The impact of ageing-in-place reforms on the provision of home care packages for older Australians, 2008-21: a repeated cross-sectional study.

Objectives: To assess changes following the 2013-21 Home Care Package (HCP) reforms in the rate of HCPs provided to Australians aged 65 years or older, the characteristics of people who have received HCPs, and the capacity of the program to meet demand for its services during 2018-21.

Study Design: Repeated cross-sectional population-based study; analysis of Australian Institute of Health and Welfare GEN Aged Care and Australian Department of Health Home Care Packages program data.

Setting, Participants: HCPs provided to non-Indigenous Australians aged 65 years or older, 2008-09 to 2020-21.

Evidence for a Widespread Third System for Bacterial Polysaccharide Export across the Outer Membrane Comprising a Composite OPX/β-Barrel Translocon.

In Gram-negative bacteria, secreted polysaccharides have multiple critical functions. In Wzx/Wzy- and ABC transporter-dependent pathways, an outer membrane (OM) polysaccharide export (OPX) type translocon exports the polysaccharide across the OM. The paradigm OPX protein Wza of Escherichia coli is an octamer in which the eight C-terminal domains form an α-helical OM pore and the eight copies of the three N-terminal domains (D1 to D3) form a periplasmic cavity.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Complemented with Emotion Regulation Training for Patients with Persistent Physical Symptoms: A Randomised Clinical Trial.

Introduction: Persistent medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) are a major burden for health care. Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) is efficacious for patients with MUS, with small to medium effects. The current study investigates whether therapy outcomes of a CBT for MUS patients can be improved by complementing it with emotion regulation training.
