        Population-based assessment of cardiovascular complications of rheumatic heart disease in Fiji: a record-linkage analysis

        To determine population-based rates of non-fatal complications of rheumatic heart disease (RHD). ...

        “It's a big trauma for the family”: A qualitative insight into the psychological trauma of paediatric burns from the perspective of mothers

        Despite the medical and surgical improvements of paediatric burn injuries, burn injuries can be a painful and traumatic experience for the child and their family. It is therefore important to explore the experiences of caregivers who support their child throughout the burn journey. Thus, the purpose of this study was to explore the traumatic nature of paediatric burns on the family from a caregiver's perspective. ...

        Randomized Trial of BCG Vaccine to Protect against Covid-19 in Health Care Workers

        The bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine has immunomodulatory "off-target" effects that have been hypothesized to protect against coronavirus disease 2019.  ...

        BCG-Induced Immune Training: Interplay between Trained Immunity and Emergency Granulopoiesis

        Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is the most commonly administered vaccine in human history. The medical application of BCG extends far beyond the fight against tuberculosis. Despite its stellar medical record over 100 years, insight into how BCG provides this vast range of benefits is largely limited, both for its pathogen-specific (tuberculosis) as well as pathogen-agnostic (other infections, autoimmunity, allergies, and cancer) effects. ...

        Psychological Flow Training: Feasibility and Preliminary Efficacy of an Educational Intervention on Flow

        Despite there being an increasing number of applied flow studies across scientific disciplines, there exists no consistent or broadly applicable intervention to promote flow experiences. This study provides a detailed account of a new educational flow training program developed following recent advancements in the flow literature that have provided a more parsimonious understanding of flow experiences and antecedents. ...

        Molecular basis of translation termination at noncanonical stop codons in human mitochondria

        The genetic code that specifies the identity of amino acids incorporated into proteins during protein synthesis is almost universally conserved. Mitochondrial genomes feature deviations from the standard genetic code, including the reassignment of two arginine codons to stop codons. ...

        Trends in prenatal diagnosis of congenital anomalies in Western Australia between 1980 and 2020: A population-based study

        Advances in screening and diagnostics have changed the way in which we identify and diagnose congenital anomalies. ...

        A novel precision-serology assay for SARS-CoV-2 infection based on linear B-cell epitopes of Spike protein

        The COVID-19 pandemic illustrates the need for serology diagnostics with improved accuracy. While conventional serology based on recognition of entire proteins or subunits thereof has made significant contribution to the antibody assessment space, it often suffers from sub-optimal specificity. Epitope-based, high-precision, serology assays hold potential to capture the high specificity and diversity of the immune system, hence circumventing the cross-reactivity with closely related microbial antigens.  ...

        Australian and New Zealand consensus guideline for paediatric newly diagnosed immune thrombocytopaenia endorsed by Australian New Zealand Children's Haematology and Oncology Group

        In children, the majority of cases are self-limiting and thus many paediatric patients can be managed conservatively with minimal complications. This varies considerably compared to adult newly diagnosed immune thrombocytopaenia (NDITP) where, in most cases, thrombocytopaenia persists with higher risk of moderate to severe bleeding complications. ...

        Forecasting COVID-19 activity in Australia to support pandemic response: May to October 2020

        As of January 2021, Australia had effectively controlled local transmission of COVID-19 despite a steady influx of imported cases and several local, but contained, outbreaks in 2020. Throughout 2020, state and territory public health responses were informed by weekly situational reports that included an ensemble forecast of daily COVID-19 cases for each jurisdiction. ...

        A systematic review of the biological, social, and environmental determinants of intellectual disability in children and adolescents

        This systematic review aimed to identify the most important social, environmental, biological, and/or genetic risk factors for intellectual disability. ...

        ErbB4 in the brain: Focus on high grade glioma

        The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) consists of EGFR, ErbB2, ErbB3, and ErbB4. These receptors play key roles in cell proliferation, angiogenesis, cell migration, and in some cases, tumor promotion. ...
