Purpose: Little is known about co-occurring eating disorder (ED) psychopathology and methamphetamine use. Even less is known about the precise nature of how ED symptom profiles and methamphetamine use interact and influence treatment-related practices. The purpose of this study is to report a case study of a patient with co-occuring ED psychopathology and methamphetamine use.
Method: We present the case of a White woman in her mid-30s with a long history of body image-related worries and methamphetamine use. She presented for psychiatric assessment initially for methamphetamine addiction and paranoid psychotic symptom treatment, but also reported significant weight and shape concerns.
Results: Over the duration of approximately 1 year of treatment, this patient experienced a reduction in her methamphetamine use, but an increased concern around how abstinence may portend weight gain. She reported that a return to methamphetamine use was underpinned by a drive to manage her weight.
Conclusion: With increasing evidence documenting the elevated co-occurrence of methamphetamine use and ED symptomatology, this case report highlights the potential mechanisms by which these respective psychopathologies may be exacerbate the other, rendering both increased risk of relapse, and body dissatisfaction.
Level Of Evidence: Level IV, case study.

Impact of a Virtual Care Navigation Service on Member-Reported Outcomes Among Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Populations: Case Study.
JMIR Form Res
January 2025
School of Nursing, University of Pennsylvania, 418 Curie Blvd, Philadelphia, PA, 19104, United States, 1 8123695216.
Background: While the significance of care navigation in facilitating access to health care within the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other (LGBTQ+) communities has been acknowledged, there is limited research examining how care navigation influences an individual's ability to understand and access the care they need in real-world settings. By analyzing private sector data, we can bridge the gap between theoretical research findings and practical applications, ultimately informing both business strategies and public policy with evidence grounded in real-world efficacy.
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of specialized virtual care navigation services on LGBTQ+ individuals' ability to comprehend and access necessary care within a national cohort of commercially insured members.

Primary splenic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PS-DLBCL) is a rare manifestation of malignant lymphoma. Although DLBCL is the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, primary splenic involvement is uncommon. Additionally, a gastrosplenic fistula at initial presentation is even more rare and poses a diagnostic challenge for the radiologist.
