that psychiatric disorders are over-represented in epilepsy, the evidence for psychosis in particular being rather compelling
School Entry Age: The younger group has more behavior and academic problemsYanki Yazgan
Sule Yazgan, M.D. and I represented our group of child psychiatry, pediatrics and psychology at the AAP 2015 meeting in Wash DC.
Sule presented data from a community based study that was conducted during the 2012-2013 academic year when the compulsory school age entry in Turkey was redefined as 60/66 months.
The study was led by Sebla Gokce, M.D. and I was the senior investigator.
Our findings showed that the 1st grade children who were under 72 months had more behavioral symptoms and functional impairment. There were more diagnosable cases of ADHD in the under 72 months group than the "older" children who became 1st graders after 72 months. The changes in school entry age appears to be associated with more children with ADHD symptoms and impairment in that urban sample.
We need to further elaborate the discussion and do quite a few analyses before we proceed with the write up. The findings are parallel to earlier findings of younger age in the classroom to be associated with more diagnoses of ADHD. Here we have an even younger than usual group whose symptom/impairment level and caseness escalated. Whether these changes in behavior led to an increase in the referrals and treatment for ADHD, and whether this findings is generalizable to more disadvantaged, semiurban and rural areas of Turkey await further research.
Your feedback will be welcome.

La recta final del primer trimestre: apoyo para los los niños con TDAHFundación CADAH TDAH
En muchas ocasiones las familias nos comentan que el primer trimestre es para ellos como una toma de contacto, aunque en realidad haya pasado un tercio del curso escolar. Esto se debe a que entre el comienzo de las clases con jornadas reducidas, días festivos del trimestre y la puesta al día en todo lo relacionado con el plano académico, los chicos y ellos mismos casi no han sido conscientes del paso del trimestre.
En este punto llega la pregunta que todos se hacen: ¿habremos tomado las medidas oportunas para empezar bien el curso? ¿Nos habremos quedado cortos? ¿Es necesario que cambiemos algo?

TDAH y Trastornos disruptivos: TEI (Trastorno explosivo intermitente9Fundación CADAH TDAH
A diferencia del Trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad (TDAH), el Trastorno Negativista Desafiante (TND), el Trastorno de la Personalidad Antisocial y/o el Trastorno de Conducta (TC), éste se caracteriza por un patrón aleatorio de reactividad conductual agresiva y desproporcionada sin un motivo ni objetivo concreto, ocasionando alteraciones o perjuicios graves en el entorno físico y social y el propio individuo.

Información sobre TDAH #TDAH #CADAH
La comorbilidad en el TDAH es una condición es muy frecuente. Conviene diferenciar entre comorbilidad y rasgos o síntomas asociados, aunque también a veces la comorbilidad es una consecuencia del propio TDAH
La autoestima es el concepto que tenemos de nuestra valía y se basa en todos los pensamientos, sentimientos, sensaciones y experiencias que sobre nosotros mismos hemos ido recogiendo durante nuestra vida.
Nunca resulta fácil enterarse de que nuestro hij@ tiene Trastorno por Déficit de Atención e Hiperactividad (TDAH). Cuando se confirma el diagnostico, el entorno familiar sufre un fuerte golpe, y los padres experimentan diferentes fases psicológicas y emocionales que pueden variar según cada caso siendo las más comunes.
La desobediencia y la agresividad infantiles y juveniles son dos de los problemas que más angustian a los padres porque es difícil afrontar las situaciones que se desencadenan y establecer modelos de conducta que hagan cambiar a quienes presentan tales conductas. La necesidad de cambio es imperativa porque las actitudes agresivas derivan en conductas antisociales y en fracaso escolar en el caso de los menores y, si hablamos de adultos, en inadaptación y delincuencia.
Quejarse de estar aburrido de vez en cuando es parte de ser un niño. Pero para los niñ@s con TDAH, el aburrimiento puede ser un problema frecuente. Y puede manifestarse en formas que tengan consecuencias negativas.
La detección, evaluación y diagnóstico del TDAH hasta llegar a su correcto tratamiento es un proceso largo, que se inicia desde los primeros años del niño/a y a menudo no se completa hasta la etapa juvenil, acarreando problemas de tipo emocional, conductual, fracaso escolar, aislamiento y rechazo social, problemas familiares, incomprensión social, etiquetaje, tratamientos médicos inadecuados, etc.
Con la llegada de las vacaciones de verano, a las familias de niños y adolescentes con TDAH se les plantea la duda de si continuar con la intervención terapéutica o no. Conocer las diferentes opciones que tienen a su alcance servirá para llevar una mejor organización.
No todos los casos de TDAH adulto requieren de un tratamiento multimodal, es decir, combinar las intervenciones farmacológicas con las psicológicas y las psicosociales. Las intervenciones psicoterapéuticas son la primera línea de intervención en el adulto tras el diagnóstico, o bien o cuando el cuadro sintomático de la infancia-adolescencia se ha estabilizado pero es necesario continuar la intervención en la edad adulta.
El niño disgráfico motor comprende la relación entre los sonidos escuchados, y que el mismo pronuncia perfectamente, y la representación grafica de estos sonidos, pero encuentra dificultades en la escritura como consecuencia de una motricidad deficiente
El estado de ánimo puede ser normal, elevado o deprimido. Habitualmente las personas experimentan un amplio abanico de estados de ánimo y de expresiones afectivas. La gente siente que tiene cierto control sobre su estado de ánimo. En los trastornos del estado de ánimo se pierde esta sensación de control y se experimenta un malestar general.
Mucha de la sintomatología propia del TDAH (Trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad) se materializa en unos pobres y disfuncionales hábitos de estudio lo que suele conllevar a su vez, a unos malos resultados académicos o incluso fracaso escolar.
Dentro de las posibles comorbilidades del Trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad (TDAH), destaca en la adolescencia el Trastorno por Uso de Sustancias (TUS), como un problema grave para el individuo y para su entorno.
Para muchas familias se vuelve una tarea complicada por falta de tiempo, pero debemos saber que pasar tiempo de juego con nuestros hijos les beneficia a muchos niveles.
Según Orellana-Ayala (2010) uno de los grandes problemas con relación al TDAH y el crecimiento ha sido asociar las deficiencias nutricionales o aportes inadecuados de nutrientes como causa del TDAH y perder la perspectiva de que estas deficiencias son, fundamentalmente, factores asociados y no etiológicos.
El maltrato familiar de los hijos hacia los padres y hermanos es algo más común de lo que socialmente se cree. Aparece en todas las clases sociales aunque es en la clase media donde incide más. Por otro lado, las madres de familias monoparentales son unas de las grandes víctimas de este tipo de maltrato. No obstante, en las familias tradicionales también la madre es la más agredida.
La última versión del Manual Diagnóstico y Estadístico de los Trastornos Mentales (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), el DSM-V, vio por primera vez la luz, en Mayo de 2013 en el Congreso Anual de la APA (Asociación Americana de Psiquiatría) en San Francisco, USA.
La mayoría de los padres de niños con hiperactividad se desesperan porque no ven que exista relación entre el tiempo que dedican sus hijos a estudiar, lo aparentemente bien que llevan preparadas las materias y los resultados de los exámenes.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Oppositional Defiant Disorder (40Oppositional Defiant Disorder (40--80%)80%)
• ADHD cases are 11x more likely to have ODD
• ADHD contributes to and likely causes ODDy
– This likely occurs through the impact of ADHD on
emotional self-regulation (an executive function)
– This can account for the well-established findings that
ADHD medications reduce ODD as much as they do
ADHDADHD
• Some ODD is related to disrupted parenting
– Inconsistent, indiscriminate, emotional, and episodically
harsh and permissive (lax) consequences teaches social
coercion as a means of social interaction
– Poor parenting can arise from parental ADHD and other
high risk parental disorders in ADHD families
• Early ODD predicts persistence of ADHD and
increases risk for CD/MDD and anxiety disorders
17. 17
Conduct Disorder (20Conduct Disorder (20--56%)56%)
• If starts early, represents a unique family subtype
– More severe, more persistent antisocial behavior
– Worse family psychopathologyWorse family psychopathology
• Antisocial personality, substance use disorders, major depression
• Parent hostility, depression, & low warmth and monitoring interact
reciprocally with child conduct problems over time to adolescence**
– Greater association with ADHD (especially inattention symptoms)
– Less responsive to behavioral or family interventions
• Increased risk of psychopathy (20%)
• Father desertion, parent divorce more common
• Major depression more likely to precede/co-exist with CD
• If CD starts late (>12), related to social disadvantage,
family disruption & affiliation with deviant peersfamily disruption, & affiliation with deviant peers
• School drop out, drug use, and teen pregnancy are more
likely in comorbid cases than in ADHD alone*

ConclusionsConclusions
• ADHD is a valid disorder that is highly persistent into
adulthood – 65-86%
• ADHD in children produces immediate and long-term
adverse effects on educational performance and final
educational levels whether or not it persists to age 27
• ADHD increases the risk for other psychiatric disorders
including ODD CD Anxiety Disorders Majorincluding ODD, CD, Anxiety Disorders, Major
Depression, and Suicidal Thinking and Attempts
• ADHD produces a negative impact on occupational level
and employment functioning
• These educational, psychiatric, and occupational risks, p y , p
are associated with significant economic costs and
burdens to society, to government agencies, and to
employers
