        Measuring social and emotional wellbeing in aboriginal youth using strong souls: A rasch measurement approach

        Currently, there are few robustly evaluated social and emotional wellbeing (SEWB) measures available for use with Aboriginal youth in research, policy, and practice. ...

        Developing an Online Tool to Promote Safe Sun Behaviors With Young Teenagers as Co-researchers

        Despite education about the risks of excessive sun exposure, teenagers in Australia are sun-seeking, with sunburn common in summer. Conversely, some regular (time-limited) exposure to sunlight (that avoids sunburn) is necessary for vitamin D and healthy bones and other molecules important for immune and metabolic health. New interventions are thus required to better support teenagers to make healthy and balanced decisions about their sun behaviors. ...

        Characterising nitric oxide-mediated metabolic benefits of low-dose ultraviolet radiation in the mouse: a focus on brown adipose tissue

        Non-burning (low-dose) UVR suppresses the BAT 'whitening', steatotic and pro-diabetic effects of consuming a high-fat diet through skin release of nitric oxide ...

        Toward homeostasis: Regulatory dendritic cells from the bone marrow of mice with inflammation

        Inflammatory mediators from peripheral tissues may control dendritic cell (DC) development in the bone marrow. ...

        Comparing the effects of sun exposure and vitamin D supplementation on vitamin D insufficiency, and immune and cardio-metabolic function

        Adults living in the sunny Australian climate are at high risk of skin cancer, but vitamin D deficiency (defined here as a serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D... ...

        Prostaglandin E2 imprints a long-lasting effect on dendritic cell progenitors in the bone marrow

        Injection of BM-differentiated DCs from nonchimeric mice restored the reduced immune responses of PGE2-chimeric mice. ...

        Acute Erythemal Ultraviolet Radiation Causes Systemic Immunosuppression in the Absence

        Vitamin D is synthesised by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of skin and is hypothesized to be a direct mediator. ...

        Associations of serum short-chain fatty acids with circulating immune cells and serum biomarkers in patients with multiple sclerosis

        Altered composition of gut bacteria and changes to the production of their bioactive metabolites, the short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), have been implicated in the development of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the immunomodulatory actions of SCFAs and intermediaries in their ability to influence MS pathogenesis are uncertain. In this study, levels of serum SCFAs were correlated with immune cell abundance and phenotype as well as with other relevant serum factors in blood samples taken at first presentation of Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS; an early form of MS) or MS and compared to healthy controls. There was a small but significant reduction in propionate levels in the serum of patients with CIS or MS compared with healthy controls. ...

        The challenges of developing and optimising an assay to measure 25-hydroxyvitamin D in saliva

        We have developed an LC-MS/MS assay that accurately measures saliva 25(OH)D3 levels, which correlated with serum levels ...

        Ultraviolet radiation suppresses obesity and symptoms of metabolic syndrome independently of vitamin D

        UVR or sunlight exposure may be an effective means of suppressing the development of obesity and MetS, through mechanisms that are independent of vitamin D ...

        A psychometric evaluation of the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale for Australian Aboriginal youth

        There is a paucity of quantitative measures of resilience specifically validated for young Aboriginal people in Australia. We undertook the first investigation of validity and reliability of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale in a sample of Australian Aboriginal people, with a focus on youth. We conducted a cross-sectional study of resilience among a sample of 122 Aboriginal youth (15–25 years old) in New South Wales and Western Australia, featuring self-completes of the 10-item CD-RISC in online (N = 22) and face-to-face (N = 100) settings. ...
