Population-specific heterogeneity in ontogeny of the broadly-conserved blood transcriptional program during the first week of life

Previous research has shown that immune development during the first week of life, i.e. ontogeny, is progressive, consistent and robust, involving large numbers of differentially expressed genes at each sampled time point.

FeBRILe3: Caregiver Satisfaction With Early Discharge of Febrile Infants Under 3 Months Old

Although evidence supports clinicians to "safely do less" for febrile infants assessed as low risk of serious bacterial infection (SBI), early discharge may increase caregiver concern and reduce satisfaction with care. We captured the self-reported satisfaction and concerns for families enrolled in the study of fever, blood cultures and readiness for discharge in infants less than 3 months old (FeBRILe3), a prospective safety assessment of early discharge of low-risk febrile infants, to aid evaluation of this practice. 

“The Other One Was Half and Half, Half-Caste”: A Qualitative Exploration of Colonial Narratives Used to Represent Aboriginal Children by Non-Indigenous Foster Carers in Australia

Since colonisation in Australia, dominant western narratives have continually undermined the identity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Through a lens of subaltern theory, this article explores how Aboriginal children, their families, and their communities are spoken for and about as members of subaltern communities by non-Indigenous foster carers. 

Applying spirometry phenotypes to a longitudinal cohort born very preterm

To better characterise prematurity-associated lung disease, adult spirometry phenotype classifications (obstructive lung disease, preserved ratio impaired spirometry and dysanapsis) have been applied to children born preterm. It is unknown how these phenotypes track over time.

Implementation of Evidence-Based, Person-Centered Alternative Delivery Models for Cardiac Rehabilitation in a Rural and Remote Population: The Country Heart Attack Prevention (CHAP) Project

Access and adherence to cardiac rehabilitation (CR) remain suboptimal, particularly in rural and remote settings. This study evaluated the implementation of person-centred, evidence-based CR delivery model tailored to improve access and completion.

Glucose Metrics During School Hours in Primary School-Aged Children With Type 1 Diabetes: A Population-Based Cohort Study

School time represents a significant component of overall glycaemia for children with type 1 diabetes (T1D), and glucose levels during instructional time may be important for optimising academic progress. There is, however, limited literature regarding glycaemia during school hours. This study aimed to evaluate glucose levels during school in primary school-aged children with T1D in Western Australia (WA) and to compare these with non-school days.

The Complex and Multifaceted Nature of Social Media: Perspectives From Young Adolescents, Parents and Experts

This study explores the complex and multifaceted nature of social media use among young adolescents, drawing on the perspectives of young adolescents, parents and experts. It examines both the benefits and risks of social media and associated implications for adolescent mental health, self-development and social relationships.

Model-informed precision dosing of vancomycin in children 3 months to 18 years of age using Australia-wide data

Vancomycin is used to treat serious gram-positive infections in children; however, effective dosing information for those aged 3 months to 18 years is limited. We aimed to determine an optimized dosing strategy for this age group.

Epidemiology and determinants of cardiovascular disease in Indigenous populations

This Review describes the burden of cardiovascular disease across Indigenous populations and contextualizes the potential drivers and contributors to inequalities between Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations. The focus is on Indigenous populations across Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the USA, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, American Indian, Alaska Native, Canadian First Nations, Inuit, Métis, Māori, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander peoples.

General Movement Assessment in infancy and later cognitive outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis

To evaluate whether the General Movement Assessment in infancy is associated with later cognitive outcomes from early childhood through adulthood.
