RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Involuntary treatment may be a life-saving option for extremely severe anorexia nervosa (AN) in the context of life-threatening conditions and refusal of care. The long-term outcomes of patients undergoing involuntary treatment for AN are poorly understood. This study aims to explore quality of life, long-term outcomes and attitudes towards involuntary treatment in patients involuntarily treated for extremely severe AN. METHODS: 23 patients involuntarily admitted for extremely severe AN (I-AN), and 25 voluntarily admitted patients (V-AN) were compared for body mass index (BMI), residual symptoms, quality of life, and attitudes towards treatment almost four years after discharge. In I-AN, clinical variables were also compared between admission and follow-up. RESULTS: At follow-up, weight restoration was higher in V-AN (p = 0.01), while differences in quality of life, BMI, and mortality rates were not significant between I-AN and V-AN (p > 0.05). In I-AN, BMI increased and weight-controlling strategies decreased at follow-up (p < 0.05). Despite negative experiences of involuntary treatment, the perception of the necessity of treatment increased from admission to follow-up (p < 0.01) and became comparable to V-AN (p > 0.05). DISCUSSION: Involuntary treatment for AN does not appear to be a barrier to weight gain and clinical improvement, nor to long-term attitudes towards treatment.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Treatment of anorexia nervosa (AN) sometimes requires hospitalisation, which is often lengthy, with little ability to predict individual trajectory. Depicting specific profiles of treatment response and their clinical predictors could be beneficial to tailor inpatient management. The aim of this research was to identify clusters of weight recovery during inpatient treatment, and their clinical predictors. METHODS: A sample of 181 inpatients who completed a treatment programme for AN was included in a retrospective study. A latent class mixed model approach was used to identify distinct weight-gain trajectories. Clinical variables were introduced in a multinomial logistic regression model as predictors of the different classes. RESULTS: A four-class quadratic model was retained, able to correctly classify 63.7% of the cohort. It encompassed a late-rising, flattening, moderate trajectory of body mass index (BMI) increase (class 1), a late-rising, steady, high trajectory (class 2), an early-rising, flattening, high trajectory (class 3) and an early-rising, steady, high trajectory (class 4). Significant predictors of belonging to a class were baseline BMI (all classes), illness duration (class 2), and benzodiazepine prescription (class 3). CONCLUSION: Predicting different kinetics of weight recovery based on routinely collected clinical indicators could improve clinician awareness and patient engagement by enabling shared expectations of treatment response.

RESUMO

The team is a fundamental and structuring dimension of care, founded on the principles of complementarity, interdependence, and shared objectives and responsibilities towards the patient. As a result of the pandemic and the rationalization of public hospitals, teams are faced with changes in the role of supervisors and the arrival of new figures such as advanced practice nurses. While these changes can bring new dynamism and questioning of practices, they can also be destabilizing. The institution must preserve the role of the team and its members.

RESUMO

Addiction is a dynamic field. Its ongoing changes reflect a persistent but evolving public health problem. Its evolution is reflected in subsequent classifications of mental illness. Numerous theories, inspired by psychoanalysis and neurobiology, address the development of the addictive process an many factors explain differences in susceptibility between individuals. In the last decade, behavioural addictions have been the subject of intense debate, leading to the inclusion of gambling disorder in the latest classification. The treatment of addictions is multifactorial and should take into account the specificities of each individual.

RESUMO

The caregiver-patient relationship has progressively evolved to focus on the development of the patient's autonomy. The mobilization of the patient's resources is fundamental to their participation in the co-construction of the care protocol. Identifying these resources is an essential component of caregiving know-how. Differents tools are available to help patients develop their own abilities and skills. These strategies have a positive impact on their quality of life and the satisfaction they experience, through a renewed sense of efficacy over their lives.

RESUMO

Touching someone is a multisensory encounter with the other, it is listening, hearing, seeing, smelling, feeling, perceiving, etc. This contact allows for the interpersonal circulation of a host of information in a close relationship. The caregiver touches the patient's body with his or her eyes before beginning to grasp it with his or her hands. In order to adjust his or her approach to care, he or she must be attentive to the messages that the patient sends. But touching a patient's body also means that the caregiver is touched by the emotions produced by the confrontation of the person's body with his or her own body.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Low bone mineral density (BMD) is a frequent and invalidating consequence of chronic undernourishment in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN). The aim of this study was to assess prevalence and clinic-biological correlates of low BMD and fractures in extremely undernourished inpatients with AN. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENTS: This study included 97 extremely malnourished female inpatients with AN consecutively admitted over 2 years. Clinical-biological variables, history of fractures and BMD by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) were examined to find predictors of low BMD and fractures. RESULTS: The prevalence of low BMD was of 51% for lumbar spine and 38% for femoral neck. Z-scores were lower at lumbar spine (-2.2 ± 1.2 SD) than at femoral neck (-1.9 ± 0.9 SD) (P<.01). Fragility fractures were reported by 10% of patients. BMD was mainly predicted by FFM, illness duration, age at onset and restricting AN (P<.05). Fractures were predicted by sodium concentrations, femoral neck Z-score and illness duration (P<.03). CONCLUSION: Extremely severe patients with AN have high prevalence of low BMD, predicted by severity and chronicity of malnutrition.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The persistence of physical exercise in anorexia nervosa (AN) despite underweight and its maintaining factors are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to explore the attitudes toward physical exercise and its effects on emotions, cognitive functioning, and body image perception in patients with AN, and to search for exercise-related endophenotypes of the pathology. METHODS: Physical exercise dependence, quantity, and dysregulation were assessed by the Exercise Dependence Scale (EDS), the Godin Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire (GLTEQ) and a standardized effort test in 88 patients with AN, 30 unaffected relatives and 89 healthy controls. Changes in positive and negative affect, cognitive rigidity, and body image distortion were measured before and after the effort test in the three groups. RESULTS: Patients with AN had higher scores on the EDS and the GLTEQ and used more effort in the standardized effort test. These three measures of physical exercise correlated with negative emotions at baseline. After the effort test, patients with AN had marked emotional improvement, a moderate increase in body image distortion and a small increase in cognitive rigidity compared to HC. Unaffected relatives also had a significant postexercise increase of positive emotion. DISCUSSION: The mood-related drive for physical exercise has the characteristics of an endophenotype of the disorder. Excessive and driven physical exercise may be state-associated features of AN, driven by the positive effect on emotional wellbeing.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Poor cognitive flexibility has been highlighted in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN), contributing to the development and maintenance of symptoms. The aim of the present study is to investigate how enhanced cognitive flexibility is involved in treatment outcomes in patients with AN. METHOD: One hundred thirty female out-patients treated for AN have been assessed at baseline and after 4 months of treatment. Path analyses were used to investigate the mediating role of cognitive flexibility, measured through the Brixton test, on a wide range of outcomes: body mass index, eating disorder symptoms, daily life functioning, anxiety, depression, emotions, self-rated silhouette. RESULTS: Cognitive flexibility was improved during treatment, and enhanced cognitive flexibility explains a significant part of level of the improvement in daily life functioning (26%), reduction of eating disorder symptoms (18%) and reduction of depressive symptoms (17%). Others outcomes were also improved, but these improvements were not mediated by cognitive flexibility. CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that enhancing cognitive flexibility could help reduce rigid cognitive and behavioural patterns involved in AN, thus improving everyday functioning and clinical severity. Further studies combining different types of cognitive flexibility evaluation as well as neuroimaging may be necessary to better establish which of its aspects are involved in patients' improvement.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a mental disorder potentially leading to severe malnutrition and life-threatening complications, with high mortality rates and dropouts from treatment. In the most severe cases, treatment refusal associated with acute nutritional disorders may require compulsory admission in specialised units. The aim of this study was to investigate clinical and nutritional parameters associated with the use of compulsory treatment for severely ill AN patients requiring intensive nutritional care. METHODS: This retrospective, single-centre study performed in a unit of specialised nutritional care compared severely undernourished inpatients, compulsorily admitted for AN, with a population of sex- and age-matched voluntarily admitted patients. Socio-demographic and clinical variables were collected for univariate comparison and logistic regression. RESULTS: Compulsory treatment in AN was mainly associated with lower socio-economic status (p < 0.01), history of lower weight (p < 0.05), more frequently prescribed psychotropic medication (p = 0.02), more previous admissions for AN, longer hospitalisations (p < 0.01) and binge eating/purging subtype (p = 0.02). Binge eating/purging subtype and the number of past admissions showed the strongest odds of compulsory treatment in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION: The knowledge of factors associated with compulsory treatment may help practitioners of all fields to better evaluate its pertinence and indications in AN.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Transverse myelitis (TM) is an inflammatory disorder that can be idiopathic or associated with central nervous system autoimmune/dysimmune inflammatory diseases, connective tissue autoimmune diseases, or post-infectious neurological syndromes. Prognosis of initial TM presentations is uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To identify outcome predictors in TM. METHODS: Retrospective study on isolated TM at onset. Scores ⩾3 on the modified Rankin scale (mRS) marked high disability. RESULTS: A total of 159 patients were identified. TM was classified as follows: idiopathic (I-TM, n = 53), post-infectious (PI-TM, n = 48), associated with multiple sclerosis (MS-TM, n = 51), or neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders/connective tissue autoimmune diseases/neurosarcoidosis ( n = 7). At follow-up (median, 55 months; interquartile range, 32-80), 42 patients were severely disabled, and patients with I-TM or PI-TM showed the worst outcomes. Predictors of disability were infectious antecedents, sphincter and pyramidal symptoms, high mRS scores, blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier damage, lumbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesions on univariate analysis, and older age (odds ratio (OR), 1.1; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.0-1.1), overt/subclinical involvement of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) (OR, 9.4; 95% CI, 2.2-41.0), complete TM (OR, 10.8; 95% CI, 3.4-34.5) on multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION: Our findings help define prognosis and therapies in TM at onset. Infectious antecedents and PNS involvement associate with severe prognosis. Nerve conduction studies and lumbar MRI could improve the prognostic assessment of this condition.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Excessive exercise is frequently associated with eating disorders and may degenerate into exercise addiction. We still don't know whether runners at risk for eating disorders are at risk for exercise addiction. Our aim is to assess: 1) risk for exercise addiction in runners at risk for eating disorders and 2) socio-demographic, behavioral and psychological characteristics distinguishing runners at-risk from not-at-risk for eating disorders. METHODS: We assessed risk for eating disorders and exercise addiction using the SCOFF questionnaire and the Exercise Addiction Inventory personality traits with the Big-Five Inventory Test, socio-demographic data, eating and training habits in a sample of 154 healthy runners. RESULTS: Twenty five subjects had a score of ≥2 at the SCOFF and were included in the group "at risk for eating disorders". In this group, we found a higher percentage of subjects at risk for exercise addiction (p=0.01) and higher average scores at the Exercise Addiction Inventory (p=0.01) than runners not at risk (N=136). Runners at risk were statistically younger (p=0.03), women (p=0.001), started running to lose weight more often (p=0.03), lost more kilos since affiliation in their running club (p=0.04), and were characterized by neurotic traits using the Big-Five-Inventory Test (p=3.10-6). CONCLUSIONS: Screening for exercise addiction and mood disorders could lead to a more accurate management of runners at risk for eating disorders. Identifying vulnerable individuals will facilitate the prevention of eating disorders and preserve the benefits of sport practice.

RESUMO

A healthy 29-year-old man suffered from adult-onset epilepsy, characterized by polymorphic progressive seizures resistant to AEDs, leading to unilateral cortical deficits and atrophy of the left hemisphere. The disorder satisfied the clinical, EEG, and imaging criteria for a diagnosis of Rasmussen's encephalitis. During the acute phase of the disease, intrathecal synthesis of specific anti-CMV IgG was identified. This case was characterized by a very mild course and remission of seizures following a treatment with high-dose intravenous polyvalent immunoglobulins containing a high anti-CMV titre. The patient remained symptomless for more than 15 years from clinical onset and more than eight years after the discontinuation of immunological therapy. In agreement with a recent report, this case confirms that adult-onset Rasmussen's encephalitis syndrome may occur with a very mild clinical picture and persistent remission. In this case, the specific index for intrathecal production of anti-CMV antibodies suggested possible CMV involvement, indicating specific immuno-therapy as a treatment choice.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The Videos of Physical Exercise and Sedentary Behaviours (VPESB) database is a novel database designed to experimentally investigate neural reactivity to physical exercise. The aim of this database is to provide a variety of dynamic images with a minimum of confounding factors. METHODS: A total of 196 healthy participants were recruited to evaluate 10 clips of sedentary activities and 10 clips of physical exercise. Each activity was performed by a male and female performer, resulting in a total of 40 video clips of 10 s each. RESULTS: The validation procedure confirmed the ability of these videoclips to accurately represent both sedentary and physical activity. In addition, video clips of physical activity were associated with higher effort ratings than sedentary activities (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The VPESB is a versatile, rapid and easy-to-use tool that can be used to understand emotional and behavioural approaches to physical activity and to better disentangle some clinical conditions in which physical activity plays a central role.

RESUMO

Cognitive impairment remains understudied in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), despite the high prevalence and substantial burden associated with this disorder. We aimed to assess cognitive impairment in patients with GAD and evaluate the ability of cognitive tests to detect this disorder. Because of its high rate of comorbidity, we also examined how other anxiety disorders and current major depressive episodes affected our results. We tested 263 consecutive general practice outpatients. We used the GAD-7 and the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) to detect anxiety and mood disorders. We assessed cognitive performance with the Stroop test, a facial emotion recognition test, and the trail-making test (TMT). Compared to patients without GAD, patients with GAD were significantly slower to complete the TMT(B-A) and faster to recognize emotions, especially negative ones such as disgust and anger. When controlling for other anxiety disorders and current major depressive episode, GAD retained a significant effect on the TMT(B-A), but not on the emotion recognition test. The TMT(B-A) could detect GAD with good accuracy (area under the curve (AUC) = 0.83, maximal Youden's index = 0.56), which was by no means comparable to the GAD-7 (AUC = 0.97, Youden's index = 0.81). While it is not efficient enough to replace the GAD-7 as a diagnostic tool, the capacity of the TMT(B-A) to detect GAD emphasizes the importance of cognitive flexibility impairment in GAD.

RESUMO

Exercise addiction (EA) refers to excessive exercise, lack of control, and health risks. The Exercise Addiction Inventory (EAI) is one of the most widely used tools in its assessment. However, the cross-cultural psychometric properties of the EAI could be improved because it misses three pathological patterns, including guilt, exercise despite injury, and experienced harm. Therefore, the present study tested the psychometric properties of the expanded EAI (EAI-3) in a large international sample. The EAI-3 was administered to 1931 physically active adult exercisers speaking five languages (Chinese, German, Italian, Japanese, and Turkish) and other measures for obsessive-compulsive behavior, eating disorders, and personality traits. The assessment structure and reliability of the EAI-3 were tested with factorial analyses and through measurement invariance across languages and sex. Finally, a cutoff point for dysfunction-proneness was calculated. The EAI-3 comprised two factors, reflecting the positive and pathological sides of exercise. The structure had excellent reliability and goodness-of-fit indices and configural and metric invariances of the scale were supported. However, three items caused violations in scalar invariance. The results of partial measurement invariance testing suggested an adequate fit for the data. Following sensitivity and specificity analysis, the EAI-3's cutoff score was 34 out of a maximum score of 48. This preliminary study suggests that the EAI-3 is a promising tool for screening EA in an international sample, with a robust and reliable structure comparable across languages and sex. In addition, the proposed cutoff could pave the way toward a consensus on a threshold to screen for EA.

RESUMO

Introduction: Body image distortion is a core symptom of anorexia nervosa (AN), embodying dissatisfaction and overvaluation of body appearance and weight. Body image distortion is an important factor in the maintenance of weight loss behaviours such as compulsive physical exercise. Conversely, physical exercise seems to have an aggravating effect on body image in patients with AN, but the evidence is still poor. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between body image distortion and physical exercise in AN in order to understand whether physical exercise may play a specific role in body image distortion beyond psychopathological severity. Methods: Forty patients with AN and 21 healthy controls were tested for body image distortion and different proxies of physical exercise. Univariate correlations tested the relationship between body image distortion and physical exercise in AN and control groups. Then, to experimentally assess the effect of exercise on body image distortion, participants were invited to rate their body image before and after a standardised effort test. Results: In the AN group, a correlation was found between physical activity and body image distortion (p < 0.01), which was still significant after controlling for psychopathological severity. No correlation was found in healthy controls. After a standardised effort, patients with AN had higher increases in body image distortion than healthy controls (almost 4 kg/m2 vs. 0.8 kg/m2) (p < 0.01). Discussion: Physical exercise may contribute to the distortion of body image in anorexia nervosa and explain the paradoxical augmentation of unhealthy exercise despite ongoing weight loss.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) show impaired decision-making ability, but it is still unclear if this is a trait marker (i.e., being associated with AN at any stage of the disease) or a state parameter of the disease (i.e., being present only in acutely ill patients), and if it has endophenotypic characteristics. The aim of this study was to determine the endophenotypic, and state- or trait-associated nature of decision-making impairment in AN. METHODS: Ninety-one patients with acute AN (A-AN), 90 unaffected relatives (UR), 23 patients remitted from AN (R-AN), and 204 healthy controls (HC) carried out the Iowa gambling task (IGT). Prospective valence learning (PVL) model was employed to distinguish the cognitive dimensions underlying the decision-making process, that is, learning, consistency, feedback sensitivity, and loss aversion. IGT performance and decision-making dimensions were compared among groups to assess whether they had endophenotypic (i.e., being present in A-AN, UR, and R-AN, but not in HC) and/or trait-associated features (i.e., present in A-AN and R-AN but not in HC). RESULTS: Patients with A-AN had lower performance at the IGT (p < 0.01), while UR, R-AN, and HC had comparable results. PVL-feedback sensitivity was lower in patients with R-AN and A-AN than in HC (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Alteration of decision-making ability did not show endophenotypic features. Impaired decision-making seems a state-associated characteristic of AN, resulting from the interplay between trait-associated low feedback sensitivity and state-associated features of the disease.
