Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited screening practices, minimal eating disorder training in the healthcare professions, and barriers related to help-seeking contribute to persistent low rates of eating disorder detection, significant unmet treatment need, and appreciable associated disease burden. The current review sought to broadly summarise the literature and identify gaps relating to the screening, assessment, and diagnosis of eating disorders within Western healthcare systems. METHODS This paper forms part of a Rapid Review series scoping the evidence base for the field of eating disorders, conducted to inform the Australian National Eating Disorders Research and Translation Strategy 2021-2031, funded and released by the Australian Government. ScienceDirect, PubMed and Ovid/Medline were searched for studies published between 2009 and mid 2021 in English. High-level evidence such as meta-analyses, large population studies and Randomised Control Trials were prioritised through purposive sampling. Data from selected studies relating to Screening, Assessment and Diagnosis of eating disorders were synthesised and are disseminated in the current review. RESULTS Eighty seven studies were identified, 38% relating to screening and 62% to assessment and diagnosis. The majority of screening studies were conducted in university student samples, showing high prevalence but only modest improvements in help-seeking in those studies that followed up post-screen. In healthcare settings, clinicians continue to have difficulty identifying eating disorder presentations, particularly Binge Eating Disorder, Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders, and sub-threshold eating disorders. This is preceded by inadequate and frequently homogenous screening mechanisms and exacerbated by considerable personal and health-system barriers, including self-stigma and lack of resourcing. While all groups are at risk of delayed or no diagnosis, those at particular risk include LGBTQ+ and gender diverse individuals, individuals living in larger bodies, and males. CONCLUSIONS A majority of individuals with eating disorders remain undiagnosed and untreated despite a high prevalence of these conditions and increased advocacy in recent years. Research into improving detection and clinician diagnostic skill is extremely limited. Innovative empirical research is strongly recommended to address significant individual and health-system barriers currently preventing appropriate and timely intervention for many. Limited screening in healthcare settings and low rates of eating disorder training in the healthcare professions are just some of the barriers to help-seeking which may contribute to delayed intervention and diagnosis in the eating disorders. This has significant impacts, prolonging treatment when it is finally received, and increasing healthcare costs for both the individual and the healthcare system. The current review is part of a larger Rapid Review series conducted to inform the development of Australia's National Eating Disorders Research and Translation Strategy 2021-2031. A Rapid Review is designed to comprehensively summarise a body of literature in a short timeframe, often to guide policy-making and address urgent health concerns. The Rapid Review synthesises the current evidence-base and identifies gaps in eating disorder research and care, in order to guide decision making and address urgent health concerns. This paper gives a critical overview of the scientific literature relating to the current state of screening, assessment, and diagnosis of eating disorders within Western healthcare systems that may inform health policy and research in an Australian context. It covers screening initiatives in both general and high-risk populations; personal, clinician and healthcare system challenges relating to help-seeking; and obstacles to accurate and timely clinical diagnosis across the eating disorders.

Abstract
Plasma disposition of florfenicol in channel catfish was investigated after an oral multidose (10 mg/kg for 10 days) administration in freshwater at water temperatures ranging from 24.7 to 25.9 °C. Florfenicol concentrations in plasma were analyzed by means of liquid chromatography with MS/MS detection. After the administration of florfenicol, the mean terminal half-life (t(1/2)), maximum concentration at steady-state (Css (max)), time of Css (max) (T(max)), minimal concentration at steady-state (Css (min)), and Vc /F were 9.0 h, 9.72 μg/mL, 8 h, 2.53 μg/mL, and 0.653 L/kg, respectively. These results suggest that florfenicol administered orally at 10 mg/kg body weight for 10 days could be expected to control catfish bacterial pathogens inhibited in vitro by a minimal inhibitory concentration value of <2.5 μg/mL.

Abstract
Novel and diverse functions of glial cells are currently the focus of much attention [A. Volterra and J. Meldolesi (2005) Nature Rev. 6, 626-640]. Here we present evidence that rat astroglia release acetylcholinesterase (AChE) as part of their response to hypoxic damage. Exposure of astroglia to tert-butyl hydroperoxide, and hence oxidative stress, subsequently leads to a switching in mRNA from the classical membrane-bound T-AChE to a preferential increase in the splice variant for a soluble form, R-AChE, This change in expression is reflected in increased perinuclear and reduced cytoplasmic AChE staining of the insulted glial cells, with a concomitant and marked increase in extracellular secretion that peaks at 1 h post-treatment. An analogous increase in R-AChE, over a similar time scale, occurs in response to psychological stress [D. Kaufer et al. (1998) Nature 93, 373-377], as well as to head injury and stroke [E. Shohami et al. (1999) J. Neurotrauma 6, 365-76]. The data presented here suggest that glial cells may be key chemical intermediaries in such situations and, perhaps more generally in pathological conditions involving oxidative stress, such as neurodegeneration.

Abstract
The role of nitric oxide (NO) in liver ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury remains controversial and few works have shed more information regarding the effect of exogenous (EX) and/or endogenous NO (EN) under conditions of I/R of the liver. We investigated the role of exogenous and endogenous NO and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) inhibition in liver function, neutrophil infiltration, and animal survival after liver I/R. Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to total hepatic ischemia for 90 min using an extracorporeal porto-systemic shunt. The animals were divided into five groups, including the sham porto-systemic shunt with no ischemia, the control ischemic group, the L-arginine-treated group, the sodium nitroprusside (SNP or NaNP)-treated group, and the L-N6-(1-iminoethyl) lysine hydrochloride (L-NIL) (selective iNOS inhibitor)-treated group. The animal survival was followed for 7 days. Liver injury tests, tissue myeloperoxidase (MPO), and histology were analyzed at 6 h postreperfusion. L-Arginine- and sodium nitroprusside-treated groups demonstrated significant improvement in 7 days survival in comparison to the control (20%) (p < .05). The best overall survival was obtained with SNP (70%), followed by survival in the L-arginine treated group (60%). The iNOS inhibitor group (40%) did not show any statistical significance when compared to the control group (p > .05). Liver injury tests and histology scores in the SNP- and L-arginine-treated groups showed significant improvement when compared to the control group (p < .01 and p < .05, respectively). The iNOS group demonstrated only a slight improvement in these parameters. The liver MPO (as a measurement of neutrophil migration into the liver parenchyma) was significantly decreased only in the SNP and L-arginine groups (p < .05) but not in the iNOS group (p > .5). We conclude that NO exogenous donors and substrates for the endogenous pathway are beneficial for the liver after severe I/R and could be important therapeutic targets to prevent damage following this phenomenon.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the repeatability of quantitative computed tomographic (CT) indexes of emphysema and the effect of spirometric gating of lung volume during CT in candidates for lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Initial and same-day repeat routine inspiratory spiral chest CT studies were performed in 29 LVRS candidates (group 1, routine study vs repeat study). In a separate cohort of 29 LVRS candidates, spiral chest CT studies were performed both without and with spirometric gating by using a spirometer to trigger scanning at 90% of vital capacity (group 2, spirometric gating study). In each study, Pearson and intraclass correlation coefficients were calculated to determine the agreement between multiple pairs of whole-lung quantitative CT indexes of emphysema, and mean values were compared with two-tailed paired t tests. RESULTS Pearson and intraclass correlation coefficients were high for all quantitative CT indexes (all > or = 0.92). No significant differences were found between mean values of quantitative CT indexes in group 1. Variation in quantitative CT results was small but more prominent in group 2 than in group 1. The variation in quantitative CT results was primarily related to differences in lung volume (r(2) as great as 0.83). CONCLUSION Repeatability of quantitative CT test results in LVRS candidates is high and unlikely to improve by using spirometric gating.
