Health service utilisation for acute respiratory infections in infants graduating from the neonatal intensive care unit: a population-based cohort study

Despite advances in neonatal intensive care, babies admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) suffer from adverse outcomes. We aim to describe the longer-term respiratory infectious morbidity of infants discharged from NICU using state-wide population-based linked data in Western Australia.

Potential for molecular testing for group a streptococcus to improve diagnosis and management in a high-risk population: A prospective study

Implementation of molecular testing could improve antibiotic use in this high-burden setting

The health effects of electronic cigarettes

Level of purposeful hand function as a marker of clinical severity in Rett syndrome

We developed a measure of hand function, and then investigated relationships between hand function, type of MECP2 mutation, age and severity of symptoms.

Researchers uncover the hidden wonder of cells

Researchers from The Kids Research Institute Australia and The University of Western Australia have developed a new technique to see inside cells with unprecedented detail, revealing a complicated web of interactions that provides new insights into how cells stay healthy.

Precision health accelerator takes some of the guesswork out of research

Running any research project is a feat of logistical gymnastics – and often, you don’t know what can go wrong until it happens.

Determinants of sleep disturbances in Rett syndrome

Novel findings in relation to genotype

TLR2 mediates recognition of live staphylococus epidermidis

Staphylococcus epidermidis is a nosocomial pathogen that causes catheter-associated bacteremia in the immunocompromised, including those at the extremes of age

Early determinants of fractures in Rett syndrome

We wanted to compare the frequency of fracture episodes, and factors associated with a fracture, in females with Rett syndrome, compared to general population.

Effect of early carriage of streptococcus pneumoniae on the development of pneumococcal protein-specific cellular immune responses in infancy

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between nasopharyngeal pneumococcal colonization in early life and the development of T cell responses.
