The Psychological and Wellbeing Impacts of Quarantine on Frontline Workers during COVID-19 and Beyond.

Objective: The current study investigated the experiences, wellbeing impacts, and coping strategies of frontline workers who participated in "Hotels for Heroes", an Australian voluntary hotel quarantine program during the COVID-19 pandemic. The program was open to those who were COVID-19 positive or exposed to COVID-19 as part of their profession.

Methods: Frontline workers who had stayed in voluntary quarantine between April 2020 and March 2021 were invited to participate in a voluntary, anonymous, cross-sectional online survey including both quantitative and qualitative responses.

Limits of remote working: the ethical challenges in conducting Mental Health Act assessments during COVID-19.

COVID-19 has created additional challenges in mental health services, including the impact of social distancing measures on care and treatment. For situations where a detention under mental health legislation is required to keep an individual safe, psychiatrists may consider whether to conduct an assessment in person or using video technology. The Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 does not stipulate that an assessment has to be conducted in person.

Combined chronic myeloid leukaemia and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia in five patients, including one with 17p deletion.

We report a series of five Australian cases of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) occurring concurrently with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). Patient management including therapies and response together with clinical progress was obtained from medical records and laboratory information systems. Prior to CML diagnosis, all five had a preceding diagnosis of CLL.
