Coronary heart disease is rapidly increasing in developing countries, but access to cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention remains low. In this study, we aimed assess the effectiveness of a smartphone-based programme delivered via social media platform WeChat (SMART-CR/SP).In parallel-group, single-blind, randomised controlled trial, recruited patients aged 18 years or older with coronary who had received percutaneous interventions from large tertiary hospital Shanghai, China....
Background The aim of the study was to investigate prospective associations between dietary patterns and cognitive performance during adolescence. Methods Participants were sourced from Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) Study that includes 2868 children born 1989 1992 in Perth, Australia. When 17 years old (2006–2009), assessed using a computerized battery tests (CogState) included six tasks. Using food frequency questionnaire administered when 14 (2003–2006), ‘Healthy’ ‘Western’...
Background Chronic diseases among older adults are recognised as a serious public health problem in China, causing rising social and economic burden. The aim of the study was to evaluate association between chronic lifestyle risk factors community-dwelling who attended community service centres (CHSC) Southern China. Methods A retrospective cross-sectional ( n = 361) conducted using random sample cases from primary care database registry two CHSC Guangzhou city, Guangdong province, consisted...
Background: Histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA) is implicated in the onset of preterm labor and delivery. Chorioamnionitis a known risk factor for early-onset sepsis may modulate postnatal immunity. Preterm infants are at greatly increased late-onset (LOS), particularly with coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), but impact HCA on LOS unknown. Methods: Eight hundred thirty-eight born <30 weeks gestational age single tertiary center were included. examination placenta extraplacental...
A “smart” brain biopsy needle containing a tiny imaging probe is able to warn neurosurgeons about nearby blood vessels.
Aim To describe the prevalence and risk factors of recurrent otitis media (rOM) in an urban Australian population at 3 years age. Methods Cross‐sectional examination rOM 2280 participants from Raine Study enrolled public private hospitals Perth, Western Australia, between 1989 1991. Parental report questionnaires age were used for identification, with secondary confirmation by otoscopic 1, 2 or Results The parent‐reported was 26.8% (611/2280) 5.5% (125/2280) severe Study. Independent...
Background The relationship between histological chorioamnionitis and haematological biochemical markers in mothers infants at delivery, postnatally, is incompletely characterised. These are widely used the diagnosis of maternal neonatal infection. Our objective was to investigate effects (HCA) on inflammatory post-delivery. Methods Two hundred forty seven mothers, delivering 325 infants, were recruited only tertiary perinatal centre Western Australia. Placentae assessed for evidence HCA...
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is becoming more widely used in the community however there are differences knowledge attitudes among within various health professions. Chiropractic nursing students represent a future generation of two profession groups who may have differing views on CAM. The objectives this study were to investigate knowledge, beliefs chiropractic about To factors that influence their likelihood recommending CAM; compare findings between determine similarities...
Objective People exhibiting post-stroke lateropulsion actively push their body across the midline to more affected side and/or resist weight shift toward less side. Despite its prevalence and associated negative rehabilitation outcomes, no clinical practice guidelines exist for of lateropulsion. We aimed develop consensus-based recommendations managing using an international expert panel. Design This Delphi panel process conformed with Guidance on Conducting Reporting Studies...
Abstract Background Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is challenging to stage accurately using mammography (MG) and ultrasound (US) with undiagnosed ipsilateral contralateral cancer resulting in poor patient outcomes including return surgery. Our institution employs routine staging breast MRI ILC for this reason. However, increased time further imaging/biopsies contributes anxiety potentially delays definite management. We aimed quantify the frequency of MRI‐detected additional lesions...
The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between early diet and academic performance during childhood.Participants were from Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) Study (n = 2287). Frequency consumption food beverages collected at one-, two- three-year follow-ups, using a 24-hour recall. Diet scores developed number eating occasions.

The cardiac return assist blanket (CRAB) has been designed to increase central venous pressure (CVP) manage severe hypotension associated with anaphylaxis. This interventional study aimed identify the relationship between CRAB and CVP. was also compared change in CVP a straight leg raise (SLR), Trendelenburg position, 1 L of compound sodium lactate. Sixteen healthy, fasted volunteers were exposed at 10, 20, 30, 40 cmH2O, SLR, 15 degrees position. then fed hydrated CSL over 30 minutes...
Measuring exercise intensity for safety and to inform prescription in acute burn survivors, is challenging. This study aimed assess the validity of adult patient end-of-workout rating session perceived exertion (sRPE); calculated training load (TL) (sRPE × duration) as measures intensity. Secondly, compare clinician perception effort during physiotherapist-led sessions. Repeated RPE data were collected every 5-min two resistance sessions completed by 25 burns patients. Physiological (heart...
Abstract Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) infection following intravesical BCG instillation is a rare complication of therapy that associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We conducted multicenter retrospective review microbiologically confirmed M.bovis infections in Western Australia over 22 years. Thirty-three patients were included our study. All male median age 72 Localized accounted for 22/33 cases while disseminated 11/33 cases. The majority (n = 21)...
Intensive care patients can experience significant long-term impairment in mobility and function caused by their critical illness. A potential contributory factor apart from illness polymyoneuropathy is the low levels of anabolic hormones these patients. Testosterone critically ill are extremely low, even latter recovery phase. solution to myopathy may be provide support addition standard (early physiotherapy) further improve gains strength. This project aims test whether a synthetic...
Abstract Objectives Giant cell arteritis (GCA) carries an increased risk of stroke and blindness. International guidelines recommend older people receive routine comprehensive geriatric assessment (RCGA) during unplanned hospital admissions to improve health outcomes. This quality improvement study addressed the need for RCGA in with GCA at Australian tertiary hospital. The aims this were co‐design, implement evaluate a referral process hospitalised 65 years or new diagnosis changes...
Introduction: Upper limb dysfunction is common in people with Parkinson’s. This study aimed to pilot and establish the initial psychometric properties of timed upper assessment (TULA), a 10-item functional tool. Method: A prospective observational was conducted 381 participants (202 Parkinson’s, 179 controls). The TULA administered both groups, inter-rater reliability assessed subset ( n = 47). Principal component analysis examined structural validity, while convergent validity explored...
