Taste Buds and Receptors01:20

Taste Buds and Receptors

3.0K
Gustation, or the sense of taste, is intrinsically linked to the anatomical structures located on the tongue. This organ's surface, along with the entirety of the oral cavity, is adorned with stratified squamous epithelium. Evident on the tongue are elevated structures known as papillae (singular = papilla), which house the mechanisms for the transduction of gustatory stimuli. Four distinct types of papillae exist, each identified by their unique morphological attributes: the circumvallate,...

Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System II: Health Perception Pattern

173
Assessing the gastrointestinal (GI) system is a complex process that begins with collecting subjective data. This data, collected through patient interviews, provides crucial insights into the patient's health history, perception patterns, and lifestyle habits, all contributing significantly to GI health.
Health Perception Patterns
Health perception patterns offer valuable insights into a patient's lifestyle habits and how they may impact their GI health. These patterns include:

In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Bulimia Nervosa01:30

Bulimia Nervosa

235
Bulimia nervosa is a complex and severe eating disorder characterized by a cyclical pattern of binge-and-purge eating pattern. It generally involves an episode of binge eating, followed by compensatory behaviors such as vomiting, excessive exercise, laxative use, or fasting, to prevent weight gain. Despite often maintaining a normal weight, individuals with bulimia are intensely preoccupied with their body image and harbor an overwhelming fear of gaining weight. This can contribute to the...

Introspection, long upheld as a reliable route to self-knowledge, involves examining one's thoughts, emotions, and mental processes. It underpins many psychological practices, from mindfulness meditation to psychotherapy and self-help strategies. However, empirical evidence challenges the accuracy of introspection as a means of understanding oneself.Limitations of Introspective InsightSeminal work by Nisbett and Wilson demonstrated that individuals are frequently unaware of the true causes...

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral Science
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Disordered eating is common in US Military Veterans, linked to obesity, diabetes, and mental illness.
  • Mindfulness interventions show promise for mental health and may address disordered eating in Veterans.
  • MB-SAVOR is a novel mindfulness-based eating program designed for this population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess Veterans' experiences with the MB-SAVOR program.
  • To determine if MB-SAVOR improved Veterans' relationship with food and their bodies.
  • To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of MB-SAVOR.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative in-depth interviews with 16 Veterans post-program completion.
  • Constant comparative method for thematic analysis of interview transcripts.
  • Inferential statistics to assess changes in weight, BMI, and HbA1C.

Main Results:

  • Key themes included increased awareness of eating cues, improved enjoyment of food, and enhanced mind-body connection.
  • Veterans reported dietary improvements and a better relationship with their bodies.
  • Significant reductions in weight (p=0.007), BMI (p=0.004), and HbA1C (p=0.3) were observed post-intervention.

Conclusions:

  • MB-SAVOR is a feasible and safe intervention for Veterans with disordered eating.
  • The program demonstrates efficacy in improving Veterans' relationship with food and body.
  • Findings inform treatment engagement for diet-related issues contributing to obesity and diabetes in Veterans.
