The Core Story for Early Childhood Development and Learning Collaboration is a long-term communications initiative to transform the way early childhood development and learning is understood in Australia.
The Western Australian Child Development Atlas will use geospatial technology to map data on Western Australian children’s health, learning, development and social characteristics, giving community leaders and service providers the ability to identify the priority issues for their children.
More than 100 leading Australian stakeholders with early childhood expertise were invited to work with CoLab to develop the first Australian EC Declaration.
The experience of poverty early in the life course can have far-reaching impacts on children’s health, development and educational success, well into adulthood.
Over the last 40 years medical advances in the care of newborn babies has resulted in more children surviving very early “preterm” birth than ever before.
Without any realistic prospect of comprehensive global vaccine coverage and lasting immunity, control of pandemics such as COVID-19 will require implementation of large-scale, rapid identification and isolation of infectious individuals to limit further transmission. Here, we describe an automated, high-throughput integrated screening platform, incorporating saliva-based loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technology, that is designed for population-scale sensitive detection of infectious carriers of SARS-CoV-2 RNA.
Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is the most common bacterial otopathogen associated with otitis media (OM). NTHi persists in biofilms within the middle ears of children with chronic and recurrent OM. Australian Aboriginal children suffer exceptionally high rates of chronic and recurrent OM compared to non-Aboriginal children.
This report summarises the epidemiology of hospitalisations with laboratory-confirmed influenza during the 2019 influenza season. The Influenza Complications Alert Network (FluCAN) is a sentinel hospital-based surveillance program that operates at sites in all jurisdictions in Australia.
An acute bout of sprint interval training (SIT) performed with psychological need-support incorporating autonomy, competence, and relatedness has been shown to attenuate energy intake at the post-exercise meal, but the long-term effects are not known. The aim of this trial was to investigate the effects of 12 weeks of SIT combined with need-support on post-exercise food consumption.
When performing computerized tomography chest imaging in children, obtaining high quality, motion-free images is important in the accurate diagnosis of underlying pathology. General anesthesia is associated with the development of atelectasis, which can impair accurate diagnosis by obscuring or altering the appearance of the lung parenchyma or airways.
