Article Synopsis
- The audit aimed to assess and improve the completeness and accuracy of the National Joint Registry (NJR) dataset specifically for elbow arthroplasty surgeries.
- In a two-phase approach, Phase 1 compared NJR data with NHS England Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), identifying thousands of unmatched and inaccurate records, particularly for radial head arthroplasties (RHAs).
- Phase 2 involved collaboration among 142 NHS hospitals to correct and update records, resulting in an improved completeness of the NJR dataset from 63% to 93% and accuracy from 94% to 98%.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the presence of arsenic, cadmium, and lead in processed foods meant for infants and young children, focusing on how these toxic elements co-occur in different food categories.
- It used statistical methods to evaluate correlations between the elements, finding that most food categories showed positive correlations, meaning if one element is high, others tend to be too.
- The research suggests that understanding these correlations is important for regulating food safety, as it can affect how supply levels are assessed against maximum allowable limits.
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by unstable self-image, conflictual interpersonal relationships, emotional dysregulation, and marked impulsivity. One form of impulsivity commonly seen in BPD is binge eating; however, little is known about this maladaptive behavior in the context of BPD. In the eating disorder (ED) literature, multiple theories suggest binge eating occurs as a result of heightened levels of negative affect.
