J Child Adolesc Physcopharmacol 2014 Jul 10 [Epub ahead of print] Reference Guanfacine is a central α2-agonist with a mechanism of action similar to that of clonidine.

Movement disorders in young people related to ADHD
(University of Copenhagen - The Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences) Researchers at the University of Copenhagen and the Copenhagen University Hospital have identified a particular genetic mutation that may cause parkinsonism in young people. The mutation interferes with the brain's transport of the important signal substance dopamine and may also plays a role in mental diseases, e.g. ADHD. The findings have just been published in the scientific Journal of Clinical Investigation.

The New Measles Outbreak: Blame the Anti-Vaxxers
You have to be spoiled to play cute with disease—spoiled or, well, stupid. And today’s announcement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that measles cases in the U.S. have hit record highs in the first five months of this year is a maddening example of both. I learned of the report in an especially striking way.

CDC Reports More Than 10K Toddlers Medicated For ADHD
BOSTON (CBS) — The Centers for Disease Control reports an alarming number of toddlers are given medication for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Experts say it’s not only appalling, it’s irresponsible. Dr. Nancy Rappaport, a child psychiatrist at Cambridge Health Alliance and Harvard Medical School reacts to recent data from the CDC showing that more than 10,000 American two and three-year-olds are now being medicated for ADHD. “Developmentally, you’re supposed to be scattered and disorganized as a toddler,” Rappaport says. Rappaport has been diagnosing and treating children with...

Use of acetaminophen during pregnancy linked to ADHD in children, UCLA researchers say
Acetaminophen, found in over-the-counter products such as Excedrin and Tylenol, provides many people with relief from headaches and sore muscles. When used appropriately, it is considered mostly harmless. Over recent decades, the drug, which has been marketed since the 1950s, has become the medication most commonly used by pregnant women for fevers and pain. Now, a long-term study by UCLA, in collaboration with the University of Aarhus in Denmark, has raised concerns about the use of acetaminophen during pregnancy. In a report in the current online edition of JAMA Pediatrics, researchers from the UCLA Fiel...

Big data gets physical
Can we make the rise of wearable technology a story about better health for everyone, not just better gadgets for me?I am obsessed with my running app. Last week obsession became frustration verging on throw-the-phone-on-the-floor anger. Wednesday's lunchtime 5km run was pretty good, almost back up to pre-Christmas pace. On Friday, I thought I had smashed it. The first 2km were very close to my perennial 5 min/km barrier. And I was pretty sure I had kept up the pace. But the app disagreed.As I ate my 347 calorie salad – simultaneously musing on how French dressing could make up 144 of them – I switched furiously betwee...

Mind Meets Body: Developing a Psychology Internship in a Family Medicine Residency Program (Raymond Hornyak PhD)
Mind Meets Body: Creating a Primary Care Psychology Internship in a Family Medicine Residency Program Introduction: Multiple studies have identified the benefits of providing behavioral health services to primary care patients. Decreased length of stay, fewer hospitalizations and emergency room visits, less frequent office visits, fewer prescriptions, and improvement in health outcomes have been associated with the availability of a behavioral health professional as part of an integrative primary care network. Family physicians have found behavioral health colleagues a valuable resource in which to refer their "diffi...

Does mom’s petition to change M&M’s formula make her the Grinch who stole Halloween?
Renee Shutters is a mom with a mission. She has teamed with the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CPSI) on a change.org petition to M&M’s maker Mars, Inc., requesting the company remove artificial dye from the iconic candy. She noticed her 9-year-old son’s hyperactive behavior improved after she eliminated foods containing artificial dyes from his diet. Now, she wants Mars to use natural dyes in M&M’s. It seems like a bit of a bold request—until the candy maker’s European formula is revealed. On the other side of the pond, Mars nixes the petroleum-based dyes it uses in the U.S. and replaces them ...

If media is like food, how is your family’s diet?
Media has become as much a part of life as food—but we don’t always have the healthiest diets. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) just updated their policy statement entitled “Children, Adolescents and the Media.” It’s full of some really interesting facts. Did you know that 8 to 10 year olds spend eight hours per day with some kind of media, and for older children and teens that goes up to more than 11 hours a day? As they point out, young people currently spend more time with media than they do in school. Common Sense Media also came out with a report about media in kids under 8 years old. The good news i...
