The results multisite field trial involving 1,984 subjects indicate that is common (30.1%) among attending hospital-affiliated weight control programs, relatively rare community (2.0%). more females than males and associated severity...
Binge eating disorder (BED) is a new that describes the disturbance of large number individuals who suffer from recurrent binge but do not regularly engage in compensatory behaviors to avoid weight gain seen bulimia nervosa. This multisite study BED involved 1,785 subjects drawn 18 control programs, 942 five nonpatient community samples, and 75 patients with Approximately 29% programs met criteria for BED. In samples was more common than purging The validity supported by its strong...
Antidepressant medication is frequently prescribed for patients with anorexia nervosa.To determine whether fluoxetine can promote recovery and prolong time-to-relapse among nervosa following weight restoration.Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. From January 2000 until May 2005, 93 received intensive inpatient or day-program treatment at the New York State Psychiatric Institute Toronto General Hospital. Participants regained to a minimum body mass index (calculated as in...
To examine changes in depressive symptoms and treatment the first 3 years following bariatric surgery.
Two treatments for bulimia nervosa have emerged as having established efficacy: cognitive-behavioral therapy and antidepressant medication. This study sought to address 1) how the efficacy of a psychodynamically oriented supportive psychotherapy compared that therapy; 2) whether two-stage medication intervention, in which second (fluoxetine) was employed if first (desipramine) either ineffective or poorly tolerated, added benefit psychological treatment; 3) combination treatment superior...
The purpose of this study was 1) to replicate previous work indicating that antidepressant medication is superior placebo in the treatment bulimia nervosa and 2) assess long-term efficacy form treatment.Eighty patients entered a three-phase protocol. An 8-week double-blind initiation phase used compare effects desipramine placebo. Patients who responded satisfactorily 16-week maintenance phase. remained well were then randomly assigned either or for 6 additional months (discontinuation...
In order to examine the eating behavior of individuals with newly proposed diagnosis, binge disorder (BED), standardized meals were served 20 obese women, 10 BED and without BED. When asked eat from a multiple-item array foods, subjects consumed significantly more calories than did Significant differences between two groups also found on several self-report measures. © 1993 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Medical educators increasingly have embraced literary and narrative means of pedagogy, such as the use learning portfolios, reading works literature, reflective writing, creative to teach interpersonal aspects medicine. Outcomes studies pedagogies support hypotheses that training can deepen clinician's attention a patient help establish affiliation with patients, colleagues, teachers, self. In this article, authors propose writing in particular is useful making physician. Of conceptual...
Robert Terry and colleagues present working definitions of operational research, implementation health systems research within the context to strengthen systems.
Recent studies suggest that binge eating disorder (BED) is as prevalent among African American and Hispanic Americans Caucasian Americans; however, data regarding the characteristics of treatment-seeking individuals from racial ethnic minority groups are scarce. The purpose this study was to investigate racial/ethnic differences in demographic symptoms participants enrolled treatment trials for BED. Data 11 completed randomized, controlled were aggregated a single database, Clinical Trials...
Obesity is as an independent risk factor for poor neurocognitive outcomes, including Alzheimer's disease. Bariatric surgery has recently been shown to result in improved memory at 12-weeks postoperatively. However, the long-term effects of bariatric on cognitive function remain unclear.Eighty-six individuals (63 patients, 23 obese controls) were recruited from a prospective study examining surgery. All participants completed self-report measurements and computerized test battery prior...
To document changes in Axis I psychiatric disorders after bariatric surgery and examine their relationship with postsurgery weight loss.As part of a three-site substudy the Longitudinal Assessment Bariatric Surgery Research Consortium, 199 patients completed Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV before Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or laparoscopic adjustable band. At 2 3 years surgery, 165 (83%) follow-up assessment (presurgery median body mass index = 44.8 kg/m, age 46 years, 92.7% white,...
Abstract Objective This study examines the course of eating pathology and its associations with change in weight health‐related quality life following bariatric surgery. Method Participants ( N = 184) completed disorder examination‐bariatric surgery version (EDE‐BSV) medical outcomes 36‐Item short form health survey (SF‐36) prior to annually Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or laparoscopic adjustable banding (LAGB) for up 7 years. Results The prevalence ≥ weekly loss control (LOC) eating,...
ABSTRACT Objective Bariatric surgery results in significant long‐term weight loss, albeit with considerable variability. This study examines the prognostic significance of eating pathology as determined by a structured interview, Eating Disorder Examination‐Bariatric Surgery Version (EDE‐BSV). Method Participants ( N = 183) this substudy Longitudinal Assessment (LABS) Research Consortium were assessed using EDE‐BSV, independent clinical care, presurgery and annually postsurgery. We examined...
Abstract Objective: To determine whether meal size is related to body mass index (BMI) in obese subjects with binge‐eating disorder (BED). Research Methods and Procedures: Five groups of each consumed two laboratory‐test meals on nonconsecutive days. Forty‐two women, categorized by BMI BED diagnosis, were instructed “binge” during one eat “normally” another. Eighteen women had values >38 kg/m 2 (more‐obese) 17 between 28 32 (less‐obese). Twelve the more‐obese nine less‐obese individuals...
