Balancing Harvest and Habitat: A Framework for the Sustainable Management of Diadromous GalaxiidsNARA Subscribed
Managing New Zealand's diadromous Galaxias species and the associated whitebait fishery presents a complex challenge due to species‐specific differences in life‐history strategies, habitat requirements, and population dynamics that underpin responses to anthropogenic and environmental pressures. Consequently, effective management must balance the distinct vulnerabilities and dependencies of each species to ensure long‐term sus...
Australia has one of the highest incidences of shark bites worldwide. Previous research on sharks has detected antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria in the oral cavity, however, no such research has been conducted on species found in Australasian waters. In this study, 197 bacterial isolates were obtained from oral swabs taken from 153 sharks, including white ( Carcharodon carcharias ), tiger ( Galeocerdo cuvier ) and bull...
Low-temperature vacuum evaporation as a novel dehydration process for the long-term preservation of transplantable human corneal tissueNARA Subscribed
Globally there is a shortage of available donor corneas with only 1 cornea available for every 70 needed. A large limitation to corneal transplant surgery is access to quality donor tissue due to inadequate eye donation services and infrastructure in many countries, compounded by the fact that there are few available long-term storage solutions for effectively preserving spare donor corneas collected in countries with a surplu...
Single-dose pharmacokinetics and lung function of nebulized niclosamide ethanolamine in sheepNARA Subscribed
Purpose Niclosamide is approved as an oral anthelminthic, but its low oral bioavailability hinders its medical use requiring high drug exposure outside the gastrointestinal tract. An optimized solution of niclosamide for nebulization and intranasal administration using the ethanolamine salt has been developed and tested in a Phase 1 trial. In this study we investigate the pulmonary exposure of niclosamide following administrat...
Headache is one of the commonest complaints that doctors need to address in clinical settings. The genetic mechanisms of different types of headache are not well understood while it has been suggested that self-reported headache and self-reported migraine were genetically correlated. In this study, we performed a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on the self-reported headache phenotype from the UK Biobank...
On-Field Deployment and Validation for Wearable DevicesNARA Subscribed
Wearable sensors are an important tool in the study of head acceleration events and head impact injuries in sporting and military activities. Recent advances in sensor technology have improved our understanding of head kinematics during on-field activities; however, proper utilization and interpretation of data from wearable devices requires careful implementation of best practices. The objective of this paper is to summarize...
Consensus Head Acceleration Measurement Practices (CHAMP): Origins, Methods, Transparency and DisclosureNARA Subscribed
The use of head kinematic measurement devices has recently proliferated owing to technology advances that make such measurement more feasible. In parallel, demand to understand the biomechanics of head impacts and injury in sports and the military has increased as the burden of such loading on the brain has received focused attention. As a result, the field has matured to the point of needing methodological guidelines to impro...
Severe tropical cyclones over southwest Pacific Islands: economic impacts and implications for disaster risk managementNARA Subscribed
Tropical cyclones (TCs) are amongst the costliest natural hazards for southwest Pacific (SWP) Island nations. Extreme winds coupled with heavy rainfall and related coastal hazards, such as large waves and high seas, can have devastating consequences for life and property. Effects of anthropogenic climate change are likely to make TCs even more destructive in the SWP (as that observed particularly over Fiji) and elsewhere aroun...
Globally, the bycatch of marine mammals in fisheries represents the greatest source of human-caused mortality that threatens the sustainability of many populations and species. The Australian sea lion ( Neophoca cinerea ) is an endangered species, whose populations off South Australia (SA) have been subject to bycatch in a demersal gillnet fishery targeting sharks since the 1960s. A comprehensive assessment was undertaken of s...
The Australian fur seal ( Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus ) has experienced a slower than expected population recovery since the end of the commercial sealing era, with a high third trimester abortion rate. There is currently no known proximate cause. Coxiella burnetii ( Cb ) is a well-known cause of abortion in domestic and wildlife species and an important zoonotic pathogen. It has been recorded from a small number of north...
Association between APOE e4 and white matter hyperintensity volume, but not total brain volume or white matter integrityNARA Subscribed
Apolipoprotein ( APOE ) e4 genotype is an accepted risk factor for accelerated cognitive aging and dementia, though its neurostructural substrates are unclear. The deleterious effects of this genotype on brain structure may increase in magnitude into older age. This study aimed to investigate in UK Biobank the association between APOE e4 allele presence vs. absence and brain imaging variables that have been associated with wor...
Evaluating the implementation of cervical cancer screening programs in low-resource settings globally: a systematized reviewNARA Subscribed
Purpose Cervical cancer disproportionately burdens low-resource populations where access to quality screening services is limited. A greater understanding of sustainable approaches to implement cervical cancer screening services is needed. Methods We conducted a systematized literature review of evaluations from cervical cancer screening programs implemented in resource-limited settings globally that included a formal evaluati...
