Early-onset anorexia nervosa: a scoping review and management guidelines.

Background: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a serious multifactorial eating disorder characterized by insufficient nutritional intake to maintain a minimum normal weight for one's age and height, a fear of gaining weight and a distorted body image. It affects mainly adolescents, but a decreased age at diagnosis has been reported, leading to the definition of a rare form of AN called early-onset or prepubertal anorexia nervosa (EOAN; ORPHA 525738), with reported epidemiological and clinical specificity. Current knowledge and specific treatments for this particular condition remain scarce.

Distinct social behavior and inter-brain connectivity in Dyads with autistic individuals.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is defined by distinctive socio-cognitive behaviors that deviate from typical patterns. Notably, social imitation skills appear to be particularly impacted, manifesting early on in development. This paper compared the behavior and inter-brain dynamics of dyads made up of two typically developing (TD) participants with mixed dyads made up of ASD and TD participants during social imitation tasks.

Early-onset restrictive food intake disorders in children: a latent class analysis.

The two most frequent early-onset restrictive food intake disorders are early-onset anorexia nervosa (EOAN) and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorders (ARFID). Although the core symptoms of EOAN (i.e.

Comparison between continued inpatient treatment versus day patient treatment after short inpatient care in early onset anorexia nervosa (COTIDEA trial): a study protocol for a non-inferiority randomised controlled trial.

Background: In children with early-onset anorexia nervosa (first symptoms before 13 years old, EO-AN), experts recommend initial outpatient treatment but in-patient treatment (IP) is frequently indicated due to acute medical instability or for those who have not improved with outpatient treatment. This IP can target either a partial weight restauration or a total weight normalization (return to the previous BMI growth trajectory). There are no evidence in the literature on which is the better therapeutic option in EOAN.

Inpatient target discharge weight for early-onset anorexia nervosa: Restoring premorbid BMI percentile to improve height prognosis.

Objective: Early-onset anorexia nervosa (EO-AN) is characterized by restricted food intake leading to low body weight, emerging before 14 years old. Most patients reaching a target body mass index (BMI) around the 25th percentile at hospitalization discharge display an incomplete prospective height catch-up. A better understanding of height prognosis determinants is required.

Is SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion a risk factor for severe and acute psychiatric symptoms in children?

Aims: Since the beginning of the COVID pandemic, studies reported an increase in children's mental health issues and questioned the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on psychiatric symptoms.

Methods: We compared COVID seroconversion in children hospitalized with acute, severe psychiatric symptoms (n = 52) with the sex- and age-matched control group (n = 52) living in the same low-income geographic area and sampled during the same time period.

Results: Contrary to our hypothesis, we observed less seroconverted children with psychiatric conditions 9.

HyPyP: a Hyperscanning Python Pipeline for inter-brain connectivity analysis.

The bulk of social neuroscience takes a 'stimulus-brain' approach, typically comparing brain responses to different types of social stimuli, but most of the time in the absence of direct social interaction. Over the last two decades, a growing number of researchers have adopted a 'brain-to-brain' approach, exploring similarities between brain patterns across participants as a novel way to gain insight into the social brain. This methodological shift has facilitated the introduction of naturalistic social stimuli into the study design (e.

Paris MEM: a study protocol for an effectiveness and efficiency trial on the treatment of traumatic stress in France after the 2015-16 terrorist attacks.

Background: The Paris and Nice terrorist attacks affected a thousand of trauma victims and first-line responders. Because there were concerns that this might represent the first of several attacks, there was a need to quickly enhance the local capacities to treat a large number of individuals suffering from trauma-related disorders. Since Reconsolidation Therapy (RT) is brief, relatively easy to learn, well tolerated and effective, it appeared as the ideal first-line treatment to teach to clinicians in this context.

[Body dysmorphic disorder: Future prospects of medical care].

Unlabelled: Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is characterized by excessive preoccupation with a slight or imagined defect in one's physical appearance, believing they look ugly, abnormal or deformed. While the most common preoccupations focus on the skin, hair and nose, any part of the body may be involved. Preoccupations are intrusive, time-consuming and hard to control.
