Can a Peripheral Blood Marker for Airway Neutrophilia Be Identified in Children with Bronchiectasis
Background: Airway bacterial infection and inflammation are often present in children with bronchiectasis. Systemic inflammation has also been reported. Currently, there are no data on the association between systemic inflammatory markers with airway pathogens or neutrophilia in children with bronchiectasis. We aimed to define the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) pathogens (bacteria and viruses), and cytology in children with bronchiectasis and to ex…
Caring About Value
Caring About Value: A grounded theory of the quest for higher value care in hospitals The global pursuit of ‘value’ in hospitals continues amid rising healthcare costs. Traditionally, value in this context has focused on costs and benefits. Extending constructivist grounded theory using a therapeutic landscape lens, we explore value in hospitals not only as places of caring but also as workplaces where professional hierarchies and specialisation …
Rasch validation of the short form (8 item) PC-QoL questionnaire and applicability of use as a health state classification system for a new preference-based measure
The PC-QoL can conform to a Rasch model with minor modifications. It may be a good basis for the classification system of a child cough-specific PBM. A valuation study is required to estimate preference weights for each item and to estimate health utility in parents of children with chronic cough
Triple therapy for Helicobacter pylori eradication and the risk of hypoglycemia in patients with diabetes
The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus has risen globally, from 108 million cases in 1980 to 422 million cases in 2014. Although controlling glycemic levels in patients with diabetes is crucial, insulin and sulfonylureas can cause hypoglycemic episodes and even potentially fatal events such as comas, seizures, life-threatening arrhythmias, and myocardial infarctions. Several antibiotics have been documented to cause hypoglycemic episodes; the …
Food Security Experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Families with Young Children in An Urban Setting
Evidence on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' food security experiences and coping strategies used when food insecurity occurs is limited. Such evidence is important to inform policies that can reduce the consequences of food insecurity. This study investigated factors perceived by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families with young children to influence household food security, and coping strategies used, in an urban setting. …
Longitudinal study of quality of life among children with acute respiratory infection and cough
Examining the Effects of Ambient Temperature on Pre-Term Birth in Central Australia
Preterm birth (born before 37 completed weeks of gestation) is one of the leading causes of death among children under 5 years of age. Several recent studies have examined the association between extreme temperature and preterm births, but there have been almost no such studies in arid Australia. In this paper, we explore the potential association between exposures to extreme temperatures during the last 3 weeks of pregnancy in a Central Australi…
Immunisation timeliness in a cohort of urban Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children
Coverage and timeliness among this population is suboptimal and decreases as children age. Parent/guardian reporting of vaccination status was unreliable. Children of unemployed mothers and those with multiple siblings should be targeted to improve community immunisation timeliness due to a greater risk of vaccination delay. High quality trials, conducted in several settings to account for the diversity of Australian Indigenous communities are ur…

Dropout from Computer-based Interventions for Children and Adolescents with Chronic Health Conditions
Dropout is a frequent problem in face-to-face psychological interventions. However, little is known regarding dropout in computer-based interventions (CBIs). It is important to understand the extent to which children and adolescents drop out of CBIs, so we can ensure that more people complete the programmes to gain maximum benefit. A systematic review of current research on dropout from CBIs identified 15 studies. Dropout rate ranged from 0 per c…
The study protocol for a randomized controlled trial of a family-centred tobacco control program about environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) to reduce respiratory illness in Indigenous infants
Interventions aimed at reducing exposure of Indigenous children to ETS have the potential for significant benefits for Indigenous communities. There is currently a dearth of evidence for the effect of tobacco control interventions to reduce children's exposure to ETS among Indigenous populations. This study will provide high-quality evidence of the efficacy of a family-centred tobacco control program on ETS to reduce respiratory illness. Outcomes…
Premenstrual syndrome in employed Chinese women in Hong Kong
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) has been studied in many countries, but few studies have been reported internationally on the experience of Chinese women. Because culture and employment are important factors in the perception of health status, in this study we sought to determine the existence and features of PMS in Chinese clerical women in Hong Kong. We used a cross-sectional, retrospective approach to collect data with a translation of an establis…
