Guidance Provided for Management of Pediatric Eating Disorders
The authors note that pediatricians should be knowledgeable about risk factors and early signs and symptoms of eating disorders in male and female children and adolescents.
Eating Disorders
Obesity, Eating Disorders More Common in Sexual-, Gender-Minority Youth
Sexual- and gender-minority (SGM) youth are more likely to have obesity and binge eating disorder versus non-SGM peers
BMI, Neuroticism, and Conduct Problems Associated With Future Eating Disorders
Researchers conducted a population-based, longitudinal cohort study of data from adolescent participants in the IMAGEN Study, seeking to identify early associations with the development of eating disorders.
Decreased “Protein Kinase A” Activity Lowered Calorie Intake and Increased Physical Activity
Prkar2a deficiency led to decreased habenular PKA enzymatic activity and impaired dendritic localization of PKA catalytic subunits in MHb neurons. Re-expression of Prkar2a in the Hb rescued this phenotype confirming differential roles for Prkar2a in regulating the drives for palatable foods and voluntary exercise.
Gene Identified in Mice That Controls Food Cravings and Desire to Exercise
The purpose of this study was to determine if the habenula integrates rewards with cognition and emotion in obesity and susceptibility to energy imbalance as it does in the case of substance abuse.
Higher Calorie Refeeding Approach Superior for the Treatment of Anorexia-Associated Malnutrition
How does higher-calorie refeeding compare with the standard of care, lower-calorie refeeding, for malnourished patients with anorexia nervosa?
Digital CBT Effective for College Students with Eating Disorders
While eating disorders are common, serious psychiatric disorders on college campuses, most affected individuals do not receive treatment. Digital interventions have the potential to bridge the gap.
COVID-19 Especially Challenging for People with Eating Disorders
Participants in the United States and the Netherlands completed an online survey that evaluated the impact of COVID-19 on situational circumstances, eating disorder symptoms, eating disorder treatment, and general well-being.
Yoga Helps Generalized Anxiety Disorder but Not as Much as CBT
A new randomized controlled clinical trial evaluated whether yoga and cognitive behavioral therapy are each more effective than stress education to treat generalized anxiety disorder.
Does Microlevel Decoupling of Negative Affect and Binge Eating Impact Treatment Outcomes?
Stronger de-coupling effects were anticipated in using integrated cognitive affective therapy for treatment of eating disorders, as compared to cognitive behavioral therapy guided self-help.
