Autism
"Autism is a general term used to describe a group of complex developmental brain disorders known as Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD). The other pervasive developmental disorders are PDD-NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder – Not Otherwise Specified), Asperger's Syndrome, Rett Syndrome and Childhood Disintegrative Disorder. Many parents and professionals refer to this group as Autism Spectrum Disorders." - Autism Speaks

The device is a dynamic interspinous spacer for use on the human lumbar spine. The device consists of two pieces and is driven by a sliding motion that projects its center of rotation anteriorly into the intervertebral disc of the motion segment. This unique design restores the degenerated moti... |

Biomarkers and Genetic Tests for Autism and Other Developmental Disorders <p>One way to combat autistic spectrum disorders (ASDs) would be to discover biological markers—or “biomarkers”—for these illnesses, which potentially could revolutionize their rational diagnosis and management. Biomarkers could facilitate diagnosis, lead to earlier ide... |
