Article Synopsis
- An injury prevention program called Prep-to-Play was developed for women's Australian Football to reduce ACL injuries and concussions, involving input from players, coaches, and the Australian Football League.
- The study will involve over 140 teams in a cluster randomised controlled trial, where teams will start in a control group and gradually transition to the Prep-to-Play intervention with support from physiotherapists.
- The main goal is to measure how well teams use the program and to track any changes in injury rates during the 2021 and 2022 seasons.
Cochlear implantation leads to many structural changes within the cochlea which can impair residual hearing. In patients with preserved low-frequency hearing, a delayed hearing loss can occur weeks-to-years post-implantation. We explore whether stiffening of the basilar membrane (BM) may be a contributory factor in an animal model.

Tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) is effective at reducing thrombus volume when administered both within and external to the systemic circulation.
Aims/objectives: To determine if tPA delivered into the scala tympani immediately following implantation will reduce thrombus volume within the lower basal turn of the cochlea.
Odontogenic orbital cellulitis, although uncommon, has the potential to cause severe vision loss if unsuspected and untreated. Compared to non-odontogenic bacteriology, odontogenic orbital abscesses typically feature a heavy mixed growth with anaerobic organisms. We review the literature and discuss the case of a 26-year-old male who presented with anaerobic orbital cellulitis for treatment.
