Evaluating the use, acceptability, usability, and perceptions of melanoma risk prediction tools for estimating melanoma risk among the community and patients in Australia: a mixed methods study

Abstract Background To identify high-risk individuals, melanoma risk prediction tools have been developed. However, little is known about their use in practice by patients and the community. We assessed the use, usability and acceptability of two validated melanoma risk predictio...

Indices of obesity, malnutrition and inflammation are strong predictors of mortality in adults with type 2 diabetes: the FIELD study

Abstract Aims/hypothesis Metabolic risk in type 2 diabetes is not fully captured by standard clinical measures. Use of NMR-based metabolomic indices may enhance risk prediction, but their role in individuals with type 2 diabetes is unresolved. Methods We analysed data from 9550 a...

Oxygen vs Air at Birth for Moderate- to Late-Preterm Infants

Importance The optimal initial fraction of inspired oxygen (F io 2 ) for delivery room resuscitation of neonates born at 32 to 35 weeks’ gestation is unknown. Objective To compare outcomes for neonates born at 32 to 35 weeks’ gestation when initiating resuscitation with F io 2 0....

Efficacy and safety of canagliflozin are consistent across polypharmacy burden in CKD: the CREDENCE trial

Abstract Background Polypharmacy in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is substantial. Clinicians and patients are often reluctant to add medications to already complex regimens, partly due to concerns about diminishing efficacy and increased adverse effects. We assessed whether effica...

The Association of Umbilical Cord Blood Neurofilament Light With Nonreassuring Fetal Status: A Prospective Observational Study

( Int J Gynaecol Obstet . 2026 Mar;172(3):1491–1500. doi:10.1002/ijgo.70421) A prospective observational study explored whether neurofilament light (NfL), a marker of neuronal injury, can be reliably measured in umbilical cord blood and whether it is associated with nonreassuring...

Effect of Testosterone Treatment on Leucocyte Telomere Length in Men: Results From a Randomised Placebo‐Controlled Trial

BACKGROUND: Lower testosterone concentrations in older men are associated with poorer health outcomes. OBJECTIVE: We examined whether, on a background of lifestyle intervention, testosterone treatment modulates leucocyte telomere length, a postulated marker of biological ageing,...
