The COVID-19 pandemic presents significant risks to the mental health and wellbeing of families. This study aimed examine: (1) patterns parent child (0–18 years) health, substance use, couple conflict, parenting practices, family functioning during compared pre-pandemic data; (2) associations between parent, child, outcomes both pre-existing risk factors stressors. Participants were Australian mothers (81%) fathers aged 18 years over who parents a 0–18 (N=2,365). Parents completed an online...
Leukocyte adhesion to the endothelium appears play an important role in gastric injury. This study aimed develop immunohistochemical staining techniques investigate distribution and sequence of expression both leukocyte [lymphocyte function associated antigen 1 (LFA-1)] endothelial [intracellular molecule (ICAM-1)] molecules mucosa after treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In control rats there were 803 +/- 72 LFA-1-stained cells/mm2 deep mucosa, 134 32 superficial...
In an attempt to define why the joint synovial cavity is prone develop persistent inflammation we show that hypoxia induced by pressure changes caused exercise in presence of inflammatory effusion. On resting 'reperfusion injury' may take place. The biochemistry reperfusion injury has only recently been defined and perhaps surprisingly for insult as its central ingredient involves subsequent production oxygen derived free radical species. We apply reaction sequences are believed occur during...
Mild iron deficiency induced by treatment with the chelator desferrioxamine reduced incidence and severity of joint inflammation associated adjuvant disease in rats but did not alter local primary inflammatory response or systemic sequelae. Both treated control showed increased levels alpha 1 acid glycoprotein, characteristic pathological changes liver inguinal lymph nodes, at site injection. Histology, microfocal radiography, gross assessment joints, however, a suppression reduction soft...
Background/aim Family‐centred practice involves allowing families' needs to direct therapy. Parents and therapists often come from different socio‐economic positions, yet little is known about how this impacts family‐centred practice. This study aimed explore expectations of care among parents on low incomes occupational who work with these families. Method Ten were holders a low‐income Health Care Card had child waiting list for publicly funded therapy services, nine paediatric asked...
Introduction Tobacco smoking claims 700 000 lives every year in Europe and the cost of tobacco EU is estimated between €98 €130 billion annually; direct medical care costs indirect such as workday losses each represent half this amount. Policymakers all across are need bespoke information on economic wider returns investing evidence-based control, including cessation agendas. EQUIPT designed to test transferability one evidence base—the English Return Investment (ROI) tool—to other member...
The general method described in a recent paper by Prigogine and Henin [J. Math. Phys. 1, 349 (1960), hereafter referred to as I] is applied system of interacting particles. A full use made the diagram technique due Balescu. distribution function Fourier analyzed each coefficient decomposed into two parts: one (ρ′) whose evolution results from scattering processes which obeys diagonal differential equation; second (ρ″), direct mechanical interactions build correlation coefficient. ρ″ can be...
Summary Pain experienced during mammography can deter women from attending for breast cancer screening. Review of the current literature on pain reveals three main areas interest: reports frequency pain, identification predictors and strategies responding to pain. Implications this screening programmes include need appropriate measurements that are valid populations, a further understanding organizational factors involved in may be development within programmes.
Mild nutritional iron deficiency significantly reduced the severity of adjuvant induced joint inflammation assessed by histology, microfocal radiography, and subjective scoring. Other indices inflammation, such as increased levels serum acute phase reactants, characteristic pathological changes in inguinal lymph nodes, granuloma formation at site injection, were not different from those control animals. The level used did affect inflammatory response to a range irritants was sufficient...
Families raising children in private, high-rise, housing are a new phenomenon Australian cities. This study explored their experiences and the implications of these findings for children’s health. Parents’ preschool age high-rise (3 storeys or more) one, inner city Melbourne municipality were using participatory research method Photovoice. Ten parents photographed aspects development neighbourhood perceived to have positive negative impacts on young children. Parents participated both...
Families are increasingly choosing to raise children in the growing number of private, high-rise apartment complexes developed Australian capital cities. However, most these developments have been designed for childless and there concerns as how supportive settings young children. This paper explores parents' experiences environment surrounding their dwellings an inner-city municipality Melbourne, Australia using participatory method, Photovoice. Ten parents photographed elements...

Qualitative quantitative methods were combined. Analysis 247 surveys residents in three Australian suburbs confirmed activity, interaction five groups physical characteristics: (1) street layout, (2) pedestrian environment, (3) connectivity, (4) public space provision (5) dwelling form. After allowing for the effect...
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemia-reperfusion injury. The objective this study was to investigate PMN infiltration and distribution within gastric mucosa rats subjected 30 min ischemia followed by reperfusion. Sections were stained for using an immunoperoxidase technique, injury assessed quantitative histology. In control animals, there 4 +/- 2 PMN/mm2 superficial 9 deep mucosa. This increased significantly 67 (P < 0.05) 160 53 0.01)...
Living in the suburbs is founded on mobility, as residents move to periphery of city, commute work and travel for shops, schools leisure. While there have been numerous studies raising critical questions vulnerability outer suburban loneliness, financial mortgage stress, actual experiences challenges posed by dependence life mobility rarely singled out attention. Through purposive sampling then snowballing, eight participated photo-elicited interviewing detail their lifeworlds experiences....
Due to constantly changing requirements, future proofing is increasingly seen as an urgent need in hospital building design. However, knowledge on design yet be consolidated, this study reviews the literature clarify understanding of concept contexts. A scoping review methodology was considered appropriate elucidate concepts literature. As has been developed multiple industries, interdisciplinary approach taken investigate across three contexts: (in general), built environment and buildings....
