Viewed through the micro focus of an interpretive lens, medical anthropology remains mystified because interpretivist explanations seriously downplay given context in which individual health seeking-behaviours occur. This paper draws upon both and political economy perspectives to reflect on ethno practices within Korean-Australian community Sydney. We draw research data collected between 1995 1997 for earlier study use biomedical traditional medicine by Korean-Australians A total 120...
China is one of the largest countries in world with nearly 20% world’s population. There have been significant improvements economy, education and technology over last three decades. Due to substantial investments from all levels government, public health system has improved since 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak. However, infectious diseases still remain a major population issue this may be exacerbated by rapid urbanization unprecedented impacts climate change. This...
Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the factors that influence foreign doctors’ community integration and examine how these affect their intention stay in rural community. Design: Qualitative using life‐history perspective. Setting: Rural communities throughout Victoria. Participants: Fifty‐seven overseas‐trained doctors (OTDs) working Victoria, Australia. Main outcome measures: Key influencing OTDs’ decision or leave a Results: Maintaining cultural religious values, as...
Abstract Background and Objective: The use of radioiodine (RI) for the ablation residual thyroid tissue metastatic cancer lesions after thyroidectomy has become established as standard treatment in management differentiated subsequent sialadenitis is most common complication RI therapy. purpose this study was to establish a new modality RI‐induced sialadenitis. Method: group consisted 115 patients with mean age 47.7 (range, 24–78) years. All received therapy total thyroidectomy. incidence...
Growing internet exposure of Korean media and popular culture has highlighted a phenomenon common to Korea for more than 30 years: celebrities 'acting black' public consumption, while denying accusations racism. This paper analyses the link between representations nationalism celebrity blackfacing by analysing recent blog website debates on argues direct correlation form nouveau-riche nationalism. It looks at commentary – both international produced over acts 'K-Pop' groups such as Girls'...
Pine wilt disease (PWD) caused by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is a major threat to pine forests worldwide. Induction of resistance promising and safe management option that should be investigated in relation its possible influence on the tree ecosystem, including surrounding microbial communities. In this study, two main resistance-inducing chemical elicitors, methyl salicylic acid (MeSA) acibenzolar-s-methyl (ASM), were tested for their control efficiency against PWD rhizosphere composition....
For plant diseases to become established, pathogens require not only virulence factors and susceptible hosts, but also optimal environmental conditions. The accumulation of high soil salinity can have serious impacts on agro-biological ecosystems. However, the interactions between been fully characterized. This study investigated effects salt stress representative pathogens, such as Burkholderia gladioli, glumae, Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. (Pcc), Ralstonia solanacearum, Xanthomonas...
Instrumentation failure, notably rod fracture (RF), may occur even after ideal spinal deformity correction in adult (ASD). As RF is the major reason behind a revision surgery, various risk factors of are reported literature, including pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) technique itself. However, whether hip and knee joint diseases serve as another factor for remains unexplored. To investigate effects lower-extremity on ASD patients who underwent through long-segment fixation with PSO....
Despite acclimatisation to hot weather, many individuals in Australia are adversely affected by extreme heat each summer, placing added pressure on the health sector. In terms of public health, it is therefore important identify vulnerable groups, particularly face a warming climate. International evidence points disparity heat-susceptibility certain minority although unknown if this occurs Australia. With cultural diversity increasing, aim study was explore how migrants from different...
SUMMARY This study aims to investigate the climate–malaria associations in nine cities selected from malaria high-risk areas China. Daily reports of cases Anhui, Henan, and Yunnan Provinces for 2005–2012 were obtained Chinese Center Disease Control Prevention. Generalized estimating equation models used quantify city-specific associations. Multivariate random-effects meta-regression analyses pool effects. An inverted-U-shaped curve relationship was observed between temperatures, average...
Many rural communities throughout Australia depend on international medical graduates (IMGs) for the provision of primary health care. To date, however, it is not clear how well they integrate into or long intend to stay in practice there. This study reports results in-depth interviews undertaken 2003 with 57 IMGs practising Victoria aim identifying which factors facilitate inhibit their integration and consequently affect intention practice. Based interview results, four different types...
In this study, two bacterial strains, IRP7 and IRP8, were selected to induce resistance against pine wilt disease (PWD). Foliar application with these strains nematode-inoculated seedlings significantly reduced PWD severity. The effect of nematode inoculation treatment on the rhizosphere community was investigated. results indicated that contained a lower relative abundance beneficial microbes such as Paraburkholderia, Bradyrhizobium, Rhizobacter, Lysobacter, Caballeronia. Bacterial resulted...
Pine wilt disease (PWD), caused by the pinewood nematode, is most destructive in pine forest ecosystems worldwide. Extensive research has been done on PWD, but effective management yet to be devised. Generally, plants can resist pathogen attack via a combination of constitutive and inducible defenses. Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) an defense that occurs localized infection pathogens or treatment with elicitors. To manage PWD SAR trees, we tested previously known 12 Among them, methyl...
The potential connections between minority ethnic media producers and the majority group in multicultural societies have received little academic attention. As a result, important questions regarding role of beyond their specialised audiences remained largely unanswered. In this article, we draw upon series interviews with African-Australian Melbourne interrogate relationship broader Australian public sphere. Drawing on Husband’s notion multi-ethnic sphere as an ideal-type model, analyse...
