Hit me like a brick wall’
OBJECTIVE: This study explored the impact of gynaecological cancer on women's expectations for motherhood, their concerns regarding their fertility, and how they negotiated these concerns in the survivorship context. METHODS: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 42 Australian women with gynaecological cancer, aged between 27 to 53 years, who were on average five years post-diagnosis (range 1-10 years). Thematic discourse analysis, from …
Green tea consumption, primary treatment outcome and survival after a diagnosis of ovarian cancer
BACKGROUND: Drinking green tea prior to a diagnosis of ovarian cancer has been associated with improved survival; however, research on post-diagnosis consumption is limited. We investigated whether consuming green tea during primary chemotherapy was associated with improved treatment response and whether green tea drinking pre-diagnosis or post-treatment was associated with survival. METHODS: We used data from the Ovarian Cancer Prognosis and Lif…
Essential Epidemiology
Epidemiology is fundamental to public health, providing the tools required to detect and quantify health problems and identify and evaluate solutions. Essential Epidemiology is a clear, engaging and methodological introduction to the subject. Now in its fifth edition, the text has been thoroughly updated. Its trademark clear and consistent pedagogical structure makes challenging topics accessible, while the local and international examples, inclu…
The Imperative for a Triumph-Over-Tragedy Story in Women’s Accounts of Undergoing Chemotherapy for Ovarian Cancer
We aimed to examine how women construct their experiences of chemotherapy treatment for ovarian cancer. Through semistructured interviews, we explored the accounts of 18 Australian women about their experiences within a broader cultural imperative—or discourse—to “think positively.” By applying a critical realist lens to the analysis, we identified two discursive themes that shaped women’s accounts. The “feeling different and managing support” th…

Reproducibility of food and nutrient intake estimates using a semi-quantitative FFQ in Australian adults
Objective To assess the reproducibility of a 135-item self-administered semi-quantitative FFQ. Design Control subjects who had previously completed an FFQ relating to usual dietary intake in a nationwide case–control study of cancer between November 2003 and April 2004 were randomly selected, re-contacted, and invited to complete the same FFQ a second time approximately one year later (between January and April 2005). Agreement between the two FF…
Epidemiology of recreational exposure to freshwater cyanobacteria – an international prospective cohort study
A significant increase in reporting of minor self-limiting symptoms, particularly respiratory symptoms, was associated with exposure to higher levels of cyanobacteria of mixed genera. We suggest that exposure to cyanobacteria based on total cell surface area above 12 mm2/mL could result in increased incidence of symptoms. The potential for severe, life-threatening cyanobacteria-related illness is likely to be greater in recreational waters that h…
