Self-harm and mental health are inter-related issues that substantially contribute to the global burden of disease. However, measurement these at population level is problematic. Statistics on suicide can be captured in national cause death data collected as part coroner's review process, however, there a significant time-lag availability such data, by definition, sources do not include non-fatal incidents. Although survey, emergency department, hospitalisation present alternative...
BACKGROUND: The development of the red blood cell (RBC) storage lesion remains incompletely understood. To gain a greater insight into mechanisms involved, proteomics analysis was used to identify proteins that accumulate in supernatants standard nonleukoreduced RBC products (S‐RBCs) and prestorage leukofiltered (LF‐RBCs) during storage. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: S‐RBCs LF‐RBCs were collected stored accordance with bank procedures. Supernatant samples at fortnightly intervals until product...
Although harmful consumption of alcohol and other drugs (both illicit pharmaceutical) significantly contribute to global burden disease, not all harms are captured within existing morbidity data sources. Indeed, occurring in the community may be missed or under-reported. This paper describes National Ambulance Surveillance System, a unique Australian system for monitoring mapping acute related drug consumption. Data sourced from paramedic electronic patient care records provided by ambulance...
Availability of ICD-10 cause death codes in the National Coroners Information System (NCIS) strengthens its value as a public health surveillance tool. This study quantified completeness external NCIS for Victorian deaths (as assigned by Australian Bureau Statistics (ABS) yearly Cause Death data). It also examined concordance between contained and re-code same conducted an independent coder. Of 7,400 included this study, 961 (13.0%) did not contain ABS code 225 (3.0%) only natural code....
Although the prevalence of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) use is relatively low globally, harms related to drug appear be increasing. Few existing studies present reliable, representative, population-level data on GHB-related harms. The aim this study was investigate trends in acute within an ambulance database Australia.Cross-sectional, retrospective analysis all attendances state Victoria, Australia during a 7-year period (January 2012-December 2018) MEASUREMENTS: Presentations were...
Helplines are often the first contact with alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment system. We examined call data from an AOD helpline in Victoria, Australia, to explore association between COVID-19 lockdown measures frequency of calls.
Alcohol harms are often determined using a proxy measure based on temporal patterns during the week when most likely to occur. This study utilised coded Australian ambulance data from Victorian arm of National Ambulance Surveillance System (NASS) investigate across for alcohol-related attendances in 2019. These were examined by season, regionality, gender, and age group. We found clear peaks: Friday 6:00 p.m. Saturday 3:59 a.m. both alcohol-involved alcohol-intoxication-related attendance,...
Pull planning is a collaborative approach that used to develop project-based production plan in compliance with principles of lean construction. process working backwards from planned milestone generate project schedule or schedules. With the use pull planning, teams are able evaluate and schedules ways allow them rely on results encourage buy-in project's success. This paper focuses verifying benefits obstacles implementing construction industry using survey professionals. The gathered...
Introduction Kidsafe Victoria, as part of the Child Accident Prevention Foundation, is leading non-government, charitable, organisation dedicated to preventing unintentional child injuries and deaths resulting disabilities. This achieved through awareness campaigns, education programs, research, advocacy environmental, legislative behaviour change. Background In summer, temperatures inside a parked car can double outside in matter minutes, with interior being much 30–40°C hotter than...
The aim of this project was to identify potential protein mediators adverse transfusion reactions in stored red cell concentrates. Previously, research into has focussed on specific proteins, such as cytokines. In study, a global approach taken which involved two‐dimensional electrophoresis based Proteomics, the uncover previously unrecognised or novel proteins. Red products with and without pre‐storage leukoreduction (each n = 6) were prepared according standard blood bank procedures....
