IntroductionEating disorders are pathologies with potentially serious psychic and somatic consequences, and high mortality. Lifetime prevalence in adults is about 0.6% for anorexia nervosa, 1% for bulimia, and 3% for binge eating disorder. However, the prognosis is improved if a suitable care is quickly established. Caregivers are often highly involved and helpless in facing such diseases. They often express a significant psychological distress. We must contribute to provide them answers, to strengthen their key role as a resource and support for the patient. It is found that carers themselves are poorly trained in screening, diagnosing and supporting eating disorders. There are effective therapeutic approaches, such as psychoeducation, to improve therapeutic alliance.Objectives/aimsThis work aims to realize a French psychoeducational audio-visual tool for patients with eating disorders, their caregivers, and professional carers.MethodsWe made an extensive review of literature (focus on the international practice guidelines, existing psychoeducational tools), and several consensus meetings. We decided of original directions to drive the psychoeducational approach of the movies, taking into account previous findings.ResultsThis tool includes three movies approaching the symptoms and the choice of treatment setting, based on the disease course and the care's goals. They may be broadcasted on a national level through professional networks and associations involved in the treatment of eating disorders.ConclusionThis work improves the knowledge of eating disorders in carers, patients and their families. The relevance and effectiveness of this tool on the course of the disease has to be further evaluated.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Background: Hypertriglyceridemia in pregnancy is a rare but well-known cause of hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HTGP) in pregnancy, a life-threatening condition that lacks an established guideline for treatment management. Case presentation: We report a case with a successful treatment management of hypertriglyceridemia in pregnancy. A pregnant woman had been with hypertriglyceridemia for more than seven years and a history of pregnancy termination due to the development of HTGP. Eleven months after her last pregnancy termination, the woman was pregnant again and she started managing her elevated levels of lipids in the second trimester throughout the pregnancy, with low molecular weight heparin and then combined with metformin, to prevent thrombosis. Results: The entire pregnancy progressed smoothly, and the triglycerides' level fluctuated during the second and the third trimester of pregnancy with a range of 16.15 to 47.65 mmol/L. A full-term delivery, with a reasonable outcome for both mother and newborn, was obtained. Compared with her last pregnancy, the outcomes of recent pregnancy were better off. Conclusion: Low molecular weight heparin combined with metformin can avoid maternal hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis in this single case. To our knowledge, such a combination of treatment management of patients with hypertriglyceridemia in pregnancy to prevent acute pancreatitis has not been reported previously.

There are no adequate data that evaluate the safety and effectiveness of lowering triglyceride levels in very young children. The authors report a family with two male siblings, 7 and 4 years old, affected by familial hyperchylomicronemia. The oldest was diagnosed at birth during evaluation of jaundice, and the youngest showed asymptomatic hypertriglyceridemia by 6 months of age. Due to high triglyceride levels, Gemfibrozil (a fibric acid derivative) was started at diagnosis. Close clinical followup and laboratory monitoring of these children showed no side effects from the drug, and the risk of acute pancreatitis was significantly reduced.

ABSTRACTAnomalous pancreaticobiliary ductal union (APBDU) can cause recurrent acute pancreatitis. We describe the case of a 16-year-old boy with recurrent acute pancreatitis. The discussion provides a review of recent literature, supporting use of various diagnostic modalities and surgery as choice of treatment.

Abstract Acute pancreatitis represents an acute nonbacterial inflammation of the pancreas caused by a premature and ectopic activation of pancreatic digestive enzymes. Two of the most important genes in pancreatic autodigestion, PRSS1 and SPINK1, were implicated in the earliest discoveries of the genetic background of pancreatitis. However, the distribution of their variations displays interethnic variability, which could significantly affect the magnitude of their proposed effects on this disease worldwide. The aim of the present study was to investigate the distribution of the most important functional variations of PRSS1 (86A>T and 365G>A) and SPINK1 (101A>G), and their influence on the clinical course of acute pancreatitis in Serbian patients. The study enrolled 81 subjects, the severity of disease course was determined using the Atlanta Classification system, and the genotyping was conducted using a PCR-RFLP method. PRSS1 86A>T and 365G>A SNPs were not observed in the study population, while SPINK1 101A>G was present with the frequency of 0.62% (95% CI: 0.00, 3.83%). Due to extremely low frequencies or absences of examined variations, the proposed effect of these SNPs on the severity of acute pancreatitis could not be confirmed. The results do not support routine genotyping of either PRSS1 or SPINK1 in Serbs.
