Chinese immigrants living in Australia experience increased allergic conditions: asthma, eczema, hay fever and wheeze. Recently we reported diminished innate cytokine responses in long-term immigrants, potentially increasing their pathogenic viral load and microbial carriage. We hypothesise that a Western environment changes the nasal microbiome profile, and this altered profile may be associated with the development of allergic conditions. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to examine the loading of viral and microbial respiratory pathogens in the upper airway.

The textbook view of vaccination is that it functions to induce immune memory of the specific pathogen components of the vaccine, leading to a quantitatively and qualitatively better response if the host is exposed to infection with the same pathogen

Emerging preclinical findings suggest that some sun exposure is necessary for optimal metabolic health

In a non-athletic population, aquatic-high-intensity interval training was safe and may have improved aerobic performance and lower limb strength

The role of honey for the treatment of skin infections and wound healing has primarily come from personal stories of its effectiveness however these personalised studies have not been researched in the Kimberley region.
