This study assessed the temporal stability of spatial patterns in the incidence of preterm and small-for-gestational-age (SGA) in regional Western Australia.
In Australia the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) is administered at 2, 4 and 6 months of age, with no booster dose.
Combined vaccines have an increasingly important role to play in delivering these antigens acceptably.
Biofilm is one of the important virulence factors that is responsible for the severity and progression of the Streptococcus pyogenes diseases. M-protein is involved in the irreversible attachment of S. pyogenes to surfaces during biofilm development. This study aims to determine the propensity of S. pyogenes to form biofilms and the molecular epidemiology of S. pyogenes isolates by emm typing.
A common chemical exposure in alumina refining is caustic mist. Although recognized as a strong airways irritant, little is known of the chronic respiratory effects of caustic mist in alumina refining. A suitable metric for caustic mist exposure assessment in alumina refining for epidemiological purposes has not been identified. Peak exposure is likely to be important, but is difficult to assess in epidemiological studies.
The Greater Accra Region is the smallest of the 16 administrative regions in Ghana. It is highly populated and characterized by tropical climatic conditions. Although efforts towards malaria control in Ghana have had positive impacts, malaria remains in the top five diseases reported at healthcare facilities within the Greater Accra Region. To further accelerate progress, analysis of regionally generated data is needed to inform control and management measures at this level. This study aimed to examine the climatic drivers of malaria transmission in the Greater Accra Region and identify inter-district variation in malaria burden.
Much of our research focuses on the safety and the use of emerging technologies for insulin pumps and other diabetes treatment technology.
Innovative new digital platform set to transform diabetes care for WA families.
Today, May 12th, is International Nurses Day. To celebrate the wonderful nurses in our diabetes team, we asked Clinical Research Nurse Manager Alex Tully a few questions to find out what she does and why she does it.
The Diabetes Research Team of the Department of Endocrinology is looking at identifying a questionnaire that we can use in clinic to measure and understand the types of physical activity, young people with type 1 diabetes, are involved in.
