The incidence of chronic illness in children has reached epidemic proportions., In the US, one out of 2 children may be diagnosed with conditions such as Autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, asthma, allergies, eczema and autoimmune…
Neurobiological studies of the past decade have suggested that the imbalance between neural excitation (E) and inhibition (I) in the neural systems is one of the key pathophysiological mechanisms in autism. Cortical gamma-band oscillations (30–100Hz)…
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social, stereotypical, and repetitive behaviors. Neural dysregulation was proposed as an etiological factor in ASD. The sodium leakage channel (NCA), regulated by NLF-1 (NCA localization…
The connection between nutrition and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by notable delays or deviations in interaction and communication, has offered a novel perspective and suggests that nutrition may contribute to the…
No drug has yet been approved to treat the core symptoms of autism. For over half a century attempts have been made to repurpose existing drugs to treat autism. Clinical trials go back to the…
Children with autism spectrum disorder experience behavioral and emotional symptoms hypothesized to arise from emotion dysregulation (ED), difficulty modulating emotional experience, expression, and intensity in an acceptable and contextually appropriate manner. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Group Therapy…
In this ground-breaking study, we unveil the first diagnostic protocol that leverages genetic testing for autism and developmental disorders in children. By meticulously analyzing genetic data from a cohort of 245 children with diverse developmental…
A significant increase in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) all over the world dictates the need to search for modern and effective methods of prevention, diagnosis and health care for such patients. At…
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder in children. It is currently diagnosed by behavior-based assessments made by observation and interview. In 2018 we reported a discovery study of a blood biomarker diagnostic…
Autism & Fragile X syndrome are intertwined as they share some neurochemical similarities. Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is the second cause of intellectual disability after Down syndrome and the most prevalent cause of intellectual disability…
At the intersection of technical precision and compassionate care lies the heart of service delivery. Join Dr. Megan DeLeon in this captivating presentation as we unravel the significance of creating meaningful connections with our clients.…
Background: C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein-3 (CTRP3) has diverse functions: anti-inflammation, metabolic regulation, and protection against endothelial dysfunction. Methods: The plasma level of CTRP3 in autistic patients (n = 32) was compared to that in controls…
Children and adults with autism often have self-limited diets with insufficient intake of vegetables, fruit, protein, and essential fatty acids. Also, due to metabolic differences, they often need additional nutritional support. This presentation will summarize…
The Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are a heterogeneous group of developmental abnormalities, with clinical appearance in neurological, otolaryngological, and general pediatric deficits. For many years, using extended hearing examination approach, which includes otoscopy, tympanometry, otoacoustical…
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a well-known neurodevelopmental illness with significant medical variance. There is controversy surrounding the effectiveness of omega-3 supplementation as an evidence-based treatment of symptoms of ASD. The link between autism and…
Treatments for Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which is characterized by impairments in social interaction, deficits in communication and the presence of restricted/repetitive behaviors, remain elusive. The gut-microbiota-brain axis is an emerging potential new therapeutic target.…
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders respectively that share common clinical features, such as language impairment, executive functions, and cognitive problems. Proteomic analysis of autism and Alzheimer’s mouse…
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a broad term used to define a multiple neuro-developmental disorder that affects children as early as 1-3 years of age. Children and young people with ASD frequently experience a range…
The inclusion of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) remains a pivotal yet challenging endeavor in global communities at all ages. This abstract sheds light on the specific contexts of Lebanon and Jordan, two Middle…
Autism Spectrum Conditions are behaviourally defined, which highlights the need to focus on understanding the behavioural phenotype. Many autistic people experience challenges in social-communicative behaviour. A theoretical account suggests that atypical response to social rewards…
