Making Big Business Everybody's Business: Aboriginal leaders' perspectives on commercial activities influencing aboriginal health in Victoria, Australia.

Background: The commercial determinants of health is a rapidly expanding field of research; however Indigenous perspectives remain notably underrepresented. For Indigenous peoples the intersection of globalisation, colonialism and capitalism may amplify commercially-driven health inequities. This study aimed to explore the perspectives of Aboriginal leaders regarding the influence of commercial activities on Aboriginal health and wellbeing in Victoria, Australia.

Media coverage of commercial industry activities impacting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, 2018-2022.

This study aimed to examine the extent and nature of Australian news media coverage of commercial industry activities that explicitly speak to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander contexts. We undertook content and framing analysis of Australian newspaper and online media articles published between January 2018 and March 2022 that included terms related to 'Indigenous', 'commercial' and 'health'. Analysis focused on the nature of coverage, framing of responsibility, patterns over time and stakeholder representation.

Citizen science approaches to crowdsourcing food environment data: A scoping review of the literature.

Globally, the adoption and implementation of policies to improve the healthiness of food environments and prevent population weight gain have been inadequate. This is partly because of the complexity associated with monitoring dynamic food environments. Crowdsourcing is a citizen science approach that can increase the extent and nature of food environment data collection by engaging citizens as sensors or volunteered computing experts.

'A recipe for cultural disaster!'- a case study of Woolworths Group's proposal to build an alcohol megastore in Darwin, Northern Territory.

Background: The health and wellbeing impacts of commercial activity on Indigenous populations is an emerging field of research. The alcohol industry is a key driver of health and social harms within Australia. In 2016 Woolworths, the largest food and beverage retailer in Australia, proposed to build a Dan Murphy's alcohol megastore in Darwin, near three 'dry' Aboriginal communities.

The commercial determinants of Indigenous health and well-being: a systematic scoping review.

Introduction: Health inequity within Indigenous populations is widespread and underpinned by colonialism, dispossession and oppression. Social and cultural determinants of Indigenous health and well-being are well described. Despite emerging literature on the commercial determinants of health, the health and well-being impacts of commercial activities for Indigenous populations is not well understood.

Bartholin's gland hyperplasia. Case report and a review of literature.

Background: Tumors arising from glands of the female ano-genital area, such as minor and major vestibular glands, are very rare. Lesions affecting Bartholin's gland can be divided into two groups: benign and malignant lesions. In the first group we can include nodular hyperplasia, adenoma, adenomioma which can sometimes cause Bartholin's gland enlargement and difficult differential diagnosis.

Single-photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT) with technetium-99m sestamibi in the diagnosis of small breast cancer and axillary lymph node involvement.

Background: In a prospective study we evaluated the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of single-photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT) technetium-99m (99Tcm) sestamibi scintimammography to differentiate between benign and malignant small solid lesions of the breast, and to diagnose axillary node involvement in patients with small breast tumors.

Methods: We prospectively evaluated 172 women with a solid lesion of the breast less than 3 cm in diameter and no evidence of axillary lymph node involvement on physical examination, ultrasound, and mammography. Thereafter, all patients underwent excision of the lesion, and, if pathology was positive for cancer, quadrantectomy and axillary lymph node dissection independently by the results of scintimammography.

Assessment of surgical treatment in elderly patients with breast cancer.

Aims And Background: The incidence of breast cancer increases with advancing age and in clinical practice approximately 50% of new cases occur in women over the age of 65 years. Although breast cancer in elderly patients presents more favorable biological characteristics than similar-stage cancer in younger women, disease control still remains uncertain and is becoming a major health problem.

Patients And Methods: Between 1984 and 2006, 133 patients aged over 65 with operable breast cancer underwent surgical treatment.
