Functional annotation of the vlinc class of non-coding RNAs using systems biology approach

We show that vlincRNAs genes likely function in cis to activate nearby genes

Research

The genetic associations of acute anterior uveitis and their overlap with the genetics of ankylosing spondylitis

These findings also suggest that variants in ERAP1 have a differential impact on the risk of AAU when compared with AS, and hence the genetic risk for AAU...

Research

Western environment/lifestyle is associated with increased genome methylation and decreased gene expression in Chinese immigrants living in Australia

Chinese immigrants living in Australia for a longer period of time have increased overall genome methylation and decreased overall gene expression

Research

Predominant bacteria detected from the middle ear fluid of children experiencing otitis media: A systematic review

Globally, S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae remain the predominant otopathogens associated with OM as identified through bacterial culture

Research

A randomized controlled trial of the effects of n-3 fatty acids on resolvins in chronic kidney disease

Specialized Proresolving Lipid Mediators are increased after 8 weeks n-3 fatty acid supplementation in patients with chronic kidney disease

Research

Interobserver reliability of the Australian Spasticity Assessment Scale (ASAS)

The Australian Spasticity Assessment Scale complies with the definition of spasticity and is clinically feasible in paediatric settings

Research

Otitis-prone children produce functional antibodies to pneumolysin and pneumococcal polysaccharides

The production of functional antipneumococcal antibodies in otitisprone children demonstrates that they respond to the current pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV)and are likely to respond to pneumolysin-based vaccines as effectively as healthy children.

Research

Self-harm: Prevalence estimates from the second Australian Child and Adolescent Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing

The demonstrated higher risks in young people for continued harm or possible death support the need for ongoing initiatives to reduce self-harm

Research

A Genome-Wide Association Meta-Analysis of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Symptoms in Population-Based Pediatric Cohorts

The SNP-based heritability for ADHD symptom scores indicates a polygenic architecture, and genes involved in neurite outgrowth are possibly involved
