Resting energy expenditure in acutely ill and stabilized patients with anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.

Objective: Determining resting energy expenditure (REE) may be important in the nutritional assessment of adolescents with eating disorders (EDs). Calculated equations assessing REE, developed according to data from healthy people, may under- or overestimate REE in EDs. We have sought to compare the REE measured in clinical settings to that calculated using equations in actively ill adolescents with anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN), and following stabilization of weight and disordered eating.

[The neurosurgical therapy of trigeminal neuralgia].

The Trigeminal Neuralgie (TN) is he most common cause of facial pain with an incidence of 27 per 100'000 patients per year. The symptoms are paroxysmal stabbing, tearing, and burning pain usually in the area of the second and third trigeminal nerve, that can be provoked by drinking, shaving, chewing or talking. If the classical drug therapy with anticonvulsants is not sufficient or must be discontinued due to side effects, then the retrosigmoidal craniotomy and micro-vascular decompression in vascular-nerve-contact ot partial rhizotomy are good pain-free procedures.
