A Reliability Generalization Meta-Analysis of the Eating Attitudes Test 26 (EAT-26) Scale.

The Eating Attitudes Test 26 (EAT-26) scale is a well-established tool for assessing the risk of eating disorders. A reliability generalization meta-analysis was conducted to estimate the average reliability of the EAT-26 scale scores and how reliability estimates vary according to the composition and variability of samples, to identify study characteristics that can explain its variability, and to estimate the reliability induction rate. A literature search produced 14 articles involving 15 studies that met the inclusion criteria.

Unusual Presentation of Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome in an Extremely Low Birth Weight Infant.

Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a genetic disorder that affects fetal growth in which those afflicted present with features pertaining to that, such as macrosomia, macroglossia, hemihypertrophy, and abdominal wall defects. This case reports the presentation of an infant diagnosed with BWS who was born with an extremely low birth weight of 980 grams, in contrast to the typical presentation of overgrowth and macrosomia. As a result, reaching a diagnosis of BWS was delayed until the patient reached eight months of age, when other clinical features of BWS, such as hemihypertrophy, became apparent on follow-up visits.

Comparative study of phenotypic-based detection assays for carbapenemases in Acinetobacter baumannii.
