Population-level Epidemiological Trends In Hepatocellular Carcinoma In Queensland 1996 - 2010.
Funder

Funding Amount
$251,695.00
Summary
Incidence and mortality of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, the most common form of liver cancer) is increasing in Australia, driven by viral hepatitis infections. Disease burden is not defined in Queensland, particularly for Indigenous, migrant and regional and remote communities. Such factors may influence risk of viral hepatitis, access to treatment, and incidence and survival of HCC. Defining disease burdens will enable clinical programs targeted at groups most at risk in order to impact HCC t ....Incidence and mortality of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, the most common form of liver cancer) is increasing in Australia, driven by viral hepatitis infections.

Improving Nurse-administered Sedation Practice In The Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratory
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$320,891.00
Summary
This research will provide evidence to inform nursing management of the potentially life-threatening complications that are associated with the administration of sedation in the cardiac catheterisation laboratory. Three studies will be conducted: an investigation of the prevalence and risk factors of hypothermia after sedation; a randomised controlled trial of active warming to prevent hypothermia; and a study to determine whether audit and feedback improves patient safety during sedation.

Summary
Sleep is significant for young children’s health and development and impacts on family functioning. Increasingly childcare is part of the young child’s sleep environment. This study focuses on the role of childcare in supporting sleep health and identifying sleep, and associated behavioural problems, in the early years of life. The study responds to the policy, practice and legislative demand for evidence to guide appropriate provision for sleep and rest in the childcare context.
Interventions To Improve Outcomes For Young Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander People In Sexually Transmissible Infections Blood Borne Viruses And For People Using Methamphetamines
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$318,768.00
Summary
This ECF will enable research to be carried out in the domains of sexually transmissible infections (STI) and blood borne viruses (BBV) and specifically methamphetamine (MA) use in Aboriginal communities nationally. Specific research outcomes will be the establishment of an Aboriginal primary health care and behavioural surveillance network for STIs/BBVs in nationally dispersed clinical hubs (CRE), and an improved understanding of interventions to address MA in Aboriginal communities.
