The future of high-dose, high-intensity neurorehabilitation: Consensus-based core recommendations from the fourth Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation Roundtable

Objective: Convergent evidence indicates that high-dose, high-intensity rehabilitation (HDHI) improves outcomes beyond usual care after stroke, yet implementation remains limited. While questions of optimal dose, timing, and delivery format continue to be refined, the biological...

P1.210. Improving Quality of Life in Resectable Oesophageal Cancer Patients Through Perioperative Allied Health Interventions: A Systematic Review

Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Surgical Treatment of Esophageal Cancer – early outcomes and complications Background In patients with resectable disease, the 5-year survival is higher, with a rate of 44-52% for those who have undergone an esophagectomy, however there is an ove...

P1.208. Long-Term Health Related Quality of Life Following Curative Treatment for Esophageal Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Surgical Treatment of Esophageal Cancer – long term outcomes Background Treatment for esophageal cancer has a significant impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Advances in treatment have resulted in improved survival rates, and the ne...

P1.209. Long-Term Survival Outcomes After Esophagectomy for Cancer in Australia

Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Surgical Treatment of Esophageal Cancer – long term outcomes Background Five-year overall survival following esophagectomy for esophageal cancer is infrequently reported at a national level. This study investigated the influence of hospital annua...

Observations of groundwater-surface water exchange effects on emerging pollutants in a subtropical catchment

The occurrence of emerging pollutants (EPs) in aquatic environments is a major threat to natural ecosystems and human health, but the connections between EPs in surface water and groundwater have been largely unexplored. Here, a total of 38 EPs, including antibiotics, per- and po...

CDK1-Cyclin B mediated phosphorylation of PP2A-B56 on B56Par1.T73T75 controls mitotic entry timing and Schizosaccharomyces pombe cell size

Abstract Mitosis is triggered when the rising activity of CDK1-Cyclin B, amplified by the CDK1/Cdc25/Wee1 feedback loop, overcomes inhibitory signalling from Wee1 and counteracting phosphatases. CDK-opposing phosphatases PP1, PP2A-B55 and PP2A-B56 are regulators of mitosis. A scr...

Genome-Wide Association Study of Corneal Dystrophy Uncovers Novel Risk Loci and Enables Improved Polygenic Prediction of Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy

Abstract Objective To identify risk loci for Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) and improve a genetic risk prediction model. Design Genome–wide association study (GWAS), polygenic risk score (PRS) construction, and TCF4 CTG18.1 short tandem repeat (STR) length inference....

Observation of lunge-feeding by pygmy blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus brevicauda) in the Wetar Strait of Timor-Leste

An aerial observation of of pygmy blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus brevicauda) sub-surface feeding in the Wetar Straight of Timor-Leste. Based on current understanding of their foraging ecology, these whales were probably feeding opportunistically on krill-like zooplankton.

Hoverfly responses to looming stimuli depend on elevation and speed

Abstract An object on immediate collision course generates a rapidly expanding visual stimulus on the retina, which will typically trigger a fast reaction, such as an evasive behavior. In hoverflies, for example, visual looming stimuli may be generated if the insect is about to c...

Caging Polyhalide Anions in Polycyclodextrin for Long‐Lasting Aqueous Zinc‐Iodine Batteries

ABSTRACT Confining polyiodide species at the cathode is pivotal to the stability and long life of aqueous zinc‐iodine batteries (AZIBs). Current approaches using porous inorganic materials to physically trap polyiodide species or organic additives to electrostatically bind them r...

Additive manufacturing of advanced electronic devices: a comprehensive review of materials, processes, and applications

The additive manufacturing (AM) technology has gained recognition as an innovative technology that holds promise for transforming the electronics industry through the realization of complex designs and multi-material integration. Advances in additive manufacturing (AM) technologi...

Genetic Ablation and Multi‐Omics Profiling Reveal CEP55 as a Key Driver of Tumorigenesis in Diverse Cancer Models

ABSTRACT CEP55, a centrosomal protein frequently overexpressed in multiple cancers, is implicated in regulation of genomic instability and PI3K/AKT pathway activation, yet its role in tumor progression and the tumor microenvironment remains incompletely defined. Here, we develope...

Understanding the family planning experiences and information needs of people living with multiple sclerosis: an Australian cohort study

Purpose Good quality information on family planning is essential for people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS), yet how they receive or seek information about family planning to inform reproductive decision-making is unknown. This cohort study aimed to understand the impact of MS on...

Epibenthic habitats of the lower mesophotic zone off western Kangaroo Island, South Australia

Context Mesophotic temperate habitats are among the world’s most poorly studied ecosystems, yet they support a wide range of ecosystem services, including fisheries production. Aims In this study, we aimed to compare the epibenthic communities occurring on mesophotic plain v. ree...

Factors associated with bowel cancer screening participation among First Nations Peoples receiving home health care services in New South Wales, Australia

First Nations Australians consistently exhibit lower bowel screening participation rates than non-First Nations Australians. However, limited studies have been conducted to understand the factors associated with bowel cancer screening participation among First Nations Australians...

Issues in the clinical assessment and management of people living with motor neurone disease (MND): a survey of Australian healthcare professionals
