Summary: Research suggests that cognitive behavioral therapy is more effective than other treatments for bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder, with interpersonal psychotherapy showing similar effectiveness for BED. Evidence for the effectiveness of CBT-ED for adult anorexia nervosa is currently lacking, and there is minimal evidence for adolescents. The development of CBT-ED has gone through early studies, comparisons with other therapies, and efforts to develop internet-based treatment.

Summary: This study, using a network analytic approach, found a relationship between interoceptive sensibility and trait anxiety through the tendency to evaluate one's own body as trustworthy, while interoceptive accuracy showed no considerable associations to other variables. The findings question the relevance of cardiac interoceptive accuracy for trait anxiety in healthy populations.

Summary: This systematic review found a relationship between eating disorders, particularly bulimia nervosa, and dental erosion. Individuals with bulimia nervosa were over 10 times more likely to experience tooth erosion, and self-induced vomiting increased the odds of tooth erosion by over 16 times.

Summary: The validity of diagnoses in the Swedish National Patient Register (NPR) is crucial for supporting research and policy recommendations. A comparison with the integrated National Quality Registers (QR) showed that the ED diagnoses in NPR have acceptable validity, providing valuable data for research purposes.

Summary: Research on Orthorexia nervosa (ON) is divided, with some studies suggesting it may fit the full-syndrome DSM-5 ED, while others propose that ON and DSM-5 EDs may co-occur. Only a few studies have suggested a relationship between ON and OCD. Currently, the clinical significance of ON and its relationship with EDs and OCD remains complicated and unclear, indicating a need for future research on the possible clinical course of ON.

Summary: This study finds that individuals with eating disorders have impaired time estimation ability, which is correlated with compulsive self-monitoring. Anorexia nervosa patients tend to overestimate time, while binge eating disorder patients tend to underestimate time, and their time estimation accuracy is also lower.

Summary: The associations between eating disorders (EDs) and schizophrenia have been recognized, and familial liability to schizophrenia in individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN) reveals distinct patterns of clinical outcomes. This study investigates the influence of schizophrenia genetic liability among individuals with EDs, finding that higher schizophrenia polygenic risk scores (PRS) are significantly associated with increased risk of major depressive disorder (MDD) and substance abuse disorder (SUD). Additionally, higher schizophrenia PRS is related to earlier age at first ED symptom, higher ED symptom scores, and increased risk of MDD and SUD.

Summary: This study investigated why women decline specialized ED treatment and found that they believed treatment only focused on nutritional rehabilitation and failed to address their self-identified needs. Women reported that treatment was characterized by rigid standard procedures that could not be adapted to their individual situations and preferences. They felt therapists failed to listen to them, resulting in them feeling deprived of their identity.

Summary: In this meta-analysis of 35 papers, we found that receiving a higher level of care, having psychiatric comorbidity, and higher severity of ED psychopathology were associated with a higher likelihood of relapse in eating disorders. Conversely, higher leptin levels, higher meal energy density/variety, higher motivation for change, higher body mass index/weight/body fat, better response to treatment, anorexia nervosa-restricting subtype diagnosis, and older age of ED onset were associated with a lower likelihood of relapse. Various moderators were also identified.

Summary: This study examined the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on child eating disorder hospitalizations in Quebec, Canada. The findings revealed an increase in hospitalization rates for eating disorders, particularly during the first and second waves of the pandemic. Girls aged 10-19 were most affected, but boys and individuals from different socioeconomic backgrounds were also impacted.

Summary: Assessing acute medical stability is important in patients with eating disorders, but attention should also be paid to the age-related consequences of malnutrition. Early and aggressive weight restoration is crucial for preventing long-term, potentially irreversible medical complications like linear growth impairment.
