February’s Journal Club is scheduled for Wednesday, February 24, from 8 to 9 a.m.

New location
This month’s meeting is being held at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin located at 9000 W. Wisconsin Avenue, Children’s Hospital Clinics Building, Adolescent Medicine, Suite 165 (enter on 2nd floor).

This month we will discuss typical and atypical restrictive anorexia nervosa (AN) as described by authors Paolo Santonastaso, MD; Romina Bosello, MD; Paolo Schiavone, MSc; Elena Tenconi, PhD; Daniela Degortes, MSc; and Angela Favaro, MD, PhD.

Typical and Atypical Restrictive Anorexia Nervosa: Weight History, Body Image, Psychiatric Symptoms, and Response to Outpatient Treatment. (Int J Eat Disord 2009; 42:464-470)

Few studies have examined the characteristics of atypical restrictive anorexia nervosa (AN) with a well-powered design.  The study aims to explore this issue, with particular attention paid to psychopathology and response to outpatient treatment.

A light breakfast will be provided. Please confirm your attendance by Friday, February 19, so Children’s Hospital can plan accordingly for breakfast. RSVP to Leah via lschwechel@rogershospital.org. A copy of the article is available by request.

Journal club provides an opportunity for members of the greater Milwaukee area’s professional eating disorders treatment community to discuss recent developments or trends in the field and to provide an opportunity for informal networking.

This year’s schedule has been sent to current journal club participants. To receive future invitations or schedules, contact Leah Schwechel at lschwechel@rogershospital.org to be added to our list.
