Objective: We examined how personality traits are associated with eating pathology (EP) across a range of severities and symptom subtypes.

Method: The National Comorbidity Survey Adolescent Supplement (N = 10,148) was used to compare personality across severities (i.e., clinical Eating Disorders [EDs], subclinical disordered eating, preclinical weight concerns, or no weight/EP [no W/EP]), subclinical subtypes (i.e., Binge Eating Only, Binge-Purge, Binge-Restrict, Restrict-Purge, or no W/EP), and clinical subtypes (i.e., Anorexia Nervosa [AN]), Bulimia Nervosa [BN], Binge Eating Disorder [BED], internalizing disorders, or no ED or internalizing disorder) of EP.

Results: More severe EP was associated with more extreme personality trait endorsements. Impulsivity-related traits did not consistently distinguish binge eating/purging from restricting subtypes, although behavioral disinhibition differentiated adolescents with BN or BED from AN.

Conclusion: Personality traits related to affectivity and impulsivity were more consistently associated with severity rather than subtype of EP.

Background: Recent studies have shown that patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are more likely to be diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Increased genetic risk for ADHD, measured with ADHD polygenic risk scores (ADHD-PRS), was associated with a more severe AD presentation, including worse cognitive function and higher tau pathology. Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPSs) are common in AD and are hypothesized to occur with disease progression.

Background: Disruption of sleep and circadian rhythms are associated with cognitive decline, preclinical Alzheimer's Disease (AD) pathology, and increased risk of dementia. Alleviating circadian rhythm and sleep disruption may improve cognition and reduce the progression of AD and related dementias (ADRD). Time-restricted eating (TRE), a circadian behavioral intervention that corrects disrupted eating rhythms by aligning food intake to the daytime, has demonstrated improvements in metabolic dysfunction and sleep quality.

Department of Pediatric Medicine B, Béchir Hamza Children's Hospital, Faculty of Medicine of Tunis, Tunis el Manar University, Tunis, Tunisia.

Introduction: The ingestion of foreign body (FB) is a common problem in paediatrics. Children are curious by nature and tend to explore environment by inserting objects into their mouths.

Aim: To update our epidemiological and clinical data and adapt clinical management in order to limit morbidity associated with this fairly frequent accidental pathology.

Article Synopsis
  • Non-neoplastic hypercortisolaemia, or pseudo-Cushing's syndrome (PCS), can occur due to various health conditions like depression, obesity, and diabetes, linked to overactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
  • A 66-year-old woman exhibited symptoms such as weakness, weight loss, and poorly controlled hypertension, which led to the discovery of pheochromocytoma, a tumor that causes hormone overproduction, upon further testing.
  • After undergoing surgery to remove the tumor and receiving supportive treatment, her symptoms improved significantly, confirming the diagnosis of PCS rather than traditional Cushing's syndrome.
