Research

What is known about consumer nutrition environments in Australia? A scoping review of the literature

This study aimed to summarize the attributes that have been examined in existing peer-reviewed studies of Australian consumer nutrition environments

Research

Group A Streptococcus M1T1 Intracellular Infection of Primary Tonsil Epithelial Cells Dampens Levels of Secreted IL-8 Through the Action of SpyCEP

Our results suggest that intracellular infection with the pathogenic GAS M1T1 clone induces a strong pro-inflammatory response in primary tonsil epithelial cells

Research

The influence of incomplete case ascertainment on measures of vaccine efficacy

A biologically active vaccine may produce a low measured vaccine efficacy under a range of epidemiological, vaccine-related and logistical conditions

Research

Mucormycosis in Children: Review and Recommendations for Management

we summarize the literature on the epidemiology and diagnosis of this invasive fungal infection and provide suggestions on the management of mucormycosis in children

Research

Effects of Dietary Acute Tryptophan Depletion (ATD) on NPY Serum Levels in Healthy Adult Humans Whilst Controlling for Methionine Supply-A Pilot Study

Acute tryptophan depletion, and therefore, diminished substrate availability for brain 5-HT synthesis did not lead to significant changes in serum neuropeptide Y concentrations over time

Research

The glycaemic benefits of a very-low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet in adults with Type 1 diabetes mellitus may be opposed by increased hypoglycaemia risk and dyslipidaemia

This study provides the first evidence that, ketogenic diets in adults with Type 1 diabetes are associated with excellent HbA1c levels and little glycaemic variability

Research

Effectiveness of a 3 + 0 pneumococcal conjugate vaccine schedule against invasive pneumococcal disease among a birth cohort of 1.4 million children in Australia

Our population-based cohort study demonstrates that >90% coverage in the first year of a universal 3 + 0 PCV program provided high population-level protection

Research

Dysbiotic drift and biopsychosocial medicine: how the microbiome links personal, public and planetary health

Here we focus on the rapidly progressing microbiome science as a way to illustrate the pathways by which exposure to biodiversity supports health

Research

Invasive Streptococcus A Disease

Streptococcus A is a bacterium often found in the throat and on the skin.
