This is related to language and figurative language. Competence in figurative language and its forms, such as verbal irony, is an understudied aspect of High Intellectual Ability that could provide a broader understanding of the abilities that constitute it, compared to the development of typical intelligence. The aim of this study was to investigate how children with HIA, aged 7-9 years, understand verbal irony and to compare their competence with typical children of the same age.Methods: A univariate analysis of variance was performed on responses to the VIrQ questionnaire from a sample of n=62 schoolchildren with HIA and an agematched control group of typical schoolchildren (n=62).Results: Show the complexity of verbal irony comprehension in participants with HIA at the age of 7-9 years compared to typical schoolchildren.Discussion: We conclude and discuss comparing the components of irony that were most easily understood in each group, as well as those that were most difficult, suggesting the relevance of this area of study for better understanding the functioning of high intellectual ability, the relationship of verbal irony to other higher-level cognitive processes, and its possible role as complementary information in differential cognitive assessment.","PeriodicalId":18419,"journal":{"name":"Medicina-buenos Aires","volume":"85 Suppl 1 ","pages":"69-75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143527920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the analysis of the effectiveness of multicomponent programs in Spanish is relatively scarce. Therefore, the main objective of the present study was to analyze the effectiveness of a multicomponent program (i.e., phonological-based training with visual letter support, Reading fluency training, and motivational strategies) on Reading skills and Reading motivation in Spanish children with dyslexia.Materials and methods: Twenty-four children with dyslexia between 9 and 12 years of age participated. Support teachers individually applied the multicomponent program for 20 weeks at a rate of three weekly sessions of about 40-50 minutes. Different measures of word, pseudo-word, text and comprehension reading, as well as Reading motivation indicators were taken.Results: The results of the comparison between pretreatment and post-treatment phase scores indicate that students with dyslexia increased their performance on Reading measures (e.g., word-reading efficiency, pseudowords, text reading speed and accuracy index, reading comprehension), as well as on reading motivation measures (e.g., reading self-concept, reading value, and reading engagement).Discussion: Results are discussed with respect to effective interventions for students with dyslexia. Reflections on the limitations of the study provide a basis for recommending future lines of research.","PeriodicalId":18419,"journal":{"name":"Medicina-buenos Aires","volume":"85 Suppl 1 ","pages":"76-81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143527884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"[Early diagnosis of ASD using biomarkers: a narrative review].","authors":"Luna Maddalon, Maria Eleonora Minissi, Mariano Alcañiz","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) encompasses a range of neurodevelopmental conditions characterized by social challenges, repetitive behaviors, and communication difficulties. While diagnosis traditionally relies on behavioral observations, new biomedical approaches, such as the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC), aim to identify biomarkers that integrate genetic, neural, and behavioral factors. Notable biomarkers include genetic variants, molecular alterations such as abnormal neurotransmitter levels, and markers associated with immune dysfunction. Brain organoids have also enabled the investigation of specific neural mechanisms. In neuroimaging, techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) have identified atypical connectivity patterns in infants at high risk for ASD. Similarly, measures like electroencephalography (EEG) and eye tracking have revealed differences in visual attention and brain activity, while physiological indicators such as electrodermal activity (EDA) and heart rate variability (HRV) reflect sensory and autonomic dysfunctions. The use of digital biomarkers is rapidly growing, with devices like tablets and virtual reality capturing data on children's interactions. Analyzed using artificial intelligence, these data show promise for improving early ASD detection, though further validation is needed. Integrating traditional and digital approaches is essential for advancing diagnosis and intervention strategies.","PeriodicalId":18419,"journal":{"name":"Medicina-buenos Aires","volume":"85 Suppl 1 ","pages":"3-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143527889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several factors contribute to this low adherence, some of which are modifiable.Methods: We conducted a literature review of recent studies on medication adherence in children and adolescents with ADHD. We gathered data on ADHD treatment adherence from our clinic in the ADHD Program and the Child and Adolescent Mood Disorders Program (ChAMP) at the University of Texas Health-Houston Program. We analyzed factors related to medication adherence, such as patient age, sex, prescription type, release formula, and their association with adherence in 117 patients with ADHD who were prescribed stimulant or nonstimulant medications.Results: We found publications identifying factors influencing medication adherence, including disorder characteristics, the patient, the healthcare system, socioeconomic factors, the medication itself, and the environment. Factors that can improve adherence include: knowledge about ADHD, the medication, its benefits, and potential side effects; simple, once-daily extendedrelease medication regimens; patients younger than 12 years old; female sex; reduced barriers to accessing healthcare; and a positive, proactive attitude of parents toward ADHD and medication use.Discussion: Optimizing adherence and long-term prognosis of ADHD is achieved by reinforcing factors that increase adherence and reducing biases and lack of knowledge about ADHD.","PeriodicalId":18419,"journal":{"name":"Medicina-buenos Aires","volume":"85 Suppl 1 ","pages":"82-89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143527915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"[Heritability in neurodevelopmental disorders].","authors":"Jesús Eirís-Puñal, E Monteagudo-Saavedra","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) share two main characteristics: their high comorbidity between them and other processes - psychiatric disorders and epilepsy - and their high heritability, with a gap between that extracted through family studies (familial heritability, 0.66) and that obtained through genetic studies (genetic heritability, 0.19). There is a strong genetic correlation between NDD and different behavioral disorders, with a familial genetic correlation coefficient estimated at 0.62, suggesting a shared genetic load that encompasses these processes as well as others such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or depression. Missing heritability, mutational load and genetic vulnerability are important concepts for understanding the complex interactions between different NDD and their comorbidities, as well as for illustrating the discrepancy between genetic and familial heritability figures. Genetic vulnerability determines which genes are more likely to cause diseases when mutated; Mutational load accumulates the genetic effects that influence the phenotypic expression of a disorder, and the interaction between different variants (epistasis) and their accumulation, including common variants, can amplify the probability of developing a disorder. Missing heritability illustrates the proportion of heritability not explained by identified genetic variants. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identify common variants associated with diseases, these usually explain only a small part of the total genetic risk. This gap can be related to different factors, including rare variants present in non-coding regions, epigenetic factors that regulate vulnerable genes, and complex interactions between genes.","PeriodicalId":18419,"journal":{"name":"Medicina-buenos Aires","volume":"85 Suppl 1 ","pages":"22-29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143527892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
