Abstract Background The importance of gut bacteria in human physiology, immune regulation, and disease pathogenesis is well established. In contrast, the composition dynamics virome are largely unknown; particularly lacking studies pregnancy. We used comprehensive capture sequencing to characterize pregnant women with without type 1 diabetes (T1D), longitudinally followed Environmental Determinants Islet Autoimmunity study. Methods total, 61 (35 T1D 26 without) from Australia were examined....

OBJECTIVE To examine trends in diabetic retinopathy (DR) and macular edema (DME) adolescents with type 1 diabetes between 1990 2019. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We analyzed 5,487 complication assessments for 2,404 (52.7% female, aged 12–20 years, duration >5 years), stratified by three decades (1990–1999, 2000–2009, 2010–2019). DR DME were graded according to the modified Airlie House classification from seven-field stereoscopic fundal photography. RESULTS Over decades, prevalence of...

Microbial exposures in utero and early life shape the infant microbiome, which can profoundly impact on health. Compared to bacterial very little is known about virome. We set out characterize longitudinal changes gut virome of healthy infants born mothers with or without type 1 diabetes using comprehensive capture sequencing.Healthy were selected from Environmental Determinants Islet Autoimmunity (ENDIA), a prospective cohort Australian children first-degree relative diabetes, followed...

Purpose: It aimed to compare the use of tele-objective structured clinical examination (teleOSCE) with in-person assessment in high-stakes so as determine impact teleOSCE on undertaken. Discussion follows regarding what skills and domains can effectively be assessed a teleOSCE.Methods: This study is retrospective observational analysis. compares results achieved by final year medical students their examination, using 2020 (n=285), those who were examined traditional format 2019 (n=280).
