Personalized networks of eating disorder symptoms predicting eating disorder outcomes and remission
Enhanced cognitive–behavioral therapy (CBT-E) is one of the primary evidence-based treatments for adults with eating disorders (EDs). However, up to 50% of individuals do not respond to CBT-E, likely because of the high heterogeneity present even within similar diagnoses. This high heterogeneity, especially in regard to presenting pathology, makes it difficult to develop a treatment based “on averages” and for clinicians to accurately pinpoint which symptoms should be targeted in treatment. As such, new models based at both the group, and individual level, are needed to more accurately refine targets for personalized evidence-based treatments that can lead to full remission. The current study (Expected N = 120 anorexia nervosa, atypical anorexia nervosa, and bulimia nervosa) will build both group and individual longitudinal models of ED behaviors, cognitions, affect, and physiology. We will collect data for 30 days utilizing a mobile application to assess behaviors, cognition, and affect and a sensor wristband that assesses physiology (heart rate, acceleration). We will also collect outcome data at 1- and 6-month follow-ups to assess ED outcomes and remission status. These data will allow for identification of “on average” and “individual” targets that maintain ED pathology and test if these targets predict outcomes, including ED remission

The importance of fault damage zones for fluid flow in low-permeable carbonate rocks – fault-related compaction fronts in the Danish North Sea
This study documents the timing and driving forces of the formation of fault-related compaction fronts in the Upper Cretaceous to lowermost Paleogene Chalk Group in the southern Danish Central Graben, based on the integration of 3D seismic, petrophysical log and clumped isotope data. The compaction fronts reflect zones in the low-permeable Chalk Group that underwent time-transgressive fault reactivation and pore fluid venting driven by movements of deeper salt and inversion movements. The fault-damage zones formed narrow permeability fairways that facilitated better drainage of compaction-driven pore fluids trapped in the matrix, eventually resulting in preferential mechanical compaction of the chalk. Salt doming during the Paleocene – Early Eocene, possibly linked to regional inversion tectonics, led to an initial phase of fault reactivation, offsetting the entire Chalk Group; pockmarks within this interval indicate release of pressurized fluids on the seafloor. Clumped isotope data from calcite-cemented veins associated with these fault-damage zones indicate precipitation from fluids that likely originated from Lower to Middle Jurassic strata at the root of these faults some 1500 m below the Chalk Group. Local thickening of the Paleocene to Lower Miocene Rogaland and Hordaland Groups matches a 20–50 m thinning of the chalk within the compaction fronts. This indicates that preferential drainage and compaction continued as the chalk became buried with clays, which became affected by polygonal-faulting causing episodic leak-offs. The results indicate that fault damage zones in low-permeability rocks may initially act as permeability fairways, but the improved drainage of formation fluids may over time cause preferential mechanical compaction and calcite precipitation. At present, the fault-related compaction fronts form low-porosity chalk bodies that may have acted as seals and/or re-directed fluid migration. The results have important implications for static and dynamic reservoir models, also in the light of Carbon Capture Storage and geothermal energy extraction and storage.•Better drainage of burial fluids in fault damage zones creates localized compaction fronts.•Reactivation of older fault fabrics underlying the chalk control locations of fault damage zones.•Salt movement, inversion tectonics, and differential compaction causes most deformation.•The localized compaction fronts formed during the Paleocene – Late Oligocene.•The overlying polygonally-faulted clays were not effectively sealing during this time
