Background Fertility treatment is associated with increased risk of major birth defects, which varies between in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), significantly reduced by embryo freezing. We therefore examined a range additional perinatal outcomes for these exposures. Methods All patients South Australia receiving assisted conception Jan 1986–Dec 2002 were linked to the state-wide collection (all births/stillbirths ≥20 weeks gestation or 400 g weight, n...
Aims/hypothesis To investigate the longitudinal relationship between gut microbiome, circulating short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and intestinal permeability in children with islet autoimmunity or type 1 diabetes controls. Methods We analyzed bacterial plasma SCFAs, small dietary intake 47 recent-onset 41 unrelated sibling controls over a median (range) of 13 (2-34) months follow-up. Results Children multiple autoantibodies (≥2 IA) had microbiome dysbiosis. Anti-inflammatory Prevotella...

Research on variables that encourage older adults to exercise is limited. This study was carried out identify the participation motives of Australians involved in regular and sport. The 815 participants (399 men, 416 women) ranged age from 55 93 years ( M = 63.6, SD 7.8) were participating their activities choice at least once per week.

Is there an excess of sleep disturbances in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) a community-based sample? Sleep are almost twice as common PCOS compared similar age without PCOS, the association slightly accounted for by body weight and, to greater extent, depressive symptoms. There is sleep-disordered breathing clinical samples after accounting their profile weight. Poor patterns increase insulin resistance and thus may exacerbate symptoms longer-term risk metabolic disease. A...
