New ear health study music to the ears of Aboriginal children

Wait times for Aboriginal children suffering ear infections could be reduced to less than four weeks thanks to a new The Kids Research Institute Australia research project

Pneumococcal responses are similar in Papua New Guinean children aged 3-5 years vaccinated in infancy with pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine with or without prior pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, or without pneumococcal vaccination

We studied in a non-randomized follow-up trial the persistence of pneumococcal immunity in children, 3-5 years of age, in community controls of a similar age.

Associations between cardiovascular disease and its risk factors with hearing loss—A cross-sectional analysis

We investigate the relationship between hearing loss and cardiovascular disease risk factors.

Topical antibiotics for chronic suppurative otitis media

To assess the effects of topical antibiotics for people with chronic suppurative otitis media.

Systemic antibiotics for chronic suppurative otitis media

To assess the effects of systemic antibiotics for people with chronic suppurative otitis media.

Topical antiseptics for chronic suppurative otitis media

To assess the effects of topical antiseptics for people with chronic suppurative otitis media

Antibiotics versus topical antiseptics for chronic suppurative otitis media

To assess the effectiveness of antibiotics versus antiseptics for people with chronic suppurative otitis media.

Cord blood Streptococcus pneumoniae-specific cellular immune responses predict early pneumococcal carriage in high-risk infants in Papua New Guinea

We aimed to explore whether newborns in high-risk areas have pre-existing pneumococcal-specific cellular immune responses that effects early acquisition.

Early ear infections linked to higher risk of future problems: study

Researchers have found kids who experience repeat ear infections in infancy have a much higher risk of ongoing problems with ear infections in later childhood

Rationale and methods of a randomized controlled trial of immunogenicity, safety and impact on carriage of pneumococcal conjugate and polysaccharide vaccines in infants in Papua New Guinea

Vaccination trials in high endemicity areas are needed to provide evidence and guidance on idea strategies to protect children in these areas against infections
