- Squatting biomechanics following physiotherapist-led care or hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome: a secondary analysis from a randomised controlled trial 28 June 2024CONCLUSION: Exploratory data suggest at 12-months follow-up, neither PHT or hip arthroscopy are superior at eliciting changes in trunk, pelvis, or lower-limb biomechanics. Both treatments may induce changes in kinematics and moments, however the implications of these changes are unknown.Tamara M Grant
- Differential response of placental cells to high D-glucose and its impact on extracellular vesicle biogenesis and trafficking via small GTPase Ras-related protein RAB-7A 28 June 2024Placental extracellular vesicles (EVs) can be found in the maternal circulation throughout gestation, and their concentration, content and bioactivity are associated with pregnancy outcomes, including gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, the effect of changes in the maternal microenvironment on the mechanisms associated with the secretion of EVs from placental cells remains to be fully established. […]Carlos Palma
- Cell culture-derived extracellular vesicles: Considerations for reporting cell culturing parameters 28 June 2024Cell culture-conditioned medium (CCM) is a valuable source of extracellular vesicles (EVs) for basic scientific, therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Cell culturing parameters affect the biochemical composition, release and possibly the function of CCM-derived EVs (CCM-EV). The CCM-EV task force of the Rigor and Standardization Subcommittee of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles aims to identify […]Faezeh Shekari
- Optimal isolation of extracellular vesicles from pleural fluid and profiling of their microRNA cargo 28 June 2024Pleural effusion occurs in both benign and malignant pleural disease. In malignant pleural effusions, the diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity of pleural fluid cytology is less than perfect, particularly for the diagnosis of malignant pleural mesothelioma, but also in some cases for the diagnosis of metastatic pleural malignancy with primary cancer in the lung, breast or […]Tian Mun Chee
- Molecular genetic analysis of candidate genes for glutaric aciduria type II in a cohort of patients from Queensland, Australia 28 June 2024Glutaric aciduria type II (GAII) is a heterogeneous genetic disorder affecting mitochondrial fatty acid, amino acid and choline oxidation. Clinical manifestations vary across the lifespan and onset may occur at any time from the early neonatal period to advanced adulthood. Historically, some patients, in particular those with late onset disease, have experienced significant benefit from […]Kalliope Demetriou
- Conceptualizing Scaffold Guided Breast Tissue Regeneration in a Preclinical Large Animal Model 27 June 2024Scaffold-guided breast tissue regeneration (SGBTR) can transform both reconstructive and cosmetic breast surgery. Implant-based surgery is the most common method. However, there are inherent limitations, as it involves replacement of tissue rather than regeneration. Regenerating autologous soft tissue has the potential to provide a more like-for-like reconstruction with minimal morbidity. Our SGBTR approach regenerates soft […]Matthew Cheng
- New Oxazolidinones for Tuberculosis: Are Novel Treatments on the Horizon? 27 June 2024Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a global health concern. Standard treatment involves the use of linezolid, a repurposed oxazolidinone. It is associated with severe adverse effects, including myelosuppression and mitochondrial toxicity. As such, it is imperative to identify novel alternatives that are better tolerated but equally or more effective. Therefore, this review aims to identify and […]Ricky Hao Chen
- Impact of blood donation biovigilance and transfusion-transmitted infections on organ transplantation 27 June 2024Over 118 million blood donations are collected globally each year. Recipients of blood products include those who experience major trauma or surgery, have acute blood loss and anemia, or impaired bone marrow function. Solid organ transplant recipients often require transfusion of blood products which places them at risk of transfusion-associated adverse events including transfusion-transmitted infection. […]Adam G Stewart
- Insights into neurosteroids and their role in women with epilepsy 27 June 2024Epilepsy, is a serious neurological condition, characterized by recurring, unprovoked seizures and affects over 50 million people worldwide. Epilepsy has an equal prevalence in males and females, and occurs throughout the life span. Women with epilepsy (WWE) present with unique challenges due to the cyclical fluctuation of sex steroid hormone concentrations during their life course. […]Lata Vadlamudi

- A multi-centre longitudinal study analysing multiple sclerosis disease-modifying therapy prescribing patterns during the COVID-19 pandemic 27 June 2024CONCLUSIONS: Post-pandemic onset, clinicians preferentially prescribed natalizumab and cladribine over anti-CD20 mAbs and fingolimod, likely to preserve efficacy but reduce perceived immunosuppressive risks. This could have implications for disease progression in pwMS. Our findings highlight the significance of equitable DMT access globally, and the importance of evidence-based decision-making in global health challenges.Anoushka P Lal
- It Is in Our DNA: Bringing Electronic Health Records and Genomic Data Together for Precision Medicine 27 June 2024Health care is at a turning point. We are shifting from protocolized medicine to precision medicine, and digital health systems are facilitating this shift. By providing clinicians with detailed information for each patient and analytic support for decision-making at the point of care, digital health technologies are enabling a new era of precision medicine. Genomic […]Alan J Robertson
- Impact of digital health on the quadruple aims of healthcare: A correlational and longitudinal study (Digimat Study) 27 June 2024CONCLUSION: These findings should provide confidence to healthcare decision-makers investing in digital health.Leanna Woods
- "An excellent servant but a terrible master": Understanding the value of wearables for self-management in people with cystic fibrosis and their healthcare providers - A qualitative study 26 June 2024CONCLUSIONS: Perspectives on integrating wearables into CF care were cautiously optimistic, with emerging risks related to patient anxiety and lack of evidence moderating acceptance.Graeme Mattison
- ChatGPT can help guide and empower patients after prostate cancer diagnosis 26 June 2024CONCLUSIONS: AI can guide and empower patients after prostate cancer diagnosis through education. However, the limitations of the ChatGPT language-model must not be ignored and require further evaluation and optimisation in the healthcare field.Harry Collin
