Early skills that predict English reading ability: A longitudinal study of bilingual children from 5 to 10 years.

Despite substantial research, the contribution of oral language skills acquired in Spanish to Spanish-English bilingual children's acquisition of English reading skill is unclear. The current study addressed this question with data on the oral language and pre-literacy skills of 101 Spanish-English bilingual learners at 5 years of age and their English word reading (i.e.

Who is responsible for postpartum contraception advice and provision? The perspective of hospital-based maternity clinicians in New South Wales, Australia.

Access to postpartum contraception is critical for the health of the mother and subsequent pregnancies. However, the differential roles and responsibilities of maternity care providers in contraception discussions and provision are often unclear. Our study, part of a larger study on midwifery provision of contraceptive implants, presents the perspectives of hospital-based maternity clinicians.

Activity of Ceftolozane-Tazobactam Against Gram-Negative Isolates from Australia and New Zealand as part of the PACTS Surveillance 2016-2018.

Objectives: Ceftolozane-tazobactam (C-T) is an anti-pseudomonal cephalosporin combined with a well-described β-lactamase inhibitor. Ceftolozane-tazobactam has enhanced activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and activity against Enterobacterales isolates that produce extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) or AmpC cephalosporinases. In this study, we analysed the susceptibility of Gram-negative isolates to C-T and comparators collected in Australia and New Zealand from 2016 to 2018 as part of the Program to Assess Ceftolozane-Tazobactam Susceptibility (PACTS) surveillance.

Filling lexical gaps and more: code-switching for the power of expression by young bilinguals.

In this preregistered, longitudinal study of early code-switching, 34 US-born, Spanish-English bilingual children were recorded with a bilingual family member at 2;6 and 3;6, in Spanish-designated and English-designated interactions. Children's Spanish and English expressive vocabulary and their exposure to code-switching were measured through direct assessment and caregiver report. The children code-switched most frequently at speaker changes; within-turn and within-utterance codeswitching were rare.

Feasibility, acceptability and sustainability of postpartum contraceptive implant provision by midwives in NSW public hospitals.

Background: Repeat pregnancy in the first year after a birth is common. Many of these conceptions are unintended and may be prevented by providing access to contraception in the immediate postpartum period. Midwives in the hospital setting could potentially play a greater role in improving postnatal contraception information and provision.
