Interventions to improve interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) in hospital teams vary widely in their development, delivery, and evaluation. This review describes how successful IPCP interventions have been developed, the nature and delivery of these interventions, and the outcomes used to evaluate them. Databases were searched in January 2023 and September 2024. Studies were included if […]

CONCLUSION: The review highlights benefits to undertaking data linkage research within the Australian context and has noted several gaps to address that could enhance the evidence-base globally. Enhancements to the RECORD statement are recommended. Enhancements in ethics, governance and information sharing protocols between institutions should be investigated to support more comprehensive linkages that facilitate the […]

CONCLUSION: This study underscores the multifaceted barriers and enablers that act as motivators to cultivate research capacity within hospital pharmacy departments. Addressing concerns such as protected research time, mentorship, and streamlined governance processes is essential to nurturing a sustainable research culture.

CONCLUSIONS: Energy and protein delivery were comparable between the ICU and post-ICU ward, consistently remaining below prescribed targets. This may reflect an evidence-based shift early in ICU, but persistent deficits post-ICU may impair recovery and warrant further investigation.

In most plants, the zygote divides asymmetrically to define the body axis. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the zygote undergoes polar cell elongation with maintaining a transverse band of cortical microtubules (MTs) at the growing cell tip. How the MT band is maintained at the actively renewing tip and whether it contributes to the asymmetric zygote division […]

Historical and contemporary subperiosteal implants continue to encounter issues with peri-implantitis, peri-implant mucositis and bacterial colonisation of the implant substructure, leading to failure of the entire implant. Combining Poly (ε-capro-lactone) (PCL) overlay scaffolds with subperiosteal implants could improve their success by encasing the implant in bone. A large animal study was undertaken with 4 groups […]

CONCLUSIONS: Long-term follow-up of feMMe trial participants demonstrated that most participants who developed a pathological complete response at trial completion were likely to sustain this response, while those who did not respond at trial completion were likely to require a hysterectomy for disease control.

People of South Asian ancestry represent approximately 25% of the world's population, yet constitute less than 2% of global genomic databases, limiting our ability to provide equitable genomic healthcare for this population. The urgent need to improve representation of diverse populations in genomic research is widely recognised as an area of priority among the genetics […]

CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated that LV distension during V-A ECMO flow is influenced by ventricular function, volume status, and SVR. Judicious volume management and afterload control are essential, and patients with preserved RV function may require adjunct LV unloading strategies.

Bisphosphonates are used widely to treat osteoporosis and to manage bone metastases in patients with breast cancer. Some studies suggest that nitrogen-based bisphosphonates (NBBs) may also reduce cancer risk more broadly, although evidence is inconsistent. Using linked administrative health data from Australian women aged > 50 years, we conducted nested case-control studies and used conditional […]

CONCLUSION: This study highlights the primary factors influencing the selection of root canal instruments in dental education programs, with ease of use, safety, and evidence-based practice being the most significant determinants. These factors play a crucial role in the selection of tools taught to dental students. However, further investigation is needed to determine whether these […]

CONCLUSION: HypnoBirthing is associated with a significant reduction in the use of epidural analgesia, greater use of water immersion, and decreased odds of caesarean section. Our study suggests that the use of HypnoBirthing during labour can further support women's aspirations to avoid pharmacological analgesia and achieve an unassisted vaginal birth.

Plants generate long-range signals via complex mechanisms that integrate electrical, calcium, and chemical signals. While animals employ synaptic/neural connections for cell-cell and organ-organ signal transduction, plants depend on specialized structures, such as plasmodesmata and vascular bundles. This review examines recent advances in elucidating these plant-specific long-range signal mechanisms, emphasizing the initiation, propagation, and integration of […]

This dataset was acquired and curated to explore the spectrum of Motor Neuron Disease (MND) and Fronto-Temporal Dementia (FTD) with Ultra-High Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging (7 Tesla) and compare these to non-neurodegenerative disease controls (known colloquially as "The 7 T hEalthy Ageing study [7TEA]"). Twenty people living with neurodegenerative disease and 14 non-neurodegenerative controls underwent […]
