Self-injurious behaviour in patients with anorexia nervosa: a quantitative study.

Background: Many patients with an eating disorder report difficulties in regulating their emotions and show a high prevalence of self-injurious behaviour. Several studies have stated that both eating disorder and self-injurious behaviour help emotion regulation, and are thus used as coping mechanisms for these patients. We aimed to determine the prevalence of self-injurious behaviour, its characteristics and its emotion-regulation function in patients with anorexia nervosa or an eating disorder not otherwise specified ( = 136).

Relapse in anorexia nervosa: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose Of Review: Relapse is common in patients with anorexia nervosa. The aim of this study is to systematically review the existing literature on relapse in anorexia nervosa.

Recent Findings: A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, PsychInfo and CINAHL published up to April 2018.

Relapse prevention in anorexia nervosa: Experiences of patients and parents.

One of the main aims of treatment after successful recovery from anorexia nervosa (AN) is to prevent a relapse. The Guideline Relapse Prevention (GRP) Anorexia Nervosa offers a structured approach to relapse prevention. This study explores how patients and their parents experience working with the guideline.

Glycosylated Cell Surface Markers for the Isolation of Human Cardiac Progenitors.

The aim of stem cell therapy after cardiac injury is to replace damaged cardiac tissue. Human cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) represent an interesting cell population for clinical strategies to treat cardiac disease and human CPC-specific antibodies would aid in the clinical implementation of cardiac progenitor-based cell therapy. However, the field of CPC biology suffers from the lack of human CPC-specific markers.
