Views of German mental health professionals on the use of digital mental health interventions for eating disorders: a qualitative interview study
ConclusionsMental health professionals for EDs show positive attitudes towards DMHIs, however many barriers to the integration in routine care were observed. The highest potential was seen for the use of DMHIs in addition to outpatient care and in aftercare. Specific requirements for DMHIs are related to different areas of the healthcare spectrum and for the different symptom profiles in anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. Targeted DMHIs are needed and appropriate especially for concepts of blended care. (Source: Journal of Eating Disorders)

Appetitive Traits in Children May Be Associated With Disordered Eating in Adolescence
Children who show greater food responsiveness in early childhood have a higher risk of experiencing eating disorder symptoms in early adolescence, while those who eat more slowly have a lower risk of such symptoms, according to astudy published this week inThe Lancet Child& Adolescent Health.“Eating disorders frequently coexist with other psychiatric disorders and have high mortality rates,” wrote Ivonne Derks, Ph.D., of Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and colleagues. “Because these disorders are difficult to treat, focus is shifting towards prevention and early intervention when symptoms or epi...

This article begins with an overview of twin research in Brazil, initiated by the University of São Paulo Panel of Twins. I met with many new research collaborators and students while on a fall 2023 four-city lecture tour in that country. A meeting with a world-famous surgeon who recently separated craniopagus conjoined twin pairs is also described. This overview is followed by summaries of twin research on binge eating, twins' physical outcomes linked to different diets, working conditions and sickness absence in Swedish Twins and facial morphology differences in monozygotic twins.

Further evidence regarding the convergent and discriminant validity of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-3 (MMPI-3) scores in the preoperative psychological evaluation of patients seeking metabolic and bariatric surgery
CONCLUSIONS: MMPI-3 scale scores perform as well as their Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 Restructured Form counterparts. Newer scales, such as Eating Concerns and Impulsivity, perform particularly well in the assessment of various eating behaviors.PMID:38373868 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2024.01.006 (Source: Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery)

Web-based guided self-help cognitive behavioral therapy –enhanced versus treatment as usual for binge-eating disorder: a randomized controlled trial protocol
Binge-eating disorder (BED) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of eating a large amount of food in a discrete period of time while experiencing a loss of control. Cognitive behavioral therapy-enhanced (CBT-E) is a recommended treatment for binge-eating disorder and is typically offered through 20 sessions. Although binge-eating disorder is highly responsive to CBT-E, the cost of treating these patients is high. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate the efficacy of low-intensity and low-cost treatments for binge-eating disorder that can be offered as a first line of treatment and be widely dissemin...

Treatment of Binge-Eating Disorder Across the Lifespan: An Updated Review of the Literature and Considerations for Future Research
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThe present review describes the recent literature on treatment for binge-eating disorder (BED) in adults and youth, with a particular focus on research gaps, emerging treatments, and future research directions.Recent FindingsEvidence supports the efficacy of several treatment modalities in adults, including self-help treatment, clinician-led psychotherapy, and pharmacotherapy; the largest effect sizes have been found for psychotherapies, most of which were cognitive-behavioral in orientation. Adapted psychotherapies for youth also show promise but lack a robust body of evidence. Predictors, modera...

The Metabolism of the Orexin-1 Selective Receptor Antagonist Nivasorexant
Xenobiotica. 2024 Feb 15:1-15. doi: 10.1080/00498254.2024.2319811. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACT1. Nivasorexant was the first orexin-1 selective receptor antagonist entering clinical development. Despite encouraging preclinical evidence in animal models, a proof-of-concept trial in binge eating patients recently failed to demonstrate its clinical utility in this population.2. Across species, nivasorexant clearance was driven by metabolism along seven distinct pathways, five of which were hydroxylation reactions in various locations of the molecule. The exact sites of metabolism were identified by means of mass spectrometr...
