	UNODC - Bulletin on Narcotics - 1979 Issue 3 - 005
		Hyperkinetic children represent a very heterogeneous group of subjects in terms of their behavioural profiles.
		Since the hyperkinetic syndrome involves dysfunction of multiple parameters, possibly at the neurological level in brain, all of these should be taken into consideration during the course of diagnosis.
		Since hyperkinesis usually refers to the syndrome of disordered behaviour in children, the modification of behaviour towards normal is socially desirable.

	Psychiatric Disorders in Persons with Down Syndrome
		In general, the studies showed that people with Down syndrome appear to be susceptible to a spectrum of mental disorders different to that of other mentally retarded persons.
		One was diagnosed with infantile autism and 2 with autistic-like characteristics (triad of social and language impairments).
		Of the total of 22 children with Down syndrome, then, 3 (13.6%) were found to have infantile autism or autistic-like characteristics.

		The present invention relates to a treatment of the "hyperkinetic syndrome" in children, wherein a medicine containing between 50 and 200 mg of 3-morpholino-ethylamino 4-methyl 6-phenylpyridazine is administered daily to patients, by oral route.
		A method for the treatment of hyperkinetic syndrome in children, comprising orally administering daily to the hyperactive child from 50 mg to 200 mg of 3-morpholinoethylamino-4-methyl-6-phenylpyridazine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

	Hyperkinetic Syndrome Assessment Method (HKSD)
		Aside of the child's performance capacity in the intelligence dimension of perceptual speed, the dimensions of work style reflexivity, adaptation to difficulty, receptiveness towards motivation and adjustment to feedback are measured and permit a subtly differentiated examination for causes of inefficiencies in performance at school.
		Additionally, in contrast to common questionnaires or ratings by significant others, a psychometrically objective screening of work style related aspects of the hyperkinetic syndrome can be carried out.
		Hence an objective diagnostic of those aspects of the hyperkinetic syndrome which come up in achievement-oriented situations (e.g.

	Caffeine: Psychological Effects, Use & Abuse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		A study by Schnackenberg (1975) showed that 200 to 300 mg of caffeine was similar in effect to methylpheniclate in treating hyperkinetic impulse disorder secondary to minimal brain dysfunction syndrome.
		Hyperkinetic children have a slower reaction time, are less able to maintain attention and have a lower rate of correct responses on a vigilance performance task as compared to normal children.
		Thus, diagnosis of the restless legs syndrome, as has also been observed in certain psychological disorders, may simply be the result of overdosage of ubiquitous caffeine.

	CHILD PSYCHIATRY I (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		One of the earliest terms still in use is "hyperkinesis" or "hyperkinetic syndrome," and that nominal strain was adapted to the diagnosis of hyperkinetic reaction (conceived of in psychodynamic terms as a reaction to some stress) in the second edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-II).
		"Hyperkinetic" is the Greek derivative meaning "overactive," for which the Latin derivative would be "superactive." For unknown reasons the hybrid term "hyperactive" sprang up by the early 1970s and crowded the parent terms out of common usage and eventually out of DSM terminology.
		The syndrome is undoubtedly a final common symptomatic expression for a variety of pathologies.

	The Virtual Hospital: Clinical Psychopharmacology Seminar 1996-1997: Tardive Dyskinesia
		Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a syndrome of hyperkinetic involuntary movements characterized by a mix of orofacial dyskinesia, tics, chorea and/or athetosis (American College of Neuropsychopharmacology FDA Task Force, 1973).
		The syndrome has most often been seen in young patients and has a widespread and varied localization including the extremities and the trunk, whereas TD preferentially occurs in elderly patients and is confined to the oral region.
		It is well known that hyperkinetic movements, including withdrawal TD in younger patients, are mainly confined to the extremities, whereas a rising tendency to oral preponderance of hyperkinesia is seen with increasing age, both for TD and for L-dopa-induced hyperkinesia in Parkinson's disease.

		The confusion surrounding this entity is reflected in the variety of terms used in the past: hyperkinetic reaction of childhood, hyperkinetic syndrome, hyperactivity child syndrome, minimal brain damage, minimal brain dysfunction (MBD), minimal cerebral dysfunction, minor cerebral dysfunction, and functional behavior problem (FBP), among others.
		In 1957, Laufer described the “hyperkinetic impulse disorder,” which he believed was caused by a maturational lag in the development of the central nervous system.
		He asserted that stimulant drugs were the treatment of choice for this disorder, and postulated that they acted by stimulating the midbrain, placing that they acted by stimulating the midbrain, placing it in a more synchronous balance with the outer cerebral cortex.

		Thus, it is important for the practicing physician to understand the characteristics and treatment of common hyperkinetic movement disorders, including tremor, dystonia, myoclonus, chorea, ballismus, tics, and Tourette's syndrome.
		This similarity is partly due to our limited drug armamentarium for hyperkinetic movement disorders, but it also reflects the fact that overlapping neurochemical principles and pathways are involved in the generation of the abnormal movements.
		Another similarity among movement disorders is that all of those mentioned can manifest as a tardive syndrome, which sometimes occurs after exposure to a dopamine antagonist, such as a neuroleptic drug.

	The Prevalence and Cross-
		Lowest rates are obtained with the ICD diagnostic classification of hyperkinetic syndrome and highest rates with the DSM-IV classification of ADHD.
		Such findings suggest that although different cultures conceptualize the ADHD syndrome in similar ways, the threshold for deviance, among both clinicians and other informants, may have strong cultural determinants, thereby producing an informant effect that could have a strong bearing on differences in rates.
		Other studies are cited that provide validation of the syndrome in different cultures from both a statistical and a clinical perspective.
