Yellow nail syndrome in anti-SSA and anti-SSB positive primary Sjögren's syndrome.

Yellow nail syndrome (YNS) is a rare, acquired condition, characterised by at least two of the three clinical criteria: nail changes, respiratory tract disease and lymphoedema. Currently, the aetiology of YNS remains unknown; however, it is believed to be caused by impaired lymphatic drainage. Currently, there remain no definitive treatment options available and no prospective trials evaluating this.

Effects of Chatbot Components to Facilitate Mental Health Services Use in Individuals With Eating Disorders Following Online Screening: An Optimization Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: Few individuals with eating disorders (EDs) receive treatment. Innovations are needed to identify individuals with EDs and address care barriers. We developed a chatbot for promoting services uptake that could be paired with online screening.

Development and usability testing of an online platform for provider training and implementation of cognitive-behavioral therapy guided self-help for eating disorders.

Background: Most individuals with eating disorders (EDs) do not receive treatment, and those who do receive care typically do not receive evidence-based treatment, partly due to lack of accessible provider training. This study developed a novel "all-in-one" online platform for disseminating training for mental health providers in cognitive-behavioral therapy guided self-help (CBTgsh) for EDs and supporting its implementation. The aim of the study was to obtain usability data from the online platform prior to evaluating its effects on provider training outcomes and patient ED symptom outcomes in an open pilot trial.

Objective: Individuals with eating disorders (EDs) often do not receive evidence-based care, such as interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), partly due to lack of accessible training in these treatments. The standard method of training (i.e.

In-utero evaluation of the fetal umbilical-portal venous system among fetuses with persistent right umbilical vein: Two-and three-dimensional ultrasonographic study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the anatomy of the portal system in fetuses with persistent right umbilical vein (PRUV).

Methods: Prospective observational study of fetuses diagnosed with PRUV. All patients underwent a comprehensive portal system anatomy scan supplemented by two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) color doppler modalities.

Prenatal ultrasound detection of collodion membrane in association with an autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis due to transglutaminase 1 deficiency.

We describe a case of collodion baby diagnosed prenatally by ultrasound. Classic signs (ectropion, flattened nose, and eclabion) were detected on routine ultrasound at 21 weeks of gestation. At birth, the presence of collodion membrane was confirmed and subsequently, the diagnosis of an autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis due to compound heterozygosity of the TGM1 gene was made.

Prevalence, characteristics, and correlates of probable avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder among adult respondents to the National Eating Disorders Association online screen: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is a serious, albeit under-researched, feeding or eating disorder. This exploratory study utilized data from adult respondents to the National Eating Disorders Association online eating disorder screen to validate items assessing the presence of ARFID and examine the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and correlates of a positive ARFID screen.

Methods: Among 50,082 adult screen respondents between January 2022 and January 2023, the prevalence of a positive ARFID screen was calculated.

Trajectories of therapeutic skills use and their dynamic relations to symptom change during cognitive-behavioral therapy for bulimia nervosa.

Objective: To examine trajectories of therapeutic skills use and weekly relations between skills use and symptom change during the enhanced version of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT-E) for bulimia nervosa (BN).

Method: Fifty-five adults (M age: 39.0 ± 14.

Preferred treatment focus among college students with eating disorders and comorbid mental health problems in a digital cognitive-behavioral guided self-help program.

Objective: To examine the mental health problems that college students with eating disorders (EDs) and comorbid depression and/or anxiety disorders preferred to target first in a digital treatment program and explore correlates of preferred treatment focus.

Methods: Four hundred and eighty nine college student users of a digital cognitive-behavioral guided self-help program targeting common mental health problems (76.7% female, M  = 20.

Evaluation of a combined, online intervention for binge-type eating disorders and high body weight in young adults.

Background: Binge-type eating disorders (EDs; i.e., bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder) are common among young adults with high body weight, yet few interventions target both conditions.

Prevalence, Characteristics, and Correlates of Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder among Adult Respondents to the National Eating Disorders Association Online Screen: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is a serious, albeit under-researched, feeding or eating disorder. This exploratory study utilized data from adult respondents to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) online eating disorder screen to validate items assessing the presence of ARFID and examine the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and correlates of a positive ARFID screen compared to other probable eating disorder/risk categories.

Methods: Among 47,705 adult screen respondents between January 2022 and January 2023, the prevalence of a positive ARFID screen was calculated.

Evaluating whether a peer-led dissonance-based eating disorder prevention program prevents onset of each eating disorder type.

Background: This study tested whether the dissonance-based eating disorder prevention program reduced onset of subthreshold/threshold anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), binge eating disorder (BED), and purging disorder (PD) over long-term follow-up.

Methods: Data were combined from three prevention trials that targeted young women at high-risk for eating disorders ( = 1092; age = 19.3).

Development and usability testing of a chatbot to promote mental health services use among individuals with eating disorders following screening.

Objective: A significant gap exists between those who need and those who receive care for eating disorders (EDs). Novel solutions are needed to encourage service use and address treatment barriers. This study developed and evaluated the usability of a chatbot designed for pairing with online ED screening.

The Relation of Grit to Weight Loss Maintenance Outcomes.

Biological, genetic, and environmental factors make weight loss very difficult. Acceptance-based behavioral treatment (ABT) supplements standard behavioral treatments (BT) for obesity by teaching skills to accept the discomfort inherent to weight control behaviors and prioritize long-term, values-based goals. Grit, the ability to persevere in goal pursuit, overlaps conceptually with ABT principles and may predict outcomes in ABT.

Fetal Micro and Macroglossia: Defining Normal Fetal Tongue Size.

Objectives: Abnormal fetal tongue size is a phenotypic feature of various syndromes including Beckwith-Wiedemann, Pierre-Robin, oromandibular limb hypoplasia, chromosomal aberrations, etc. Current data regarding normal fetal tongue size are limited. Hence, micro/macroglossia are subjectively determined.

Enhancing efficacy of a dissonance-based obesity and eating disorder prevention program: Experimental therapeutics.

Objective: Test the hypothesis that the efficacy of a dissonance-based obesity/eating disorder prevention program, Project Health, could be enhanced by implementing it in single-sex groups and adding food response inhibition and attention training.

Method: Using a 2 × 2 factorial design, young adults (N = 261; Mage = 19.3, 79% female; 64% White) were randomized to (a) single-sex or (b) mixed-sex groups that completed food response inhibition and attention training or (c) single-sex or (d) mixed-sex groups that completed generic response inhibition and attention training with nonfood images.

Examining weight suppression as a predictor and moderator of intervention outcomes in an eating disorder and obesity prevention trial: A replication and extension study.

Weight suppression (WS) predicts future weight gain and increases in eating disorder symptoms in community and clinical samples but has received minimal attention in obesity and eating disorder prevention programs. In a sample of emerging adults (N = 364) in a randomized controlled trial evaluating two obesity and eating disorder prevention interventions versus a control condition, this study aimed to replicate the findings that WS and its interaction with baseline BMI predict increases in weight and eating disorder symptoms and test a novel hypothesis that WS would moderate the effects of the interventions on change in weight and eating disorder symptoms. Participants completed assessments at baseline, post-intervention, 6-, 12-, and 24-months.
