Navigating recovery in childhood OCD: a qualitative analysis of barriers and facilitators.

Objective: The objective is to examine barriers and facilitators to recovery in children and adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) using a qualitative approach.

Methods: Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted, audio-recorded, and analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings were validated through investigator triangulation, peer validation and member check.

Course and Outcome of Anorexia Nervosa in Adolescents from a Tertiary-level Mental Health Setting in India: A Retrospective Chart Review.

Background: Anorexia nervosa is one of the least studied mental health conditions in the Indian setting. The objective of this study was to assess the course and outcome of anorexia nervosa in adolescents who had presented to a tertiary care child and adolescent psychiatry center over a period of 10 years.

Methods: The present study is a retrospective chart review of adolescents (up to the age of 18 years) with a diagnosis of anorexia nervosa, coded as F50.

Instability of mixing layers: Momentum and thermal transport in the continuum breakdown regime.

We examine the momentum and thermal transport in the continuum breakdown regime of a mixing layer flow, which exhibits Kelvin-Helmholtz instability under ideal continuum conditions. The Grad 13 moment model is used as it provides an adequate description of the flow physics (second-order accurate in Knudsen number) in the transition regime. Analytical solutions are developed under breakdown conditions for two-dimensional, compressible, parallel shear flows.

Continuum breakdown in compressible mixing layers.

Gas-kinetic simulations of rarefied and compressible mixing layers are performed to characterize continuum breakdown and the effect on the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. The unified gas-kinetic scheme (UGKS) is used to perform the simulations at different Mach and Knudsen numbers. The UGKS stress tensor and heat-flux vector fields are compared against those given by the Navier-Stokes-Fourier constitutive equations.

Lived experiences of children and adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder: interpretative phenomenological analysis.

Background: Childhood obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is distinct from OCD in adults. It can be severely disabling and there is little qualitative research on OCD in children. The present study aims to explore the subjective experiences of diagnosis, treatment processes and meaning of recovery in children and adolescents suffering from OCD and provide a conceptual model of the illness.
