BipolarD – Bipolar Benefits with Increase n-3 and Decrease n-6 Dietary PUFA
OBJECTIVES: Omega (n)-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are molecular modulators of neurotransmission and inflammation. We hypothesized that plasma concentrations of n-3 PUFAs would be lower and those of n-6 PUFAs higher in subjects with bipolar disorder (BD) compared to healthy controls (HCs), and would correlate with symptom severity in subjects with BD, and that effective treatment would correlate with increased n-3 but lower n-6 PUFA levels. Additionally, we explored clinical correlations and group differences in plasma levels of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids.

Link between ADHD and academic expectations identified by University of Miami researchers
The education system in the United States has changed dramatically since the 1970’s. We have seen a rise in time spent on homework, a significant increase in the percentage of children enrolled in full day programs, and a rise in the time spent on teaching preschool aged children their numbers and letters. A new study out of the University of Miami suggests a correlation between the prevalence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and increasing academic demands on young children.
