To better understand linkages between hydrology and ecosystem carbon flux in northern aquatic ecosystems, we evaluated the relationship between plant communities, biofilm development, and carbon dioxide (CO) exchange following long-term changes in hydrology in an Alaskan fen. We quantified seasonal variation in biofilm composition and CO exchange in response to lowered and raised water table position (relative to a control) during years with varying levels of background dissolved organic carbon (DOC). We then used nutrient-diffusing substrates (NDS) to evaluate cause-effect relationships between changes in plant subsidies (i.

  • * Results showed that a higher PRS was more strongly related to EGFR-positive LUAD cases (OR=8.63) than to EGFR-negative cases (OR=3.50), indicating a significant association based on mutation status.
  • * These findings imply that genetic susceptibility to LUAD differs in never-smoking East Asian women depending on whether the cancer has specific mutations, which could affect public health strategies and clinical practices.*

Background: Poverty can have significant impacts on health and wellbeing. However, asking patients about their broader socio-economic circumstances is not routine within primary care consultations.

Aim: To understand healthcare professionals' experiences of communicating with patients about their socio-economic circumstances and how a bespoke training programme supported these conversations in routine consultations.

Background: Effective bowel cancer screening is freely available in Australia, however, there are inequities in utilisation amongst non-English speakers at home. This study estimates the health impacts and cost-effectiveness of recruitment interventions targeted at Arabic and Mandarin speaking populations in Victoria, Australia to increase bowel cancer screening participation.

Methods: A Markov microsimulation model simulated the development of bowel cancer, considering National Bowel Cancer Screening Program participation rates.
