Secular trends in risk factors for adolescent anxiety and depression symptoms: the Young-HUNT studies 1995 –2019, Norway
AbstractIn recent decades, increases in mental health problems in adolescents have been reported from several large population-based surveys. This raises questions about changes in underlying risk and protective factors that can inform future intervention strategies. Population data were collected from 1995 to 2019 in three waves of the Young-HUNT studies in Norway to map decennial trends in the prevalence of established risk factors for, and their associations with, adolescent mental health problems. All adolescents (aged 13 –19 years) attending lower and upper secondary school in the county of Trøndelag were invited,...

Pediatric mandibular chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis: A case report with 12 years of radiologic follow-up
Imaging Sci Dent. 2024 Mar;54(1):93-104. doi: 10.5624/isd.20230189. Epub 2024 Feb 6.ABSTRACTChronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is histologically characterized by nonspecific osteitis. This inflammatory disorder, which lacks an infectious origin, typically presents with chronic pain and swelling at the affected site that can persist for months or even years. However, it is rare for CNO to affect the mandible. A 10-year-old girl presented with a primary complaint of pain in her left mandible. She had no significant medical or dental history. On examination, swelling was visible on the left buccal side, and imaging reve...

Preventing eating pathology among elite adolescent ballet dancers: a pilot trial of the Athlete Body Project
Eat Disord. 2024 Apr 4:1-20. doi: 10.1080/10640266.2024.2337525. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAdolescent ballet dancers are commonly recognized as aesthetic athletes who are at higher risk for body dissatisfaction, disordered eating, and eating disorders. Although athletic participation can generally protect against negative mental and physical health outcomes, idealization of a body ideal specific to ballet can confer unique vulnerability for eating pathology. Despite this known vulnerability, rigorous efforts to prevent eating pathology among young dancers are lacking. Previously, we reported on a trial of the Female At...
