Treatment Of Eating Disorders

With the number of preschool-age children being prescribed stimulants, antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs on the rise, a group of researchers has suggested a standardized approach to treatment.

"These guidelines emphasize the importance of a family-focused assessment by clinicians with experience working with young children, the use of psychotherapy as the first line treatment for young children with severe psychiatric disorders, and the value of careful monitoring of symptoms and side effects when treating young children," said lead author Dr.

Socialization May Be Key To New Treatment For Anorexia Nervosa

Understanding how individuals with anorexia nervosa interact with others may lead to entirely new approaches to treating the disease which affects up to 10 million adolescents.Current treatments focus primarily on managing symptoms like starvation and low body weight. Although that's important, it is not always enough to result in lasting health, says Nancy Zucker, Ph.D, Director of Duke University Medical Center's Eating Disorders Program.In a comprehensive review of data published in the November issue of Psychological Bulletin, Zucker pinpoints many patterns of social dysfunction among individuals with anorexia nervosa. She and her colleagues at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill believe treatment focusing on these areas may help patients engage better with their family, friends, and health care providers.

A year later, artist in Boston marketing stunt embraces notoriety

Nevertheless, Berdovsky said he is still struggling financially, and he works at a studio inside a beat-up industrial building in Charlestown that is afflicted with bedbugs, bad pipes and noise from woodworking shops.

He said his expensive video and audio equipment was bought on credit, and he may have to sell some of it to pay the bills.

Richard Rinehart, the Berkeley museum's digital art curator, said 500 people show up the night Berdovsky was there, "and they were all enraptured by his performance."

Rinehart said he hired Berdovsky on a recommendation from another artist, not because of his Aqua Teen infamy. Not that that would have hurt.

"That kind of political mischievousness plays well at Berkeley," Rinehart said.

Apple TV

Designed to provide the missing link between the media files in your iTunes library and today's modern televisions (and their accompanying audio-visual components), the Apple TV nicely simplifies the occasionally daunting process of viewing computer-based content on a television. While limited in significant ways, the Apple TV is a solid first step in what I hope is a long line of increasingly capable Apple-branded AV peripherals.

About the size of a personal-size pizza (7.75 inches square, and just over an inch tall), the Apple TV ships with the bare necessities. Inside the box you'll find the unit itself, an Apple Remote (the same one that ships with many of Apple's computers), a power cable (with no power brick, thanks to the device's internal power supply), and some documentation.
