Dendritic cells and multiple sclerosis: Disease, tolerance and therapy

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a devastating neurological disease that predominantly affects young adults resulting in severe personal and economic impact.

The Cost of Inaction on Rheumatic Heart Disease

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities have some of the highest rates of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) in the world. This report outlines

Stem cell ‘memory’ discovery offers hope for new disease breakthroughs

Australian researchers have developed a new method to ‘wipe the memory’ of reprogrammed human cells to better mimic embryonic stem cells, in a discovery that has significant implications for the treatment of several serious diseases.

Ear Explorers shows latest video technology helps ear disease diagnosis

Findings from The Kids Research Institute Australia’s ‘Ear Explorers’ real-life research project undertaken as part of the 2019 Telethon weekend, found short videos were more helpful than photos when making a diagnosis.

Ending deadly heart disease finally within our sights

It's been a huge year for those working to eliminate rheumatic heart disease (RHD), with breakthroughs including $35M in funding to develop a Strep A vaccine.

The endgame strategy to eliminate deadly heart disease

Five years of intensive collaboration between researchers, clinicians, Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations, and government and non-government organisations have finally put the long-fought for goal of ending RHD within reach.

Rare disease education in Europe and beyond: time to act

People living with rare diseases (PLWRD) still face huge unmet needs, in part due to the fact that care systems are not sufficiently aligned with their needs and healthcare workforce (HWF) along their care pathways lacks competencies to efficiently tackle rare disease-specific challenges. Level of rare disease knowledge and awareness among the current and future HWF is insufficient.

Secondary Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Latent Rheumatic Heart Disease

Rheumatic heart disease affects more than 40.5 million people worldwide and results in 306,000 deaths annually. Echocardiographic screening detects rheumatic heart disease at an early, latent stage. Whether secondary antibiotic prophylaxis is effective in preventing progression of latent rheumatic heart disease is unknown.

A simulation study of disaggregation regression for spatial disease mapping

Disaggregation regression has become an important tool in spatial disease mapping for making fine-scale predictions of disease risk from aggregated response data.
