Issue Addressed: University students are at risk of poor health behaviours which negatively affect mental health and wellbeing. Informing the implementation of appropriate strategies to support Australian university students' health and wellbeing, requires quality evidence. This study aimed to identify research priorities for improving health behaviours to optimise mental health of Australian university students.

The experts discussed issues related to CGM accuracy, indications, education, clinical outcomes, quality of life, research gaps, and barriers to dissemination. Three main goals of management for patients with CKD and diabetes were identified: (1) greater use of CGMs for better glycemic monitoring and management, (2) further research evaluating the accuracy, feasibility, outcomes, and potential value of CGMs in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on hemodialysis, and (3) equitable access to CGM technology for patients with CKD.

Addressing these risks necessitates the development of tailored, evidence-based resources to support these key health behaviours. Participatory research approaches, engaging those with relevant lived experience (i.

- Cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (CDK8) helps control how viruses, especially the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), grow in our cells by affecting important processes in their life cycles.
- Scientists tested some drugs that stop CDK8 to see if they could help fight HCMV, and they found that these drugs made the virus grow much less in cell cultures.
- The research showed that CDK8 is crucial for HCMV's later stages of growth, and using CDK8 inhibitors together with other treatments could work really well against the virus.
