The validity of the transdiagnostic cognitive-behavioural model of eating disorders has been examined in adults, however there is limited examination in adolescents with eating disorders. The present study examined the direct and indirect relationships between eating disorder symptoms and the four maintaining processes perfectionism, low core self-esteem, mood intolerance, and interpersonal difficulties.

Using a correlational cross-sectional design, adolescents with eating disorders (N=270; anorexia nervosa [restricting; 35.9%]; anorexia nervosa [binge purge; 8.1%]; bulimia nervosa [9.3%]; atypical anorexia nervosa [27.4%]; bulimia nervosa [of low frequency and/or limited duration; 3%]; purging [1.1%]; and unspecified feeding or eating disorders [15.2%]) completed measures of perfectionism, self-esteem, mood intolerance, interpersonal difficulties, and eating disorder symptoms as part of the intake assessment to an eating disorders program.

Path analysis revealed that low self-esteem and mood intolerancders. A limitation of the current study was the use of cross-sectional data. Future research should examine the transdiagnostic model with the use of longitudinal data. Furthermore, future research is required to examine potential differences in the way the maintaining mechanisms operate between adolescents and adults with eating disorders and the implications for treatment.A positive association between food addiction (i.e., an addiction to compulsively overeat highly palatable foods) and body dissatisfaction in college students exists. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms. Eating expectancies, one's learning history regarding the association between eating and its consequences, may provide potential pathways linking food addiction and body dissatisfaction. In the current study, five eating expectancies (i.e., eating helps manage negative affect, eating is pleasurable and useful as a reward, eating leads to feeling out of control, eating enhances cognitive competence, and eating alleviates boredom) were evaluated as potential mediators between food addiction and body dissatisfaction in 738 college students (mean age = 19.21 ± 1.63, 61.4% female). Students completed the Eating Pathology Symptoms Inventory, Yale Food Addiction Scale, and Eating Expectancy Inventory. Adjusting for sex, age, race, and body mass index, structural equation modeling was used to examine the bi-directional mediation effects of the eating expectancies between food addiction and body dissatisfaction. Results showed a bi-directional positive association between food addiction and body dissatisfaction (β = 0.12-0.26, standard error [SE] = 0.07-0.03, all p less then 0.01) that was partially mediated by the expectancy that eating leads to feeling out of control, regardless of whether body dissatisfaction was included as the independent or dependent variable (β = 0.15-0.36, SE = 0.05-0.02, all p less then 0.01). Findings suggest the need to address the influence of expecting eating to lead to feeling out of control in interventions for co-occurring food addiction and body dissatisfaction among college students.

Emotional eating is associated with a number of negative outcomes in children and adolescents, including higher levels of loss of control eating (i.e., the inability to control the amount of food consumed). There is a need for psychometrically sound and feasible measures that assess emotional eating in children and adolescents. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the convergent and discriminant validity of the 10-item Emotional Eating Scale Adapted for Children and Adolescents (EES-C) Short-Form in a community sample of adolescents. We also sought to assess the reliability and structural validity of this measure.

Participants were 128 adolescents ages 13 to 19years (mean age=15.10years; SD=2.09; 53.9% female). Most participants fell within the healthy BMI range (58.6%). Participants completed the EES-C Short-Form, the loss of control eating section of the Questionnaire on Eating and Weight Patterns-Adolescent Version 5, the Gratitude Questionnaire-Six-Item Form, and a demographic questionnairse data contribute to the existing research that support the EES-C Short-Form as a reliable and valid measure for assessing emotional eating in children and adolescents.

We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the prevalence of chest CT findings in patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection.

Systematic review of the literature was performed using PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Google Scholar to retrieve original studies on chest CT findings of patients with confirmed COVID-19, available up to 10 May 2020. Data on frequency and distribution of chest CT findings were extracted from eligible studies, pooled and meta-analyzed using random-effects model to calculate the prevalence of chest CT findings.

Overall, 103 studies (pooled population 9907 confirmed COVID-19 patients) were meta-analyzed. The most common CT findings were ground-glass opacities (GGOs) (77.18%, 95%CI=72.23-81.47), reticulations (46.24%, 95%CI=38.51-54.14), and air bronchogram (41.61%, 95%CI=32.78-51.01). Pleural thickening (33.35%, 95%CI=21.89-47.18) and bronchial wall thickening (15.48%, 95%CI=8.54-26.43) were major atypical and airway findings. Lesions were predominantly distributed bilaterally (75.72%, 95%CI=70.79-80.06) and peripherally (65.64%, 95%CI=58.21-72.36), while 8.20% (95%CI=6.30-10.61) of patients had no abnormal findings and pre-existing lung diseases were present in 6.01% (95%CI=4.37-8.23).

The most common CT findings in COVID-19 are GGOs with/without consolidation, reticulations, and air bronchogram, which often involve both lungs with peripheral distribution. VT107 order However, COVID-19 might present with atypical manifestations or no abnormal findings in chest CT, which deserve clinicians' notice.
