Reports and Findings
Research
Kids in Communities Study (KiCS) study protocol: A cross-sectional mixed-methods approach to measuring community-level factors influencing early child development in AustraliaThe Kids in Communities Study will test and investigate community-level influences on child development across Australia
Research
An atlas of human long non-coding RNAs with accurate 5′ endsCombining these findings with conservation data, we identify 19,175 potentially functional lncRNAs in the human genome.
Research
Umbilical cord androgens and estrogens in relation to verbal and nonverbal abilities at age 10 in the general populationThese data suggest that late gestation sex steroids do not exert a major effect on nonverbal and verbal abilities in middle childhood.
Research
The Promise of Electroencephalography for Advancing Diagnosis and Treatment in Neurodevelopmental DisordersNeurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and intellectual disability (ID), commonly emerge during early development and impact functioning across cognitive, social-emotional, communication, and sensorimotor domains.
Research
Otitis-prone children produce functional antibodies to pneumolysin and pneumococcal polysaccharidesThe production of functional antipneumococcal antibodies in otitisprone children demonstrates that they respond to the current pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV)and are likely to respond to pneumolysin-based vaccines as effectively as healthy children.
Research
Rheumatic Heart Disease Severity, Progression and Outcomes: A Multi‐State ModelThe prognosis of young Indigenous Australians diagnosed with severe RHD is bleak; interventions must focus on earlier detection and treatment
Research
Echocardiographic screening for rheumatic heart disease in indigenous Australian children: A cost-utility analysisEchocardiographic screening for rheumatic heart disease is cost-effective in our context
Research
Childhood pneumonia and meningitis in the Eastern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea in the era of conjugate vaccines: study methods and challengesRecruitment of large numbers of pediatric pneumonia and meningitis cases and community controls in a third-world setting presents unique challenges
Research
Analysis of the human monocyte-derived macrophage transcriptome and response to lipopolysaccharide provides new insights into genetic aetiology of inflammatory bowel disease.We propose that this system provides a model for the differentiation and adaptation of monocytes entering the intestinal lamina propria.
Research
The role of PKCzeta in cord blood T-cell maturation towards Th1 cytokine profile and its epigenetic regulation by fish oilHere, we present evidence that there are two major control points to explain the immunodeficiency in CB T-cells, leading to a decreased IFNy synthesis.
