(1) The objective of the study was to determine the relationship between depressiveness and the occurrence of eating disorders, i.e., emotional eating, uncontrolled eating, cognitive restraint of eating, and the risk of orthorexia. (2) The study was conducted among 556 women from the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (Poland). The study employed the diagnostic survey method using a questionnaire technique: The Beck Depression Inventory, the ORTO-15 Questionnaire, the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. (3) Higher depressiveness severity is associated with a higher score on the "Cognitive Restraint of Eating" scale. The authors' original study demonstrated a statistically significant relationship only between depressiveness and the "Uncontrolled Eating" subscale ( = 0.001). (4) The results of this study suggest that depressiveness is an important factor that contributes to a better understanding of eating behaviors. In addition, the results of this study suggest that eating behaviors and psychological factors should be taken into account in psychological interventions in the treatment of eating disorders. The clinical goal can be considered to be an improvement in non-normative eating behaviors, such as a reduction in overeating episodes or eating less frequently in the absence of a feeling of hunger.

Article Synopsis
  • Breastfeeding has numerous health benefits for both mothers and newborns, acting as a protective factor against infant illness and mortality.
  • The study aimed to compare obstetric outcomes between women who breastfed and those who did not, using data from two different time periods: during the pandemic and pre-pandemic.
  • Results indicated that fewer women breastfed within the first hour after delivery during the pandemic, with non-infected mothers having better outcomes regarding vaginal delivery and breastfeeding compared to infected or suspected cases.

Article Synopsis
  • Oral mucosal wounds are susceptible to inflammation and complications due to exposure to microorganisms, which can hinder daily activities and diminish quality of life.
  • A novel therapeutic nanoplatform, DATS@Arg-EA-SA, has been developed to target these wounds by combining guanidinated dendritic peptides with diallyl trisulfide (DATS), providing both antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects.
  • This nanoplatform effectively eliminates various bacteria, including drug-resistant strains like MRSA, and enhances healing by promoting the transition of inflammatory cells and alleviating pain, making it a promising solution for oral wound treatment.

Background: Bariatric surgery is the most effective intervention for severe pediatric obesity, but a subset of youth experience suboptimal weight loss and/or recurrent weight gain. Early re-initiation of obesity pharmacotherapy postoperatively may improve outcomes, though this has not been evaluated in pediatric populations.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study at a tertiary care children's hospital evaluated the safety and efficacy of reintroducing obesity pharmacotherapy within six weeks after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
