One of the 50 most influential scientists in the world today, Professor Leroy Hood, delivered The Kids Research Institute Australia Community Lecture on Tue December 1st.
Like all of us, Dr Shelley Gorman grew up with the 'slip, slop, slap' message. And for good reason, Australia is one of the sunniest countries in the world.
Sarah Le Roi knows well how debilitating Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) can be. She was struck down with the 'superbug' while on holiday in the US.
Maternal pre-pregnancy obesity has been linked with an increased risk for negative emotionality and inattentiveness in offspring in early childhood.
Providing remote communities with access to chlorinated swimming pools has been considered as a possible strategy for reducing ear and skin infection rates...
The purpose of this study was to describe qualitatively the experience of parenting for mothers of a child with Down syndrome and to explore spirituality.
To assess the effectiveness of alcohol documentation and to measure the practice of health practitioners in relation to asking about alcohol and pregnancy.
The Zero Childhood Cancer Program is a precision medicine program to benefit children with poor-outcome, rare, relapsed or refractory cancer. Using tumor and germline whole genome sequencing (WGS) and RNA sequencing (RNAseq) across 252 tumors from high-risk pediatric patients with cancer, we identified 968 reportable molecular aberrations.
PTEN mutation occurs in a variety of aggressive cancers and is associated with poor patient outcomes. Recent studies have linked mutational loss of PTEN to reduced RAD51 expression and function, a key factor involved in the homologous recombination (HR) pathway. However, these studies remain controversial, as they fail to establish a definitive causal link to RAD51 expression that is PTEN-dependent, while other studies have not been able to recapitulate the relationship between the PTEN expression and the RAD51/HR function.
Alcohol-related harm in emergency departments: linking to subsequent hospitalizations to quantify under-reporting of presentations.To quantify the proportion of emergency department (ED) presentations that could be identified as alcohol-related when linking to a patient's subsequent hospitalization, compared with using ED data alone, and to assess that comparison according to the change in alcohol harm rates over time and potential variations within subpopulations.
