The relationship between student gender and performance was examined in first year students enrolled in the Bachelor of Nursing course at Charles Sturt University from 1991 to 1995. A greater proportion of female students achieved passing grades in subjects studied when compared to male students, irrespective of the subject discipline area. Furthermore, a significantly greater proportion of female than male students passed nursing subjects; however, no statistically significant differences in performance were detected in the proportion of male or female students in either science or humanities subjects.

Epidemiology of Shiga toxin-producing other than serotype O157:H7 in England, 2016-2023.

Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) infections are of public health concern as STEC can cause large national foodborne outbreaks of severe gastrointestinal disease, particularly in the young and elderly. In recent years, the implementation of PCR by diagnostic microbiology laboratories has improved the detection of STEC, and there has been an increase in notifications of cases of non-O157 STEC. However, the extent this increase in caseload can be attributed to the improved detection by PCR, or a true increase in non-O157 STEC infections, is unknown.

Background And Aims: The enteric nervous system independently controls gastrointestinal function including motility, which is primarily mediated by the myenteric plexus, therefore also playing a crucial role in functional intestinal disorders. Live recordings from human myenteric neurons proved to be challenging due to technical difficulties. Using the neuroimaging technique, we are able to record human colonic myenteric neuronal activity and investigate their functional properties in a large cohort of patients.
