A cohort study comparing rate of repeat testing for sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections between clients of an internet-based testing programme and of sexually transmitted infection clinics in Vancouver, Canada.

Objectives: Internet-based sexually transmitted and blood-borne infection (STBBI) testing services reduce testing barriers through bypassing face-to-face clinical encounters, potentially enabling clients at ongoing sexual risk to test more frequently. To our knowledge, this hypothesis has not been previously tested. We compared the frequency of repeat testing between Vancouver-based clients of (GCO)-an internet-based STBBI testing service in British Columbia, Canada-and clients of three sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinics in Vancouver for 29 months after GCO launched.

Post-test comparison of HIV test knowledge and changes in sexual risk behaviour between clients accessing HIV testing online versus in-clinic.

Objective: Internet-based HIV testing offers the potential to address privacy-related barriers to testing and increase frequency of testing but may result in missed opportunities related to sexual health education and prevention that typically occur in face-to-face encounters. In this study, we assessed the HIV test knowledge and sexual risk behaviour of clients testing for HIV through , an internet-based sexually transmitted and bloodborne infection testing platform inclusive of HIV testing, in comparison to clients testing through a large sexual health clinic.

Methods: We concurrently recruited clients and clinic clients from Vancouver, Canada, over the course of a 10-month period during 2015-2016.

A case study in distributed team science in research using electronic health records.

Introduction: Due to various regulatory barriers, it is increasingly difficult to move pseudonymised routine health data across platforms and among jurisdictions. To tackle this challenge, we summarized five approaches considered to support a scientific research project focused on the risk of the new non-vitamin K Target Specific Oral Anticoagulants (TSOACs) and collaborated between the Farr institute in Wales and Scotland.

Approach: In Wales, routinely collected health records held in the Secure Anonymous Information Linkage (SAIL) Databank were used to identify the study cohort.

Click yes to consent: Acceptability of incorporating informed consent into an internet-based testing program for sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections.

Background: Autonomous use of online health care services without interaction with a health care provider challenges existing models for achieving informed consent (IC); current examinations of this issue have focused on commercial direct-to-consumer genetic testing. As IC is integral to publicly funded clinical testing services, we incorporated pre-test concepts necessary for IC in GetCheckedOnline (GCO), British Columbia's online sexually transmitted and blood-borne infection (STBBI) testing service.

Objective: We assessed the acceptability of this IC step and its design options among potential users during usability testing of GCO.

Get Checked… Where? The Development of a Comprehensive, Integrated Internet-Based Testing Program for Sexually Transmitted and Blood-Borne Infections in British Columbia, Canada.

Background: Testing for sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBI) is an effective public health strategy that can promote personal control of one's health and prevent the spread of these infections. Multiple barriers deter access to testing including fear of stigmatization, inaccurate health care provider perceptions of risk, and reduced availability of clinic services and infrastructure. Concurrent increases in sexually transmitted infection (STI) rates and demands on existing clinical services make this an even more pressing concern.

Crossing the boundaries delivering trans-disciplinary science in a disciplinary world.

Major research initiatives are increasingly drawing on multiple disparate disciplines and systems biology is a key exemplar. Trans-disciplinary research occurs where individual disciplinary traditions combine to create new shared knowledge that cannot be said to fit within the domain of any single discipline. Generation of new understanding of biological systems at the cell, organ, or organism level clearly meets these criteria, and we therefore consider systems biology research a truly trans-disciplinary undertaking.

Burden of eating disorders in 5-13-year-old children in Australia.

Objective: To collect nationally representative epidemiological data on early-onset eating disorders (EOEDs) in children.

Design: Prospective, active surveillance using the Australian Paediatric Surveillance Unit with key informant design.

Setting: Child health specialists in Australia (July 2002 to June 2005).

Benzodiazepine prescribing in elderly Australian general practice patients.

Objective: The use of benzodiazepines by elderly people is of limited therapeutic benefit and increases the risk of adverse events. This study aimed to examine the extent to which benzodiazepines are prescribed for elderly Australians.

Methods: Data for 3,970 individuals aged 65 years or more were extracted from a general practice database.

Polioviruses and other enteroviruses isolated from faecal samples of patients with acute flaccid paralysis in Australia, 1996-2004.

Background: Acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) is the most common clinical presentation of acute poliovirus infection, occurring in 0.1-1% of infected cases. AFP surveillance has been used world-wide to monitor the control and eradication of circulating wild poliovirus.

Locomotor and discriminative-stimulus effects of cocaine in dopamine D5 receptor knockout mice.

Rationale: Dopamine D1-like antagonists block several effects of cocaine, including its locomotor-stimulant and discriminative-stimulus effects. Because these compounds generally lack selectivity among the dopamine D1 and D5 receptors, the specific roles of the subtypes have not been determined.

Objectives: Dopamine D5 receptor knockout (DA D5R KO), heterozygous (HET) and wild-type (WT) mice were used to study the role of D5 dopamine receptors in the effects of cocaine.

Neurabins recruit protein phosphatase-1 and inhibitor-2 to the actin cytoskeleton.

Inhibitor-2 (I-2) bound protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) and several PP1-binding proteins from rat brain extracts, including the actin-binding proteins, neurabin I and neurabin II. Neurabins from rat brain lysates were sedimented by I-2 and its structural homologue, I-4. The central domain of both neurabins bound PP1 and I-2, and mutation of a conserved PP1-binding motif abolished neurabin binding to both proteins.
