The structure and function of infant skin is not fully developed until 34 weeks of gestation, and this immaturity is associated with risk of late-onset sepsis (LOS).

Over the past decade in Australia, hip-hop projects have become culturally appropriate approaches for health promotion.
The Kids Research Institute Australia has two researchers and an innovative science engagement initiative as finalists in the 2017 Premier’s Science Awards.
The high burden of infectious disease and associated antimicrobial use likely contribute to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance in remote Australian Aboriginal communities. We aimed to develop and apply context-specific tools to audit antimicrobial use in the remote primary healthcare setting.
The burden and consequences of skin infections for remote living indigenous people are high
Documenting carer, service provider and healthcare practitioner perspectives on skin infections provides more understanding of the context of treatment decisions
Systematic review of the treatment, prevention and public health control of skin infections in resource-limited settings where skin infections are endemic
Recent data on the epidemiology of impetigo and scabies and describe the current evidence around approaches to individual and community based treatment
We conducted a comprehensive, systematic review of the global childhood population prevalence of impetigo and the broader condition pyoderma.
House dust mites (HDMs) belong to the most potent indoor allergen sources worldwide and are associated with allergic manifestations in the respiratory tract.
