Disease Focused Integrated Care - a New Model of Healthcare Delivery for the Treatment of Skin Cancer.

Introduction: As the most common cancer in Australia, skin cancer generates a considerable health burden. This study outlines the establishment of a new model of integrated care for the diagnosis and management of skin cancer.

Methods: A new model of integrated care was established to provide access to all aspects of skin cancer management.

Prospective Study of Clinical Outcomes From a Breast Implant Assessment Service.

Background: Breast augmentation remains the commonest cosmetic surgical procedure worldwide, in spite of recent regulatory action.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate women with breast implants attending a breast implant assessment clinic and to capture clinical and implant data in women presenting to the service.

Methods: Patients were enrolled prospectively between January 2018 and December 2021.

Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma in Australia: A Longitudinal Study of Implant and Other Related Risk Factors.

Background: Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is an emerging cancer that has been linked to the use of textured devices. The recent increase in number and frequency of cases has led to worldwide regulatory action.

Objectives: The authors aimed to longitudinally study BIA-ALCL in Australia since the index case was first reported in 2007.

The Epidemiology of Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma in Australia and New Zealand Confirms the Highest Risk for Grade 4 Surface Breast Implants.

Background: The epidemiology and implant-specific risk for breast implant-associated (BIA) anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) has been previously reported for Australia and New Zealand. The authors now present updated data and risk assessment since their last report.

Methods: New cases in Australia and New Zealand were identified and analyzed.

Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma in Australia and New Zealand: High-Surface-Area Textured Implants Are Associated with Increased Risk.

Background: The association between breast implants and breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) has been confirmed. Implant-related risk has been difficult to estimate to date due to incomplete datasets.

Methods: All cases in Australia and New Zealand were identified and analyzed.

Manual and Instrument Applied Cervical Manipulation for Mechanical Neck Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of 2 different cervical manipulation techniques for mechanical neck pain (MNP).

Methods: Participants with MNP of at least 1 month's duration (n = 65) were randomly allocated to 3 groups: (1) stretching (control), (2) stretching plus manually applied manipulation (MAM), and (3) stretching plus instrument-applied manipulation (IAM). MAM consisted of a single high-velocity, low-amplitude cervical chiropractic manipulation, whereas IAM involved the application of a single cervical manipulation using an (Activator IV) adjusting instrument.
