Resumen: El trastorno límite de la personalidad (TLP) presenta una gran heterogeneidad en sus manifestaciones clínicas: desde pacientes con rasgos acusados de TLP, hasta un cuadro completo y/o una gravedad y deterioro importantes. En el grupo de adolescentes, una menor gravedad puede indicar que el TLP está en desarrollo, por lo que intervenir tempranamente podría prevenir la instauración del cuadro completo. El programa de tratamiento psicológico para el TLP con mayor evidencia empírica es la terapia dialéctica comportamental (DBT) creada originalmente por Linehan (1993) para el TLP grave. El objetivo del presente trabajo es describir la aplicación de la DBT en un caso de una mujer joven diagnosticada de bulimia nerviosa y rasgos acusados de TLP. Los buenos resultados preliminares de este estudio indican que una adaptación de la DBT puede ser eficaz y producir mejoras significativas en este perfil de pacientes.

Dialectical behavior therapy in a case of borderline personality disorder traits and eating disorderAbstract: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is heterogeneous in its clinical manifestations: from patients with marked traits of BPD to those that meet full criteria and/or with an important severity and impairment. In adolescents, a lower grade of severity may indicate a developing BPD in which case an early intervention may arrest a further development of the disorder. The psychological treatment program for BPD with the greater amount of empirical evidence is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) (,b), originally created by Linehan (1993) to treat severe BPD. The aim of this study is to describe the application of DBT in a young woman diagnosed with bulimia nervosa and marked traits of BPD. The good preliminary results of this study indicate that DBT could be efficacious and produce significant improvement in this type of patients.

Human blood metagenomics has revealed the presence of different types of viruses in apparently healthy subjects. By far, anelloviruses constitute the viral family that is more frequently found in human blood, although amplification biases and contaminations pose a major challenge in this field. To investigate this further, we subjected pooled plasma samples from 120 healthy donors in Spain to high-speed centrifugation, RNA and DNA extraction, random amplification, and massive parallel sequencing. Our results confirm the abundance of anelloviruses in such samples, which represented >98% of the total viral sequence reads obtained. We assembled 114 different viral genomes belonging to this family, revealing remarkable diversity. Phylogenetic analysis of ORF1 suggested 28 potentially novel anellovirus species, 24 of which were validated by Sanger sequencing to discard artifacts. These findings underscore the importance of implementing more efficient purification procedures that enrich the viral fraction as an essential step in virome studies and question the suggested pathological role of anelloviruses.

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo validar en población española la Escala de Estima Corporal (BodyEsteem Scale -BES), elaborada por Franzoi y Shields (1984). La escala fue aplicada a una muestra total de 288 participantes (212 mujeres y 72 varones), con un rango de edad entre 14 y 29 años, procedentes de escuelas, institutos y facultades universitarias. En este estudio se ofrecen datos sobre la consistencia interna, estabilidad temporal (1 mes), validez convergente y análisis factorial. Además, se encuentran diferencias en la estima corporal entre varones y mujeres, en función de la edad, del índi-ce de Masa Corporal (IMC), y de las puntuaciones en el EAT-40 y la Escala de Restricción.Palabras clave: Imagen corporal, estima corporal, trastornos alimentarios, anorexia nerviosa. The Body Esteem Scale (BES): Validation in a Spanish sampleThe purpose of the present study was to valídate in Spanish population the Body Esteem Scale (BES), elaborated by Franzoi & Shields (1984). A sample of 288 students from primary, secondary and imiversity schools (212 women and 72 men), ranged in age between 14 to 29 years, was administered the BES. In this work, psychometric data are presented, as interna) consistency, test-retest reliability (1 month), convergent validity and factor analysis. Furthermore, the findings indícate differences in body esteem between men and women, between age groups, BMI (Body Mass Index) groups and between groups according to EAT-40 and Restriction Scale scores
