[source] An integrative quantitative model of factors influencing the course of anorexia nervosa over timeINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EATING DISORDERS, Issue 4 2009Michal Yackobovitch-Gavan PhD Abstract Objective: To identify factors influencing the course of anorexia nervosa (AN) over time. Method: Former female patients with AN (36 remitted and 24 nonremitted) and 31 healthy females responded to standardized interviews and self-rating questionnaires. Remitted patients maintained normal eating, normal weight, and regular menses for the past 12 months. Patients not fulfilling these criteria were considered nonremitted. Results: Using logistic regression, we identified that number of hospitalizations, duration of ambulatory treatment, past vegetarianism, past anxiety, and childhood sexual abuse differentiated remitted from nonremitted patients, predicting nonremission. A similar analysis identified that elevated follow-up vegetarianism and eating-related concerns and lower body mass index (BMI) differentiated remitted from nonremitted patients, contributing to nonremission. Univariate analyses identified that remitted patients had elevated anxiety and eating-related obsessionality compared with the controls, suggesting these variables to potentially predispose to AN. Discussion: Elevated anxiety and eating-related obsessionality may increase the risk for the development of AN and for nonremission. © 2008 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

McIntosh PhD Abstract Objective: This article presents the rationale for, and description of, a nonspecialized therapy for anorexia nervosa, called specialist supportive clinical management (SSCM). Method: Clinical management and supportive psychotherapy models of treatment are outlined. SSCM is described, as it was delivered in a clinical trial of psychotherapies for adult women with anorexia nervosa. Results: The primary focus of SSCM for anorexia nervosa is the resumption of normal eating and the restoration of weight. Therapy aims to maintain a therapeutic relationship that facilitates the return to normal eating, and to enable other life issues that may impact on the eating disorder to be addressed. Conclusion: Possible effective components of SSCM are discussed. © 2006 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Philpott Objectives:, The aim of this study was to compare postoperative symptoms following coblation tonsillectomy with those experienced following a traditional cold dissection. Design:, A prospective randomized controlled trial. Setting:, Secondary otorhinolaryngology care. Participants:, Ninety-two adult patients with recurrent tonsillitis meriting tonsillectomy were recruited and randomly allocated into either coblation or cold dissection tonsillectomy groups. Main outcome measures:, Primary outcomes were post-operative pain, otalgia, swallowing and analgesia use at 6,8 hours, 1, 3, 7 and 14 days post-operative. Secondary outcomes were post-operative day returned to eating and returned to normal activities/work. Results:, No significant differences between the two groups (P , 0.1) were found in any of the above primary outcomes, apart from swallowing at 6,8 hrs post-operatively where the cold dissection group had less pain. This group also returned earlier to normal eating (P = 0.03). The power of the study was sufficient to show a difference in the visual analogue scores of 2 between groups. Conclusions:, The use of coblation to perform tonsillectomy does not confer any symptomatic benefits to the patient over conventional cold dissection tonsillectomy. [source] | ||||||||||
