Supporting children's recovery from bushfires: Stakeholders' views about the impact of a community-based intervention program on children.

Introduction: A multidisciplinary Bushfire Recovery Program was developed by Royal Far West focused on reducing the short- and medium-term impacts of the 2019-2020 bushfires in Australia on children's wellbeing and resilience.

Objectives: To evaluate the impact of the Program's psychosocial groups on children's wellbeing and resilience.

Design: A two-phase mixed method approach was used, involving post-intervention surveys and interviews of children impacted by the 2019-2020 bushfires in Australia who participated in the Bushfire Recovery Program, their parents/carers, teachers, and the facilitators of the workshops.

Diverse Microvirus Genomes Identified in the Stomach of a Sharp-Spined Notothen (Trematomus pennellii) from the Ross Sea (East Antarctica).

Sharp-spined notothen (Trematomus pennellii) is an icefish endemic to the southern ocean. From the stomach of an individual, we identified the genomes of 51 microviruses (family ). The major capsid proteins of most of these share the closest similarities to those identified in other marine organisms.

A method for measuring meaningful physiological variables in fish blood without surgical cannulation.

Gaining meaningful blood samples from water-breathing fish is a significant challenge. Two main methods typically used are grab 'n' stab and surgical cannulation. Both methods have benefits, but also significant limitations under various scenarios.

Fish feeds supplemented with calcium-based buffering minerals decrease stomach acidity, increase the blood alkaline tide and cost more to digest.

Predatory fish in the wild consume whole prey including hard skeletal parts like shell and bone. Shell and bone are made up of the buffering minerals calcium carbonate (CaCO) and calcium phosphate (Ca(PO)). These minerals resist changes in pH, meaning they could have physiological consequences for gastric acidity, digestion and metabolism in fish.

The Effects of Endotracheal Tube Size During Bronchoscopy in Simulated Models of Intubated Patients.

Objective: The aim is to use a simulation lung model to assess the possibility of performing bronchoscopy through endotracheal tubes (ETT) less than 8.0-mm while appropriately ventilating patients with normal and ARDS lungs in the setting of SARS-CoV-2.

Methods: Five SHERIDAN® ETTs were used to ventilate SimMan® 3G under respiratory compliance levels representing normal and severe ARDS lungs.
