Medical instability in typical and atypical adolescent anorexia nervosa: a systematic review and meta-analysis
AbstractThis review investigates the relationship between weight and risk of medical instability (specifically bradycardia, hypotension, hypothermia, and hypophosphatemia) in adolescents with typical and atypical anorexia nervosa. Atypical anorexia nervosa, listed as an example under the DSM-5 category of Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorders (OSFED), describes patients who are not clinically underweight but otherwise meet criteria for anorexia nervosa. There is a lack of empirical evidence exploring medical complications in adolescents presenting with atypical anorexia nervosa. The small number of studies that do e...

Eating disorders and oral health: a scoping review
ConclusionMost of the research on the relationship between eating disorders and oral health examines the impact of eating disordered behaviors. There is a significantly smaller literature on the knowledge and training of oral health professionals related to eating disorders and individuals with eating disorders ’ experiences of oral health care. Research on education and training of oral health professionals should be expanded globally, taking into consideration the suitability of interventions for diverse models of oral health education and service delivery. Further, there is an opportunity for eating d isorder professi...

Low intensity psychological interventions for the treatment of feeding and eating disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionOverall, findings suggest that low intensity psychological interventions can successfully treat eating disorder symptoms. Few potential moderators had a statistically significant effect on outcome. The number of studies for many comparisons was low and the methodological quality of the studies was poor, therefore results should be interpreted with caution. More research is needed to establish the effectiveness of low intensity psychological interventions for children and young people, as well as for individuals with anorexia nervosa, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder, pica and rumination disorder.

The mediating role of anxiety and depression between problematic social media use and bulimia nervosa among Lebanese university students
ConclusionThe current paper highlights the relationship that social media use has on BN and other aspects of mental health such as anxiety and depression in Lebanon. Future studies should replicate the mediation analysis conducted in the current study while taking into account other eating disorders. Additional investigations of BN and its correlates must strive to improve the comprehension of these associations ’ pathways through designs that allow to draw temporal frameworks, in order to efficiently treat this eating disorder and prevent its negative outcomes.

A daily diary study of self-compassion and adaptive coping behaviours in women with symptoms of bulimia nervosa
ConclusionsResults suggest that self-compassion may help individuals with symptoms of BN cope with challenges in their daily life more adaptively, an integral component of positive mental health. The present study is among the first to suggest that the benefits of self-compassion for individuals with eating disorder symptoms may lie not only in facilitating reduced eating pathology, as evidenced by prior research, but also in promoting positive mental health. More broadly, findings underscore the potential value of interventions designed to build self-compassion in individuals with eating disorder symptoms. (Source: Journa...
