Background: Research suggests that those caring for a loved one with an eating disorder in the UK report unmet needs and highlight areas for improvement. More research is needed to understand these experiences on a wider, national scale.
Aims: To disseminate a national survey for adults who had experience caring for a loved one with an eating disorder in the UK, informed by the findings of a smaller scale, qualitative study with parents, siblings and partners in the UK.
Studies suggest that there is a relationship between inflammatory diseases, inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and psychiatric disorders. In eating disorders, cross-sectional studies have recently examined peripheral CRP levels in blood serum and plasma, which allow a comprehensive meta-analysis. This systematic review and meta-analysis examined studies from three databases, measuring CRP levels in people with eating disorders, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

Relevant medical conditions include the eating disorders (EDs) anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), as well as body dysmorphic disorder, muscle dysmorphia, and the relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S) syndrome.
Methods: We performed a narrative literature review on eating- and weight-related disorders in the armed forces.
Article Synopsis
- Radiologic imaging is often used in children's hospitals to assist with diagnoses, but variations in how it's performed can lead to unnecessary costs and risks.
- A study analyzed inpatient pediatric conditions across 50 hospitals from 2017 to 2019, focusing on those with high imaging prevalence and costs, and found that conditions like pectus excavatum and scoliosis had the highest imaging rates.
- The findings indicated significant variations in imaging-related costs among hospitals, highlighting the need for improved guidelines to reduce overuse and improve care in pediatric imaging.
Article Synopsis
- Bulimia nervosa (BN) is a common psychiatric disorder that negatively impacts both the physical and mental health of those affected, with the role of fathers in this context being underexplored.* ! -
- A systematic review evaluated 2421 studies, narrowing them down to 29, to examine the psychosocial aspects of fathers of individuals with BN and their link to the children's outcomes.* ! -
- While no notable differences were identified in most psychological traits between fathers of BN sufferers and those in comparison groups, some father-specific factors were linked to increased risks of BN symptoms and poor treatment outcomes in their children, indicating the need for further research.* !
