Background: The aim of the study was a systematic review of studies evaluating psychotherapeutic treatment approaches in anorexia nervosa and to compare their efficacy. Weight gain was chosen as the primary outcome criterion. We also aimed to compare treatment effects according to service level (inpatient vs. outpatient) and age group (adolescents vs. adults).Methods:The data bases PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Cinahl, and PsychInfo were used for a systematic literature search (until Feb 2017). Search terms were adapted for data base, combining versions of the search terms anorexia, treat*/therap* and controlled trial. Studies were selected using pre-defined in- and exclusion criteria. Data were extracted by two independent coders using piloted forms. Network-meta-analyses were conducted on all RCTs. For a comparison of service levels and age groups, standard mean change (SMC) statistics were used and naturalistic, non-randomized studies included.Results: Eighteen RCTs (trials on adults: 622 participants; trials on adolescents: 625 participants) were included in the network meta-analysis. SMC analyses were conducted with 38 studies (1,164 participants). While family-based approaches dominate interventions for adolescents, individual psychotherapy dominates in adults. There was no superiority of a specific approach. Weight gains were more rapid in adolescents and inpatient treatment.Conclusions: Several specialized psychotherapeutic interventions have been developed and can be recommended for AN. However, adult and adolescent patients should be distinguished, as groups differ in terms of treatment approaches considered suitable as well as treatment response. Future trials should replicate previous findings and be multi-center trials with large sample sizes to allow for subgroup analyses. Patient assessment should include variables that can be considered relevant moderators of treatment outcome. It is desirable to explore adaptive treatment strategies for subgroups of patients with AN. Identifying and addressing maintaining factors in AN remains a major challenge.

Die Webarchivierung hat sich seit Ende der 1990er Jahre zu einem neuen Handlungsfeld für Bibliotheken entwickelt. Der Beitrag erläutert kurz die Bedeutung der Sammlung und dauerhaften Zugänglichmachung von Websites durch öffentliche Gedächtnisinstitutionen und beleuchtet die wichtigsten technischen Grundlagen sowie die derzeit in Deutschland geltenden rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen. Am Beispiel des Vorgehens der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek werden die Erfahrungen und Herausforderungen der Webarchivierung praxisnah illustriert, zudem beschreibt auch die Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg Carl von Ossietzky ihre Voraussetzungen, Anforderungen und Ziele bei der Archivierung von Websites. Der abschließende Ausblick auf ein aktuell laufendes und von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft gefördertes Projekt zeigt, wie eine kooperative Nutzung von Infrastrukturen für die Webarchivierung umgesetzt werden kann. Web archiving has developed into a new field of action for libraries since the late 1990s. The article briefly explains the significance of the collection of and provision of permanent access to websites by public memory institutions and sheds light on the most relevant technological basics as well as the legal framework currently applicable in Germany. Exemplified by the approach of the Bavarian State Library, experiences and challenges of web archiving are illustrated with a practical emphasis. In addition to this the State and University Library Hamburg Carl von Ossietzky also describes their requirements, needs and goals for archiving websites. In conclusion, a perspective on a currently ongoing project funded by the German Research Foundation shows, how a cooperative use of infrastructure for Web archiving can be implemented successfully.

Introduction: This article presents diagnostic rates for specific mental disorders in a German pediatric inpatient population over a period of 20 years with respect to migration background and socioeconomic status (SES). Methods: Diagnostic data were obtained over a period of 20 years from 8,904 patients who visited a child and adolescent psychiatry mental health service in Germany. Data from 5,985 diagnosed patients (ICD-9 and ICD-10 criteria) were included with respect to gender, migration background, and SES. Results:Migration- and gender-specific effects were found for both periods of assessment. The group of boys with a migration background showed significantly higher rates of reactions to severe stress, adjustment disorders, and posttraumatic stress disorder compared to their male, non-migrant counterparts. Conversely, boys without a migration background showed a significantly higher percentage rate of hyperkinetic disorders than male migrants. Similar results were found for female migrants in the latter assessment period (ICD-10). In addition, female migrants showed lower rates of emotional disorders whose onset occurs in childhood compared to their non-migrant counterparts. Conclusions: Data from this investigation provide preliminary evidence that the prevalence of various psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents is influenced by migration background and SES.
