Abstract:

Background: Investigators are often interested in using population-level health administrative data in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients to study disease outcomes, risk factors and treatment effects to enhance knowledge, shape clinical practice and influence health care policy. A major limitation of using health administrative data for these purposes is the lack of detailed clinical data to adjust for the confounding effects of differential disease severity on observed associations. Methods to account for disease severity using administrative variables would offer a major advance to po

Abstract:

The overall aim of this thesis was to study epidemiological and clinical changes in the natural history of Crohn’s disease, its phenotype, the need for surgery and pharmacological therapy over time, as well as the role of faecal calprotectin as a biomarker of pathophysiology and disease course. An increased incidence and prevalence of Crohn’s disease was seen in the period 1963-2010. The proportion of patients with non-stricturing, non-penetrating disease behaviour at diagnosis increased, suggesting that either patients with Crohn’s disease are diagnosed earlier in their disease course today o

Abstract:

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a rapid and fatal neurodegenerative disease marked by progressive muscle weakness and wasting. Approximately 50% of people with ALS experience changes in cognition and behaviour. Previous research has been mixed as to whether cognition declines over the course of ALS, or whether it is related to proxies of disease progression (e.g., functional disability scales). However, this research has suffered from limitations including the use of inappropriate measures of cognition, imprecise measures of disease progression, high attrition, practice effects, and bia

Abstract:

Background: Identifying Crohn’s disease recurrence in symptomatic patients after ileocaecal resection is difficult as symptoms may reflect the effect of surgery rather than active disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate faecal concentrations of granulocyte degradation products (faecal calprotectin and faecal lactoferrin) in this post-operative setting. Methods: A post-operative cohort of 104 patients (median follow up of 24 months) provided a single stool sample.

Abstract:

Neuropsychiatric disorders represent an immense global health and economic burden, and identifying genetic and environmental factors contributing to these diseases is a key challenge in contemporary biomedical research. Efforts to identify genetic variation associated with disease risk have had some notable success, however the proportion of variance in disease explained by known genetic risk variants is limited. There is increasing evidence for epigenetic dysregulation in neuropsychiatric disease, with regulatory variation potentially induced by psychosocial and environmental risk factors ass

Abstract:

Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that attacks the CNS. The immune attack on the CNS cause the damage of a substance, called myelin, which surrounds and protects the nerve fibres. MS is one of the most common causes of neurological disability in young adults. It is well established that axonal injury is a feature of multiple sclerosis (Charcot JM, 1880), that the extent of axonal injury is correlated with the degree of inflammation (Trapp BD, 1998) at least in relapsing multiple sclerosis, and that a close association between inflammation and neurodege

Abstract:

Although typical clinical onset does not occur until adulthood, cardiovascular disease (CVD) may have a long natural history with accumulation of risks beginning in early life and continuing through childhood and into adolescence and adulthood. Therefore, it is important to adopt a life-course approach to explore accumulation of risks, as well as identifying age-defined windows of susceptibility, from early life to disease onset. This thesis examines characteristics in adolescence and adulthood linked with subsequent risk of CVD. One area is concerned with physical and psychological characteri

For over a century, there have been suggestions of a link between what is currently called bipolar disorder and cardiovascular mortality. In the contemporary epidemiological literature, this risk has been confirmed and approximates twice that expected based on age and gender. To date, however, this information has come primarily from clinical samples, which carry considerable risk of selection bias. The studies contained in this dissertation sought to assess this relationship using methods less vulnerable to selection bias and to determine the role that course of illness and treatments for ill

Among these, increased physical activity, healthier food choices, more cognitive stimulation, better sleep quality, stress management, and social engagement have been identified as reasonable targets for behavioral inter

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a fatal disorder with no apparent cure. Early-onset AD (EOAD) occurs in individuals before the age of 65, and late-onset AD (LOAD) occurs in individuals age 65 and older.

The disease is characterized by impairments in memory and executive function as well as other cognitive and behavioral problems.

People with Down’s syndrome (DS) are known to be at very high risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in middle-age. Recent research has suggested that the early presentation of dementia in this population may differ from the typical of AD in the general population, with the majority of the earliest changes occurring in personality or behaviour rather than in memory. The similarity of this clinical picture to that of Frontal Type Dementia (FTD) has led to the hypothesis that the functions of the frontal lobes are compromised early in the progression of AD in DS, perhaps as a consequence of

The thesis explores the complexities of primary health care in a setting characterised as being both isolated and remote, and in the process identifies factors critical for developing successful PHC programs in such settings and more broadly. The four questions underpinning the study are 1) is a PHC approach relevant to the chosen small remote Australian community; 2) to what extent was a PHC approach being implemented; 3) what are the barriers and enablers to developing and implementing a PHC approach; and 4) what are the crucial factors for PHC programs in similar communities.

Abstract:

Each year approximately 600 000 infants, most of them in Sub-Saharan Africa are born with HIV infection as a result of mother to child transmission of HIV. Whereas significant progress has been made in reduction of mother to child transmission of HIV in developed countries, the situation remains desperate in developing countries. Progress has been hampered by shortage of staff, facilities, limited access to voluntary counselling and testing and lack of support for women by their partners and communities. The challenge is to increase voluntary counselling and testing uptake during antenatal car
