There are numerous general clinical manifestations in eating disorders, such as anorexia and nervous bulimia, which are fully described in the reading material. The objective of this study is to demonstrate that patients suffering from anorexia and nervous bulimia present manifestations in the oral mucosa and a proper anamnesis can lead to an early disease diagnosis. The clinical cases presented show some of the oral manifestations in patients suffering from these disorders. Abrasion of teeth enamel is a typical sign of this disease, specially in patients with nervous bulimia, caused by self-induced vomit acids. However, this sign does not help to make an early disease diagnosis, since the acid takes a long time to produce demineralization.

Background: Current treatments for adolescents with eating disorders (ED) show limited effectiveness, emphasizing the need for enhanced therapeutic approaches. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has emerged as a potential alternative. A derivative of this approach, group cognitive behavioral therapy (G-CBT), has been shown to reduce treatment costs and increase treatment accessibility when compared to CBT.

Background: Emotional eating (EE) is a tendency to consume food in response to positive or negative emotions, leading to obesity and an increased Body Mass Index (BMI). Evidence supports the positive association between EE and binge eating disorder (BED), but little is known about its prevalence among patients referred for bariatric surgery and the psychological characteristics of this patient population. We aim to examine (i) the prevalence of binge eating and EE, (ii) its association with the prevalence of anxiety, depression, diabetes and hypertension and (iii) the correlation between anxiety and depression with emotional and binge eating behaviours among patients attending a regional bariatric service in the UK.

Objective: Early change in eating disorder psychopathology is the most robust predictor of treatment outcomes in eating disorders. However, little is known about what predicts early change. Using mixed-methodology, this study explored predictors of early change in the first four sessions of 10-session cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT-T) for nonunderweight eating disorders.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the diversity of Feeding and Eating Disorders (FED) by examining how different symptoms and personality issues overlap, proposing that current classifications might not fully capture the complexity of these disorders.
- Researchers used Latent Profile Analysis on 109 patients, identifying three distinct profiles: low symptoms with no personality issues, high symptoms without dysfunction, and high symptoms with dysfunctional personality traits.
- Results showed noteworthy differences in BMI, eating disorder severity, and psychiatric diagnoses among these profiles, indicating that the most complex cases suffered the most severe symptoms and related issues, challenging traditional diagnostic categories.

Article Synopsis
- Eating disorders are severe conditions that require weight restoration and psychotherapy, but many patients often refuse treatment, raising concerns about their ability to make decisions regarding their care.
- A study involving 45 women at a psychiatric unit in Rome assessed various psychiatric symptoms and decision-making capacity, revealing that 67% of participants exhibited low decision-making capacity, with even higher rates among those with Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa.
- Specific psychological symptoms can either impair or enhance a patient's ability to make informed decisions, indicating that clinicians should carefully evaluate their patients' decision-making capacity to provide appropriate support.
