Background: There are few data on the treatment of children and adolescents with multidrug-resistant (MDR) or rifampicin-resistant (RR) tuberculosis, especially with more recently available drugs and regimens. We aimed to describe the clinical and treatment characteristics and their associations with treatment outcomes in this susceptible population.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis.
Background: The provision of healthcare is complex. When evidence-practice gaps are identified, interventions to improve practice across multi-level systems are required. These interventions often consist of multiple interacting components and behaviours.

Protein chemists have employed the diffusion interaction parameter () determined using dynamic light scattering as an indicator of formulation stability, yet this approach has not been applied to particulate systems. Herein, measurements of LNPs revealed behavior dissimilar to that of proteins.

Secondary aims included RSV subtyping, assessing RSV seasonality and contributing to the World Health Organisation's RSV surveillance programme.
Methods: We prospectively reviewed the medical records of children (< 2 years of age) with a confirmed SARI who were admitted to one of four major Australian paediatric hospitals and had a respiratory sample analysed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).
