Non-Helium Magnetoencephalography in Autism Spectrum Disorder
The goal of this observational study is to learn how brain activity in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) differs from typical developing children using magnetoencephalography (MEG). The main questions this study aims to answer are: Do children with ASD show different patterns of neural oscillation compared to typically developing …
Intestinal Permeability in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
In recent years, increasing attention has been directed toward the role of the gut-brain axis in the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Among the multiple contributing factors, the integrity of the intestinal barrier appears to play a crucial role. Enhanced paracellular permeability ("leaky gut") may allow …
DSM-5 Personality Disorders in Adults with Autism
Rationale: Self-report measures are frequently used for research and clinical assessments of adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, there has been little research examining agreement between self-report and informant-report in this population. Reliable self-report measures are essential for conducting research with and providing high quality clinical services for adults …
Gut-oral Axis Microbiome in Autism Spectrum Disorders
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopment disorder characterized by impairment in social interaction, communication, and behavior, as well as sensory challenges. In addition, secondary symptoms can appear, such as gastrointestinal disorders. Gut microbiota has an important role in the harvest of nutrients and energy from our diet. It influences …
Speech of Kids After Neonatal Encephalopathy
The goal of this ambispective cohort study is to reveal the early indicators of delayed language development in children born with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). We will examine the prognostic accuracy of different biomarkers, with a special focus on the ADC values of the corpus callosum. The main questions it aims …
Quantitative Sensory Testing to Study Pain Perception in Autism
This study aims at assess sensory perception, and pain perception, in neurodivergent children and adolescent in the autism spectrum. To achieve this goal, the quantitive sensory testing (QST), a controlled and replicable protocol, will be used, to assess perception in different sensory modalities: heat sensations, mechanical detection threshold and pain …
Autism Spectrum Disorder: BAEPs Findings and Behavioral Responses to Sounds
There are many studies in the literature that study the sensory profile of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which can essentially have three types of behavior: (1) Registration, (2) Seeking, (3) Sensitivity, and (4) Avoiding. However, there are few studies dedicated to the study of the sensory profile of …
