Understanding Peer Dynamics and Resilience in Adolescence: Insights From a Population-Based Australian Study

Adolescence is marked by rapid developmental change and a heightened risk for developing mental illness, making the identification of protective factors critical. Resilience, defined as the capacity to adapt in the face of adversity, is a key contributor to mental health, yet the...

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...

The effects of fungal decay on timber connections: a systematic review

Abstract Connections are critical for the integrity of timber structures, yet they are highly susceptible to reduced capacity due to moisture intrusion and subsequent fungal decay. While the effects of decay on clear wood are well documented, the impacts on the mechanical perform...

Spin Coupled FeCo Dual‐Atom Sites Direct Selective Ozone Activation for Hypersaline Wastewater Purification

ABSTRACT Heterogeneous catalytic ozonation represents a powerful process for eliminating refractory organic contaminants from hypersaline wastewater, yet its application is restricted by two critical bottlenecks: inefficient ozone activation and lack of control over on‐demand rea...

Extended dispensing intervals for pancreatic enzyme extract without access destabilisation: a national retrospective study evaluating supply resilience during policy changes and medicine shortages in Australia

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to describe national trends in pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) dispensing in Australia and assess changes following the introduction of 60-day prescription dispensing, in the context of medicine shortages and market changes. METHODS: Public...

Following the rules: which type 1 diabetes guidelines, protocols and recommendations are tertiary clinics in Australia following? A quantitative study

OBJECTIVES: This study characterises the use of type 1 diabetes (T1D) guidelines and protocols in Australian T1D clinics working with paediatric patients, and determines if management practices align with T1D-specific guidelines. METHODS: T1D clinic service leaders responded to a...

Chlorine-mediated electrosynthesis of hydrazine from urea

Abstract Hydrazine is an important chemical widely used in fuels and emerging energy systems, but its industrial synthesis heavily relies on energy-intensive processes involving hazardous oxidants. Here we report a mild and energy-saving electrocatalysis process that enables effi...

A governance and management framework for addressing modern slavery risk in multi-tier supply chains

Abstract Better governance of modern slavery risk represents a key challenge that needs to be addressed if sustainability in global supply chains is to be realised in line with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 8.7. This conceptual paper develops and presents a multidim...

Pretesting with AI-generated static and video ads

Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) makes it feasible to generate highly finished ads for pretesting, before final, human production. In this ‘proof of concept’ study, AI was used to make static and multi-shot video ads. When compared with the real ads they were based on, there...

Building a Physics-Aware AI Ecosystem for Solid-State Hydrogen Storage Materials

Abstract Hydrogen storage remains a central bottleneck for scalable hydrogen energy systems due to the multiscale and coupled nature of the thermodynamics, kinetics, and microstructural evolution of hydrogen storage materials (HSMs). Although artificial intelligence (AI) has acce...

Acute kidney injury and renal replacement therapy: a critical synthesis of metabolic derangements and nutritional implications

Acute kidney injury (AKI) affects up to 50% of critically ill patients and is frequently complicated by severe metabolic derangements, requiring the initiation of replacement therapy (RRT) in 10–15% of cases. Despite substantial progress in the diagnosis of AKI and optimisation o...

Biogeochemical Control of Hydrogen–Iron Minerals Interfacial Chemistry in Subsurface Energy Systems

Abstract Microbial processes are increasingly recognized as critical modifiers of solid–fluid interfaces in subsurface systems; however, their role in hydrogen–mineral interfacial chemistry remains poorly constrained. Here, we demonstrate that microbial colonization fundamentally...

Establishment of a human osteocyte model to reveal mechanisms of chronic Staphylococcus epidermidis bone and joint infections

Aims Chronic bone and joint infections caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis can be difficult to treat and are prone to recurrence. In this study, established human osteoblast- and osteocyte-like cell line models were used in vitro to investigate the intracellular persistence of S...

A Review on Janus Nanoparticles: Duality Leading to Prospective Multipotent Applications

Janus nanoparticles (JNPs), named after the bi-faced Roman God has emerged as a hot topic in the present era of nanoscience because of their chemical, structural and physical uniqueness. These particles stand out in the crowd as they are composed of two or more faces with contras...

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...

Associations between metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease and physical and mental health–related quality of life in older adults

Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a common, often overlooked liver condition. Its impact on quality-of-life in older adults is not well understood. We examined the association between MASLD and physical and mental quality of life in a well-charac...

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...

Engineering N-site isomerism in donor-acceptor covalent organic frameworks for efficient Fenton-like water purification

Abstract Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as promising candidates for singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) generation via peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation, yet their structure-property-activity relationships remain poorly understood. Herein, three constitutionally isomeric d...

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

Objective: To inform the development of the Australian MND Guideline, this study aimed to identify challenges Australian healthcare professionals (HCPs) face in the clinical assessment and management of people living with MND (plwMND) including where practice varies from evidence...

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...
