Published: January 1997

This study, a replication of one carried out in England, describes a survey of journal readership by physiotherapists in hospital practice in Australia. The results reveal that, besides a high and widespread readership of newsletters, more than 90 per cent of respondents read journals other than the Australian Journal of Physiotherapy. There was moderate but extensive readership of other physiotherapy literature, while readership of non-physiotherapy literature was infrequent but widespread. Respondents who were registered for postgraduate education displayed a more extensive readership. A comparison of the studies in England and Australia reveals the similarity of results between those with a degree background in both countries.

Although immunotherapy has revolutionized clinical cancer treatment, the efficacy is limited due to the lack of tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) and the presence of compensatory immune checkpoints. To overcome the deficiency, a nano-system loaded with ozone and CD47 inhibitor RRx-001 is designed and synthesized. Upon irradiation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated from ozone reacts with nitric oxide (NO) metabolized from RRx-001 to form reactive nitrogen species (RNS), which presents a much stronger cell-killing ability than ROS.
