This study investigated the role of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) on bone loss and local systemic inflammation in an vivo mouse model experimental periodontitis (PD).Experimental PD was induced mice by oral inoculation with Porphyromonas gingivalis Fusobacterium nucleatum over a period 44 days. The probiotic LGG administered via or gavage prior to, during disease induction. antimicrobial activity inoculum also tested. Alveolar levels gingival tissue changes were assessed using...
Pyloric stenosis is sometimes associated with hemodynamic instability and postoperative apnea. In this multicenter study we examined the response recovery profile of remifentanil compared it that halothane in infants undergoing pyloromyotomy. After atropine, propofol, succinylcholine administration tracheal intubation, patients were randomized (2:1 ratio) to receive either nitrous oxide oxygen or as maintenance anesthetic. Pre- pneumograms done evaluated by an observer blinded study....
Enterococcus faecalis is the most frequent species present in post-treatment disease and plays a significant role persistent periapical infections following root canal treatment. Its ability to persist stressful environments inter alia, due its form biofilms. The presence of certain D-amino acids (DAAs) has previously been shown reduce formation Bacillus subtilis aims this investigation were determine if DAAs disrupt biofilms early late growth stages for clinical E. strains test their...
Objective. To present the evaluation of a large-scale quantitative respirator-fit testing program. Design. Concurrent questionnaire survey fit testers and test subjects. Setting. Ambulatory care, home nursing acute care hospitals across South Australia. Methods. Quantitative facial-fit was performed with TSI PortaCount instruments for healthcare workers (HCWs) who wore 5 different models disposable P2 (N95-equivalent) respirator. The included questions about HCWs age, sex, race, occupational...
We conducted a quality improvement project aimed at increasing the frequency of mobilisation in our ICU. designed four-part comprising: an audit documenting baseline mobilisation; staff survey evaluating perceptions barriers to identification that were amenable change and implementation strategies address these; follow-up determine their effectiveness. The setting was tertiary care, urban, public hospital ICU South Australia. All patients admitted during two periods included audits, while...
Abstract Background Preoperative immunonutrition has been proposed to reduce the duration of hospital stay and infective complications following major elective surgery in patients with gastrointestinal malignancy. A multicentre 2 × factorial RCT was conducted determine impact preoperative postoperative versus standard nutrition oesophageal cancer. Methods Patients were randomized before oesophagectomy (IMPACT®) isocaloric/isonitrogenous nutrition, then further after operation nutrition....
Studies assessing dietary intake and its relationship to metabolic phenotype are emerging, but limited. The aims of the study identify patterns in Australian adults, determine whether these associated with obesity. Cross-sectional data from Bureau Statistics 2011 Health Survey was analysed. Subjects included adults aged 45 years over (n = 2415). Metabolic determined according criteria used define syndrome (0–2 abnormalities vs. 3–7 abnormalities), additionally categorized for obesity (body...
Although former preterm birth infants are at risk for postoperative apnea after surgery, it is unclear whether the same true of full-term infants. We evaluated incidence in 60 neonates and undergoing pyloromyotomy both before anesthesia. All subjects were randomized to a remifentanil- or halothane-based anesthetic. Apnea was defined by presence prolonged (>15 s) frequent brief apnea, as observed on pneumocardiogram. occurred surgery 27% 16% subjects, with no significant difference between...
Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in cystic fibrosis (CF) manifests as postprandial hyperglycaemia. Pancreatic enzyme supplementation reduces the latter; restoring incretin secretion and slowing gastric emptying. We aimed to determine acute effect of exenatide on glycaemia young people with CF IGT. Six participants IGT were studied 2 days, a double‐blind randomized crossover trial. After overnight fasting, they received 2.5 mcg or placebo (0.9% saline) subcutaneously 15 minutes before pancake...
The accurate measurement of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) wound size is essential as the rate healing a significant prognostic indicator likelihood complete healing. Mobile phone photography often used for surveillance and to aid in telemedicine consultations. However, there remains no objective integrated into these photos. NDKare mobile application has been developed address this need our study evaluates its accuracy practicality DFU assessment. was evaluated two- (2D) three-dimensional (3D)...
ObjectiveDiabetic foot disease is a serious and common complication of diabetes mellitus. The aim this study was to assess limb patient factors associated with key clinical outcomes in diabetic patients ulcers.MethodsThis prospective observational wounds admitted major tertiary teaching hospital South Australia or seen at multidisciplinary clinics between February 2017 December 2018. Patient demographic data were collected, including status severity assessed by the WIfI system grip strength....
Abstract Background and aims A higher dietary protein intake has overall health body composition benefits but also the propensity to drive inflammation in ulcerative colitis (UC). This study investigate whether recreational animal-based supplementation affects ability maintain remission adults with clinically quiescent UC. Methods Twenty-four UC (Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index (SCCAI) ≤2) on stable therapy will be randomised a 24-week double blind, parallel, placebo-controlled...
ABSTRACT Background Metformin shows potential in combating clozapine‐induced weight gain (CIWG). However, current evidence for its use remains limited. Through an audit we determined the prevalence of metformin among clozapine‐treated patients and impact on waist circumference (WC). Methods This retrospective cohort study examined electronic medical records community‐based clozapine under care metropolitan community mental health teams within Central Adelaide Local Health Network (CALHN)...
