Background: Diabetes and eating disorders are frequently comorbid. This particular comorbidity is not only often poorly recognised, but is difficult to treat and has a high mortality. Method: In this article, we will briefly review the relationship between diabetes and eating disorders. We will review the current NICE and other guidance and reports concerning both diabetes and eating disorders in the United Kingdom. We will then describe the recommendations of the 2018 Welsh Government Eating Disorder Service Review and the 2021 the Scottish Government Eating Disorder Service Review regarding diabetes and eating disorders, which will lead to service change. Conclusions: We conclude that this is a relatively underdeveloped but important area where there needs to be further service development and more collaboration between diabetes and eating disorder services.

Learning analytics has vast potential as a tool to further unlock the effectiveness of education in a digital age. The amount of data that can be gathered from varying access points can provide new insight and knowledge into how learners are interacting with course materials, learning systems and even fellow classmates. Research and experimentation is uncovering forms of best practice and possible factors on which to centre the analysis of students in an effective way, however learning analytics has yet to be comprehensively implemented country-wide in the United Kingdom.

Background and ObjectiveThis article compares the policy, care systems, and legislation surrounding acquired brain injury (ABI) in the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (US). Consistent with their shared histories, many similarities in terms of culture, language, and politics, and their history of cooperative relations in military and diplomatic efforts, the US and UK have taken similar approaches toward meeting the needs of persons with ABI and their family caregivers. However, important distinctions exist.Method and FindingsThrough a comprehensive narrative review, the article describes both common as well as distinct aspects of the system of ABI services from acute care through to long-term community rehabilitation.ConclusionsThe article concludes by discussing areas of potential collaboration in research, services, policy, and training to advance best practice approaches in both nations.

Significance Idai-related flooding and destruction has damaged crucial regional infrastructure and put more than 350,000 lives at risk. The catastrophe comes amid attempts by the ruling FRELIMO party to stifle rising internal dissent, contain the fallout from a debt scandal and ensure gas investments proceed in the restive northern Cabo Delgado province. Impacts Rising costs for agricultural and mining investments in central and northern Mozambique will dampen broader growth and investment. The rehabilitation of key infrastructure in opposition-dominated central regions will become increasingly politicised. The fallout from Idai will affect preparations for the October general election, raising fears of a potential poll delay. The disaster response may delay the government's debt-related legal proceedings in the United Kingdom against Credit Suisse and Privinvest.
