Investigating genotype-phenotype relationships in Rett syndrome using an international data set

This study uses data from a large international database, InterRett, to examine genotype-phenotype relationships and compares these with previous findings in...

Infection is the major component of the disease burden in Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australian children: a population-based study

Infection accounts for the majority of pediatric mortality and morbidity in developing countries, but there are limited data on the infectious diseases...

Correlation between clinical severity in patients with Rett syndrome

Rett syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked dominant neurodevelopmental disorder that is usually associated with mutations in the MECP2 gene.

Interpretation of recent sudden infant death syndrome rates in Western Australia

Data for recent years show a shift away from a classification of 'SIDS' towards a classification of 'unascertainable', particularly for Aboriginal infants.

Predictors of seizure onset in Rett syndrome

Information on presence and age at onset of seizures, perinatal and developmental history, and genetic status was abstracted on 275 cases in the Australian...

Heritable and environmental determinants of hospitalisation for common childhood illnesses

We will leverage the unique Western Australian data linkage resources to undertake the definitive twin and sibling study of infection-related hospitalisation

A differentiated nasal epithelial cell model derived from children with acute wheeze and asthma

The airway epithelium is the primary structural and functional airway barrier and orchestrates innate immunity. Some children may have underlying epithelial vulnerabilities that contribute to the pathogenesis of acute wheeze and asthma.

Mapping facility-based tuberculosis preventive treatment provision in Ethiopia: a geospatial analysis

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health challenge in Ethiopia, despite being a preventable disease. TB preventive treatment (TPT) is a critical intervention to prevent the progression from latent TB infection to active disease, particularly among household contacts of TB patients and people living with HIV due to weakened immunity. However, the initiation and completion rates of TPT at subnational and local levels have not been thoroughly investigated. This study aims to map facility-based TPT initiation and completion rates among household contacts of TB across Ethiopia.
