Binge eating in obesity
No full textOBJECTIVE:
To investigate the influence of dieting and of body shape dissatisfaction on binge eating.
DESIGN:
Longitudinal study following billiopancreatic diversion (BPD), when the body shape has become normal or nearly normal, and any worries over weight, dieting and food have probably been abandoned completely.
SUBJECTS:
65 severely obese patients, evaluated by clinical semistructured interview for occurrence of binge eating episodes prior to, and at one and at two years following BPD.
RESULTS:
Whereas preoperative binge eating had been reported by 65% of the obese individuals, at two years following BPD binge eating occurred only in 9.2% of them.
CONCLUSIONS:
Weight stabilisation following BPD is associated with a sharp improvement in control over food intake, and this suggests the central role of dieting and/or of body dissatisfaction in causing binge eating episode
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Binge eating in massively obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery.
No full textData on the prevalence of binge eating in a series of 92 massively obese patients
undergoing bariatric surgery are presented. A semistructured clinical interview
demonstrated that 63 individuals had problems with binge eating, 43 of these
reporting episodes of binge eating more than twice a week and then meeting the
diagnostic criteria for binge eating disorder. By comparison with their nonbinge
eating counterparts, binge eaters demonstrated higher body weight, greater weight
fluctuation due to reducing diets in their past lifetime, higher Three-Factor
Eating Questionnaire Disinhibition and Hunger score, and an overall higher
psychopathology as assessed by the Eating Disorder Inventory. The great
prevalence of binge eating in these patients could be accounted for by the high
body weight, by the characteristics of the patients, or by the context in which
the eating behavior assessment was carried out
