Implementing digital respiratory technologies for people with respiratory conditions: A protocol for a scoping review.

The value of 'data-enabled', digital healthcare is evolving rapidly, as demonstrated in the COVID-19 pandemic, and its successful implementation remains complex and challenging. Harmonisation (within/between healthcare systems) of infrastructure and implementation strategies has the potential to promote safe, equitable and accessible digital healthcare, but guidance for implementation is lacking. Using respiratory technologies as an example, our scoping review process will capture and review the published research between 12th December 2013 to 12th December 2023.

The elimination of lymphatic filariasis (LF) as a public health problem remains an ongoing challenge in the Pacific region. This study reports on antigen (Ag) and microfilaria (Mf) prevalence in Samoa in 2019, 7-9 months after the completion of the first round of triple-drug mass drug administration (MDA). It evaluates the effectiveness of the intervention for reducing Ag prevalence to below a 2% threshold, and how this differs between 5-9-year-olds and ≥10-year-olds.

Feasibility of Mental Health Triage Call Priority Prediction Using Machine Learning.

Background: Optimum efficiency and responsiveness to callers of mental health helplines can only be achieved if call priority is accurately identified. Currently, call operators making a triage assessment rely heavily on their clinical judgment and experience. Due to the significant morbidity and mortality associated with mental illness, there is an urgent need to identify callers to helplines who have a high level of distress and need to be seen by a clinician who can offer interventions for treatment.

We aimed to examine the disutility associated with psychological distress.

Methods: We utilized longitudinal data obtained from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey.

Equity in breast density notification in Australia: A focus group study exploring the impact and needs amongst culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) women.

Objectives: Previous research suggests a one-size-fits-all approach to breast density notification may disadvantage culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) women. This study aimed to qualitatively explore CALD women's understanding and views of breast density, attitudes towards health services access, acceptability of notification and preferences for breast density communication ahead of population-based notification in Australia.

Methods: Online focus groups were conducted with CALD women of breast screening age (40-74 years) who spoke one of the five languages with the lowest English proficiency in Australia (Korean, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese and Arabic).

Genotype-Guided Asthma Treatment Reduces Exacerbations in Children: Meta-Analysis of Two RCTs.

Background: Long-acting beta2-agonists (LABA) in combination with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are commonly used to treat asthma, however, some children lack response to the addition of LABA. This might be partially due to the presence of the Arg16Gly polymorphism, encoded by rs1042713 G>A in the ADRB2 gene. Carrying the A allele (Arg16) at this variant has been associated with an increased risk of exacerbations despite LABA treatment.

Indocyanine Green Lymphography in Conservative Lymphedema Management: An Exploration of the Impact on Lymphedema Therapy Plans.

Objectives: Information from indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography (ICG-L) can be used to guide an individual's lymphedema therapy plan. However, the mechanisms for this clinical translation are not well described. This study proposes a novel clinical decision support tool for translating ICG-L findings into individualized lymphedema therapy plans and describes subsequent changes in plan features of manual lymphatic drainage and compression.

The 'HAPI' project five years on: Incidence and prevalence of Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries in one local health district in Australia.

Aim: From 2015 to 2018, the 'Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injury (HAPI)' project was implemented in one local health district in Australia and utilised an implementation science approach to address rising pressure injury (PI) incidence and prevalence rates. This paper aims to examine whether the project was successful in sustaining low PI incidence and prevalence rates over the five-years following implementation (spanning the 2018/2019 to 2022/2023 financial years and the 2019-2023 calendar years).

Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving a comprehensive analysis of HAPI incidence, prevalence, and hospital-acquired complication (HAC) data spanning 5 years (incidence and HAC: 2018/2019 to 2022/2023 financial years; prevalence: January 2019 to December 2023 calendar years) post-implementation of the HAPI project.

Directed selective transport and enrichment of micropollutants by gradient hydrogels.

Selective autonomous enrichment of micropollutants in the aquatic media has attracted increasing attention because of their low concentration characteristics and diverse coexisting species. Herein, the gradient hydrogels were prepared via free redical polymerization of AA and NH-β-CD under the induction of unilateral UV illumination (P(AA-NH-β-CD)). The gradient hydrogels present autonomous enrichment towards Sb(III) with a higher selectivity both in single and binary solutions.

A pathway-based genetic score for inflammation: An indicator of vulnerability to phthalate-induced adverse neurodevelopment outcomes.

Introduction: Phthalates, chemical additives used to enhance plastic products' flexibility, are easily released into the environment, and can harm the brain development through various mechanisms including inflammation. Genetic variation influencing an individual's susceptibility to inflammation may play a role in the effects of phthalate exposure on neurodevelopment however there is no summary measure developed for genetic susceptibility to inflammation.

Methods: We developed a genetic pathway function score for inflammation (gPFS), based on the transcriptional activity of the inflammatory response pathway in the brain and other tissues.
