Article Abstract

This study examined the usefulness of H T relaxation measurements for evaluating the homogeneity of amorphous solid dispersion (ASD). Indomethacin and polyvinylpyrrolidone were used to prepare two kinds of ASDs. One was inhomogeneous ASD (ASD) prepared by a melt-quenching method, and the other was homogeneous ASD (ASD) prepared by a solvent evaporation method. The T relaxation was measured by the time-domain NMR (TD-NMR) technique using a low-field NMR system. Curve-fitting analysis of T relaxation plots was conducted using the Akaike information criterion. This fitting analysis revealed that the T relaxation of ASD and ASD was biphasic and monophasic, respectively. ASD and ASD were inhomogeneous and homogeneous on a nanometer scale, respectively, considering the spin diffusion of H nuclei. These T results were consistent with the Raman mapping of ASDs. From the fitting analysis of H T relaxation, we conclude that TD-NMR is a promising technique for evaluating ASD homogeneity.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and social communication disorder (SCD) are neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by deficits in social communication that hinder social adaptation, with limited pharmacological options for therapy owing to the absence of identified biomarkers. Individuals with ASD or SCD require lifelong interventions tailored to their development stages. However, most existing interventions primarily focus on early childhood, leaving adolescents relatively underserved.

Objectives: To examine associations between low cognitive-performance and regional-and network-level brain changes at ages 9-10 in very-preterm, moderately-preterm, and full-term children, and explore whether these alterations predict ASD/ADHD symptoms at age 12.

Methods: This longitudinal population-based study included 9-10-year-old U.S.

Objective: To compare parenting stress between parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities (DDs) and to examine ASD's influence on parenting stress through mediation analysis.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 48 children with ASD (ASD group) and 77 with non-ASD DDs (non-ASD group), along with one of their parents, at the Gyeongsang National University Hospital between May 2021 and August 2024. All underwent developmental assessments and completed the Korean version of the Parenting Stress Index-4 and the Child Interactive Behavior Test (CIBT).

Division of Developmental Pediatrics, Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Türkiye.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is more frequently diagnosed in boys than in girls, possibly due to gender-based differences in symptom presentation or referral patterns. This study investigates gender-related variations in symptom severity and clinical presentation among preschool children referred for suspected ASD.

Methods: This study included 125 children (boys: n=103; girls: n=22) aged 2-5 years suspected of having ASD.

Parents of adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) face significant challenges, including high vulnerability to stress and a lack of adequate support services. However, there are currently few support systems based on a genuine assessment of their needs. This is particularly true in the French context, where there are delays in supporting families and addressing autism in adulthood.
