Expert consensus and recommendations for Healthcare-Associated Infection surveillance in Queensland, Australia: A modified Delphi study.

Background: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) continue to contribute significantly to Australia's burden of disease. In Queensland, varied surveillance protocols exist contributing to unnecessary complexity. With end-user partners, we defined a minimum dataset to support the public reporting of HAI surveillance data.

Previous reproductive success informs nest-building decisions.

Behavioral outcomes, including foraging efficiency and reproductive success, often improve with age and with repeated breeding attempts. Here we examined the role of previous experience on the nest-building behavior of wild blue tits . In particular, we focused on how previous success or failure in rearing nestlings shapes nest-building decisions in subsequent years.

Beyond continuous positive airway pressure for cardiovascular risk reduction in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

An accumulating body of evidence suggests a bidirectional relationship between sleep and cardiovascular (CV) health. A high level of evidence has linked obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Accordingly, clinical sleep medicine emphasizes the diagnosis and treatment of OSA in the context of promoting CV health.

Effect of Indoor Residual Spraying on Malaria in Pregnancy and Pregnancy Outcomes: A Systematic Review.

Malaria in pregnancy increases maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is a core vector control strategy used to reduce transmission in endemic areas; however, its efficacy in reducing the sequelae of malaria in pregnancy is not well described. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science were searched for all studies assessing IRS exposure during pregnancy.
