Reports and Findings

Streptococcus pneumoniae colonization of the nasopharynx is associated with increased severity during respiratory syncytial virus infection in young children.

The present study aimed to clarify the effect of viral and bacterial co-detections on disease severity during paediatric ARI.

Macrolides in children with community-acquired pneumonia: Panacea or placebo?

Pneumonia, most often caused by a respiratory virus, is common in childhood.

A phenotype centric benchmark of variant prioritisation tools

We hypothesised that the performance of variant prioriisation tools may vary by disease phenotype.

Identification of generic and pathogen-specific cord blood monocyte transcriptomes reveals a largely conserved response in preterm and term newborn infants

These data provide novel insights into the functionality of neonatal monocytes at birth

Cohort profile: Pregnancy and childhood epigenetics (PACE) consortium

Currently, DNA methylation is the most studied epigenetic phenomenon in large populations

The NICE-GUT trial protocol: A randomised, placebo controlled trial of oral nitazoxanide for the empiric treatment of acute gastroenteritis among Australian Aboriginal children

Diarrhoeal disease is the second leading cause of death in children under 5 years globally, killing 525 000 annually. Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (hereafter Aboriginal) children suffer a high burden of disease.

Clinical significance of circulating microRNAs as markers in detecting and predicting congenital heart defects in children

In this study, we aimed to investigate the usefulness of miRNAs as biomarkers in diagnosing and predicting children with congenital heart defects (CHD), particularly in the context of multiple subtypes of CHD.

Group A streptococcal pharyngitis: Immune responses involved in bacterial clearance and GAS-associated immunopathologies

Innate and adaptive host immune responses are fundamental for defense against streptococcal pharyngitis and are central to the clinical manifestation of disease.

Online interventions for the mental health needs of trans and gender diverse young people

Members of our research team have done an online survey (Trans Pathways) exploring the mental health and care pathways of gender diverse youth in Australia.

Sugar-sweetened beverage intake associations with fasting glucose and insulin concentrations are not modified by selected genetic variants in a ChREBP-FGF21 pathway: a meta-analysis

We think that variants in genes involved in fructose metabolism and ChREBP-FGF21 pathway interacts with SSB intake to exacerbate associations with SSB intake.
