The Reproductive Impact of Eating Disorders in Adolescents.

Eating disorders are common, chronic illnesses that frequently arise during adolescence. Because of the impact on nutrition, individuals with eating disorders have significant health consequences, including effects on reproductive health. Adolescent women with eating disorders frequently have menstrual irregularities, though the causes of these abnormalities are complex and vary depending on the type of eating disorder.

Kinetics of the parallel-consecutive bimolecular reaction: a solution to the inverse problem involving the Lambert-W function.

For the parallel-consecutive bimolecular reaction mechanism, a solution to the inverse kinetic problem can be approached directly using a characteristic equation specified in terms of the Lambert-W function, similar to the logarithmic and reciprocal plot-treatments for simple first and second order reaction kinetics, respectively.

Case series: gaming vs. eating-comorbidity of ARFID and IGD.

This case series includes innovative information regarding the relationship between Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder and the recently formulated diagnosis of Internet Gaming Disorder. The series illustrates two clinical cases in which both disorders were simultaneously recognized during diagnosis and treatment. Both disorders were utilized by patients as maladaptive coping strategies in efforts to avoid emotional distress and are potential risk factors that interfere with physical and mental health functioning.

Trends and Substance Use Associations With E-Cigarette Use in US Adolescents.

Concerns exist that e-cigarette use may introduce adolescents to drugs. This study explores trends and associations of inhaled tobacco use with drug use. We performed a secondary data analysis on the National Youth Risk Behavior Survey examining the inhaled tobacco and drug use patterns among US teens.

Total synthesis of (-)-aritasone via the ultra-high pressure hetero-Diels-Alder dimerisation of (-)-pinocarvone.

This paper describes a total synthesis of the terpene-derived natural product aritasone via the hetero-Diels-Alder [4 + 2] cyclodimerisation of pinocarvove, which represents the proposed biosyntheic route. The hetero-Diels-Alder dimerisation of pinocarvone did not proceed under standard conditions, and ultra-high pressure (19.9 kbar) was required.
