        Meta-taxonomic analysis of prokaryotic and eukaryotic gut flora in stool samples from visceral leishmaniasis cases and endemic controls in Bihar State India

        We evaluate a meta-taxonomic approach to determine the composition of prokaryotic and eukaryotic gut microflora using sequencing of 16S RNA and 18S rRNA ...

        Effectiveness of rotavirus vaccines in an Australian population: A case-control study

        RV1 and RV5 were both effective in preventing laboratory confirmed and notified rotavirus infections among children aged <5 years ...

        In Epigenomic Studies, Including Cell-Type Adjustments in Regression Models Can Introduce Multicollinearity, Resulting in Apparent Reversal of Direction of Association

        Where cell types are highly correlated with other covariates in regression models, the statistical assumption of no multicollinearity may be violated ...

        Association between pregnant women's experience of stress and partners’ fly-in-fly-out work

        There is some evidence that the pregnant partners of fly-in-fly-out workers perceive their lives to be more stressful ...

        Glutathione S-Transferase Genotype Protects against in Utero Tobacco-linked Lung Function Deficits

        Certain glutathione S-transferase genotypes may have protective effects against the long-term deficits in lung function associated with in utero tobacco exposure ...

        Surfactant protein disorders in childhood interstitial lung disease

        Surfactant, which was first identified in the 1920s, is pivotal to lower the surface tension in alveoli of the lungs and helps to lower the work of breathing and prevents atelectasis. Surfactant proteins, such as surfactant protein B and surfactant protein C, contribute to function and stability of surfactant film. ...

        One vaccine for life: Lessons from immune ontogeny

        There remains a general misconception that the immune status of the fetus and neonate is immature or insufficient. However, emerging research in immune ontogeny prompts reconsideration of this orthodoxy, reframing this period instead as one of unique opportunity. Vaccine responses (qualitative and quantitative) vary between individuals, and across demographic cohorts. Elements of baseline immune status and function predict vaccine response - some of these factors are well described, others remain a subject of ongoing research, especially with the rapidly expanding field of 'omics' research, enabled by development of highly granular immune profiling techniques and increasing computational capacity. ...

        Retinal differential light sensitivity variation across the macula in healthy subjects: Importance of cone separation and loci eccentricity

        Microperimetry measures differential light sensitivity (DLS) at specific retinal locations. The aim of this study is to examine the variation in DLS across the macula and the contribution to this variation of cone distribution metrics and retinal eccentricity. ...

        Enhanced Neutralizing Antibody Responses to Rhinovirus C and Age-Dependent Patterns of Infection

        Rhinovirus (RV) C can cause asymptomatic infection and respiratory illnesses ranging from the common cold to severe wheezing. The aim was to identify how age and other individual-level factors are associated with susceptibility to RV-C illnesses. Longitudinal data from the COAST (Childhood Origins of Asthma) birth cohort study were analyzed to determine relationships between age and RV-C infections. Neutralizing antibodies specific for RV-A and RV-C (three types each) were determined using a novel PCR-based assay. ...

        Incidence of NUT carcinoma in Western Australia from 1989 to 2014: a review of pediatric and adolescent cases from Perth Children’s Hospital

        NUT carcinoma (NC), previously known as NUT midline carcinoma, is a rare and very aggressive cancer that occurs in both children and adults. NC is largely chemoresistant, with an overall survival of less than 7 months. Because the carcinoma is not restricted to a particular organ, diagnosis is often a challenge. In the absence of a clearly determined incidence for NC, we sought to study the diagnosis of patients in a well-defined population. ...

        Sexual orientation and prevalence of mental health difficulties among emergency services employees

        LGBQ+ people (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Queer) are at-risk of discrimination and developing mental health issues within general populations. Limited research has assessed their mental health in emergency services occupations, a population which are known to experience poorer mental health. The current study explores the extent to which sexual orientation is associated with higher rates of mental health issues among emergency personnel. ...
