Nasal Obstruction Outcomes in Medial Flap Turbinoplasty and Inferior Turbinate Submucous Resection.

Objectives: To compare longitudinal improvement in nasal obstruction quality-of-life outcomes between medial flap turbinoplasty (MFT) and inferior turbinate submucous resection (SMR) concurrently performed with functional septorhinoplasty.

Methods: Retrospective review of a prospectively collected cohort of patients undergoing functional septorhinoplasty between 2015 and 2022 at a tertiary academic center. Outcomes were assessed using the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) questionnaire preoperatively and over 12 months postoperatively.

The background and experience of neuroscience teachers in Australian universities: A cross-sectional survey.

Neuroscience is an academic discipline taught within a broad range of university degrees and programs. The expertise and experience of neuroscience teaching staff contribute to the student's learning experience and knowledge acquisition. We undertook a survey to characterize the neuroscience teaching workforce and practices in Australian universities, and to investigate access to and deficiencies in neuroscience teaching resources and training.

The prevalence and burden of avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) in a general adolescent population.

Background: Little is known about the prevalence and impairment associated with possible Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) in community adolescent populations. We aimed to investigate the prevalence, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and psychological distress associated with possible ARFID in a sample of adolescents from the general population in New South Wales, Australia.

Methods: A representative sample of 5072 secondary school students aged between 11 and 19 years completed the online EveryBODY survey in 2017.

Incidence and Reimbursement Trends for Facial Fracture Repair in the Elderly: A Medicare Analysis.

Objectives: The aim was to describe incidence and reimbursement trends of surgical repair of facial fractures among the Medicare population.

Methods: The annual procedure data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service National Part B Data File from 2000 to 2019 were queried.

Results: The total number of surgically corrected facial fractures increased from 10,148 in 2000 to 19,631 in 2019 in a linear pattern (r = 0.

Development of transdiagnostic clinical risk prediction models for 12-month onset and course of eating disorders among adolescents in the community.

Objective: To develop and internally validate risk prediction models for adolescent onset and persistence of eating disorders.

Methods: N = 963 Australian adolescents (11-19 years) in the EveryBODY Study cohort completed online surveys in 2018 and 2019. Models were built to predict 12-month risk of (1) onset, and (2) persistence of a DSM-5 eating disorder.

Objective: To assess how traditional, simple markers of health independently affect postoperative morbidity of mandibular fracture open reduction-internal fixations (ORIFs).

Study Design: Cohort study.

Setting: National Surgical Quality Improvement Project (NSQIP) Database.

The influence of the simulation environment on teamwork and cognitive load in novice trauma professionals at the emergency department: Piloting a randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: This pilot study aimed to test the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial to examine how simulation environments (in situ versus laboratory) influence teamwork skills development and cognitive load among novice healthcare trauma professionals in the emergency department.

Method: Twenty-four novice trauma professionals (nurses, medical residents, respiratory therapists) were assigned to in situ or laboratory simulations. They participated in two 15-minute simulations separated by a 45-minute debriefing on teamwork.

Examination of bidirectional relationships between fear of negative evaluation and weight/shape concerns over 3 years: A longitudinal cohort study of Australian adolescents.

Objective: Adolescents commonly experience both fear of negative evaluation and weight/shape concerns. However, evidence concerning the prospective associations between these constructs during adolescence is limited. The current study examined the bidirectional relationships between fear of negative evaluation and weight/shape concerns over a 3-year period in adolescents.

Difficulties with emotion regulation and weight/shape concerns as predictors of eating disorder behaviors among adolescents.

Background: Difficulties with emotion regulation are a proposed key transdiagnostic factor of mental health difficulties, including eating disorders. However, it remains unclear whether difficulties with emotion regulation prospectively predict engagement in eating disorder behaviors. The current study examined whether difficulties with emotion regulation were associated with eating disorder behaviors after 1 year, in addition to weight and shape concerns.

Associations among relationship status, gender, and sexual attraction in Australian adolescents' eating pathology.

Objective: Engaging in romantic relationships in adolescence may inadvertently increase participation in appearance culture and the risk for eating pathology. Little research has considered this effect, particularly as it relates to adolescents' gender identity and sexual attraction. Therefore, this study examined the associations among relationship status, gender, and sexual attraction in adolescents' eating pathology.

Longitudinal relationship between experience of sexual harassment and 2-year body image and weight outcomes in adolescence: mediation through self-objectification and psychological distress.

Background: The current study investigated the experience of sexual harassment as a risk factor for weight gain and weight/shape concerns in a community sample of adolescents, with potential mediating factors self-objectification and psychological distress.

Method: 1034 Australian adolescents (aged 11 to 19 years) from the EveryBODY longitudinal study of disordered eating pathology participated. Data were collected through online surveys annually for 3 years.

Emotion Dysregulation and Eating Disorder Symptoms: Examining Distinct Associations and Interactions in Adolescents.

Emotion dysregulation has been posited as a key transdiagnostic factor of mental health difficulties, including eating disorders. However, how this transdiagnostic factor interacts with the disorder-specific factor of weight and shape concerns remains unclear. The current study examined whether emotion dysregulation is associated with eating disorder behaviors over and above the association between weight and shape concerns and whether these two factors interacted.

Peer victimization and weight/shape concerns in adolescents: Examining the moderating role of appearance-based rejection sensitivity.

Peer victimization has been related to weight/shape concerns in adolescents. However, a dearth of research has examined potential moderators of this association. The present study examined the concurrent and prospective associations between two types of peer victimization, appearance-based and non-appearance-based, and weight/shape concerns among adolescents, and whether these associations were moderated by appearance-based rejection sensitivity.

Identifying components of drive for muscularity and leanness associated with core body image disturbance: A network analysis.

Alongside thin ideals, internalizing muscular and/or lean body ideals is associated with eating disorder (ED) symptomatology, especially among males. However, assessment of drive for muscularity (DM) and drive for leanness (DL) also captures attitudes and behaviors that are normative in the general population. The aim of this study was to identify components of DM and DL that are independently linked to core body image disturbance in EDs-shape/weight dissatisfaction, overvaluation ,and fear of weight gain-in community adolescents using network analysis.

Cyberbullying and internet safety: a survey of child and adolescent mental health practitioners.

Objectives: Cyberbullying is increasingly recognised as a threat for young people's mental health. Young people and their families may not know how to stay safe online or how to respond following unsafe internet experiences. This study aimed to examine Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) staff perceived knowledge, practice and attitudes towards cyberbullying (CB) and internet safety (IS), and their training needs.

Gender compatibility and drive for muscularity among adolescent boys: Examining the indirect effect of emotion regulation difficulties.

The drive for muscularity continues to be a prominent concern among adolescent boys. However, it is unknown how gender compatibility (gender typicality and gender contentedness) relates to this pursuit. The present study sought to examine the link between gender compatibility and drive for muscularity among male adolescents, and whether this is partially accounted for by emotion regulation difficulties.

Neurohormonal markers in chronic rhinosinusitis.

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), especially with nasal polyps, continues to elude precise pathogenesis and effective treatment. Prior work in our laboratory demonstrated interleukin-33 (IL-33) and Substance P (SP) activation of mast cells, and inhibitory effect of interleukin-37 (IL-37). Our objective is to study the expression of these neurohormonal mediators in mast cell stimulation of nasal polyposis.

Associations of weight- or shape-related bullying with diverse disordered eating behaviors in adolescents.

Objective: Little research has investigated variables affecting the relationship between weight- or shape-related bullying (WSB) and specific forms of disordered eating in adolescence. This study aimed to examine the relationship between WSB and eating disorder behaviors in Australian adolescents, and whether this relationship was moderated by body image attitudes.

Method: Data were used from the first wave of the EveryBODY study, a survey of body image concerns and eating disorders in a large representative sample of Australian adolescents (N = 573), aged 11-19 years.

Prevalence of muscle dysmorphia in adolescents: findings from the study.

Background: We sought to provide the first point prevalence estimates of muscle dysmorphia (MD), a form of body dysmorphic disorder characterized by a preoccupation with perceived insufficient muscularity, in adolescents.

Methods: Data were taken from a survey of 3618 Australian adolescents (11.172-19.

The distinct role of body image aspects in predicting eating disorder onset in adolescents after one year.

Recent research suggests specific body image aspects, namely weight/shape dissatisfaction, overvaluation of weight/shape, weight/shape preoccupation, and fear of weight gain, have distinct roles in eating disorder (ED) onset and maintenance. The aim of this study was to investigate unique associations between these body image aspects and ED onset, distress, and quality of life in a community sample of adolescents prospectively after 1 year. Adolescents (n = 1,327; 51% female; age range 11-19 years) who completed Waves 1 and 2 of the EveryBODY Study and did not meet criteria for an ED at Wave 1 completed measures of ED symptoms, distress, and quality of life impairment.

Prevalence of Parental Comments on Weight/Shape/Eating amongst Sons and Daughters in an Adolescent Sample.

Reports suggest that 12-76% of adolescents have experienced parental comments regarding their weight/shape and/or eating behaviours. Parents may engage in conversations about weight/shape and eating out of concern, even without any ill intent; however, the associations of these comments with subsequent problematic psychosocial and eating behaviours are evidenced. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of the content and prevalence of such comments is needed.

Mental Health Nurse experiences of delivering care to severely depressed adults receiving electroconvulsive therapy.

WHAT IS KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT?: ECT is a fast-working and potentially life-saving treatment, but it is still considered a controversial treatment choice. Due to lack of knowledge and public stigma, ECT can be an anxiety-inducing treatment for people experiencing severe depression. The nurse's role is to alleviate this anxiety, aid recovery and minimize the risk of relapse.
