- Objective: To examine ADHD symptom persistence and subtype stability among substance use disorder (SUD) treatment seekers. Method: In all, 1,276 adult SUD treatment seekers were assessed for childhood and adult ADHD using Conners’ Adult ADHD Diagnostic Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed.; DSM-IV; CAADID). A total of 290 (22.7%) participants met CAADID criteria for childhood ADHD and comprise the current study sample. Results: Childhood ADHD persisted into adulthood in 72.8% ( n = 211) of cases. ADHD persistence was significantly associated with a family history of ADHD, and the presence of conduct disorder and antisocial personality disorder. The combined subtype was the most stable into adulthood (78.6%) and this stability was significantly associated with conduct disorder and past treatment of ADHD. Conclusion: ADHD is highly prevalent and persistent among SUD treatment seekers and is associated with the more severe phenotype that is also less likely to remit. Routine screening and follow-up assessment for ADHD is indicated to enhance treatment management and outcomes.

Risk Factors for Borderline Personality Disorder in Treatment Seeking Patients with a Substance Use Disorder: An International Multicenter Study
- 2015
-
In: European addiction research. - : S. Karger AG. - 1421-9891 .- 1022-6877. ; 21:4, s. 188-194

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Borderline personality disorder (BPD) and substance use disorders (SUDs) often co-occur, partly because they share risk factors. In this international multicenter study, risk factors for BPD were examined for SUD patients. In total, 1,205 patients were comprehensively examined by standardized interviews and questionnaires on psychiatric diagnosis and risk factors, and it was found that 1,033 (85.7%) had SUDs without BPD (SUD) and 172 (14.3%) had SUD with BPD (SUD + BPD). SUD + BPD patients were significantly younger, more often females and more often diagnosed with comorbid adult attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. SUD + BPD patients did not differ from SUD patients on most risk factors typical for SUD such as maternal use of drugs during pregnancy or parents having any SUD. However, SUD + BPD patients did have a higher risk of having experienced emotional and physical abuse, neglect, or family violence in childhood compared to SUD patients, suggesting that child abuse and family violence are BPD-specific risk factors in patients with SUDs.

325 GHz and 650 GHz Dual-polarisation receivers Concept
- 2022
-
In: 32nd International Symposium of Space Terahertz Technology, ISSTT 2022.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The integrated dual-polarisation receivers utilize a dual probe concept, efficiently integrating the antenna and MMIC package environment which allows for polarisation discrimination without the use of bulky and lossy external orthomode transducers. This concept increases the sensitivity of the instrument and reduces its size, enabling the development of future earth observation arrays. Omnisys Instruments AB (Sweden) and Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden) are working to demonstrate state-of-the-art dual polarisation capability with two integrated receiver modules at 325 GHz and 650 GHz.
