Hand Involvement and Its Association with Burn Characteristics, Surgical Management, and Length of Stay in Paediatric Inpatients: A 10-Year Cross-Sectional Study from Western Australia

Hand burns are a key criterion for immediate referral to tertiary burn centres in Australia, New Zealand, and internationally, yet few studies have examined how paediatric burn epidemiology, surgical management, and length of stay differ according to the extent of hand involvement.

An archetypes approach to malaria intervention impact mapping: a new framework and example application

As both mechanistic and geospatial malaria modeling methods become more integrated into malaria policy decisions, there is increasing demand for strategies that combine these two methods. This paper introduces a novel archetypes-based methodology for generating high-resolution intervention impact maps based on mechanistic model simulations. An example configuration of the framework is described and explored.

Mandatory fortification with folic acid for the prevention of neural tube defects: a case study of Australia and New Zealand

To present a case study of the considerations of mandatory fortification with folic acid in Australia and New Zealand.

Human landing catches provide a useful measure of protective efficacy for the evaluation of volatile pyrethroid spatial repellents

The human landing catch (HLC) method, in which human volunteers collect mosquitoes that land on them before they can bite, is used to quantify human exposure to mosquito vectors of disease. Comparing HLCs in the presence and absence of interventions such as repellents is often used to measure protective efficacy (PE).

Establishing the lowest penicillin concentration to prevent pharyngitis due to Streptococcus pyogenes using a human challenge model (CHIPS)

The in-vivo plasma concentration of penicillin needed to prevent Streptococcus pyogenes pharyngitis, recurrent acute rheumatic fever, and progressive rheumatic heart disease is not known. We used a human challenge model to assess the minimum penicillin concentration required to prevent streptococcal pharyngitis.
