Epub 2023 Aug 14.ABSTRACTAnorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) are easily missed in the emergency department, because patients may present with either low, normal, or increased BMI. Careful examination for signs of purging and excessive use of laxatives and promotility agents is important. Careful examination for and documentation of dental erosions, posterior oropharyngeal bruising, Russel's sign, and salivary and parotid gland inflammation are clues to the purging behavior. Treatment for AN should include cognitive behavioral therap...

The multisensory mind: a systematic review of multisensory integration processing in Anorexia and Bulimia Nervosa
AbstractIndividuals with Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa present alterations in the way they experience their bodies. Body experience results from a multisensory integration process in which information from different sensory domains and spatial reference frames is combined into a coherent percept. Given the critical role of the body in the onset and maintenance of both Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa, we conducted a systematic review to examine multisensory integration abilities of individuals affected by these two conditions and investigate whether they exhibit impairments in crossmodal integration. We searched...

Development and initial validation of a self-report measure to assess eating disorder-specific interoceptive perception.
Psychological Assessment, Vol 36(2), Feb 2024, 162-174; doi:10.1037/pas0001283Interoceptive deficits—particularly with respect to the perception of emotions, hunger, and satiety—constitute important targets for intervention in eating disorders (EDs). Suitable self-report measures to identify these deficits, however, are lacking. We, therefore, developed and validated a multidimensional questionnaire to assess eating disorder-specific interoceptive perception (EDIP) in terms of the ability to perceive and discriminate between emotions, hunger, and satiety. In two independent samples with a total of 2058 individuals (22....

Shared genetic influences between eating disorders and gastrointestinal disease in a large, population-based sample of adult women and men
CONCLUSIONS: Comorbidity between EDs and gastrointestinal disease may be explained by overlap in genetic influences, potentially including inflammatory genes implicated in both types of disorders. Screening for gastrointestinal disease in people with EDs, and EDs in those with gastrointestinal disease, is warranted.PMID:37920985 | DOI:10.1017/S003329172300301X (Source: Psychological Medicine)

Effectiveness of an e-Health Quasi-Randomized Controlled Universal Prevention Program for Eating Disorders in Spanish Adolescents
This study sought to examine the short-term effectiveness of a universal e-Health psychoeducational prevention program for EDs compared to a control (non-intervention) group in Spanish adolescents. Using a quasi-randomized trial design, a total of 161 [% girls: 45.96; Mage(SD)  = 12.43 (0.43)] adolescents from 5 participating schools were allocated to two intervention arms: (1) psychoeducational intervention (n = 79) and (2) wait-list control (n = 82). The intervention was delivered over 3 months through 3 modules that were accessible 24/7 and 3 school sessio ns guided by the students´ tutors focusing on nutr...

Uncovering neural pathways underlying bulimia nervosa: resting-state neural connectivity disruptions correlate with maladaptive eating behaviors
CONCLUSION: We revealed that the right SPL undergoes reorganization with respect to specific brain regions at the whole-brain level in BN. In addition, our results suggest a correlation between brain reorganization and maladaptive eating behavior. These findings may provide useful information to better understand the neural mechanisms of BN.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: V, descriptive study.PMID:37899387 | DOI:10.1007/s40519-023-01617-5 (Source: Eating and weight disorders : EWD)

CONCLUSION: The diversity of birdcalls reminds us of the individuality of eating disorders. Health practitioners are reminded that just as the Tūī, Kākā and Kererū possess their own unique birdcalls, so do Māori with eating disorders and their whānau have their own experiences, needs and required treatment responses.PMID:37888910 | DOI:10.1177/00048674231207583 (Source: The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry)
