Triangulation of dispensing and wastewater data for surveillance during lisdexamfetamine shortages: A descriptive time series analysis

Abstract Aims Lisdexamfetamine, a long‐acting stimulant for attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), has experienced widespread shortages in Australia since late 2023, raising concerns about treatment continuity and shifts in stimulant use patterns. This study assessed th...

Acute postoperative dietary intake in older adult hip fracture patients: An exploratory three-day weighed food diary observational study

BackgroundOlder adults recovering from hip fracture surgery are at risk from poor outcomes that can impede dietary intake, delay recovery and exacerbate comorbidities. Adequate nutrition is critical to recovery in this group, yet acute postoperative intake is poorly understood. M...

Inclined pullout performance of helical anchors for floating offshore wind turbines: A geometry-driven mechanism shift

Helical anchors serve as critical mooring foundations for floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) under complex inclined pullout loads. However, the effect of anchor geometric stiffness on the inclined load-bearing mechanism remains poorly understood. This study employs three-dim...

Evaluating collector behaviour in coarse particle flotation of copper ores

Most studies on collectors for copper flotation focus on conventional mechanical cells and fine particle sizes (<150 µm), leaving limited understanding of collector performance in coarse particle flotation. This study investigates the performance of four collector classes in the...

Quantitative single cell analysis of gold nanoparticle association across a mouse triple-negative breast cancer cell line and blood immune cell populations

In biomedical research, understanding the heterogeneity in nanoparticle association among different cell populations is crucial for translating to efficacy and immune identification. Using time-of-flight mass cytometry (CyTOF), we quantitatively assessed the association and distr...

Don’t judge a sperm by its cover

Male fertility is primarily assessed using descriptive semen parameters, such as sperm concentration, motility and morphology. These conventional parameters provide an initial assessment of male reproductive health and may explain why a couple is struggling to conceive; however,...

How non-market collaboration shapes stakeholders' wellbeing through climate-risk management strategies in emerging market B2B firms?

Climate change poses threats to stakeholders' wellbeing, defined as their satisfaction, value realisation, expectations, and retention with the firm. While research has established that enhancing stakeholders' wellbeing requires cross-sector collaboration, industrial marketing sc...

ANZTCT cytomegalovirus practice survey for allogeneic haemopoietic stem cell transplant and cellular therapy recipients in Australia and New Zealand

BACKGROUND: Despite pre-emptive treatment (PeT), cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease and reactivation remain a clinical concern. In Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), variability exists in the management of CMV for haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients. AIMS AND METH...

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...

Mendelian randomisation and colocalisation reveal pleiotropic effects of the CD40/SLC12A5 locus on CD40 protein, depression, and immune disease

Abstract Inflammatory pathways are implicated in depression, but the specific immune proteins and causal variants involved remain unclear. This study investigated potential causal relationships between 91 immune-related plasma proteins and depression using generalized summary Men...

Pediatric Functional Lung Imaging: A Scoping Review

Functional lung imaging enables pulmonary parameters, including ventilation, perfusion, gas exchange, and biomechanics, to be mapped and quantified noninvasively throughout the lungs. Pulmonary function testing is generally more difficult to perform in a child in comparison to an...

Beyond Behaviour: Exploring How Positive Behaviour Support Might Work for Autistic Children Within Australia's NDIS

ABSTRACT Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) endorsed‐behavioural intervention framework. Understanding how and why PBS is effective is critical, given the increasing number of autistic children accessing the NDIS. Guided by critica...

Customer-level factors associated with discretionary food and beverage purchasing in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community stores in remote Australia: a customer intercept survey of Healthy Stores 2020

Abstract Background Healthy Stores 2020 (HS2020), a 12-week randomised controlled trial conducted in partnership with an Aboriginal-owned retail organisation, reduced retailer merchandising and store-level purchases of unhealthy foods. Evidence on the influence of customer-level...

Predictive-comparative framework for construction cost control using long short-term memory and digital twin technologies

Fragmented project records and delayed validation hinder proactive cost control in construction. Yet current research offers limited guidance on converting inconsistent, lagged evidence into timely and auditable control signals, which can delay or complicate corrective action in...

Long-term type 2 diabetes risk prediction using machine learning with childhood, adolescent, and genetic factors

Abstract Late diagnosis of type 2 diabetes increases patient morbidity and healthcare burden, yet current prediction models use adult risk factors to estimate 5–10-year risk. In this manuscript, we evaluate long-term prediction of type 2 diabetes over 38 years using childhood fac...

Vancomycin optimised dosing regimens for critically ill patients receiving renal replacement therapy

Optimal dosing of vancomycin in critically ill patients receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT) is uncertain due to high pharmacokinetic variability. We aimed to develop individualised vancomycin dosing recommendations that optimise efficacy while minimising toxicity. Prospecti...

An audit of professional standards for sport science

Sport is a global industry with athletes supported by sport scientists who have gained the necessary education and experience. However, there is still great variety in the training and career development opportunities for novice and trainee sport scientists to develop their pract...

Aerosol and bioaerosol generation from toilet flushing: A systematic review and risk factor analysis

Toilet flushing is a daily activity that can generate bioaerosols in indoor spaces. This exposure pathway is increasingly important in the context of emerging pathogens, changing water systems, and high indoor occupancy. Stronger empirical evidence is needed to support risk-based...
