These interpreted themes mirror multiple layers of complex policing trauma in these participants that over time eroded hope. They reveal a growing awareness of moral injury that only found voice, postdischarge. Chronic exposure to policing trauma was experienced as a domino effect slowly diminishing self-worth and consequently corroding their earlier sense of purpose as police personnel. Intrinsically, shame was interpreted as having failed. Discharge dissociated them from the collegial support necessary to reintegrate into their postdischarge lives. Instead, former altruistic selves became reclusive. These participants attributed "felt" distress as directly attributable to organizational factors that left them feeling invalidated, betrayed, and without support. Over time, some experienced a newfound appreciation of "self", facilitated by hope.

For example, [forumal cannot be replicated]. By a recent result of Livinskyi, d²/h1/2 → 0 as n → 8, so the second bound is close to (πe/2)-d/2 for large n. Previous lower bounds tended to zero as n → ∞ with d fixed, except in the cases d ∈ {0, 1}. For d ≥ 2, our bounds are better for all sufficiently large n. If the Hadamard conjecture is true, then d ≤ 3, so the first bound above shows that R(n) is bounded below by a positive constant (πe/2)-3/2 > 0.1133.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:30:42 AEST ]]> Introductory programming: examining the exams https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:23938 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:25:37 AEST ]]> Understanding creative design processes by integrating sketching and cad modelling design environments: a preliminary protocol result from architectural designers https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:25526 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:44:35 AEST ]]> From paratext to epitext: mapping the authorial apparatus in early modern women's writing https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:21325 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:39:00 AEST ]]> Evaluation for effective web communication: an Australian example https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:3738 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:28:16 AEST ]]> Expression of adrenoceptor subtypes in preterm piglet heart is different to term heart https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:16611 0.001). Trends in receptor binding site density measurements supported this observation (P = 0.07). Glucocorticoid exposure increased β₁-adrenoceptor mRNA levels in the right ventricle of preterm hearts (P = 0.008) but did not alter expression in the left ventricle (P>0.1). Relative abundance of a1A-adrenoceptor mRNA was the same in preterm and term piglet hearts (P = >0.1) but was reduced by maternal glucocorticoid treatment (P<0.01); a2A-adrenoceptor mRNA abundance was higher in untreated and glucocorticoid exposed preterm piglet hearts than in term piglets (P<0.001). There was no difference between male and female piglets in mRNA abundance of any of the genes studied. In conclusion, there is reduced mRNA abundance of β₁-adrenoceptors in the preterm pig heart.

FANCM, which encodes for a DNA translocase, has been proposed as a breast cancer predisposition gene, with greater effects for the ER-negative and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) subtypes. We tested the three recurrent protein-truncating variants FANCM:p.Arg658*, p.Gln1701*, and p.Arg1931* for association with breast cancer risk in 67,112 cases, 53,766 controls, and 26,662 carriers of pathogenic variants of BRCA1 or BRCA2. These three variants were also studied functionally by measuring survival and chromosome fragility in FANCM−/− patient-derived immortalized fibroblasts treated with diepoxybutane or olaparib. We observed that FANCM:p.Arg658* was associated with increased risk of ER-negative disease and TNBC (OR = 2.44, P = 0.034 and OR = 3.79; P = 0.009, respectively). In a country-restricted analysis, we confirmed the associations detected for FANCM:p.Arg658* and found that also FANCM:p.Arg1931* was associated with ER-negative breast cancer risk (OR = 1.96; P = 0.006). The functional results indicated that all three variants were deleterious affecting cell survival and chromosome stability with FANCM:p.Arg658* causing more severe phenotypes. In conclusion, we confirmed that the two rare FANCM deleterious variants p.Arg658* and p.Arg1931* are risk factors for ER-negative and TNBC subtypes. Overall our data suggest that the effect of truncating variants on breast cancer risk may depend on their position in the gene.

Outcomes: The effect of admission eGFR on the primary outcome of death or major disability at 90 days (defined as modified Rankin Scale scores of 3-6) was analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Potential effect modification of intensive BP lowering treatment by admission eGFR was assessed by interaction terms. Results: Of 2,623 included participants, 912 (35%) and 280 (11%) had mildly and moderately/severely decreased eGFRs, respectively. Patients with moderately/severely decreased eGFRs had the greatest risk for death or major disability at 90 days (adjusted OR, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.28-2.61). Effects of early intensive BP lowering were consistent across different eGFRs (P = 0.5 for homogeneity). Limitations: Generalizability issues arising from a clinical trial population. Conclusions: Decreased eGFR predicts poor outcome in acute ICH. Early intensive BP lowering provides similar treatment effects in patients with ICH with decreased eGFRs.]]> Thu 09 Dec 2021 11:03:39 AEDT ]]> Polygenic risk scores for prediction of breast cancer and breast cancer subtypes https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46914 Thu 08 Dec 2022 08:47:20 AEDT ]]> A study of the flora of the National Parks Authority controlled and managed Saltwater National Park and Khappinghat Reserve https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:21628 Thu 06 Dec 2018 13:21:55 AEDT ]]> Loving and Hating Mathematics by Reuben Hersh & Vera John-Steiner (book review) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:11718 Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:31:22 AEDT ]]> Synthesis of meaning: negative and positive change in family members following the adversity of dementia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:23846 Synthesis of Meaning emerged from the data using interpretative phenomenological analysis.

Validation came in witnessing a redefining of intimacy in many families who were able to embrace that holistic and empathic approach to the shifting presentation of dementia. Psychological well-being was observed to occur when families embraced growthful domains, e.g. acceptance, hope, relational closeness and altruistic concern for other families.

Meta-analysis found interventions involving task shifting were effective in increasing smoking ‘advice’ (n = 2 RCTs; p = 0.009) and physical activity ‘advice’ (n = 2 RCTs; p = 0.002). Overall, meta-analysis and narrative synthesis indicated that effective intervention strategies (categorised according to the Effective Practice and Organisation of Care taxonomy) were: task shifting, educational meetings, health information systems, local consensus processes, authority and accountability, and reminders. The most consistent findings across studies were with regard to preventive care for smoking, while conflicting or limited evidence was found regarding other risk behaviours. While further rigorous research examining key risk behaviours is recommended, the findings may inform the selection of strategies for future interventions and service delivery initiatives.]]> Fri 07 Aug 2020 13:25:37 AEST ]]>
