The Binge Eating Genetics Initiative (BEGIN) is an observational study where individuals with binge-eating disorder (BED) or bulimia nervosa (BN) complete assessments about eating disorder history, current disordered eating behavior, and mood. Participants also provide active data on binge eating, purging, nutrition, and cognitions using Recovery Record on the Apple Watch. Passive sensor data are collected via native applications over a 30-day period in 1000 individuals with BED or BN. Investigators will combine longitudinal passive (Apple Watch) and active (Recovery Record) data to predict when patients are at high risk of binge eating or purging. Results will enable the deployment of real-time, in-the-moment, personalized signaling of impending binge or purge episodes that will interrupt automatic behaviors and empower patients to exert control over binge eating and purging by engaging in therapeutic alternatives.

We propose to conduct a monthly group of persons with type 1 diabetes who also withhold insulin. Subjects will be asked to complete a 2-page survey (check-in sheet) at the beginning of each session and a 5-page survey (Diabetes and Eating Disorders Survey) on their first session and at their last session of their group.

This study will use functional magnetic resonance imaging to compare appetite-related brain activity in women with anorexia nervosa before and after receiving treatment for the disorder.

The primary aims of this study are to assess: The inter-rater and test-retest reliability of the MINI-KID The validity of the standard MINI-KID interview in relation to the parent rated pencil/paper version (MINI-KID-P) and th longer clinician rated "Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Aged Children-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL) and "expert opinion" (when available). Secondary aims will include evaluating the concordance between: The Children's Global Assessment Scale (a required part of the K-SADS) with the clinician-rated Sheehan Disability Scale (to be administered with the MINI-KID) as a measure of illness severity.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the etiology of the weight increase in Depot-medroxyprogesterone Acetate (DMPA) users. Method: Prospective study with 100 women, aged 18-40 years old and BMI < 30kg/m², paired with users of a non hormonal method follow for two years. Will be included only women who never used DMPA. There will be evaluated habit, blood pressure, anthropometric measure, distribution of corporal fat, lipids profile and glycemia parameters every six months. Thirty women and their control group will performed a euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp to evaluate the resistance of insulin, adiponectin,neuropeptide Y, apolipoprotein A/B and arterial evaluation with ultrasound, intimal and media measure. Anova analysis for repeated samples. The metabolic alterations should elucidate the etiology, and the beginning of the sub clinical cardiovascular disease should be shown/discarded with the arterial evaluation.

The alimentation of the premature newborn children is one of main thing concerning of nurses and pediatricians in neonatology. The absence of common tool of evaluation of the children cause a great discrepancy in prescriptions and the practices of the nursing.The aim of this study is to estimate the improvement of the food empowerment of the premature newborn children after the introduction of a help tool at the food progress which allows to fit the prescription of food(supply) to the capacities of the newborn child.
