AB Eating  disorders  are  characterized  by  the  persistent  disturbance  of  eating  impairing  health  or  psychosocial  functioning  and  include  food  restriction  disorders  as  well  as  binging  and  purging  disorders.  Clinical  features  of  restriction  disorders  such  as  anorexia  nervosa  include  emaciation,  bradycardia  (Fig,  27.30),  lanugo  (Fig.  27.28),  hair  loss,  and  xerosis.  Binging  and  purging  disorders  may  present  with  clinical  manifestations  associated  with  frequent  self-induced  vomiting  such  as  acid  tooth  erosion  (Fig,  27.29)  or  Russell  sign,  characterized  by  callouses  on  the  knuckles  or  back  of  the  hand  secondary  to  repetitive  self-induced  vomiting  over  long  periods  of  time  (Fig.  27.27).
