Abstract
Stimulants have been available for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) for more than 70 years and are the most effective medications available. During the past 2 decades, several new immediate-release (IR) and extended-release methylphenidate (MPH) and amphetamine (AMPH) formulations have become available. These products differ by dose form (capsules, tablets, oral suspensions, oral disintegrating tablets, and patch), by onset and duration of effect, and by bioavailability. The side effect profile is generally similar for all compounds. Although the products are similar, individual patients may have a better response or tolerability to a particular class (MPH or AMPH) or formulation.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a skin disease characterized by chronic inflammatory condition that shows hallmark presentations in terms of sleep disturbances, pruritus, and psychological stress, and an association with increased attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) risk. A number of studies have suggested for the co-occurrence of the two diseased conditions. In terms of global prevalence, AD and ADHD almost exhibit a parallel increment according to epidemiological data. In addition, recent reports indicate AD to show a temporal association with later onset of ADHD. Although several studies suggest for the potential link between AD and ADHD, currently there is no definitive answer to this regard. Furthermore, epidemiological evidence of co-occurrence does not ascertain a pathophysiological link between the two conditions. The pathophysiological basis behind the association of AD and ADHD also remain poorly elucidated. The objective of this review is to present an extensive account of AD and associated comorbidities with a special attention toward ADHD as well as to elaborate on the mechanisms underlying their association. The review can provide healthcare providers with the recent updates on AD-ADHD association and help them while dealing with such patients. In general, AD and ADHD show a positive association in majority of the cross-sectional studies. However, large longitudinal studies are required to draw any conclusion on the temporal nature of such association.

Abstract
Introduction: Long-acting stimulant formulations are recommended as first-line pharmacotherapy for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Over the past 20 years, extended-release (ER) methylphenidate (MPH) and amphetamine (AMP) formulations have evolved to include varying drug delivery technologies, enantiomers/salts, and dosage forms. All formulations are characterized by a unique pharmacokinetic profile that is closely mirrored by pharmacodynamic response allowing clinicians to individualize therapy based on their patient's clinical needs and dosing preferences.Areas covered: This review provides an update on the pharmacokinetic properties of approved and investigational ER MPH and AMP formulations and highlights pharmacokinetic features that clinicians should consider when selecting a long-acting stimulant.Expert opinion: Since there are no reliable biomarkers that can predict individualized response to long-acting stimulants, clinicians need to consider their distinctive pharmacokinetic properties, including the pharmacokinetic profile, rate and extent of absorption, variability, dose proportionality, bioequivalence, and potential for accumulation. Clinicians also need to understand that certain factors can contribute to increased variability in pharmacokinetics and potentially affect outcomes. Less invasive, high-throughput techniques and novel time-based scales are being developed to advance research on the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationships of stimulants. Model-based pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic approaches can be applied to aid the development of novel formulations and individualize therapy with existing drugs.

Abstract
Transdermal therapeutic systems (TTS) have become a popular method of drug delivery because they allow drugs to be delivered in a rate-controlled manner, avoiding first-pass metabolism and the fluctuating plasma concentrations encountered with oral medications. Unfortunately, TTS may provoke adverse skin reactions as irritating contact dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis: TTS seem to be ideally suited to produce sensitization because they cause occlusion, irritation, due to the repeated placement of the allergen in the same skin location. Since TTS consist of an adhesive, an active pharmaceutical drug and enhancing agents, sensitization may develop owing to one of these three agents. The purpose of this manuscript is to review known responsible allergens of contact dermatitis due to TTS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reports of frequent manifestation of allergic diseases in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have been the subject of mounting clinical interest. However, evidence supporting the association between ADHD and allergies is inconsistent and has yet to be systematically reviewed. The objective of this study was to compile and assess available studies on the association between ADHD and allergic diseases in children. METHODS A comprehensive search using MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane library, and CINAHL databases was completed in 23 November 2015. The inclusion criteria for studies were that the research assessed allergic diseases in children, 18 years of age and younger, with a diagnosis of ADHD and that a distinct comparison group was incorporated. Any comparative studies, encompassing both randomized controlled trials and observational studies, were considered for inclusion. Two review authors independently assessed the quality of the selected studies by the use of validated assessment tools, performed data extraction and conducted meta-analysis according to Cochrane Collaboration guidelines. RESULTS Five eligible studies were included in this systematic review. Of these studies, three were case-control and two were cross sectional studies. A majority of information from the five studies was classified as having low or unclear risk of bias. The meta-analysis showed an association between children with ADHD and asthma compared with the control groups (OR: 1.80, 95% CI: 1.57 - 2.07; five studies, low quality of evidence), but did not indicate an association between food allergy and ADHD (OR: 1.13, 95% CI: 0.88 - 1.47; three studies very low quality of evidence). The odds of experiencing allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and allergic conjunctivitis were slightly higher in children with ADHD compared with control groups, though a substantial statistical heterogeneity was notable in the overall effect estimates. CONCLUSIONS The findings from this review and meta-analysis show that children with ADHD are more likely to have asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and allergic conjunctivitis than their counterparts. Interventions including strategies for managing allergies in children with ADHD would be beneficial.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dopamine agonists are highly effective as adjunctive therapy to levodopa in advanced Parkinson's disease. These drugs have rapidly gained popularity as a monotherapy in the early stages of Parkinson's disease for patients less than 65-70 years old since they are about as effective as levodopa but patients demonstrate a lower tendency to develop motor complications. However, dopamine agonists could have peripheral and central side-effects which are often the reason for the discontinuation of the treatment. AREAS COVERED This article presents an overview of the efficacy and the potential negative effects related to the use of dopamine agonists in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. EXPERT OPINION Beyond the new generation non ergot dopamine agonists, no strong evidences allow the choice of a specific dopamine agonists for Parkinson 's disease treatment and by now dopamine agonists treatment should be tailored on specific adverse events profile.

Abstract
Transdermal administration offers a non-invasive and convenient method for paediatric drug delivery. The competent skin barrier function in term infants and older children limits both water loss and the percutaneous entry of chemicals including drugs; but the smaller doses required by children eases the attainment of therapeutic concentrations. Transdermal patches used in paediatrics include fentanyl, buprenorphine, clonidine, scopolamine, methylphenidate, oestrogens, nicotine and tulobuterol. Some patches have paediatric labelling supported by clinical trials whereas others are used unlicensed. Innovative drug delivery methods, such as microneedles and sonophoresis are being tested for their safety and efficacy; needleless injectors are primarily used to administer growth hormone; and two iontophoretic devices were approved for paediatrics. In contrast, the immature and rapidly evolving skin barrier function in premature neonates represents a significant formulation challenge. Unfortunately, this population group suffers from an absence of approved transdermal formulations, a shortcoming exacerbated by the significant risk of excessive drug exposure via the incompletely formed skin barrier.

Abstract
Rotigotine, a non-ergot dopamine agonist, has been developed as a novel transdermal formulation. The rotigotine transdermal patch has received EMEA marketing authorization for the treatment of adult patients with early or advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) or with moderate to severe restless legs syndrome (RLS). FDA originally granted a marketing authorization for early PD, which was later suspended, and is now studying the authorization for RLS. The aim of this review is to review the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics as well as the clinical efficacy and tolerability of the rotigotine transdermal patch in PD. Source material was identified using a PubMed search for the term 'rotigotine' and PD. Articles published up to January 2011 or abstract submitted to most relevant international neurology congresses were reviewed. The rotigotine transdermal patch is efficacious for the treatment of PD. Tolerability profile appears to be well within the range of that observed with other non-ergot dopamine agonists in PD. Application-site reactions were the most frequent adverse event, and they were considered mild to moderate in the majority of cases. The rotigotine transdermal patch offers a safe and efficacious alternative for the treatment of PD. Further studies should focus on the possibility that continuous dopamine stimulation by means of the transdermal patch has any influence on levodopa-related motor complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize dermal reactions and examine methylphenidate (MPH) sensitization in subjects receiving methylphenidate transdermal system (MTS). METHOD This multicenter, open-label, dose-optimization study utilized MTS doses of 10, 15, 20, and 30 mg in children aged 6 to 12 years, inclusive (N = 305), with a DSM-IV-TR primary diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The study was conducted between January 8, 2007, and August 23, 2007. Subjects wore MTS on their hips for 9 hours per day, alternating sides daily for a total of 7 weeks. Assessments included the Experience of Discomfort scale, Transdermal System Adherence scale, and Dermal Response Scale (DRS; 0 = no irritation, 7 = strong reaction). On-study reevaluations were conducted to characterize DRS scores ≥ 4. Epicutaneous allergy patch testing was conducted for DRS scores ≥ 6, persistent DRS scores ≥ 4, DRS score increase following an assessment of ≥ 4, or DRS scores of 4 or 5 following elective discontinuation. RESULTS Approximately half of subjects experienced definite erythema at the patch site that generally dissipated within 24 hours. Four subjects experienced a DRS score of 4 (1%): erythema in 1 subject resolved on study treatment, 2 cases resolved poststudy and subjects tolerated oral MPH, and 1 subject discontinued treatment. The latter subject was referred for patch testing and was diagnosed with allergic contact sensitization to MPH. CONCLUSIONS Few severe dermal effects were seen with MTS treatment. Dermal reactions were characterized as contact dermatitis and dissipated rapidly. On patch testing, 1 subject (0.3%) manifested sensitization to MPH.

Abstract
Methylphenidate transdermal system uses DOT Matrix™ technology and, once applied to the skin, releases methylphenidate continuously. In the US, methylphenidate transdermal system is indicated for use in the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). According to the results of a randomized, double-blind, multicentre, 7-week trial (core trial), methylphenidate transdermal system 10-30 mg was effective in adolescents aged 13-17 years with ADHD. The mean ADHD-Rating Scale-IV (ADHD-RS-IV) total score (primary endpoint) decreased to a significantly greater extent in adolescents receiving methylphenidate transdermal system than in those receiving placebo transdermal system. Following the core trial, adolescents could subsequently receive methylphenidate transdermal system in an extension study of ≈6 months duration. From the start of the core trial to the end of the extension study, methylphenidate transdermal system recipients demonstrated a significant reduction in the mean ADHD-RS-IV total score. Methylphenidate transdermal system was generally well tolerated in adolescents with ADHD. The vast majority of treatment-emergent adverse events were of mild to moderate severity in both the short-term core trial and the longer-term extension study.

Abstract
Dopamine receptor agonists are indicated for the symptomatic treatment of early, moderate or advanced Parkinson's disease as well as for the reduction of levodopa-related motor complications. Ergolinic dopamine agonists, such as bromocriptine or pergolide, were initially developed and marketed, and then non-ergolinic dopamine agonists, such as pramipexole and ropinirole, were introduced, reducing the risk of drug-induced fibrotic reactions. Once-daily, controlled-release oral and transdermal formulations have been developed aiming at providing more stable 24-hour plasma drug concentrations and more convenient administration. A disease-modifying effect of dopamine agonists has not been demonstrated clinically. As with any other drug, dopamine agonists can also cause adverse drug reactions, which can be related or unrelated to dopaminergic hyperactivation. Dopaminergic reactions include nausea, hallucinations, confusion and orthostatic hypotension, among others, which were readily identified in pre-marketing clinical trials. During post-marketing surveillance, important adverse reactions were identified, such as daytime somnolence, impulse-control disorders and heart valve fibrosis. Other issues, including the efficacy of dopamine agonists for the treatment of non-motor symptoms, remain under evaluation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rotigotine is a non-ergot dopamine agonist that has been developed as a new transdermal formulation, and is indicated for use in early (USA and Europe) and advanced (Europe only) Parkinson's disease (PD). The potential advantages of the rotigotine patch include immediacy of effect onset as intestinal absorption in unneeded, constant drug delivery, and ease of use via application of a once-daily adhesive patch. An interesting element of this profile is constant drug delivery, which may avoid pulsatile dopaminergic stimulation, which has been postulated to be related to the development of motor complications. OBJECTIVE To consider the evidence surrounding the profile of rotigotine and, in particular, whether its constant delivery system offers significant benefits to the treatment of early and advanced PD. METHODS Source material was identified using a PubMed search for the term 'rotigotine' (up to March 2008). The review focuses only on publications related to the rotigotine indication for PD. RESULTS/CONCLUSION The rotigotine transdermal patch demonstrates clinical efficacy, alongside a tolerability profile that appears to be well within the range of that observed with other non-ergot dopamine agonists. The once-daily patch formulation may favour compliance but, in similarity with the other theoretical advantages of constant drug delivery (for example reduced emergence of motor complications, improved tolerance to peripheral AEs), requires further detailed study.
