Exploring Pathways between Internalized Weight Bias, Eating Disorder Psychopathology, and Weight Loss Expectations in Treatment-Seeking Adults with Binge Eating and Obesity.

Purpose: Individuals with obesity and binge eating face weight stigma, which can lead to internalized weight bias (IWB), reinforce eating disorder (ED) pathology, and promote unrealistic weight loss expectations (WLE). Greater understanding of pathways between IWB, ED pathology, and WLE could inform interventions to promote healthy WLE and reduce IWB. This study explored pathways through which IWB directly and indirectly relates to eating pathology and WLE in treatment-seeking adults with obesity and recurrent binge eating.

Partnering With Food Pantries to Disseminate and Implement Eating Disorder Interventions.

Objective: Food insecurity is associated with eating disorder psychopathology. This Spotlight describes why food pantries could be promising partners for disseminating and implementing eating disorder interventions.

Method: Researchers are increasingly collaborating with community-based organizations to improve access to health interventions, because community-based organizations overcome structural barriers to traditional healthcare by being embedded physically in the communities they serve, convenient to visit, regularly frequented, and led by trusted community members.

Increasing digital mental health reach and uptake via youth partnerships.

Youth in the United States are facing an unprecedented mental health crisis. Yet, brick-and-mortar mental healthcare, such as face-to-face therapy, is overwhelmingly inaccessible to youth despite research advances in youth mental health. Digital Mental Health tools (DMH), the use of technologies to deliver mental health assessments and interventions, may help to increase mental healthcare accessibility.

Temporal discounting modifies the effect of microtemporal hedonic hunger on food consumption: An ecological momentary assessment study.

Introduction: Steeper delay discounting, or preference for small rewards sooner versus larger rewards later, has been linked to disinhibited eating and obesity. The overconsumption of food may also be motivated by hedonic hunger, or the drive to consume foods for pleasure rather than energy need. The present study hypothesized that hedonic hunger would modify the relation between temporal discounting and palatable food consumption.

Validity of a Global Positioning System-Based Algorithm and Consumer Wearables for Classifying Active Trips in Children and Adults.

Objective: To investigate the convergent validity of a global positioning system (GPS)-based and two consumer-based measures with trip logs for classifying pedestrian, cycling, and vehicle trips in children and adults.

Methods: Participants ( = 34) wore a Qstarz GPS tracker, Fitbit Alta, and Garmin vivosmart 3 on multiple days and logged their outdoor pedestrian, cycling, and vehicle trips. Logged trips were compared with device-measured trips using the Personal Activity Location Measurement System (PALMS) GPS-based algorithms, Fitbit's SmartTrack, and Garmin's Move IQ.

Location-specific psychosocial and environmental correlates of physical activity and sedentary time in young adolescents: preliminary evidence for location-specific approaches from a cross-sectional observational study.

Background: A better understanding of the extent to which psychosocial and environmental correlates of physical activity are specific to locations would inform intervention optimization.

Purpose: To investigate cross-sectional associations of location-general and location-specific variables with physical activity and sedentary time in three common locations adolescents spend time.

Methods: Adolescents (N = 472,M = 14.

The development of a clinical algorithm for the diagnosis of tumours in the parapharyngeal space. A systematic review.

Introduction: Parapharyngeal space (PPS) is defined as a deep space, located around the upper pharynx, in the shape of an inverted pyramid. Primary tumours in this region are rare, accounting for 0.5% of head and neck neoplasms, and most are benign.

Ultrasound-guided Drainage vs Surgical Drainage of Deep Neck Space Abscesses: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Introduction: The most common cause of deep neck infections is dental infection. They are diagnosed with physical examination, imaging studies, ultrasound, or computed tomography. Surgical drainage of collections should always be performed early in a classical or percutaneous way, depending on the case.

Adding Family Digital Supports to Classroom-Based Physical Activity Interventions to Target In- and Out-of-School Activity: An Evaluation of the Stay Active Intervention during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Remotely delivered interventions are promising for reaching large numbers of people, though few have targeted multiple levels of influence such as schools and families. This study evaluated two versions (arms) of a remotely delivered classroom-based physical activity (CBPA) intervention. One arm solely included remote CBPA; the other included remote CBPA and mobile health (mHealth) family supports.

Meta-Analysis of Adherence Promotion Interventions in Pediatric Asthma.

Background: Youth with asthma commonly have suboptimal adherence to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). It is critical to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of ICS adherence promotion interventions and discern which techniques are most effective.

Objective: This study aims to (1) quantify the extent to which interventions improve ICS adherence in pediatric asthma, (2) explore differences in effect size estimates based on intervention and study characteristics, and (3) characterize the risk of bias across interventions.

Ultrasound-guided drainage vs surgical drainage of deep neck space abscesses: A randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: The most common cause of deep neck infections is dental infection. They are diagnosed with physical examination, imaging studies, ultrasound, or computed tomography. Surgical drainage of collections should always be performed early in a classical or percutaneous way, depending on the case.

LigaSure™ haemorrhoidectomy and the risk of postoperative bleeding.

Aim: LigaSure™ is an electro-surgical device that has increasingly been utilized in haemorrhoid surgery. However, recent literature has highlighted a possible increased risk of delayed postoperative bleeding following LigaSure haemorrhoidectomy (LH). We aim to evaluate the rates of postoperative bleeding following LigaSure compared to Ferguson (closed) haemorrhoidectomy (FH).
