This article explores the life and work of Dr Caroline F. Hamilton, one of the pioneering female physicians sent from the USA to the Ottoman Empire in the late 19th century. Over a career spanning three decades, Hamilton provided critical medical care, especially to women, at the Azariah Smith Memorial Hospital in Aintab, overcoming legal, cultural, and political obstacles to become one of the first women licensed to practise medicine in the region.

To evaluate and refine the detection of somatic mosaicism across different technologies with personalized donor-specific assembly (DSA), we obtained tissue from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) of a post-mortem neurotypical 31-year-old individual. We sequenced bulk DLPFC tissue using Oxford Nanopore Technologies (∼60X), NovaSeq (∼30X), and linked-read sequencing (∼28X).

Here, we examine genetic associations with plasma and skin carotenoid concentrations in two rigorously phenotyped human cohorts (n=317). Analysis of genome-wide SNPs revealed heritability to vary by genetic ancestry (h²=0.

Background: A health assets-based approach seeks to identify health-promoting or protective factors across multiple levels. Evidence of the health assets of refugees at the individual, family, and community levels in Australia is scarce. We aimed to synthesise current evidence from Australia to identify refugee health assets and explore how they influence health and well-being.
