Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

European Eating Disorders Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective While loss of control (LOC) eating is associated with poor outcomes following metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), the mechanisms driving it are less understood. This study used momentary, naturalistic data to examine glucose as a biological correlate of LOC eating after Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass (RYGB).

Leptin Reduces Running in a Rodent Anorexia Nervosa Model via a Distributed Neural Network
European Eating Disorders Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Hyperactivity is a persistent and clinically relevant symptom in anorexia nervosa (AN). Hyperactivity is inversely correlated with leptin levels. While systemic leptin administration attenuates hyperactivity in rodent models, the specific brain regions mediating this effect remain unclear.

Dietary and biomarker‐guided strategies as supportive measures in the fragile X syndrome
Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.Abstract The fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited neurodevelopmental disorder that primarily affects males, often resulting in an IQ below 55, while about two‐thirds of females also experience intellectual disability. Physical features may include an elongated face, prominent ears, finger joint laxity, and enlarged testes in males.
