Preliminary Evidence That Shared Genetic Influences Underlie Comorbidity Between Self-Reported Eating and Internalizing Disorders and Gastrointestinal Disease in Adult Women and Men.

Introduction: Accumulating research suggests both eating disorders (EDs) and internalizing disorders (e.g., anxiety, depression) are associated with gastrointestinal disease (e.

Daily estradiol and progesterone levels moderate genetic and environmental influences on emotional eating across 45 consecutive days in female twins.

Background: Past studies indicate daily increases in estrogen across the menstrual cycle protect against binge-eating (BE) phenotypes (e.g. emotional eating), whereas increases in progesterone enhance risk.

Improved extraction efficiency of radioactive copper produced via accelerator neutrons method through phosphate buffer-enhanced column pre-treatment.

We report a straightforward and robust method for isolating medical copper radioisotopes Cu and Cu, generated by an accelerator neutrons technique from Zn(n, x). This study reveals the key role of a phosphate buffer pre-treatment of the cation exchange column in the separation process. Incorporating the phosphate buffer into the column pre-treatment markedly enhances the retention of copper isotopes within the column throughout the separation procedure.

Predictors of Outpatient and Inpatient Service Utilization Among Publicly-Insured Youth With Eating Disorders.

Introduction: Although eating disorders (EDs) affect youth from all socioeconomic backgrounds, little is known about the treatment experiences of under-resourced youth with EDs. To address this gap, we examined patterns of outpatient and inpatient service utilization among publicly-insured youth with EDs in California and potential disparities for youth with additional marginalized identities.

Method: Participants were identified from the full sample of California Medicaid/Medi-Cal beneficiaries aged 7-18 with ≥ 1 service episode between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2016.
