methylphenidate and Alexia

methylphenidate has been researched along with Alexia in 26 studies

Methylphenidate: A central nervous system stimulant used most commonly in the treatment of ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER in children and for NARCOLEPSY. Its mechanisms appear to be similar to those of DEXTROAMPHETAMINE. The d-isomer of this drug is referred to as DEXMETHYLPHENIDATE HYDROCHLORIDE.
methylphenidate : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of the two threo isomers of methyl phenyl(piperidin-2-yl)acetate. A central stimulant and indirect-acting sympathomimetic, is used (generally as the hydrochloride salt) in the treatment of hyperactivity disorders in children and for the treatment of narcolepsy.
methyl phenyl(piperidin-2-yl)acetate : A amino acid ester that is methyl phenylacetate in which one of the hydrogens alpha to the carbonyl group is replaced by a piperidin-2-yl group.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" These cases were selected from a prior quantitative study in which three antihistamines (meclizine, cyclizine, dimenhydrinate) and three stimulants (pemoline, methylphenidate, dextroamphetamine) were tested in variable combinations (using a specific clinical method) for favorable responses by 100 children characterized by diagnostic evidence of learning disabilities and cerebellar-vestibular dysfunctioning."3.68Dramatic favorable responses of children with learning disabilities or dyslexia and attention deficit disorder to antimotion sickness medications: four case reports.

"Methylphenidate led to an increase in activation in this region but had no effect on task performance."2.71The effects of methylphenidate on neural systems of attention in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. ( Gore, JC; Marchione, KE; Shafritz, KM; Shaywitz, BA; Shaywitz, SE, 2004)

" Mean dosage levels, individually titrated by the team psychiatrist, were highest for the reading-disabled group, lowest for those with suspected attention disorders."2.65Effects of methylphenidate on selective and sustained attention in hyperactive, reading-disabled, and presumably attention-disordered boys. ( Ackerman, PT; Dykman, RA; McCray, DS, 1980)
"Although dyslexia is widely diagnosed and affects a very important portion of the childhood population, a conceptual definition of the condition is still lacking."1.35[Dyslexia: a disease, a disorder or something else?]. ( Artigas-Pallarés, J, 2009)
" The augmenters were blindly titrated at significantly lower dosage levels than the reducers."1.27Auditory ERP augmentation-reduction and methylphenidate dosage needs in attention and reading disordered children. ( Ackerman, PT; Dykman, RA; Holcomb, PJ; McCray, DS, 1983)
