Article Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was whether the Food Intake Visual Scale (FIVS) can be used in clinical practice to measure food intake in patients with decompensated cirrhosis.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed with patients with cirrhosis between April 2017 and July 2019. The food intake was assessed through the 1-day diet record (DR) and according to FIVS, which consists of pictures of four plates of food at different levels of consumption: "about all," "half," "a quarter," or "nothing." The analysis of variance test with Bonferroni multiple comparison analysis was used to compare the mean energy intake through the DR according to the FIVS categories.
Results: This study included 94 patients with a mean age of 60.29 ± 9.33 years. Patients with lower food intake according to the FIVS categories also had lower mean energy and macronutrient intake according to the DR: patients eating "about all" (n = 49, 52.1%) consumed a mean of 1526.58 ± 428.27 kcal/day, patients eating "half" (n = 16, 17%) consumed a mean of 1282.08 ± 302.83 kcal/day, patients eating "a quarter" (n = 25, 26.6%) consumed a mean of 978.96 ± 468.81 kcal/day, and patients eating "nothing" (n = 4, 4.3%) consumed a mean of 353.59 ± 113.16 kcal/day (P < .001).
Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrate that FIVS can be implemented in clinical practice to measure food intake in patients with decompensated cirrhosis as a substitute for the DR because it is a noninvasive, low-cost, quick, reliable, and easy bedside method for obtaining data.

Prenatal Body Image: Association with Disordered Eating Behaviors and Depressive Symptoms Across Pregnancy.

Disordered eating behaviors and depressive symptoms can be problematic during pregnancy for both the individual and their offspring. Our study aimed to determine the extent to which body image dissatisfaction early in pregnancy predicts eating disorder behaviors and/or depressive symptoms across pregnancy. Participants ( = 253) completed self-report assessments of depressive and eating disorder symptoms alongside the modified Body Image in Pregnancy Scale in their first, second, and third trimesters.

Aims: To determine whether adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) treated with retatrutide report greater changes in self-reported appetite, dietary restraint, and disinhibition compared to placebo or dulaglutide and to examine associations with weight change.
Materials And Methods: These pre-specified exploratory analyses examined changes from baseline in Appetite Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Eating Inventory (EI) scores after 24 and 36 weeks of once-weekly treatment with placebo, dulaglutide 1.5 mg, or retatrutide 0.

Recent evidence suggests that parasite-mediated reductions in food intake (i.e., anorexia) in herbivores can trigger trophic cascades that increase producer biomass.

Objectives: Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) could transform how science is conducted, supporting researchers with writing, coding, peer review, and evidence synthesis. However, it is not yet known how eating disorder researchers utilize generative AI, and uncertainty remains regarding its safe, ethical, and transparent use. The Executive Committee of the International Journal of Eating Disorders disseminated a survey for eating disorder researchers investigating their practices and perspectives on generative AI, with the goal of informing guidelines on appropriate AI use for authors, reviewers, and editors.

Background: Evidence suggests that women should eat a healthy diet during pre-conception and pregnancy as this benefits their own health as well as reducing the risk of non-communicable diseases in offspring (such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular and mental health problems); however, previous work indicates that the recommendations are not being followed. This study aimed to understand: the facilitators and barriers to healthy food and diet practices during pre-conception and pregnancy; how these barriers could be addressed, and the changes required to facilitate good food practices.
Methods: The research used a qualitative approach; five online focus groups were undertaken with 19 women living across the UK who were trying to conceive, pregnant or had babies under 6-months old.
