It has been shown that patients with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) and severe asthma fungal sensitization (SAFS) can benefit from antifungal therapy. is not known whether allergy skin prick tests (SPT) or specific IgE are more sensitive in the identification of who sensitized to fungi therefore candidates for therapy.To compare SPT serum asthma.We have undertaken six (Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans, Penicillium notatum, Cladosporium herbarum, Alternaria alternata...
People living in Australian cities face increased mortality risks from exposure to extreme air pollution events due bushfires and dust storms. However, the burden of attributable exceptional PM
Background: Global environmental change is associated with significant health threats. The medical profession can address this challenge through advocacy, system adaptation and workforce preparedness. Stewardship of systems attention to their impacts contribute mitigation negative change. Medical schools have an integral role in training doctors who understand the interdependence ecosystems human health. Yet integrating perspectives into busy curricula not a simple task.Content: At 2016...
Summary The MJA – Lancet Countdown on health and climate change in Australia was established 2017 produced its first national assessment 2018 annual updates 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 2023. It examines five broad domains: hazards, exposures impacts; adaptation, planning resilience for health; mitigation actions co‐benefits; economics finance; public political engagement. In this, the seventh report of Countdown, we track progress an extensive suite indicators across these domains, accessing...
To find the nature and incidence of symptoms experienced by a large sample hospital endoscopy nurses. whether nurses in units develop asthma under current working conditions units. obtain analytically reliable data on exposure concentrations glutaraldehyde (GA) vapour units, to relate them individual hygiene work practices. characterise any exposure-response relations between airborne GA occurrence related (WRSs). Due growing concern about perceived increase WRSs among workers regularly...
SummaryBackgroundHealth systems have a dual imperative to take action on climate change. First, they must develop resilient health services in response the direct and indirect impacts of change health. Second, reduce their own carbon footprint since are significant contributor global greenhouse gas emissions.MethodsAn environmentally-extended multi-region input–output analysis was carried out, incorporating National Accounts data for Australia annual expenditure from WA Health financial year...
Abstract
Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) collection is an innovative method of non-invasively sampling the lung, and can detect a variety volatile non-volatile biomarkers, but disadvantage small volume sample collected. It was hypothesized that system at lower temperature would increase collected, may alter relative concentration biomarkers interest. EBC collected in cross-over study using custom-made system, cooled either wet (4 °C) or dry ice (-20 randomized order normal non-smoking volunteers. The...
To examine the sequence of environmental and entomological events prior to a substantial increase in Ross River virus (RRV) Barmah Forest (BFV) notifications with view informing future public health response.Rainfall, tidal, mosquito human arboviral notification data were analysed determine temporality events.Following two extremely dry years, there was abundance mosquitoes along coastal New South Wales (NSW) weeks after significant rainfall event high tides February 2020. Subsequently, RRV...
Abstract: A short study is conducted to assess the reliability and comprehensiveness of Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer's (ChatGPT's) knowledge as a valuable informational resource for patients undergoing blood transfusion. 20-question survey covering general transfusion-related questions was created on Google document. By using both NHS Blood Transplant (NHSBT) organization guidelines our clinical encounters, we aimed create that addresses concerns comprehensively reflects dynamic...
Public health faces the paradox of being increasingly emphasized by key and social care regulators stakeholders, while remaining a largely under-represented discipline in context medical curricula. Enhancing student engagement public teaching is one way to address this concern.We discuss four solutions challenges faced educators schools, present five case studies which demonstrate innovative approaches engaging students our discipline.Four different have been piloted members Health Educators...
The NSW (New South Wales) Climate Change Policy Framework, launched by the Government in 2016, recognises that climate change presents risks to health and wellbeing. Risks wellbeing come from direct impacts of extreme weather events, indirect through effects on air, water, food ecosystems. Responding these challenges offers an opportunity protect promote enhancing environmental amenities, building adaptive capacity resilience populations systems. To develop policy effectively protects...
<h3>Background</h3> Patients that have chronic respiratory disease (CRD) and breathing pattern disorders (BPD) a higher prevalence of anxiety depression than the general population. These patients worse health outcomes in addition, their psychological problems are often left undiagnosed untreated. Little is known about how varies between CRD BPD. <h3>Methods</h3> This prospective study involved screening attending secondary tertiary clinics over an eight-week period. were asked to complete...
<h3>Introduction</h3> The Airways Service at Royal Preston Hospital receives tertiary referrals from across the UK. When a diagnosis of vocal cord dysfunction (VCD) or chronic cough is made and speech language therapy (SLT) required, patients undergo weekly (minimum four sessions), which some may struggle to attend due pre-existing commitments and/or travel time. As SLT typically does not require 'hands-on' we felt that Skype™ videoconferencing be useful mode treatment delivery. We present...
<h3>Introduction</h3> Vocal cord dysfunction (VCD) typically involves abnormal vocal movement during inspiration. The recognised gold standard for diagnosis is fibreoptic laryngoscopy (FOL) a symptomatic attack. Despite this there are no reported VCD FOL assessment scales to facilitate agreement in presentation, disease severity and treatment monitoring. Our tertiary airways clinic receives over 300 referrals year. We run weekly diagnostic list identified the need classification optimal...
Sports psychology acknowledges the influence of psychological factors on athletic performance, complementing other disciplines such as kinesiology and physiology. While physical conditioning biomechanics are essential for enhancing athletes' movements aspect plays a crucial role in unlocking their full potential. The success athletes sports is no longer solely dependent physiological fitness.
