Examining the pathways of perinatal maternal mental health that influence child mental health outcomes.

Resources

Access world-leading evidence from Australia’s largest longitudinal birth cohort study, uncovering how early environments influence the development of chronic disease across a generation.

ORIGINS Vision Study

This study is aiming to investigate how sun exposure and time outside impacts the health of your child’s eye and eye growth, over a period of rapid growth in their lives.

The Mediterranean Diet

This study aims to examine how a Mediterranean diet and exercise in pregnancy impacts on neonatal body fat composition at birth and weight at one year of age.

Perinatal Trauma

This project examines the impact of perinatal dissociation and birth trauma on mothers' and infants' wellbeing during the first two years of life.

Azithromycin inhibits mucin secretion, mucous metaplasia, airway inflammation, and airways hyperresponsiveness in mice exposed to house dust mite extract

Excessive production, secretion, and retention of abnormal mucus is a pathological feature of many obstructive airways diseases including asthma. Azithromycin is an antibiotic that also possesses immunomodulatory and mucoregulatory activities, which may contribute to the clinical effectiveness of azithromycin in asthma.

A randomised controlled trial of a novel tramadol chewable tablet: pharmacokinetics and tolerability in children

Tramadol is a bitter atypical opioid analgesic drug and is prescribed to treat postoperative pain in children. However, in many countries there is no licensed paediatric tramadol formulation available. We have formulated a novel chewable chocolate-based drug delivery system for the administration of tramadol to children.

Penicillin allergy SHACK: Survey of hospital and community knowledge

Penicillin allergy accounts for the majority of all reported adverse drug reactions in adults and children. Foregoing first-line antibiotic therapy due to penicillin allergy label is associated with an increased prevalence of infections by resistant organisms and longer hospitalisation.

Placental Transcription Profiling in 6–23 Weeks’ Gestation Reveals Differential Transcript Usage in Early Development

The human placenta is a rapidly developing transient organ that is key to pregnancy success. Early development of the conceptus occurs in a low oxygen environment before oxygenated maternal blood begins to flow into the placenta at ~10–12 weeks’ gestation. This process is likely to substantially affect overall placental gene expression. Transcript variability underlying gene expression has yet to be profiled.
