Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood disorders and can continue through adolescence and adulthood. Symptoms include difficulty staying focused and paying attention, difficulty controlling behavior, and hyperactivity (over-activity). ADHD has three subtypes:
ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) are psychiatric disorders belonging to the area neurodevelopmental concerns.
ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) are psychiatric disorders belonging to the area neurodevelopmental concerns.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD, similar to hyperkinetic disorder in the ICD-10) is a neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorder in which there are significant problems with executive functions (e.g., attentional control and inhibitory control) that cause attention deficits, hyperactivity, or impulsiveness which is not appropriate for a person's age.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a chronic condition that affects millions of children and often continues into adulthood.
•ADHD includes a combination of persistent problems, such as difficulty sustaining attention, hyperactivity and impulsive behavior.
•Children with ADHD also may struggle with low self-esteem, troubled relationships and poor performance in school.
•Symptoms sometimes lessen with age.
• However, some people never completely outgrow their ADHD symptoms. But they can learn strategies to be successful.

•The primary features of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder include inattention and hyperactive-impulsive behavior.
• ADHD symptoms start before age 12, and in some children, they're noticeable as early as 3 years of age. ADHD symptoms can be mild, moderate or severe, and they may continue into adulthood.
The term ADHD refers to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, a condition that makes it difficult for children to pay attention and/or control their behavior. Learn more about about the causes, diagnosis and treatment of ADHD.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

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

What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD.pptx
1. What is Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD,
ADD)?
https://mimood.com/attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder/
2. What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD, ADD)?
• Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common
childhood disorders and can continue through adolescence and adulthood.
Symptoms include difficulty staying focused and paying attention, difficulty
controlling behavior, and hyperactivity (over-activity). ADHD has three subtypes:
• Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive
• Most symptoms (six or more) are in the hyperactivity-impulsivity categories.
• Fewer than six symptoms of inattention are present, although inattention may still be present
to some degree.
• Predominantly inattentive
• The majority of symptoms (six or more) are in the inattention category and fewer than six
symptoms of hyperactivity-impulsivity are present, although hyperactivity-impulsivity may
still be present to some degree.
• Children with this subtype are less likely to act out or have difficulties getting along with
other children. They may sit quietly, but they are not paying attention to what they are doing.
Therefore, the child may be overlooked, and parents and teachers may not notice that he or
she has ADHD.
3. What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD, ADD)?
• Combined hyperactive-impulsive and inattentive
• Six or more symptoms of inattention and six or more symptoms of hyperactivity-impulsivity
are present.
• Most children have the combined type of ADHD.
• Causes
• Scientists are not sure what causes ADHD, although many studies suggest that
genes play a large role. Like many other illnesses, ADHD probably results from a
combination of factors. In addition to genetics, researchers are looking at possible
environmental factors, and are studying how brain injuries, nutrition, and the
social environment might contribute to ADHD.
• Genes. Results from several international studies of twins show that ADHD often
runs in families. Researchers are looking at several genes that may make people
more likely to develop the disorder. Knowing the genes involved may one day
help researchers prevent the disorder before symptoms develop. Learning about
specific genes could also lead to better treatments.
5. What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD, ADD)?
• Signs & Symptoms
• Children who have symptoms of inattention may:
• Be easily distracted, miss details, forget things, and frequently switch from
one activity to another
• Have difficulty focusing on one thing
• Become bored with a task after only a few minutes, unless they are doing
something enjoyable
• Have difficulty focusing attention on organizing and completing a task or
learning something new
• Have trouble completing or turning in homework assignments, often losing
things (e.g., pencils, toys, assignments) needed to complete tasks or
activities
6. What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD, ADD)?
• Who Is At Risk?
• ADHD is one of the most common childhood disorders and can
continue through adolescence and into adulthood. The average age of
onset is 7 years old.
• ADHD affects about 4.1% American adults age 18 years and older in a
given year. The disorder affects 9.0% of American children age 13 to
18 years. Boys are four times at risk than girls.
• Studies show that the number of children being diagnosed with
ADHD is increasing, but it is unclear why.
