Proteomic and Functional Profiling of Trichoderma reesei , Pichia guilliermondii , and Hericium erinaceus

Abstract Fungi relevant to food systems and biotechnology differ in physiology, yet their condition-specific intracellular proteomes have rarely been compared using a common workflow. We hypothesized that harmonized extraction and data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry wo...

The PASE Study: The Prevalence and Associations of Bendopnoea in Patients with Pneumothorax

Background: We recently established that bendopnoea (breathlessness upon bending forward) is common with pleural effusion; however, it has never been reported or investigated in patients with pneumothorax. This exploratory study investigated the prevalence and clinical relevance...

The Effectiveness of Cluster vs. Rest-Redistribution Set Configurations to Maintain Movement Velocity During Resistance Training: A Systematic Review and Bayesian Network Meta-analysis

Alternative set structures such as cluster sets (CS) and rest-redistribution (RR) are often used as a more effective method for preserving movement velocity during resistance training than traditional sets (TS). However, only a limited number of studies have directly compared CS...

Remote, regional and rural teaching experiences: Principals' perspectives: Thriving in regional, rural, and remote educational experiences Part 2

In this episode, Narelle Lemon, Teachers Supporting Teachers producer and professor based at the Mount Lawley campus at Edith Cowan University, and her series co-host Marnie Harris, a lecturer based in the South West Campus in Bunbury, continue their conversation with Kimberley p...

Neurophysiological and neuromuscular responses associated with the repeated bout effect following eccentric exercise in healthy adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Muscle damage severity decreases after repeated eccentric exercise bouts (the repeated bout effect [RBE]), but whether accompanying neural and neuromuscular changes contribute to protection or arise secondary to reduced damage remains unclear. This systematic review and...

Effects of self-acupressure on the fatigue-sleep disturbance-depression symptom cluster in breast cancer survivors: a phase III randomised controlled trial

PURPOSE: To explore the effectiveness and safety of self-acupressure intervention on the fatigue-sleep disturbance-depression symptom cluster (FSDSC) among breast cancer (BC) survivors and to explore within-trial costs associated with the intervention. METHODS: Eligible participa...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Home-Care and Community Nursing: A Scoping Review

Background/Objectives: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being applied across healthcare, but empirical evidence on its use in home-care and community nursing remains fragmented across technologies, clinical contexts, nursing roles, and stages of implementation. This s...

Athletic Performance after Complex Training Compared to Traditional Strength Training

Effects of ≥4‑week Complex Training (CT) in trained/developmental athletes (≥3×/week, local competition) are unclear. This review addressed this gap. Five databases were searched for RCTs (updated June 2025) comparing CT vs. traditional strength training on jump, agility, and spr...

Playworld Translanguaging: A place-based approach for translanguaging play pedagogy in early childhood

Conceptualised from a vision to honour children’s languages, agency and cultural ways of knowing, this research presents findings from a place-based translanguaging play pedagogy for early childhood called Playworld Translanguaging. In the remote Kimberley of Western Australia, r...

Mental Health Professionals’ Perspectives on Essential Elements of Telehealth Family Psychoeducation for Major Depressive Disorder: An Exploratory Study

Family-inclusive interventions, such as family psychoeducation (FPE), improve outcomes in major depressive disorder (MDD), particularly when tailored to the needs of individuals with MDD, their families, and carers. This study explored mental health professionals' (MHPs) perspect...

Flourishing Childhood Frameworks: A Scoping Review

OBJECTIVES: Experiences in early life impact childhood, lifelong flourishing, and overall well-being. Yet a framework to guide promoting and measuring flourishing in early childhood has not emerged. The objective of this study was to identify frameworks and measures related to pr...

Positive Joint Work Redistribution in Running: The Role of Plantar Flexor Fatigue and the Effect of Advanced Footwear Technology

Abstract Over the course of a near-maximal effort 10 km run, positive mechanical work decreases at the ankle and increases at the knee. Although plantar flexor fatigue is believed to be responsible for the proximal shift in mechanical work generation, this has yet to be confirmed...

Two-stage stochastic programming for resource allocation in mobile underwater acoustic networks

Underwater Acoustic Networks (UANs) enable long-range communication for a range of applications. However, UANs are severely limited by scarce acoustic spectrum, which is shared with marine animals and can lead to disruptive interference, contributing to anthropogenic ocean noise....

Cellular Senescence and Immune Dysregulation in Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure: A Case Report Integrating Single-Cell and Spatial Transcriptomic Profiling

Background: Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a clinical syndrome characterized by acute decompensation of cirrhosis, systemic inflammation, and high short-term mortality (1). The underlying mechanisms involve a complex interplay between cellular senescence, immune dysregu...

Belonging-with Country: Diffracting equity, inclusion and care in Australian early childhood education

This article revisits the widely used yet underexamined concepts of equity, inclusion and belonging in Australian early childhood education. Building on Sumsion and Wong's interrogation of ‘belonging’ in the original Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) for Australia V2.0, it tr...

Cellular Senescence and Immune Dysregulation in Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure: A Case Report Integrating Single-Cell and Spatial Transcriptomic Profiling

Background: Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a clinical syndrome characterized by acute decompensation of cirrhosis, systemic inflammation, and high short-term mortality (1). The underlying mechanisms involve a complex interplay between cellular senescence, immune dysregu...

Prevalence of psychological distress among family caregivers of children with cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to systematically review and quantify the prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms in family caregivers of children with cancer and to explore potential determinants that may influence these outcomes. Methods: This systematic review and met...

Re-thinking bodies in cross-border physical education teacher education policies: a posthuman perspective

While posthumanist studies have increased in Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE), traditional analytical approaches are still often employed for the analysis of policy documents, which limits the ways that we can understand policy work. The aim of this paper is to explore...

A qualitative analysis to identify implementation strategies for a deprescribing clinical practice guideline using the CFIR-ERIC Matching Tool: perspectives from consumers and professional stakeholders

Abstract Introduction Deprescribing is the planned withdrawal or dose reduction of medicines when harms outweigh benefits or when they are no longer required. Following publication of the Clinical Practice Guideline for Deprescribing in Older People in September 2025, supporting...

Psychosocial interventions in childhood dementia: a call for action

Abstract Childhood dementia (CD) is a complex, rare, often under-recognised, and incurable neurogenetic group of disorders with neuromotor-behavioural symptoms and poor survival outcomes. Despite profound impacts, CD remains neglected and underfunded compared to other paediatric...
