Physicians' perspectives on the treatment of patients with eating disorders in the acute setting
Abstract Background Hospitalisation for an eating disorder is rare, however treatment in the acute medical setting can be a life-saving admission. While the multidisciplinary team delivers overall patient care, medical decisions are the responsibility of the treating physicians. Treatment decisions directly impact on patient care and outcomes. This study aimed to explore the considerations that influence the medical decisions of physicians when treating patients with eating disorders in the acute setting. Method Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten medical physicians who had previously treated eating disorders on a general medical unit in two Australian tertiary hospitals. An interview schedule, based on the literature and four relevant domains from the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, was developed. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim and analyzed thematically. Coding and interim themes and sub-themes were developed by two dietitian researchers; these were further refined through researcher discussion and triangulation with two additional dietitian researchers. Results Ten doctors were interviewed (3 consultants (1 adult general medical and 2 paediatricians: 13â16âyears medical experience), 2 registrars (4â7âyears experience), 1 resident (1âyear experience), and 4 interns (<â1âyear experience). Doctors described memorable patient cases, related to hospital stays over several weeks. Interviews ranged in length from 58âmin to 91âmin. Four themes (with five sub-themes) were developed: 1) navigating uncertainty (focusing on processes and goals and seeking information), 2) being âthe good doctorâ (doing the right thing), 3) seeing the big picture (depending on key players and considering short and long-term), and 4) involving family and patient. Conclusions Non-specialist physicians described challenges in the treatment of eating disorders in the inpatient setting. They take a holistic approach that considers both short and longer-term goals, relying on specialist colleagues, the wider multidisciplinary team and sometimes family members to guide treatment decisions during admissions on general medical wards. Additional support, education and training centered on the key themes may increase physiciansâ confidence and ability to make effective treatment decisions for this patient group. The results are relevant to all health professionals working in this field to better understand the priorities of medical physicians and to support them to achieve positive outcomes in the inpatient treatment of patients with eating disorders

A Kucha\v{r} Hypertime Formalism For Cylindrically Symmetric Spacetimes With Interacting Scalar Fields
The Kucha\v{r} canonical transformation for vacuum geometrodynamics in the
presence of cylindrical symmetry is applied to a general non-vacuum case. The
resulting constraints are highly non-linear and non-local in the momenta
conjugate to the Kucha\v{r} embedding variables. However, it is demonstrated
that the constraints can be solved for these momenta and thus the dynamics of
cylindrically symmetric models can be cast in a form suitable for the
construction of a hypertime functional Schr\"odinger equation.Comment: 5 pages, LaTeX, UBCTP-93-02
Classic but unexpected: a case of Jefferson fracture.
A man was found lying dead next to a ladder, with only a laceration surrounded by an abrasion visible upon external examination. No skull fractures were palpable. A CT scan and MRI showed a Jefferson fracture of the atlas, associated to a posterior displacement of the skull, a fracture of the dens of the axis, and fractures of the bodies of C5 and C6. Jefferson fractures typically result from a blow to the apex of the skull. In such cases, forensic pathologists should suspect the existence of a Jefferson fracture, particularly when no severe injuries are visible externally
Seismic tomographic imaging of the Eastern Mediterranean Mantle: Implications for terminal-stage subduction, the uplift of Anatolia, and the development of the North Anatolian Fault
The Eastern Mediterranean captures the eastwest transition from active subduction of Earth'soldest oceanic lithosphere to continental collision, making it an ideal location to study terminalstagesubduction. Asthenospheric or subductionrelated processes are the main candidates for the region's âŒ2kmuplift and Miocene volcanism; however, their relative importance is debated. To address these issues, wepresent new P and S wave relative arrivaltime tomographic models that reveal fast anomalies associatedwith an intact Aegean slab in the west, progressing to a fragmented, partially continental, Cyprean slabbelow central Anatolia. We resolve a gap between the Aegean and Cyprean slabs, and a horizontal tear in theCyprean slab below the Central Anatolian Volcanic Province. Below eastern Anatolia, the completelydetached âBitlisâ slab is characterized by fast wave speeds at âŒ500 km depth. Assuming slab sinkingrates mirror ArabiaAnatolia convergence rates, the Bitlis slab's location indicates an Oligocene (âŒ26 Ma)breakoff. Results further reveal a strong velocity contrast across the North Anatolian Fault likelyrepresenting a 40â60 km decrease in lithospheric thickness from the Precambrian lithosphere north of thefault to a thinned Anatolian lithosphere in the south. Slow uppermostmantle wave speeds below activevolcanoes in eastern Anatolia, and ratios of P to S wave relative traveltimes, indicate a thin lithosphere andmelt contributions. Positive central and eastern Anatolian residual topography requires additional supportfrom hot/buoyant asthenosphere to maintain the 1â2 km elevation in addition to an almost absentlithospheric mantle. Smallscale fast velocity structures in the shallow mantle above the Bitlis slab maytherefore be drips of Anatolian lithospheric mantle
Somewhere in Europe (1947): locating Hungary within a shifting geopolitical landscape
Somewhere in Europe/Valahol EurĂłpĂĄban (RadvĂĄnyi, 1947) was one of the first films made in Hungary after 1945. Financed by the Hungarian Communist Party (MKP), it loudly proclaimed a broad European pertinence in an effort to privilege the universal narrative of childhoods disrupted by the war over narrowly national political concerns. The filmâs story of a gang of half-starved children battling for survival in a bombed-out Central European landscape places it squarely within a transnational post-war film-making tradition. Similarities with both Italian neorealism and Soviet socialist realist cinema indicate a shared European experience of the war, but is also attributable to the international training and experience of the filmâs personnel. The director RadvĂĄnyi had worked in the Italian industry, while the scriptwriter was the well-known film theorist BĂ©la BalĂĄzs, who had worked in Weimar Germany and Soviet Russia. This article argues that in spite of its ostensible commitment to a communist and humanist ideology, the film gives an insight into the Hungarian national obsession with territorial integrity. Hungaryâs participation in World War II on the side of the Axis, and its position as a defeated nation under Allied occupation, are seen to complicate the film text. This article contends that in spite its transnational flavour, the filmâs focus on lost children wandering a borderless Europe suggests a preoccupation with the countryâs uncertain position within a shifting geopolitical landscape. In turn, the filmâs official reading by NemeskĂŒrty shows an eagerness to accept the filmâs representation of Hungary as a blameless victim of the war, and gives evidence of a need to insert a (false) break between the countryâs wartime past as a member of the Axis, and the countryâs 1968 present as a member of the Communist world order
