TL;DR: The Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q) as discussed by the authors is a variant of the EDE-Q, which is used by Fairburn and Beglin to diagnose eating disorders.
Abstract: Zusammenfassung. Der Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire von Fairburn und Beglin (EDE-Q; 1994) ist die Fragebogenversion des strukturierten Essstorungsinterviews Eating Disorder Examination (EDE). Der EDE-Q erfasst die spezifische Essstorungspsychopathologie mithilfe von vier Subskalen zum gezugelten Essverhalten, zu Sorgen uber das Essen, Gewicht und Figur. Die in diesem Beitrag vorgestellte deutschsprachige Ubersetzung des EDE-Q wurde in Stichproben mit Anorexia nervosa, Bulimia nervosa und atypischen Essstorungen, sowie nicht-klinischen, subklinischen und psychiatrischen Vergleichsgruppen teststatistisch untersucht (N = 706). Der EDE-Q erwies sich als intern konsistent und stabil. Seine faktorielle Struktur wurde teilweise reproduziert. Die Kennwerte des EDE-Q waren signifikant mit denen des EDE korreliert, fielen erwartungsgemas jedoch teilweise hoher aus. Weitere Hinweise fur die konvergente Validitat ergaben sich durch Korrelationen mit konzeptverwandten Fragebogen. Der EDE-Q zeigte eine gute ...

TL;DR: A marked effect of GLP-1 on appetite is demonstrated by showing enhanced satiety and reduced energy intake in patients with diabetes type 2.
Abstract: Glucagon-like peptide-1-(7-36) amide (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone of the enteroinsular axis. Recent experimental evidence in animals and healthy subjects suggests that GLP-1 has a role in controlling appetite and energy intake in humans. We have therefore examined in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study in 12 patients with diabetes type 2 the effect of intravenously infused GLP-1 on appetite sensations and energy intake. On 2 days, either saline or GLP-1 (1.5 pmol. kg-1. min-1) was given throughout the experiment. Visual analog scales were used to assess appetite sensations; furthermore, food and fluid intake of a test meal were recorded, and blood was sampled for analysis of plasma glucose and hormone levels. GLP-1 infusion enhanced satiety and fullness compared with placebo (P = 0.028 for fullness and P = 0.026 for hunger feelings). Energy intake was reduced by 27% by GLP-1 (P = 0.034) compared with saline. The results demonstrate a marked effect of GLP-1 on appetite by showing enhanced satiety and reduced energy intake in patients with diabetes type 2.

TL;DR: In this article, the choice of kernels for nonparametric estimation of regression functions and their derivatives is investigated, and explicit expressions are obtained for kernels minimizing the asymptotic variance or the IMSE (the present proof of the optimality of the latter kernels up to order k = 5).
Abstract: SUMMARY The choice of kernels for the nonparametric estimation of regression functions and of their derivatives is investigated Explicit expressions are obtained for kernels minimizing the asymptotic variance or the asymptotic integrated mean square error, IMSE (the present proof of the optimality of the latter kernels is restricted up to order k = 5) These kernels are also of interest for the nonparametric estimation of probability densities and spectral densities A finite sample study indicates that higher order kernels-asymptotically improving the rate of convergence-may become attractive for realistic finite sample size Suitably modified kernels are considered for estimating at the extremities of the data, in a way which allows to retain the order of the bias found for interior points

TL;DR: It is implied that constitutively active TRPC3-type channels, which are up-regulated in TRPC6-deficient smooth muscle cells, are not able to functionally replace TRPC 6, which has distinct nonredundant roles in the control of vascular smooth muscle tone.
Abstract: Among the TRPC subfamily of TRP (classical transient receptor potential) channels, TRPC3, -6, and -7 are gated by signal transduction pathways that activate C-type phospholipases as well as by direct exposure to diacylglycerols. Since TRPC6 is highly expressed in pulmonary and vascular smooth muscle cells, it represents a likely molecular candidate for receptor-operated cation entry. To define the physiological role of TRPC6, we have developed a TRPC6-deficient mouse model. These mice showed an elevated blood pressure and enhanced agonist-induced contractility of isolated aortic rings as well as cerebral arteries. Smooth muscle cells of TRPC6-deficient mice have higher basal cation entry, increased TRPC-carried cation currents, and more depolarized membrane potentials. This higher basal cation entry, however, was completely abolished by the expression of a TRPC3-specific small interference RNA in primary TRPC6(-)(/)(-) smooth muscle cells. Along these lines, the expression of TRPC3 in wild-type cells resulted in increased basal activity, while TRPC6 expression in TRPC6(-/-) smooth muscle cells reduced basal cation influx. These findings imply that constitutively active TRPC3-type channels, which are up-regulated in TRPC6-deficient smooth muscle cells, are not able to functionally replace TRPC6. Thus, TRPC6 has distinct nonredundant roles in the control of vascular smooth muscle tone.
