Background Sepsis is defined as dysregulated host response to infection that leads life-threatening organ dysfunction. Biomarkers characterising the in sepsis are lacking. We aimed develop gene expression signatures predict dysfunction children with bacterial or viral infection. Methods This cohort study was done emergency departments and intensive care units of four hospitals Queensland, Australia, recruited aged 1 month 17 years who, upon admission, underwent a diagnostic test, including...
Common foot problems are independent risk factors for falls in older people. There is evidence that podiatry can prevent community-dwelling populations. The feasibility of implementing a intervention and trial the care home population unknown. To inform potential future definitive trial, we performed pilot randomised controlled to assess: (i) reduce falls, (ii) direction magnitude effect terms number residents. Informed by Medical Research Council guidance on developing evaluating complex...
Alternative media form an important part of the global mediascape. Research on this phenomenon is, however, often drawn from studies in ‘global North’. In paper we discuss alternative South’, by exploring two case cooperation between Northern and Southern partners: IFIWatchnet South America, Indymedia Centre Africa. We highlight how partners differed identity, organizational forms, accountability. find that were oriented to more ‘marginal’ identities, fluid structures, informal structures...
We present data on the proportions and seniority of female male political scientists working in UK. Comparing results with previous research from 2011, we find that progress has been made. However, incremental no qualitative changes status scientists: they continue to be outnumbered by their counterparts; are overrepresented least senior job groups underrepresented most senior; average scientist occupies a less position than counterpart. also run regression analyses explore impact broader...
Supporting increasing equality and diversity in the recruitment retention of Early Career Researchers from widest pool talent available is high on agenda universities policy makers.

People who live in care homes often fall. Foot and ankle muscle weakness, sub-optimal footwear, common foot problems such as corns hallux valgus are known potentially modifiable contributory factors to falls older people. Conducting a randomised controlled trial home setting address these issues is challenging presents number of uncertainties that need be addressed prior undertaking phase III trial. Therefore, this study used qualitative approach assess the feasibility acceptability podiatry...
Successful randomisd controlled trials (RCTs) require successful participant recruitment; poor recruitment leads to poor, under-powered studies, and may waste grant funds. Recruitment of older care home residents RCTs is challenging. This problematic for podiatry, because people within settings are high users podiatry services; therefore it essential that strategies employed maximise RCTs. We describe the experience recruiting a feasibility study intervention reduce falls in East...
