Background: Previous studies have shown that symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder are common in both adults and children and adolescents with anorexia nervosa. Until now, no study has explored the specific obsessive compulsive symptoms shown in children and adolescents with AN.
Method: In this study we report types of symptoms displayed by young people with AN and explore similarities and differences with adults with AN and with people with OCD.
Results: Common obsessions concerned contamination, aggressive and somatic concerns, and common compulsions were related to ordering/arranging, and checking.
Conclusion: It is important for clinicians to be aware of the obsessions and compulsions they are most likely to encounter when working with these patients. If missed or ignored, such symptoms may interact with eating disorder symptoms and impede treatment.

A growing body of literature has confirmed the within-person process from interpersonal conflict to adolescent mood on a day-to-day timescale. However, research on how, when and for whom adolescent interpersonal conflict relates to their daily mood is underdeveloped. This study examined whether interpersonal conflict is related to mood through threat appraisal and self-blaming attribution and whether these relationships would be moderated by daily social support and psychological capital.

The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is the World Health Organization's (WHO) standard for assessing individual functioning. Over the last decade, the ICF has been made more accessible for autism and ADHD through the development and validation of tailored shorter ICF versions for these diagnoses, ICF Core Sets. To further enhance their applicability in research and practice, these Core Sets have been operationalized and implemented on an online platform, the ICF CoreSets platform.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (EBV-HLH) and infectious mononucleosis (IM) are characterized by fever, hepatomegaly, and splenomegaly, but HLH has a 50% lethality rate. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the laboratory findings in differentiating EBV-HLH children from IM children who have fever, hepatomegaly, or splenomegaly. A total of 131 IM patients and 29 EBV-HLH pediatric patients with fever, hepatomegaly, or splenomegaly were enrolled in our study.
