Novel GABAAR antagonists target networked gene hubs at the leading-edge in high-grade gliomas

Ion channel activity underlying biological processes that drive high-grade gliomas (HGG) is largely unknown. We aimed to determine the networking of ion channel genes and validate their expression within HGG patient tumors, to identify ion channel-targeting drugs that would inhibit tumor-promoting processes.

School-based HPV vaccination positively impacts parents’ attitudes toward adolescent vaccination

This qualitative study aimed to explore parental attitudes, knowledge and decision-making about HPV vaccination for adolescents in the context of a gender-neutral school-based Australian National Immunisation Program (NIP). Semi-structured interviews with parents of adolescents eligible for HPV vaccination were undertaken as part of an evaluation of a cluster-randomised controlled trial of a complex intervention in 40 schools (2013-2015).

Expanding the phenotype of the CDKL5 deficiency disorder: Are seizures mandatory?

These cases, both without seizures but with apparent behavioral symptomatology, together question whether seizures are mandatory in this disorder

The rationale for action to end new cases of rheumatic heart disease in Australia

The choice of RHD is telling: the disease is a marker of inequality, a novel lens for considering health systems and a feasible target for disease control.

Repeat pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine in Indigenous Australian adults is associated with decreased immune responsiveness

These findings highlight the critical need to evaluate the efficacy of future pneumococcal vaccine programs in the Australian Indigenous populations that recommend repeated doses of 23vPPV.

MS in South Asians in England: Early disease onset and novel pattern of myelin autoimmunity

Epidemiological studies describe a latitude gradient for increased MS prevalence and a preponderance of disease in Caucasian individuals.

Seasonal variation of relapse rate in multiple sclerosis is latitude dependent

We demonstrate a latitude-dependent relationship between seasonal UVR trough and relapse onset probability peak independent of location-specific UVR levels
