A 10-year review of presentation, management and outcomes of STEMI in a high-volume regional tertiary Australian centre.

Objective: To assess the trends and impact of changes in management of ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) from 2010 to 2019.

Design: Retrospective analysis of data from STEMI hospitalisations including demographic, comorbidity, angiographic and outcome data.

Setting/participants: High-volume non-surgical regional Australian tertiary referral centre.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation for Severe Chronic Aortic Regurgitation.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has revolutionised the management of aortic valve disease, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional surgical valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis (AS). TAVI for pure aortic regurgitation (AR) is less well established, and, in fact, it was previously labelled as a relative contraindication. However, TAVI has been utilised for selected cases of pure or predominant AR.

Characterization of microbes associated with cervico-vaginal adhesion in the reproductive system of camels (Camelus dromedaries).

Vaginal and cervical adhesions are severe long-standing reproductive disorder in dromedaries and consequently result in a high culling rate. This study was designed to compare the microbial communities of the vaginae, cervices, and uteri of normal (n = 10) camels versus camels suffering from cervico-vaginal adhesion (n = 23). Vaginal, cervical, and uterine swab samples were collected from control and affected animals.
