CONCLUSIONS: Catastrophic fungal, fatal meningitis outbreaks in Mexico arose from failures of governance, learning, oversight, culture, supply chains, and frontline practice-and prevention requires coordinated action across the entire sociotechnical system. By situating perioperative safety failures within the broader context of health-system governance, this study demonstrates the value of participatory systems inquiry for linking frontline clinician […]

CONCLUSIONS: Salmonella bacteraemia in QLD shows substantial spatial and demographic heterogeneity, with clear hotspots in remote and tropical regions, supporting targeted, serotype-informed surveillance and prevention strategies, particularly for children and males in high-risk areas.

CONCLUSIONS: Amoxicillin's aqueous instability was not resolved by citrate buffering. However, for patients requiring IV therapy, probenecid-boosted intermittent and extended infusion regimens of amoxicillin appear to be promising alternatives that warrant further clinical investigation.

Objective: To inform the development of the Australian MND Guideline, this study aimed to identify challenges Australian healthcare professionals (HCPs) face in the clinical assessment and management of people living with MND (plwMND) including where practice varies from evidence or is underrepresented in the literature and challenges that arise when supporting non-MND specialists. Methods: An […]

CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic proctectomy led to a lower rate of pathologically successful resection and a higher rate of locoregional recurrence at 3 years. The possibility of subsequent poorer DFS or overall survival rate requires further evaluation, because this analysis was not specifically powered for these endpoints.

CONCLUSIONS: Lowering the platelet transfusion threshold to < 10 × 10⁹/L was not associated with increased bleeding complications and reduced platelet transfusion use. These findings support a more restrictive preprocedural transfusion strategy.

CONCLUSION: In this proof-of-concept study, the findings show that longitudinal analysis of routinely acquired CT scans can capture disease-relevant atrophy trajectories and may provide a practical adjunct for differentiating bvFTD from psychiatric misdiagnoses of bvFTD, provided image quality and longitudinal consistency are sufficient. This approach can re-purpose routinely acquired CT and could potentially be incorporated […]

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The purpose of this review was to summarise recent relevant studies examining refeeding syndrome risk and related outcomes in patients provided with enteral nutrition and discuss considerations for clinical practice and future research.

CONCLUSIONS: Formation and nurturing of interprofessional trust is the foundation for building strong partnerships between healthcare professionals that promote collaborative practice in primary care. Future research should include non-English and grey literature and focus on the unequal trust dynamics.

Pickleball's rapid growth in the United States is accompanied by a significant rise in injuries, particularly among older adults. This review summarizes current evidence on the epidemiology, mechanisms, and risk factors associated with pickleball-related injuries. Falls represent the most common cause, with wrist fractures, rotator cuff tears, ankle sprains, and heat-related illnesses occurring frequently. Age, […]

This review discusses the achievements of the National Echo Database of Australia (NEDA), a unique Australian resource facilitated by a collaborative nationwide approach and a common purpose to improve understanding of heart diseases through the gathering and analysis of big data. It is a first of its kind world-wide, with >2.1 million echocardiograms on >1.2 […]

CONCLUSIONS: Adults with witnessed OHCA due to blunt trauma, the no-flow duration compatible with a chance of 30-day favorable neurological outcome was extremely short, and overall prognosis was poor.

CONCLUSIONS: Adults with cSLE entered adult follow-up with higher baseline damage and continued to experience a higher longitudinal disease activity burden than patients with aSLE. These findings highlight the importance of early recognition, consistent longitudinal monitoring and timely escalation of therapy during earlier years of disease to reduce long-term disease burden.

CONCLUSIONS: Concussion reporting is multidimensional and influenced by micro, meso, and macro level factors. Factors have been identified that could be targeted by interventions aimed at improving sport-related concussion reporting amongst non-professional divisions of this population. These findings highlight implications, including strengthening recruitment, fostering team-level reporting norms, and addressing status quo practices at the club […]

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This qualitative study of consumer perspectives on AI in health care found that social license for AI is a conditional and dynamic construct not a fixed state; structural, performance, and relational factors intersected to shape social license. The findings provide evidence-based recommendations for stakeholders designing and implementing AI in clinical settings, highlighting […]
