Abstract: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is determined by attention disruption and higher level of impulsivity experienced by children which incorporates with the physical development and age. In order to scrutinize if children have carried ADHD, the disruptive symptoms have to be experienced and observed at least six (6) months to the observed children, which have led to academic progress and social disruption, and should be presented before age of 7. Objective/Purpose: This research aims to determine the relationship between ADHD with Hyperactivity and children’s academic achievement in Wenang district, Manado. Methods: Descriptive method combine with quantitative approach has been occupied and been used in January 2013 at the elementary schools in Wenang district, Manado. Results: Based on chi-square analysis, the output is x2count > x2table, and the p < 0,05. As a result, the H0 hypothesis is being rejected. It means there is a significant relationship between ADHD with academic achievement. Conclusion: Bond relationship between ADHD with academic achievement is presented cleary based on the research. The relationship occurs among 68 pupils who are studying in Wenang district 38 boys and 30 girls Key Words: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Academic Achievement     Abstrak: Gangguan pemusatan perhatian dan hiperaktivitas atau GPPH ditandai oleh rentang perhatian yang buruk yang tidak sesuai dengan perkembangan atau ciri hiperaktivitas dan impulsifitas atau keduanya yang tidak sesuai dengan usia.

Abstract Studies in the field of neuroscience and psychology have hypothesized that a causal association exists between atopic diseases and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Previous systematic reviews and meta-analyses have reported a higher risk of ADHD in children with atopic diseases; however, the relationship between ADHD symptoms and atopic diseases remains unclear. We systematically reviewed observational cross-sectional and longitudinal studies to investigate the relationship between atopic diseases and ADHD symptom severity (hyperactivity/impulsivity and inattention). The majority of studies showed a statistically significant association between atopic diseases and both ADHD symptoms, with substantial heterogeneity in the outcome of hyperactivity/impulsivity. Inconsistent results were observed in the subgroup analysis of different exclusion criteria for patients with ADHD. Our study indicated that atopic diseases not only increase the risk of ADHD but also are associated with ADHD symptom severity. This association was even observed in children with subthreshold ADHD, indicating that atopic diseases play a role in the spectrum of ADHD symptom severity. Trial registration: This study was registered on PROSPERO (registration ID: CRD42020213219).

BackgroundAttention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common mental disorders that manifest among children. Despite the fact that the teacher's role is essential in the assessment and management of pupils with ADHD and the recommendation of participation of teachers for the success and efficiency of diagnoses and treatment, the vast majority of teachers have neither understanding nor knowledge of ADHD.ObjectivesThe current study explores the kindergarten and elementary school teachers’ knowledge regarding early detection and management of ADHD.MethodsCross sectional survey using stratified random sampling technique was carried out in governmental and private elementary and kindergarten schools in four cities of Qassim region, Saudi Arabia.ResultsThe study included 1095 teachers, 711 (59.3%) did not get information about ADHD during undergraduate studies. Teachers’ overall ADHD knowledge mean was 21.7 + 5.5 out of 38 marks. Teachers with high qualification degree and kindergarten specialty scored 56.4% and 60.2%, respectively. Teachers who attended conferences related to ADHD scored 64.5%, while teachers who read about ADHD or have been ever asked to diagnose/teach an ADHD student had 59.4% and 62.1%, respectively. The sources for those who got their information through reading were statistically significant in overall knowledge, general knowledge and treatment dimensions. As scientific studies and books were the highest with percentage of 24.6% and 23.3%, respectively, 4% and 3.6%, respectively, 3% and 3%, respectively. The level of ADHD knowledge perception showed that 76% of teachers were knowledgeable in relation to overall ADHD perception.ConclusionTeachers who have higher qualifications or training in identifying ADHD children scored higher in our study.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

The etiology of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is complex and multifactorial. Although the development of ADHD symptoms remains to be elucidated, in recent years, epigenetic processes have emerged as candidate mechanisms. Lead is one of the most dangerous environmental pollutants, and it is suspected to be associated with ADHD. The aim of the present study was to review the epidemiological literature currently available on the relation between lead exposure and the diagnosis of ADHD. The PubMed and EMBASE databases were searched from 1 July 2018 up to 31 July 2018. The authors included observational studies (cohort, case–control and cross-sectional studies) published in English carried out on children within the last 5 years, measuring lead exposure and health outcomes related to ADHD. Seventeen studies met the inclusion criteria: 5 of these studies found no association between lead exposure and ADHD whereas the remaining 12 studies showed positive associations, even though not all of them were homogeneous in terms of exposure periods considered or ADHD diagnosis. To conclude, the evidence from the studies allowed us to establish that there is an association between lead and ADHD and that even low levels of lead raise the risk. However, there is still a lack of longitudinal studies about the relationship between lead exposure and the development of ADHD. Given the potential importance for public health, further research that includes the entire potential risk factors for ADHD in children must be encouraged.

ABSTRACT Objective To compare children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), before and after the use of methylphenidate, and a control group, using tests of working memory, inhibition capacity and mental flexibility. Methods Neuropsychological tests were administrated to 53 boys, 9–12 years old: the WISC-III digit span backward, and arithmetic; Stroop Color; and Trail Making Tests. The case group included 23 boys with ADHD, who were combined type, treatment-naive, and with normal intelligence without comorbidities. The control group (n = 30) were age and gender matched. After three months on methylphenidate, the ADHD children were retested. The control group was also retested after three months. Results Before treatment, ADHD children had lower scores than the control group on the tests (p ≤ 0.001) and after methylphenidate had fewer test errors than before (p ≤ 0.001) Conclusion Methylphenidate treatment improves the working memory, inhibitory control and mental flexibility of ADHD boys.

Objective: The study was conducted to determine the caries experience and oral hygiene status of children suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and was compared with that of non-ADHD children. Study design: A total of 80 children, including 40 ADHD and 40 non-ADHD children were included in the study. A visual dental examination for dental caries was performed and oral hygiene status of these children was determined. The parent/ guardian completed a questionnaire concerning the child's behavior followed by questionnaire to the child regarding oral hygiene practices and food habits. Results:Student-t test and chi-square test showed that children with ADHD had significantly higher defs score, mean plaque score in compared to that of non-ADHD children. Statistical significant differences were also found out in relation with frequency of tooth brushing and consumption of sugary food among the children suffering from ADHD. Conclusion: Caries prevalence in the primary dentition is increased in the children suffering from ADHD due to poor oral hygiene and increased consumption of sugary foods.

Background: The growth and development of the child are essential and inevitable, and the growth of every child requires motor development. Purpose: This study examines the relationship between motor self-motivation and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder's symptoms in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. 40 people were selected by the convenience sampling method from the psychology centers of the province. The research method was descriptive-correlational. A questionnaire was used to collect data. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and linear regression. Results: The results showed that there is a significant negative relationship between motor self-motivation and symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. The results of regression analysis also showed that motor self-motivation is able to predict the symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in children. Conclusion: In general, the more children's motor motivation, the more minor attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder's symptoms. Keywords: Hyperactivity, motor self-motivation, motor development, preschool

Latar belakang. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) merupakan gangguan perilaku yang paling banyak dijumpai padaanak. Defisiensi besi diduga berperan dalam kejadian ADHD melalui perubahan neurotransmiter dopamin. Feritin serum merupakanindikator reliabel simpanan besi dalam tubuh termasuk otak.Tujuan. Untuk mengkaji hubungan antara defisiensi besi dan kejadian ADHD pada anak.Metode. Penelitian cross sectional dilakukan di RSUP Dr Sardjito dan Pusat Pengkajian dan Pengamatan Tumbuh Kembang Anak(P3TKA) Yogyakarta. Diagnosis ADHD berdasarkan kriteria DSM IV-TR. Subjek penelitian dipilih secara consecutive mencakup 35anak dengan ADHD and 35 anak tanpa ADHD. Dilakukan pengukuran kadar serum feritin pada semua subyek. Hubungan antaradefisiensi besi dengan ADHD dianalisis dengan chi square dan rerata feritin serum dengan uji Mean WhitneyHasil. Kadar feritin serum yang rendah ditemukan pada 34% anak dengan ADHD dan 25% pada anak tanpa ADHD tetapi secarastatistik tidak berbeda bermakna. Penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan rerata feritin serum pada pasien ADHDdan tanpa ADHD (24.4 ±22.04 μg/L vs.24.4±19.9 μg/L, p > 0,01).Kesimpulan. Prevalensi defisiensi besi pada anak ADHD dibandingkan tanpa ADHD tidak berbeda secara bermakna.
