Differential Neural Correlates of Set-Shifting in the Bingeing-Purging and Restrictive Subtypes of Anorexia Nervosa Vrije Universiteit Brussel Ghent University
In this study, possible differences in the neural correlates of set-shifting abilities between the restrictive (AN-R) and bingeing/purging (AN-BP) subtypes of anorexia nervosa have been explored. Three groups of participants performed a set-shifting task during functional magnetic resonance imaging: patients with AN-R (N = 16), AN-BP (N = 13) and healthy control participants (N = 15). As in a typical set-shifting experiment, participants had ...

Forearm bone mineralization in recently diagnosed female adolescents with a premenarchal onset of anorexia nervosa Vrije Universiteit Brussel
OBJECTIVE: Data available on bone mineralization by peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) in adolescents with an early onset anorexia nervosa (AN) is limited. We investigated whether a disturbed bone mineralization can be observed at the distal radius in recently diagnosed female adolescents with AN and a premenarchal onset of this disease.
METHOD: Twenty-four premenarchal patients with AN and 22 healthy females which ...
Acute gastric dilatation causing acute limb ischemia in an anorexia nervosa patient Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND: Acute gastric dilatation is a rare but severe complication of anorexia nervosa. Gastric dilatation causing abdominal compartment syndrome with lower-limb ischemia is even less common. This case report illustrates the importance of a holistic clinical approach of every patient presenting to the emergency department (ED), even when the reason for admittance is organ specific.
CASE REPORT: We report the case of a young female ...
