The scientific study of sleep and its disorders is essentially just a few decades old, but during that time impressive advances have been made in the biological knowledge of sleep. There has been recognition and treatment of a wide range of sleep disorders from which many people in all sections of the population suffer. The common adverse consequences of persistent sleep disturbance (at personal, educational, social and occupational levels) for members of the public at large have become clear (Dement & Mitler, 1993), as have the special risks of such problems to which certain groups are exposed – notably people with chronic psychiatric or physical disorders or learning disabilities.

Bipolar affective disorder (BAD) is one of the actual problems in modern psychiatry. The aim of the study is to investigate dyssomnia in patients with primary episode of BAD, taking into account, the sex and clinical features of the diseases debut. We have clinically examined 65 men and 88 women diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder in the period 2015–2019. It was found that dyssomnia is present in 98.3% of all patients, in 97.7% of men and in 98.7% of women with depressive variant of the primary episode of BAD, accordingly in 30.4%, 26.7% and 37.5% of patients with manic variant and at 100,0% of patients with mixed variant. The structure of sleep disorders varies significantly depending on the variant of the primary episode: with depressive, prevail night and early awakenings (100.0%), sleep disturbance (75.6%, 70.5%, and 78.7%), unstable sleep (47.9%, 59.1% and 41.3%, p<0.05), nightmares (12.6%, 13.6% and 12.0%); at manic — unstable sleep (73.9%, 73.3% and 75.0%), sleep disturbance (17.4%, 13.3% and 25.0%) and frequent night awakenings (13.0%, 13.3% and 12.0%), in the mixed variant — falling asleep (72.7%, 66.7% and 80.0%), unstable sleep (72.7%, 83.3% and 60.0%), frequent night awakenings (54.5%, 66.7%, and 40.0%), early awakening (36.4%, 50.0%, and 20.0%) and nightmares (27.3%, 16.7% and 40.0%). Thus, the primary episode of bipolar affective disorder is accompanied by a wide range of dyssomnias, among which the leading are disorders of depth and stability of sleep. Manifestations of dyssomnia vary depending on the clinical type of the primary episode of BAD: with the depressive variant, prevail night awakenings, early awakenings and sleep disturbances, with unstable sleep, and with mixed sleep disturbance and unstable sleep. Dyssomnia prevalence is highest for mixed and lowest for manic variants. In depressive men, unstable sleep was more common, and the other disorders of sleep in men and women were not significantly different.

Purpose People with learning disabilities are at risk of poor health and premature death. Due to these inequalities, NHS trusts are required to make reasonable adjustments to their care, such as longer appointment times, with the legal duty on them being “anticipatory”. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach Secondary analysis of CQC acute hospital inspection reports asking the following research questions: Do CQC inspection reports mention people with learning disabilities? Where issues concerning people with learning disabilities are reported in CQC hospital inspection reports, what issues and reasonable adjustments are reported? Are there any relationships between comments made in the inspection reports and CQC ratings of the trusts? Findings In total, 29 of the 30 trust-wide inspection reports (97 per cent) and 58 of the 61 specific site reports (95 per cent) included at least one mention of people with learning disability/ies. Most comments about practices for people with learning disabilities were positive across all CQC inspection output types and across all CQC overall ratings, although the proportion of positive comments decreased and the proportion of negative comments increased as CQC ratings became less positive. Research limitations/implications Overall the authors found that CQC inspection reports routinely contained some information regarding how well the hospitals were working for people with learning disabilities. The depth of information in reports varied across trusts, with the potential for CQC reports to more consistently report information collected during inspections. Originality/value The report updates and extends a report published by the Public Health England Learning Disabilities Observatory in 2015.

In July 1949 the Society of Experimental Biology and the Institute of Animal Behaviour together organized a Symposium for the discussion of a wide range of problems, neurological, physiological and psychological, in which the members of both groups were interested. The Symposium was held in the Zoological Laboratory of the University of Cambridge. K. S. Lashley came to England for this meeting, and no member of the large audience who heard him describe how he had set out ‘In search of the engram’, and what its upshot had been, is likely ever to forget the tremendous impression that he made. After the public discussions one morning, I walked with him back from the Zoological Department to Corpus Christi College, where he was staying. The sun shone with unclouded brilliance, and when we reached the College Lashley, who seemed, perhaps, a little tired, sat himself down on the stone steps leading to the main gate, one long leg stretched out towards the pavement, with not a single care for the curious, and slightly shocked glances of some of the passers-by. We were talking, not about any intricacies of animal behaviour, but about sailing and the sea, which he loved. He told me something about his own boats, and journeys he had made in them; but more about longer and unconventional voyages in small tramp steamers which took a long time, wherever they were going, and called at ports little known to the big luxury vessels for which he had no use at all.
