Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) occurs more frequently in obese females of childbearing age. A link between eating disorders and poor outcome has been suggested but remains unproven.
Methods: This prospective field study at two tertiary headache centers included patients with clinically suspected IIH after standardized diagnostic work-up.
Introduction Ultrasound-guided peripheral venous catheter placement (UG-PVCP) is a key skill for establishing intravenous access, especially in patients with anatomical challenges. Ultrasound is highly operator-dependent, and it is essential to ensure a sufficient level of competence when educating healthcare professionals. Competence can be acquired through simulation-based training (SBT) using phantoms or simulators.

Objective: We hypothesized that a larger number of days between sessions increased the likelihood of attrition among participants with Binge Eating Disorder (BED) in a 12-session Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) program.
