Filter by:Altered emotional processing is reported in Anorexia Nervosa. However, this capability is generally measured through explicit measures, like self-report questionnaires and facial emotion recognition tasks. Instead, no previous research has investigated implicit emotional processing in this clinical condition. In the implicit facial emotion recognition task grounded on the implicit "redundant target effect", individuals generally respond faster when two identical targets are presented simultaneously rather than when presented alone; moreover, the competitive presence of a distractor (that is another emotion or a neutral expression) affects the correct recognition of the target. The ability to recognize and detect facial expressions is explored about two main emotions, fear and anger, because of their role in the intra- and interindividual psychological processing.

Heightened performance monitoring and overcontrol (HPM/OC) is characterized by inflexibility, a need for control, perfectionism, anxious apprehension and high error monitoring. HPM/OC is a cross-diagnostic (transdiagnostic) characteristic occurring across multiple forms of psychiatric illness that emerge in adolescence, including anorexia nervosa (AN), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and social anxiety disorder. This study characterizes behavioral and neural HPM/OC in healthy adolescents and adolescents with disorders characterized by HPM/OC, including AN and related eating disorders and anxiety, depressive and obsessive compulsive disorders. We then examine feasibility of a novel treatment for HPM/OC in adolescents, examining recruitment feasibility, exploration of the mechanism of HPM/OC and examining whether treatment is able to target neural and behavioral HPM/OC.
An acute randomized crossover trial comparing the effects of the whey hydrolysate, whey protein concentrate and placebo (still flavored water) on appetite and energy intake in older adults. Both low-dose whey-derived treatment and placebo will be administered 30 minutes prior to breakfast and lunch meals.

This is a study testing whether an online Multifamily Guided Self-Help Family Based Treatment (FBT) for Anorexia Nervosa in adolescents aged 12 to 17 is acceptable and useful to families. This online Multifamily Guided Self-Help version of FBT consists of 12 weekly 60-minute telemedicine groups made up of parents from 4-5 families of young people with AN, coupled with access to an online guided self-help platform over the course of 6 months. The feasibility of online Guided Self-Help Family-Based Treatment for Anorexia is unknown, and the investigators hope to identify an adequate treatment for those who do not have access to in-person FBT.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between age-related anorexia and personality traits in elderly individuals with comorbidities.
Reduction in appetite and/or food intake among older individuals is referred to as anorexia of aging (AOA, also known as Geriatric Anorexia). AOA is linked with myriad comorbidities associated with aging, contributes significantly to adverse health consequences in old age, and has been used as a predictor of morbidity and mortality. The overall aim of this study is to compare feasibility of body weight, body fat, body composition and activity assessments in elderly subjects in long-term care (LTC), nursing home, or assisted living facilities. This will be accomplished through the use of questionnaires in addition to devices that evaluate movement, body composition, and body weight.
