Weight restoration in atypical anorexia nervosa: A clinical conundrum
We report the case of a 15 ‐year old female with a history of obesity and irregular periods who presented with significant weight loss and absence of menses for 3 months. She was hospitalized for severe malnutrition and bradycardia, initiated family based treatment, and regained periods. However, her vital sign instability and eating disorder cognitions did not resolve until she reached a weight at which point her periods again ceased due to polycystic ovary syndrome. This case highlights the need for regular monitoring during weight recovery and the clinical challenge of determining the treatment goal weight in adole sc...

Recurrent hyponatremia in a young adult woman with anorexia nervosa and the effects of insufficient communication
AbstractThis is the case of an 18 ‐year‐old young adult woman with anorexia nervosa (AN) who presented to the emergency department with complications from AN and was found to be hyponatremic. The hyponatremia was prioritized and corrected with fluids on hospital day one. The consulting adolescent medicine team recommended the pr imary inpatient medical team initiate the malnutrition protocol. Nephrology recommended fluid restriction. Despite initiation of this protocol and emphasis on protocol adherence with the primary team, patient, and family, the hyponatremia recurred. Retrospectively, there were three factors that...

Identifying a male clinical cutoff on the Eating Disorder Examination ‐Questionnaire (EDE‐Q)
DiscussionOverall, results provide preliminary support for the discriminant validity of EDE ‐Q scores among males. However, concerns remain regarding the measure's ability to comprehensively assess domains of disordered eating most relevant to males. Therefore, careful attention to the possibility for measurement bias and continued evaluation of the scale in males is encouraged. (Source: International Journal of Eating Disorders)
