OBJECTIVES To describe antibiotic use for treatment of Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) at an urban sexual health centre in Australia. To describe MG positivity rates in those returning for 1 month test of cure (TOC) following first-line antibiotic treatment for MG. METHODS Retrospective cross-sectional case-note review for all patients diagnosed with MG at Sydney Sexual Health Centre from 2009 to ...

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES Many continuing education (CE) resources are available to support case management professionals in developing competencies in transitions of care (TOC) that apply generally across disease areas. However, CE programs and tools are lacking for advanced TOC competencies in specific disease areas. This article describes 2 projects in which leading TOC, case management, and CE org...

(1-4). These facts suggest that vitamin E may affect not only on blood coagulation but also on the platelet function. Recently, we found that ƒ¿-tocopheryl ace tate (referred as Toc-ac) inhibited time depen dant decrease of platelet number in the preser ved blood with EDTA-K2 as anticoagulant (5). In the present paper, the effect of Toc ac and ƒ¿-tocopheryl acetophosphate (Toc-acp) on the ADP i...

BACKGROUND In Australia, women who give birth are transitioned from maternity services to child and health services once their baby is born. This horizontal integration of services is known as Transition of Care (ToC). Little is known of the scope and processes of ToC for new mothers and the most effective way to provide continuity of services. The aim of this paper is to explore and describe t...

Hydrothermal oxidation (HTO) provides an efficient technique to completely destroy wet organic wastes. In this study, HTO was applied to treat fecal sludge at well-defined experimental conditions. Four different kinetic models were adjusted to the obtained data. Among others, a distributed activation energy model (DAEM) was applied. A total of 33 experiments were carried out in an unstirred bat...

Patients with Alzheimer's disease have category-specific semantic memory difficulty for natural relative to manufactured objects. We assessed the basis for this deficit by asking healthy adults and patients to judge whether pairs of words share a feature (e.g. "banana:lemon-COLOR"). In an fMRI study, healthy adults showed gray matter (GM) activation of temporal-occipital cortex (TOC) where visu...

Introduction: The removal of organic precursors of disinfection byproducts (DBPs), i.e. natural organic matter (NOM), prior to disinfection is considered as the most effective approach to minimise the formation of DBPs. Trihalomethanes (THMs) as the main group of DBPs are categorized and considered to have the potentiality of increasing the rate of liver, kidney and CNS adverse effects. Methods...

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance and utility of (99m)Tc HYNIC-TOC planar scintigraphy and SPECT/CT in the diagnosis, staging and management of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GPNETs). METHODS 22 patients (median age, 46 years) with histologically proven gastro- entero- pancreatic NETs underwent (99m)Tc HYNIC-TOC whole body scintigraphy and r...
