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

Research

A role for affectivity in rapid facial mimicry: An electromyographic study

Using a novel methodological approach, these findings provide evidence for the contention that affective processing underlies rapid facial mimicry reactions

Research

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

Maternal Smoking During Pregnancy Induces Epigenetic Changes Into Adolescence, Independent of Postnatal Smoke Exposure and Is Associated With Cardiometabolic Risk

This study demonstrates a critical timing of cigarette smoke exposure over the life course for establishing persistent changes in DNA methylation into adolescence

Research

Viral respiratory infections and the oropharyngeal bacterial microbiota in acutely wheezing children

Bacterial airway microbiome is highly variable in early life and its role in wheeze remains less clear than viral influences

Research

Using pneumococcal carriage studies to monitor vaccine impact in low- and middle-income countries

We review the role of pneumococcal carriage studies for the evaluation of PCVs in LMICs and discuss optimal methods for conducting these studies

Research

Pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV prevention during pregnancy and lactation: forget not the women and children

The framework for appropriately identifying and managing at-risk pregnant and lactating women requiring PrEP is poorly defined

Identifying pediatric lung disease: A comparison of forced oscillation technique outcomes

These findings suggest the utility of specific FOT outcomes is dependent on the respiratory disease being assessed

Research

Effect of combining pre-exercise carbohydrate intake and repeated short sprints on the blood glucose response to exercise in young individuals with Type 1 diabetes

When carbohydrates are ingested prior to moderate-intensity exercise, adding repeated sprints is not significantly detrimental to glycaemic management
