PrEggNut Study: protocol for a randomised controlled trial investigating the effect of a maternal diet rich in eggs and peanuts from <23 weeks' gestation during pregnancy to 4 months' lactation on infant IgE-mediated egg and peanut allergy outcomesClinical studies supported by immunological data indicate early life intervention strategies to be promising in reducing the growing global burden of food allergies. The events that predispose to food allergy, including the induction of allergen-specific immune responses, appear to be initiated early in development.
Research
Reference exome data for a Northern Brazilian populationExome sequencing is widely used in the diagnosis of rare genetic diseases and provides useful variant data for analysis of complex diseases. There is not always adequate population-specific reference data to assist in assigning a diagnostic variant to a specific clinical condition.

Gain of chromosome 21 in hematological malignancies: lessons from studying leukemia in children with Down syndromeStructural and numerical alterations of chromosome 21 are extremely common in hematological malignancies. While the functional impact of chimeric transcripts from fused chromosome 21 genes such as TEL-AML1, AML1-ETO, or FUS-ERG have been extensively studied, the role of gain of chromosome 21 remains largely unknown.

Associations Between Developmental Risk Profiles, Mental Disorders, and Student Absences Among Primary and Secondary Students in AustraliaThis study assessed if the association between mental disorders and higher student absences varies across different profiles of risk factors, and estimated the proportion of student absences associated with mental disorders. Data included responses from a nationally representative Australian survey of child and adolescent mental health.
Research
Anti-Müllerian hormone concentration is associated with central adiposity and reproductive hormones in expectant fathersThe role of the anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) as an indicator of physical and reproductive health in men is unclear. We assessed the relationships between AMH and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone, and metabolic parameters, in a cohort of expectant fathers.
Research
Effects of Ser47-Point Mutation on Conformation Structure and Allergenicity of the Allergen of Der p 2, a Major House Dust Mite AllergenThe mutant Der p 2 had altered structure and reduced ability to stimulate pro-inflammatory responses and to bind IgE
Research
Bullying and mental health amongst Australian children and young people with cystic fibrosisThis study describes the peer bullying experiences of young people with CF, and examines associations between school bullying and the psychological well-being of these young people
Research
Direct infant UV light exposure is associated with eczema and immune developmentThis study is the first to demonstrate an association between greater direct UV light exposures in early infancy with lower incidence of eczema
Research
Using record linkage to validate notification and laboratory data for a more accurate assessment of notifiable infectious diseasesStudies investigating pathogen-specific infectious disease would benefit from using multiple data sources.
Research
Using record linkage to examine testing patterns for respiratory viruses among children born in Western AustraliaUsing linked data, we describe changes in respiratory virus testing among children born in Western Australia in 1996-2012
