    Summary: In this book the authors share the strategies and procedures they use in their clinical daily practice to assess and treat complex cases of eating disorders. The strategic and pragmatic approach to the management of medical and psychiatric comorbidity coexisting with eating disorders, while relying on enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT-E) - an evidence-based treatment recommended for all eating disorder categories both in adults and adolescents-, can also be used by clinicians who adhere to different theoretical models. The book is divided into two main parts. Part I describes the eating disorder psychopathology and its consequences: an essential knowledge essential to understanding whether the patients have true comorbidity or spurious comorbidity. Then it gives an overview of CBT-E and how to implement it at different levels of care and in a multidisciplinary team. Part II illustrates the general strategies to address comorbidity in patients with eating disorders, and the specific strategies and procedures for managing the most common mental and general medical conditions coexisting with eating disorders. This volume is a valuable and useful tool for all clinicians - endocrinologists, nutritionists, dietitians, psychologists, psychiatrists - who deal with obesity and eating disorders.

    Modern theory and experience question the reliability and suitability of sampling per judgment being the method for the evaluation of the percentage of cells in clinical cytology till now. For the reduction of this gap empirical studies were undertaken in order to receive proper estimates of blood smears. A simple method for the differential blood count is to take 30 or more strips of the width of the field of vision of the microscope perpendicular to the smearing direction as sampling units at random or by systemtaic selection with a random starting point. For the class of cells under consideration as well as for whole the cell population on the slide, the coefficient of variation of the mean of the cells within different strips has to be less than 0,1. Smears of a width of 10 mm instead of the usual 22 mm seems to be preferable. Under such conditions more than 1.000 cells are to be counted for a reliable estimate of the more frequent classes of cells. It is not supposed that this tedious method will be carried out by technicians but modern apparatus are presumed to give consistent estimates in such a way.
