Background:The association of the celiac disease with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is unclear. Objectives: The current study aimed to examine this relationship and the prevalence of the celiac disease in ADHD patients. Methods: From 2016 to 2018, we tested 99 patients aged 4 to 18 years with ADHD diagnosed with clinical interviews for serum IgA and anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG) antibody for the diagnosis of celiac disease. Results: There was no IgA deficiency in our patients. The prevalence of positive anti-tTG antibody-IgA test was 6.06%, all in boys. The ADHD children with positive test results were significantly heavier and more well-nourished. There was no association between ADHD severity serum anti-tTG antibody positivity. Conclusions: The prevalence of celiac serology was higher in ADHD children than in the general population. Among all symptoms of celiac disease and ADHD, only was body mass index significantly higher in patients with positive serology.
LSA and morphea are chronic diseases, characterized by the sclerosis of
the connective tissues. Bullous type of both diseases and coexistence of
LSA and morphea are very rare manifestations. Herein. we report a case
consistent with bullous combined LSA and morphea that was treated with
methotrexate and pulse of methylprednisolon
Background
Some studies have shown that neurological and mental disorders in children with celiac disease are higher than in the general population. The aim of this study is to find frequency of ADHD in celiac patients.
Result
The findings of the study showed that the frequency of ADHD in males was 6 cases (22.2%) and 6 cases (18.2%) in females, and although the ADHD score was higher in males, there was no significant difference in sex (P = 0.697). The frequency of ADHD in terms of age group also showed that there were no hyperactive children in the age group under 5 years of age; in the age group of 5–9 years old, 8 cases (28.6%); in the age group of 10 to 14 years old, 4 cases (19%); and in the age group of 15 and older, no one was diagnosed with ADHD. The chi-square test showed that the frequency of ADHD in terms of age group was not significantly different (P = 0.26). It should be noted that according to Pearson correlation test, there was a reverse correlation between the age and ADHD, but it was not statistically significant (P = 0.33).
Conclusions
The frequency of ADHD among boys and girls with celiac disease was 22.2% and 18.2%, respectively.
COVID-19 infection is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 [SARS-CoV-2], a betacoronavirus. The most common clinical manifestations of COVID-19 are respiratory symptoms. As the pandemic progressed, other aspects were discovered, including cutaneous manifestations of the disease 1 for example erythematous rash, urticaria, vesicle formation, and purpura. 2
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
