Brain Imaging Studies Reveal Neurobiology of Eating Disorders
By BiotechDaily International staff writers
Posted on 30 Apr 2013
Current treatments for bulimia nervosa and anorexia are frequently inadequate and ineffective. Patients have a tendency to relapse, become chronically ill, and have a higher risk of dying.
"A major reason contributing to the difficulty in developing new treatments for these disorders is our limited understanding of how brain function may contribute to eating disorder symptoms," said Walter H. Kaye, MD, professor of psychiatry and director of the Eating Disorder Treatment and Research Program at the University of California (UC), San Diego School of Medicine (USA).
Recently, Dr. Kaye and colleagues reported the situation is changing. Cutting-edge brain imaging technologies, specifically functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), supported by grants from the National Institute of Mental Health (Bethesda, MD, USA), are beginning to be used to study and improve eating disorder treatments. With funding from the Global Foundation for Eating Disorders (GFED; New York, NY, USA), a group that promotes eating disorder (ED) research and improved treatments, the UC San Diego Eating Disorders Center for Treatment and Research has launched a new initiative to create more effective ED therapies based upon brain imaging studies.
"Brain imaging research has allowed for a shift from simply describing a symptom to understanding the cause of a symptom," said Dr. Kaye. "In the case of anorexia nervosa, imaging studies have helped us understand why people avoid eating and food and develop treatments that address the cause of the problem rather than secondary behaviors or symptoms. This is an important shift in the world of psychiatry similar to what revolutionized medical care decades ago. Today, if you show up at the doctor's office with a bad cough, he or she might run diagnostics to determine whether the cough was bacterial or viral in order to administer the appropriate treatment. Similarly, the more we understand the specific causes of eating disorders, the more effective, and targeted our treatments can become."
The UC San Diego program, under the directorship of Dr. Kaye, Kerri Boutelle, PhD, associate professor of pediatrics and psychiatry, Leslie Karwoski Anderson, PhD, clinical assistant professor of psychiatry and GFED scholars Stephanie Knatz and June Liang, is developing an imaging-based treatment strategy exclusively to handle the neurobiology of anorexia nervosa, in which patients obsess about being or becoming overweight. To prevent weight gain or lose weight, people with anorexia nervosa typical may starve themselves or exercise excessively.
Dr. Kaye reported that one neurobiologic target of anorexia and other eating disorders is anxiety. Most people get short-tempered when they do not eat and experience eating as both a reward and pleasant experience. Contrarily, anorexic individuals frequently feel severe anxiety when eating food, or even just anticipating eating, which results in severely reducing their food intake as a means of reducing their feelings of anxiety. "Recent imaging research has uncovered specific alterations in the brain associated with this link between food and anxiety in anorexic individuals," said Dr. Kaye. "This finding is important because it helps explain the of cause food restriction, the most critical and dangerous behavior in anorexia."
The UC San Diego researchers have used the new data to create new treatment strategies, including psychoeducation, i.e., teaching patients why symptoms occur and how to more effectively cope. "Many patients have described finally feeling a wave of relief after learning that the anxiety they experience is not their fault, but partly due to how their brain is responding to food," stated Dr. Kaye. "Understanding why their eating disorder is driving them to restrict allows them to better target their anxiety around meals. Strategies such as developing routines before meals have shown promise in reducing the anticipatory anxiety leading up to meals and food restriction."
Dr. Kaye noted that the brain-based therapy also benefits families of patients with eating disorders. "Through a better understanding of their family member's eating disorder and its causes, family members have found comfort and hope with a 'road map' guiding them through the recovery."

Fujitsu ultrasonic haptic tablet pictures and hands-on
Fujitsu likes to show off the future of its technology by displaying the cutting edge developments - not due out anytime soon - at Mobile World Congress. We stopped by to see its latest ultrasonic haptic feedback technology that was unveiled today at the show. Could it compete with Microsoft's example?
READ: Microsoft's 3D Haptic feedback display shows a very touchy future
Touch to feel
The tablet on display was built to create a sensation of feeling by simply touching the normal-looking screen of the slate. The technology uses ultrasonic vibrations to create the sensation of bumps, edges, ridges, protrusions and more. This is done by creating areas of high and low friction along the lines of the image. While the feeling isn't real it does a good job of tricking your hand. It has huge potential for another level of depth that can be added to the haptic feedback experience.
Different strokes
When we first tried the demo it was for sand. The feel was like repetitive haptic vibrations with the accompanying noise. But before we could feel disappointed we tried the violin strings - it was uncanny.
Next we tried a safe with a clicking twist lock. As the lock turned on the safe image, every click felt like it was on a real lock. Stroking a crocodile did feel like ridges but to say it felt like the real thing would be a stretch.
While these can't really be called texturised feelings this technology does enhance haptic feedback which could prove useful in the future. Imagine 3D modelling a design and being able to feel the ribs, edges or undulations. One day our hands-on review could, potentially, include 3D models which users can touch to "feel".
For the future
While right now the technology is still in its infancy there is potential for the future. Fujitsu said that this could be coming to the market one day but that it was far too early to say when. We'd like to see it in a tablet but if Fujitsu is holding on to the patents we might not see it in a tablet in the UK for some time.

'CSI' Star Gary Dourdan Arrested on Suspicion of DUI and Drug Possession
E! Online is reporting that Dourdan was arrested at 3:50 AM Monday after allegedly plowing into multiple parked cars while behind the wheel.
The 44-year-old actor was said to be walking away from the crime scene when police officers came by after a person reported the car crash.
TMZ is reporting that during the investigation, the police found "a few pills" of ecstasy and arrested Dourdan on a drug possession charge.
Dourdan was taken to a nearby station where he was booked and later released after he posted the $10,000 bail. The actor is due back in court on July 7.
This is not the first time the actor has been arrested for drug possession.
In 2008, police found Dourdan asleep behind the wheel of his car and upon investigation arrested him for possession of heroin, cocaine and ecstasy.
Dourdan avoided going to jail by pleading guilty to cocaine and ecstasy possession and entering a drug-diversion program.

It's crazy how much Gary Dourdan and Chris Cornell look like each other.
- Tuesday 14 JuneBy dlee
I certainly did enjoy him on CSI, upset when he left. But to set this record straight, he quit CSI, they did not force him off that show.He said he wanted to do other things, well I haven't seen him on anything since. He won't have to worry about working anymore if he continues down this path, too bad because he is talented and handsome. what a waste!

Is this what he meant -- by other things -- doing drugs? The get so full of themselves and think they are so very great (they usually aren't) and are bullet-proof -- they're not.

why do people love to see others fail or have everyday problems, just like their children, spouses, and other family members? so the man has a problem with substance abuse, there's gotta be a reason why. for one thing success is difficult to deal with. any fool can fail, but along with success there's a certain amount of responsibilities..thatmost people find hard to deal with, how about Robert Downy Jr. Charlie Sheen, And all the others that came along before Gary. give him the same sympathy and understang you gave the others. I still love and respect you for your talent Gary, just kick the HATERS to the curb.

Merlot Wine Bottle with Grapes Christmas Ornament
Personalized Christmas Ornament
Front label reads: MERLOT - MAY WE ALWAYS HAVE OLD WINES, GOOD FRIENDS, AND FLEETING CARES. Adorned with two bunches of red grapes, this bottle has a great sentiment for friends, making it the perfect gift for a couple who enjoys relaxing with a fine bottle of wine. The grapes that make a merlot are a dark blue variety and merlot is the diminutive of merle which means blackbird, in reference to the dark coloring of the grape that makes it. Probably the most popular red wine, this personalized merlot wine bottle ornament will be perfectly displayed on your Christmas tree.

Seriously Expensive Boo Boo
by Mike Stanz
posted Aug 11 2014 5:00AM
A guy in New Jersey went to the media recently when he visited an emergency room in Bayonne, New Jersey with a cut finger – basically, a boo boo – and came away with a bill totaling more than $8,000.
Yes, $8,000 for sterilization of the wound, a tetanus shot, some antibiotic cream, some bandages and a splint.
You can get most of those items at your local drugstore for about $50. Which makes that tetanus shot awfully pricey.
Good to see we've got health care in America under control!

INVESTORS SHOULD BE RUNNING TOWARD hedge funds, not away from them, according to experts at this week's Barron's/Winner's Circle conference for top financial advisers.
"The shakeout has begun, and more funds will get into trouble," predicted Richard Zinman, of Smith Barney. But Zinman feels that only a small minority of hedge funds will blow up in the aftermath of this summer's credit crunch. He said the need is greater than ever for wealthy clients to invest in vehicles like hedge funds that don't rise and fall with the U.S. market.
Investors can expect more volatility ahead, and well-selected hedge funds can give investors a measure of protection as well as profits during tumultuous times, agreed George Dunn, also of Smith Barney. Among the opportune areas: funds that take long and short positions in stocks, buy into foreign real estate or snap up securities of distressed companies on the cheap.
With nearly 10,000 hedge funds in existence, and $1.67 trillion under management, a convincing case can be made that growth will slow markedly.
Yet Morgan Stanley's Brian Pfeifler pointed out that hedge funds could see additional inflows from pension funds and wealthy foreign governments. "We're in the second or third inning of a game that's going to go into extra innings," opined Martin Halbfinger of UBS. Halbfinger acknowledges that some clients will be queasy about hedge funds after this summer's debacles, but in his view that will just put more pressure on advisers to size up managers face to face and make sure their investment strategies are sound.
Zinman, Dunn, Pfeifler and Halbfinger are on the Barron's/Winner's Circle list of the nation's top 100 financial advisers. Ninety of the Top 100 convened this week in New York,along with more than 400 other top-level advisers, to discuss best practices and the future of the financial industry.

Why history matters: The past in the present
28 July 2009
Time: 6:30pm - 8:00pm
Does History matter? How does the past shape the present? Should history play a role in shaping politics today? Should we be held accountable for the wrongs of the past? Does history divide or unite us? Former Premier of NSW Bob Carr and prominent Australian and American scholars discussed these and other issues.
How do studies of race and slavery, the American Civil War, Guantanamo Bay, the ANZACs and the stolen generations affect the way we see ourselves, and others? Panellists explore how and what we remember collectively, and how this contributes to our sense of patriotism, nationalism, or indeed, alienation. What does it mean to write, and embrace, more inclusive histories? Can new accounts of the past help us to create a better future? This forum takes up the challenge of determining how history matters, and who should take responsibility for it.

Expedition to Northern Tibet, Part 2: Where the Wild Yak Roams
Kiang live up here.
We're in the highest, most desolate section of Tibetan Plateau; a place no one lives and very few visit. And yet even here we're accompanied by oddly domestic shapes. Kiang, or Tibetan wild ass (Equus kiang), are a strikingly coloured relative of the donkey; their red-brown backs contrasting sharply with white flanks, belly, legs, neck and muzzle.
They can survive more arid conditions than any other large mammal on the plateau, and like their less-wild cousins, are masters at finding food where there appears to be none. Their equine shape and canter are familiar even to someone who has spent very little time with horses.
As we struggle with our bike and trailers, slouching exhausted every couple of hundred meters, the domestication of equines seems like one of our species smartest achievements.
A big part of the Chinese government's motivation for creating these nature preserves (Kekexili and Aerjinshan) was protection for the endangered Tibetan antelope or chiru (Pantholops hodgsoni). With slender arched horns the colour of ebony, chiru are an attractive antelope. But it is their pelts that are the cause of their decline. To deal with extreme cold, chiru have an extraordinarily fine and soft undercoat, known as Shahtoosh. Considered among the most luxurious and prized of all animal fibres, a shawl made of Shahtoosh can supposedly be passed through a wedding ring.
Poaching of these antelope – dramatized in the haunting film Kekexili Mountain Patrol – has pushed the small remaining population to the highest and most remote parts of the Tibetan Plateau.

BEREA, Ohio – A daily review of the hot topics coming out of the Cleveland Browns training camp:
The offense has a ways to go. When the starting unit gets three possessions, the backups two and the threes one and the defense produces more points and a guy named Jacobbi McDaniel is mentioned for knocking a pass in the air that is intercepted and for returning a fumble following another interception for a touchdown then the offense needs work. The Browns have two quarterbacks who have a combined four NFL starts competing in a complex offense with long play-calls. The best playmaker (Josh Gordon) was in New York appealing an NFL suspension. The second-best playmaker (tight end Jordan Cameron) left after the first series after getting his shoulder "banged." The quarterbacks said they have to keep getting better. As Vonnegut might say, so it goes.
It's a never-ending story for the Browns prompted by constant change in coach and system. Players each and every year have to step into a new system, learn new plays and try to adjust to a new approach. For the Browns it's three coaches and three offenses in three years. While the Browns are learning a completely new system, their rivals in the AFC North – Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Cincinnati – are working with the same quarterback, same plays and same offense. It's tough to try to catch up each and every fall.
With Gordon gones, Miles Austin stepped in to the top spot, made three catches and would have had another big play had Hoyer's pass not been tipped at the line by (wait for it … ) McDaniel. Austin has strength, size and hands, and he is almost obsessed with his precision. The concerns with Austin are his hamstrings, but if healthy he has proven he can play.
Free safety Tashaun Gipson missed the scrimmage after spraining his knee on Friday in practice. Coach Mike Pettine said Gipson should miss only a few days. … Cameron was held out after the first series as a precaution, Pettine said.
Manziel said Thursday that he always has done better in games than practice. That was certainly true in the scrimmage, as Manziel had his best day. … As for Manziel's scrambling, Pettine said this: "We'll have to pick and choose those times. Maybe not as frequently. Because defenders at the NFL level are faster and better short-area quickness than maybe the guys he went against in college. Probably he'll have to learn it as he's going." … The best player on the field for the Browns? Cornerback Joe Haden.
Up next: The Browns have Sunday off and will return to the practice field on Monday at 9:30 a.m. in Berea, Ohio.

First lady Michelle Obama visited the Great Wall of China on Sunday, and Chinese authorities had local merchants pull a popular Obama-Mao t-shirt during her time there.
The t-shirt depicts President Barack Obama wearing communist leader Mao Zedong's cap.
Union picks fight with Subaru; dealership's clever
response makes headlines everywhere
According to the Weekly Standard, a pool reporter commented on a tip about merchants at t-shirt stalls being told to "temporarily suspend sales of t-shirts that show President Obama in a Mao hat."
The pool reporter added:
That tip turned out to be true. Several merchants denied carrying such items, but one merchant quietly took this correspondent to the back of her tent and showed off a whole box of the popular, normally seen t-shirts. As we were negotiating prices – she wanted 360 yuan, or roughly $60, an outrageous starting price – other merchants came by, and in Chinese, told her to be careful. The merchant became visibly rattled and put the t-shirts away.
This 2009 photo depicts a similar t-shirt, according to the Daily Mail:

Gay singer-songwriter Johnny Ray was so popular in the 1950s that some folks called him the "original Elvis." His highly emotional and histrionic singing caused teenagers so much excitement that he was condemned by parents and religious figures. Ray, who was best man at Judy Garland's wedding, has been name checked in numerous songs inlcuding Billie Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" and Dexys Midnight Runners' 1982 smash "Come On Eileen."

Former Maryland Official Pleads Guilty to Corruption
Jack B. Johnson, former county executive of Maryland's Prince George's County, home to one of the nation's wealthiest Black majorities, pleaded guilty to federal felony counts of bribery, extortion and witness- and evidence-tampering on Tuesday. Johnson and his wife, Leslie, a county council member, were arrested after an FBI raid on their home last November. An FBI wiretap on Johnson's phone recorded him instructing his wife to flush a $100,000 check from a developer down the toilet and to hide $80,000 in cash in her underwear. He'll be sentenced in September and faces a maximum of 40 years behind bars.
