Using a moderate-sized cohort selected with extreme BMD (n = 344; absolute value BMD, 1.5-4.0), significant association of several members the Wnt signaling pathway bone densitometry measures was shown. This confirms that truncate selection is powerful design for quantitative trait studies phenotypes.Although high heritability variation has long been established, few genes have conclusively shown to affect in general population. Extreme proposed as more alternative unselected designs...
Background Telemonitoring enables care providers to remotely support outpatients in self-managing chronic heart failure (CHF), but the objective assessment of patient compliance with self-management recommendations has seldom been studied. Objective This study aimed evaluate an innovative telemonitoring enhanced program for CHF (ITEC-CHF). Methods We conducted a multicenter randomized controlled trial 6-month follow-up. The ITEC-CHF comprised provision Bluetooth-enabled scales linked call...
Refugees are potentially at an increased risk for health problems due to their past and current migration experiences. How factors shape refugee is not well understood. We examined the association between self-rated general of adult humanitarian refugees living in Australia. analyzed first three waves data from 'Building A New Life In Australia' longitudinal survey 2399 resettled The study outcome was measured by 36-Item Short Form Health Survey. Predictors were process resettlement factors....
BackgroundAustralian Aborigines in remote areas have very high rates of kidney disease, which is marked by albuminuria. We describe a 'multihit' model albuminuria young adults one Aboriginal community.
Background/Aims End-of-life care is a targeted area of healthcare service reform. Complaints are increasingly recognised as valuable source evidence for evaluating practice and informing improvement work. This project aimed to develop tool support the standardised coding, categorisation organisational use formal complaint data concerning end-of-life adults. Methods A evaluation was conducted using existing data. Deductive analysis with 59 letters submitted an NHS trust in Midlands, UK....

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a life-threatening chronic disease characterised by periodic exacerbations and recurrent hospitalisations. In the management of CHF, patient compliance with evidence-based clinical guidelines essential, but remains difficult practically. The objective this study to examine whether an Innovative Telemonitoring Enhanced Care Programme for CHF (ITEC-CHF) improves patients' compliance, associated health economic outcomes.An open multicentre randomised controlled...
Resettled refugees are an important and growing population in Australia with special health needs. Many at increased risk for problems due to their past current migration experiences, but how shapes refugee is not well understood. Such information help settlement nations' design services that best meet the needs of refugees. Drawing on a qualitative phenomenological perspective, semi-structured interviews were conducted 19 adult living examine relationship between experiences. Data analysed...
Oxytocin is a major neuropeptide that modulates the brain functions involved in social behaviour and interaction. Despite of importance oxytocin for neural control behaviour, little known about molecular mechanism(s) by which secretion regulated. Pro-oxytocin synthesised cell bodies hypothalamic neurones supraoptic paraventricular nuclei processed to 9-amino-acid mature form during post-Golgi transport sites at axon terminals somatodendritic regions. secreted from regions diffuses throughout...
Refugees are one of the most vulnerable groups in our society. They at risk poor physical and mental health outcomes, much this attributed to traumatic events prior migration additional factors refugees face host nations. However, how shape resettling is not well understood. This study uses a mixed methods approach examine pre- post-migration self-rated adult an effort address current knowledge gap.
Background Telemonitoring enables care providers to remotely support outpatients in self-managing chronic heart failure (CHF), but little is known about the usability and patients’ willingness engage with this technology. Objective This study aims evaluate feedback from patients CHF following participation Innovative Enhanced Care program for (ITEC-CHF) study. Methods The telemonitoring intervention consisted of three components: remote weight monitoring, structured telephone support,...
The benefits of involving patients and wider members the public as partners in care are being increasingly recognised internationally. Co-design is one methods reported to promote patient-based health service improvements offers a participatory approach engage citizens solving challenges. However, current limitations levelled at this corpus work, indicating lack sustainability substantive evidence any known associated processes that can yield sustainable longer-term patient benefit. This...
A group of 39 captive common squirrel monkeys ( Saimiri sciureus ) had their body temperature measurements compared by rectal thermometry and facial infrared thermal imaging (Flir i3, Flir Systems Inc). Squirrel were caught up manually restrained for examination determination as part routine health checks. The mean difference between maximum thermography temperatures was 3.4⁰C (95% confidence interval [CI] 3.1-3.7⁰C). repeatability coefficient 3.18⁰C at a 95% CI. Pearson correlation to -0.10...
