Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic and the associated lockdown measures, the number of children treated in this children's hospital for eating disorders and in particular anorexia nervosa has significantly increased.An increased focus on the control of body weight with restrictive eating habits or otherwise induced weight loss (sport) can compensate for fears of loss of control. Thinking and behavioral patterns which are typical for anorexia can be assessed as dysfunctional coping strategies of the corona pandemic in order to regain control (in the sense of a substitute structure) but also as a means of coping better with feelings of depression and anxiety.

An (un)answered cry for help: a qualitative study exploring the subjective meaning of eating disorders in the context of transgenerational trauma.

Background: Current research on the transmission of trauma and eating disorders across generations is limited. However, quantitative studies suggest that the influence of parents' and grandparents' eating disorders and their prior exposure to trauma are associated with the development of eating disorders in future generations. Qualitative research exploring personal accounts of the impact of transgenerational trauma on the development of eating disorders has been largely unexplored.

Background: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a valuable resource for the study and diagnosis of neurological diseases, but few studies have comprehensively characterized the genetic determinants of CSF protein levels that may contribute to the development of disease. These quantitative trait loci (QTL) have proven vital to identifying candidate genes for disease treatment and monitoring. Here, we utilize our largest-to-date CSF protein QTL atlas to prioritize potentially causal proteins for 14 neurological traits and examine the unique and overlapping disease mechanisms observed using CSF proteins.

Background: Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) may result in significant medical sequelae. Compared to youth with eating disorders like anorexia nervosa (AN), youth with ARFID tend to be younger and are more likely to be male. We aim to describe sex differences in clinical characteristics of youth hospitalized for medical complications of ARFID and compare their characteristics with youth hospitalized for anorexia nervosa.

Objective: Family-based treatment (FBT) is promising for treating adolescents with anorexia nervosa, but long-term remission rates are modest. Home treatment (HT) as a supplement to FBT aims to enhance sustainability and effectiveness by supporting recovery within the family. This study compares the cost-effectiveness of FBT alone versus FBT with additional HT for adolescents with anorexia nervosa.

: Recent research has increasingly explored the cognitive processes underlying eating disorders (EDs), including anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), binge eating disorder (BED), other specified feeding or eating disorders (OSFEDs), and individuals with higher weight (HW). This critical narrative review focuses on neurocognitive findings derived from mainly experimental tasks to provide a detailed understanding of cognitive functioning across these groups. Where experimental data are lacking, we draw on self-report measures and neuroimaging findings to offer supplementary insights.
