A cognitive test can distinguish among kids with ADHD.

Kids have higher ADHD risk in mothers experiencing eclampsia during pregnancy.

Drug combination with memantine could improve executive function in ADHD.

Oral contraceptives do not worsen multiple sclerosis and may help stop relapses.

Off-label use of Ritalin for MS did not help patients.

Atomoxetine was better than comparators in improving symptoms of ADHD.

Placebo did better than promising drug in treating MS fatigue.

Almost 50% kids' ADHD symptoms persisting to adulthood may depend on diagnosis.

Quantitative EEG is not the way to diagnose ADHD, guidelines say.

Researchers suspect cognitive training can prevent the development attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in infants.

The second of a two-part, year-end review of advances against eczema/dermatitis (AD) focused on treatment and prevention, noting there was little evidence showing "relative efficacy" of common systemic treatments.

An over-the-counter (OTC) treatment was considered superior to both the corticosteroid and an emollient cream in improving skin hydration.

Previous research showed probiotics given to pregnant women during certain stages of pregnancy and post delivery reduced the likelihood of atopic dermatitis in their children. Recently published reports; however, may not agree.

Multiple measurements of skin integrity and function were applied to distinguish between the effects of topical emollient products in a recent study. Two popular products in the UK were determined to transiently improve the skin barrier that is thought to be defective in atopic dermatitis (AD), and another product was confirmed to be damaging.

Researchers report that atopic dermatitis (AD) is associated with increased risk of ADHD in adults and children. Patients with more severe AD were at even higher risk.

A modified Goeckerman regimen was associated with significant improvement of symptoms in patients with chronic, severe atopic dermatitis.

Severe atopic dermatitis (AD) symptoms of shorter duration were more likely to improve in allergen sensitized patients receiving desensitizing immunotherapy, than severe symptoms of longer duration or more moderate symptoms, according to a new observational cohort study.

Childhood atopic dermatitis (AD) usually resolves before adulthood, a meta-analysis of cases showed. Those patients who did see their AD persist were more likely to be female, to have been older at onset, and to have relatively severe AD.

Topical corticosteroid worked as well as bleach in transforming the microbiota of affected skin to that of healthy skin, an NYU study found.

Staph is often present in patients with atopic dermatitis, study finds.
