Identify risk and protective factors for later childhood-onset and adolescent-onset mental health problems, and other adverse social outcomes
The emergence of Indigenous researchers into the public health research sector presents a challenge to what have traditionally been Western-based research...
RV-A and RV-C are endemic in South African children and HIV infection may be protective against RSV and bronchiolitis.
One of the major challenges in health studies with a spatial dimension is to produce valid and meaningful geographical representations of risk.
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between a child's weight and a broad range of family and maternal factors.
We have conducted an association study in a novel sample derived from the Australian population to further investigate the role of dyslexia candidate genes.
Evidence regarding optimal management of the "Cannot Intubate, Cannot Oxygenate" (CICO) scenario in infants is scarce. When inserting a transtracheal cannula for front of neck access direct aspiration to confirm intratracheal location is standard practice.
Previous meta-analyses have found higher self-compassion is associated with lower anxiety and depression. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of self-compassion as an active ingredient in the treatment and prevention of anxiety and depression in youth. This was conducted through (i) a systematic review of the literature and (ii) qualitative consultation with young people and researchers in self-compassion.
The emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria is recognised today as one of the greatest challenges to public health. As traditional antimicrobials are becoming ineffective and research into new antibiotics is diminishing, a number of alternative treatments for MDR bacteria have been receiving greater attention. Bacteriophage therapies are being revisited and present a promising opportunity to reduce the burden of bacterial infection in this post-antibiotic era.
Cancer vaccination drives the generation of anti-tumor T cell immunity and can be enhanced by the inclusion of effective immune adjuvants such as type I interferons (IFNs). Whilst type I IFNs have been shown to promote cross-priming of T cells, the role of individual subtypes remains unclear. Here we systematically compared the capacity of distinct type I IFN subtypes to enhance T cell responses to a whole-cell vaccination strategy in a pre-clinical murine model.
