Article Synopsis
- This study examines how well different types of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) and an anion exchange resin can remove PFAS and other contaminants from groundwater used for drinking water production.
- GAC was effective initially, showing low breakthrough rates for contaminants, but its efficiency decreased over time; however, the resin improved the removal of certain acid compounds but not all.
- Some contaminants were effectively removed, but the use of resin filters led to the detection of new contaminants in the treated water, raising concerns about drinking water safety.
Objective: This national study aimed to estimate the prevalence of the transgender and gender-diverse identity and to assess the level of gender congruence, body dissatisfaction and quality of life among patients with eating disorders in Denmark.
Method: Patients with eating disorders were compared to a matched non-clinical comparison group. The survey included the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire and assessment of body dissatisfaction, gender congruence and quality of life.
Article Synopsis
- Eating disorders (EDs) result in substantial health issues, impacting millions globally, and understanding their transitions and remission can enhance treatment and etiology efforts.* -
- A study examined over 10,000 people with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or EDNOS to assess diagnostic changes and periods of presumed remission, utilizing genetic data from polygenic scores (PGSs).* -
- Results showed that most patients did not transition diagnoses but experienced remission, with various PGSs linked to these outcomes, indicating a significant genetic influence on ED progression and recovery.*
Objective: People with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) face an increased risk of eating disorders/disordered eating (ED/DE), with adolescents being particularly vulnerable. Empirical knowledge on the mechanisms underlying development of ED/DE in T1D is crucial for evolving prevention strategies.
Research Design And Methods: Fourteen semi-structured interviews with adolescent females with T1D and ED/DE between 14 and 18 years were conducted and analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis.
Objective: Binge eating has adverse health effects and may be 10 times more common in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) than in the general population. Still, binge eating is not consistently addressed in diabetes treatment. People with T2D and binge eating may, therefore, seek guidance on the topic on social media.
