Feeding and Eating Disorders in the Context of Circadian Rhythms.

A circadian rhythm is a 24-hour rhythm controlled by a master clock, the suprachiasmatic nucleus, and driven by synchronizing internal/external zeitgebers. Food intake is one of the most important external cues/zeitgebers. Studies in humans and animals have shown that misalignment of food intake leads to chronodisruption, which is associated with metabolic disruption, obesity, and disordered eating attitudes.

Dissociative Absorption May Contribute to Internet Gaming Disorder Independent of Childhood Trauma and ADHD Symptoms Among Male University Students.

Objective: We aimed to investigate the relationship between childhood trauma, dissociative experiences, and internet gaming disorder in male university students with probable attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder determined by both childhood and current attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms.

Materials And Methods: Volunteers were 376 university students who completed a test battery that included a sociodemographic form as well as the Adult ADHD Severity Rating Scale, Wender Utah Rating Scale, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Dissociative Experiences Scale, Somatoform Dissociation Questionnaire, and Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form. Volunteers were divided into 2 groups as with and without probable attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder D based on both childhood and current attentiondeficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms.

Does clozapine really affect bone mineral density? An experimental study.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of clozapine use on bone tissue by applying computerized tomography, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and histological and biomechanical analyses in an experimental rat model.

Methods: Sixteen female Wistar Albino rats were included in this study. These animals were divided into two groups: the control group and the clozapine group.

The relationship between night eating symptoms and disordered eating attitudes via insomnia and chronotype differences.

Humans' sleep timing and the psychological construct "diurnal preference" determines their "chronotype" (i.e., morning or evening type).
