Reports and Findings

Research

Development of the Aboriginal Communication Assessment After Brain Injury (ACAABI): A screening tool for identifying acquired communication disorders in Aboriginal Australians.

Acquired communication disorders (ACD), following stroke and traumatic brain injury, may not be correctly identified in Aboriginal Australians

Research

Genotype and phenotype spectrum of NRAS germline variants

Here we describe 19 new cases with RASopathy due to disease-causing variants in NRAS

Research

Using clinical information to make individualized prognostic predictions in people at ultra high risk for psychosis

Recent studies have shown an association between psychopathology and subsequent clinical and functional outcomes in people at UHR for psychosis.

Research

Quantification of walking-based physical activity and sedentary time in individuals with Rett syndrome

Quantifying individual's with Rett syndrome with the ability to walk, walking based activities and sedentary time, analyzing a variety of influences.

Research

Structure-diverse Phylomer libraries as a rich source of bioactive hits from phenotypic and target directed screens against intracellular proteins

Phylomer libraries are being increasingly used in applications such as phenotypic screening where the numbers of peptides which can be feasibly screened is limited

Research

Relationship between early motor milestones and severity of restricted and repetitive behaviors in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder

This study provides the first evidence for the association between restricted and repetitive behaviors and age of attainment of early motor milestones.

Research

Enrichment increases hippocampal neurogenesis independent of blood monocyte-derived microglia presence following high-dose total body irradiation

latent neural precursor cells remain present in the neurogenic niche of the adult hippocampus up to 8 weeks following high-dose total body irradiation

Research

Repeated vaccination does not appear to impact upon influenza vaccine effectiveness against hospitalization with confirmed influenza

These findings reinforce current recommendations for annual influenza vaccination, particularly those at greatest risk of influenza disease.

Research

Adherence to secondary prophylaxis for rheumatic heart disease is underestimated by register data.

Adequate resources are needed for maintenance of data quality in acute rheumatic fever/ rheumatic heart disease registers to ensure provision of evidence-based care and accurate assessment of program impact.
