Background: For children under age six, regular preventative primary care is needed for administration of vaccinations, surveillance of development, and early diagnosis and intervention for any potential health conditions or developmental delays. The COVID-19 pandemic created many barriers to providing and accessing primary care. While many studies have explored these barriers, it is important to understand how primary care adapted to ensure these crucial early-years appointments were not missed throughout the pandemic.

Article Synopsis
- Culex tritaeniorhynchus, a mosquito species linked to the Japanese encephalitis virus, was recently discovered in Australia's Northern Territory, raising concerns for Western Australia due to shared habitats.
- The study conducted extensive mosquito surveillance using CO2 traps in the Kimberley region, confirming the presence of this species through molecular identification of the collected specimens.
- Findings revealed 211 female Cx. tritaeniorhynchus specimens from diverse locations, indicating established populations in WA, marking the first confirmation of this mosquito species in the state.
Intrinsic capacity and ageing well for Aboriginal people in remote Western Australia: a longitudinal cohort study.

Western Australian Centre for Health and Ageing, the University of Western Australia, Perth, WA.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to evaluate intrinsic capacity in older Aboriginal people living in remote Western Australia, highlighting its significance for healthy aging.
- The research involved a longitudinal cohort design, analyzing survey and clinical data from Aboriginal individuals aged 45 and up across six communities and the town of Derby, conducted from 2004 to 2013.
- Key findings indicated that, at baseline, 15.9% of participants had unimpaired intrinsic capacity across all domains, with notable gender differences, and by the follow-up, 24.1% showed decreased capacity while 40.5% maintained or improved their status, with a significant number also having died during the study period.
Immune digital twins for complex human pathologies: applications, limitations, and challenges.

Digital twins represent a key technology for precision health. Medical digital twins consist of computational models that represent the health state of individual patients over time, enabling optimal therapeutics and forecasting patient prognosis. Many health conditions involve the immune system, so it is crucial to include its key features when designing medical digital twins.

This study presents surveillance data from 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2023 for community-associated methicillin-resistant (CA-MRSA) notified in the Kimberley region of Western Australia (WA) and describes the region's changing CA-MRSA epidemiology over this period. A subset of CA-MRSA notifications from 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2015 were linked to inpatient and emergency department records. Episodes of care (EOC) during which a positive CA-MRSA specimen was collected within the first 48 hours of admission and emergency presentations (EP) during which a positive CA-MRSA specimen was collected on the same day as presentation were selected and analysed further.
