“…Parental attitudes toward ADHD symptoms, diagnostic labels, medical and school providers, and acceptable treatment types may affect care-seeking behaviors (DosReis et al, 2006; DosReis et al, 2007; Mychailyszyn et al, 2008; Pham et al, 2010). This may lead to the lower diagnostic and service utilization rates among racially and ethnically diverse youth (Morgan et al, 2013; Vierhile, Robb, & Ryan-Krause, 2009). …”

BACKGROUND Previous research has shown major disparities in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) for diverse youth across America. We do not fully understand, however, how parent and family processes are related to the identification, care-seeking approaches, treatment preferences, and engagement with care systems and services for youth with ADHD. OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to explore parent and family processes related to the management of ADHD in racially and ethnically diverse youth. DESIGN This integrative review was structured with the methodology proposed by Whittemore and Knafl. RESULTS Three major electronic databases yielded a final sample of 32 articles (24 quantitative, 6 qualitative, and 2 mixed methods). Nine themes emerged within three overarching meta-themes. CONCLUSIONS Understanding the unique perspectives of families from diverse backgrounds is essential for clinicians, researchers, and policymakers, who are dedicated to understanding racial and ethnic perspectives and developing ecologically appropriate and family-based interventions for youth with ADHD.

“…In prepubertal age the diagnosis is difficult because of paucity of signs and symptoms, such as a relative disproportion between torso and leg, smaller testes [Ratcliffe, 1985], cognitive impairment, and behavioral and language problems including attention deficit disorders which have been reported in more than 50% of Klinefelter boys [Bruining et al, 2009]. However, these cannot be considered specific of the syndrome as they are also found in approximately 10% of boys with normal karyotype [Vierhile et al, 2009]. A longitudinal study has also shown that growth of XXY boys was accelerated in childhood, when compared to healthy ones, without differences in the concentrations of IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 [Aksglaede et al, 2008b].…”

The prevalence of the Klinefelter’s syndrome, ranging between 1/500 and 1/1,000 in the general male population, rises up to 3–4% among infertile males and to 10–12% in azoospermic patients. Due to the paucity of symptoms, only 10% of Klinefelter patients are diagnosed prepubertally. The clinical spectrum of the phenotype of adult Klinefelter patients is very broad and ranges from clinically overt hypogonadism to normally virilized males. The diagnosis is usually made during the evaluation of couple infertility. The only nearly constant clinical feature is the reduced testicular volume and azoospermia or, in few cases, cryptozoospermia. Due to the variability of the phenotype and also to the fact that the main symptoms of the syndrome (androgen deficiency, infertility) are in the reproductive domain, approximately two thirds of Klinefelter patients are not diagnosed during their life. Low/normal testosterone and high levels of the luteinizing hormone (LH) suggest that all Klinefelter patients have overt or compensated hypogonadism which should be treated with testosterone, starting from the peri-pubertal age. Even if no medical treatment is possible for infertility, testicular sperm for assisted reproduction techniques can be obtained by multiple testicular biopsies in experienced centers in up to 50% of subjects. Although there are no predictors for successful sperm retrieval, the birth of 101 children with normal karyotype was reported in the last 15 years. Furthermore, the genetic risk to the offspring of Klinefelter patients has recently not been found to be greater than that of patients with nonobstructive azoospermia with normal karyotype.

“…The neurophysiological causes of ADHD have been reported; these functional disorders in the right side frontal lobe and dorsal side frontal lobe may evoke decreased functional ability in personal relations and coordination [5,6]. In particular, hyperactivity, attention deficiency, impulsivity, and aggression in school age children can still be persisted into adulthood and thus, earlier intervention to relieve ADHD is urgently required to ensure successful social adaptation and social relations [7][8][9].…”
