TLDR
The consensus expert opinion of the panel was that individuals with ASDs deserve the same thoroughness and standard of care in the diagnostic workup and treatment of gastrointestinal concerns as should occur for patients without ASDs.Abstract:
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are common and clinically heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorders. Gastrointestinal disorders and associated symptoms are commonly reported in individuals with ASDs, but key issues such as the prevalence and best treatment of these conditions are incompletely understood. A central difficulty in recognizing and characterizing gastrointestinal dysfunction with ASDs is the communication difficulties experienced by many affected individuals. A multidisciplinary panel reviewed the medical literature with the aim of generating evidence-based recommendations for diagnostic evaluation and management of gastrointestinal problems in this patient population. The panel concluded that evidence-based recommendations are not yet available. The consensus expert opinion of the panel was that individuals with ASDs deserve the same thoroughness and standard of care in the diagnostic workup and treatment of gastrointestinal concerns as should occur for patients without ASDs. Care providers should be aware that problem behavior in patients with ASDs may be the primary or sole symptom of the underlying medical condition, including some gastrointestinal disorders. For these patients, integration of behavioral and medical care may be most beneficial. Priorities for future research are identified to advance our understanding and management of gastrointestinal disorders in persons with ASDs.read more

Extracting autism spectrum disorder data from the electronic health record
TL;DR: This study identifies challenges inherent in designing inclusive algorithms for identifying individuals with ASD and demonstrates the utility of employing multiple extractions to improve the completeness and quality of EHR data when conducting research.

Disease-in-a-dish: the contribution of patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell technology to regenerative rehabilitation.
TL;DR: Given that restoration of normal function is a driving force in rehabilitation medicine, the authors believe that this drug discovery platform focusing on phenotypic rescue will become a key contributor to therapeutic compounds in regenerative rehabilitation.

Prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms in Angelman syndrome.
Laura W. Glassman,Olivia Grocott,Portia A. Kunz,Anna M. Larson,Garrett C. Zella,Kriston Ganguli,Ronald L. Thibert +6 more
TL;DR: The majority of patients’ medical records indicated at least one symptom of gastrointestinal dysfunction, with constipation and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) the most common, and the frequency of constipation is consistent among all genetic subtypes while early feeding issues appear to mainly affect those with deletions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subphenotype-dependent disease markers for diagnosis and personalized treatment of autism spectrum disorders
TL;DR: Recent genome-wide (genomic) approaches to the identification of disease markers that may be used not only for diagnosis of ASD, but also for the informed development of novel drugs that target specific core symptoms of ASD are reviewed.

TL;DR: This study applied the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, and Sustainment framework to characterize determinants of implementing integrated care practices for ASD to confirm need for a tailored approach for linking children with ASD to appropriate mental health treatment.

TL;DR: A system for grading the quality of evidence and the strength of recommendations that can be applied across a wide range of interventions and contexts is developed, and a summary of the approach from the perspective of a guideline user is presented.

Allison A. Hedley,Cynthia L. Ogden,Clifford L. Johnson,Margaret D. Carroll,Lester R. Curtin,Katherine M. Flegal +5 more
TL;DR: The NHANES results indicate continuing disparities by sex and between racial/ethnic groups in the prevalence of overweight and obesity among adults and overweight among children, using the most recent national data of height and weight measurements.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated a consecutive series of children with chronic enterocolitis and regressive developmental disorder, and identified associated gastrointestinal disease and developmental regression in a group of previously normal children, which was generally associated in time with possible environmental triggers.

Neuroglial activation and neuroinflammation in the brain of patients with autism
Diana L. Vargas,Caterina Nascimbene,Caterina Nascimbene,Chitra Krishnan,Andrew W. Zimmerman,Andrew W. Zimmerman,Carlos A. Pardo +6 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that innate neuroimmune reactions play a pathogenic role in an undefined proportion of autistic patients, suggesting that future therapies might involve modifying neuroglial responses in the brain.
