Anatomical compromise was stratified according to the photographic face width measurement. Results: A total of 348 subjects (163 Caucasians and 185 Chinese) were analysed. There was a significantly lower proportion of Chinese patients with moderate-severe OSA (AHI ⁥⁥≥ ⁥⁥⁥⁥15) who had a low ArTH (28.4% vs 48.8%, P = 0.004). This difference remained significant among those with severe OSA (AHI ≥ 30) (2.6% vs 17.1%, P = 0.02). The proportion of moderate-severe OSA Caucasians with a low ArTH was significantly less in those with severe anatomical compromise (36.6% vs 61.0%, P = 0.03), whereas there was no difference in Chinese patients (25.5% vs 31.5%, P = 0.49). Conclusion: Compared to Caucasians with severe OSA, a low respiratory ArTh appears to be a less common pathophysiological mechanism in Chinese patients. Caucasians with less severe anatomical compromise exhibit evidence of a lower ArTh, an association which is absent in Chinese patients. Our data suggest that OSA mechanisms may vary across racial groups.]]> Wed 24 Nov 2021 15:53:01 AEDT ]]> Exploring the risk factors for sudden infant deaths and their role in inflammatory responses to infection https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:28095 Wed 22 Mar 2023 16:25:11 AEDT ]]> Genetic and environmental factors affecting TNF-α responses in relation to sudden infant death syndrome https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:25573 Wed 22 Mar 2023 16:22:51 AEDT ]]> The role of infection and inflammation in stillbirths: parallels with SIDS? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:26369 Wed 22 Mar 2023 16:20:21 AEDT ]]> Virus infections and sudden death in infancy: the role of interferon-γ https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:27946 Wed 22 Mar 2023 16:18:01 AEDT ]]> Advancing food well-being in poverty through intersectionality https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:40706 Wed 13 Mar 2024 19:05:37 AEDT ]]> Social networking for firm growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana: a social skills and socio-cultural identity perspective https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:42957 Wed 13 Mar 2024 14:08:44 AEDT ]]> 'It is like school sometimes': friendship and sociality on university campuses and patterns of social inequality https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:42642 Wed 13 Mar 2024 09:23:42 AEDT ]]> Popular music and dance in urban Fiji: a divided cultural landscape https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:3708 Wed 11 Apr 2018 17:08:11 AEST ]]> "She doesn't choose to do well": an examination of the discursive constitution of academic underachievement https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:31086 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:12:40 AEST ]]> Dancing in the dust: a gendered history of indigenising Australian cultural identity https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:3247 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:22:56 AEST ]]> Engendering ethnicity: a comparison of German-Jewish travel writing https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:14743 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:34:30 AEST ]]> Relative strangers: a childhood memoir https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:22363 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:23:32 AEST ]]> The disenchantment of childhood: exploring the cultural and spatial boundaries of childhood in three Australian feature films, 1920s-1970s https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:3512 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:40:41 AEST ]]> Considering ethnicity in teaching and learning statistics: should I worry about where my students come from? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:1835 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:36:30 AEST ]]> Caring for people with dementia from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds in nursing homes: A scoping review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54367 Tue 20 Feb 2024 19:56:27 AEDT ]]> A case for not adjusting birthweight customized standards for ethnicity: observations from a unique Australian cohort https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:44624 P<.0001; with adjustment for infant sex and maternal body mass index). Indigenous mean birthweight percentile was 4.2 units lower (P<.0001). Adjustment for maternal age, smoking, body mass index, and infant sex reduced the difference in birthweight/percentiles to nonsignificance (12 g; P=.07). Conclusion: Disparities exist between indigenous and non-indigenous Australian infants for birthweight, birthweight percentile, and adverse outcome rates. Adjustment for smoking and maternal age removed any significant difference in birthweights and birthweight percentiles for indigenous infants. Our data indicate that birthweight percentiles should not be adjusted for indigenous ethnicity because this normalizes disadvantage; because White and indigenous Australians have diverged for approximately 50,000 years, it is likely that the same conclusions apply to other ethnic groups. The disparities in birthweight percentiles that are associated with smoking will likely perpetuate indigenous disadvantage into the future because low birthweight is linked to the development of chronic noncommunicable disease and poorer educational attainment; similar problems may affect other indigenous populations.]]> Tue 18 Oct 2022 11:09:49 AEDT ]]> Pakistan’s “Tribal” Pashtuns, Their “Violent” Representation, and the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:43780 Thu 29 Sep 2022 15:11:45 AEST ]]> Race and ethnicity https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:36200 Thu 27 Feb 2020 13:47:32 AEDT ]]> Unreliable allies: mapping the effects of whiteness in adult education https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:22497 Thu 22 Sep 2016 11:23:42 AEST ]]> Insanity and ethnicity in New Zealand: Māori encounters with the Auckland Mental Hospital, 1860-1900 https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:31784 mate Māori, and the sad outcomes for Māori.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:44:15 AEDT ]]> 'What do these words mean?': a qualitative approach to explore oral health literacy in Vietnamese immigrant mothers in Australia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:18242 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:04:32 AEDT ]]> From traditional carving to plastic Tiki: Maori struggles to balance commerce and culture within the global tourism marketplace, 1860-2010 https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:17543 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:03:57 AEDT ]]> Obesity and craniofacial structure as risk factors for obstructive sleep apnoea: impact of ethnicity https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:20279 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:59:54 AEDT ]]> Revisiting the substantiality criterion: from ethnic marketing to market segmentation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:17934 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:56:33 AEDT ]]> Mixed marriages in Jembrana, Bali: mediation and fragmentation of citizenship and identity in the post-bomb(s) Bali world https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:5089 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:48:48 AEDT ]]> Maternal vitamin D deficiency, ethnicity and gestational diabetes https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:4973 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:46:55 AEDT ]]> Cross-cultural issues in domestic ethnic marketing: an approach to address a research gap https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:6064 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:45:34 AEDT ]]> The politics of identity in organizational ethnographic research: ethnicity and tropicalist intrusions https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:27114 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:35 AEDT ]]> Culturally and linguistically diverse patients’ perspectives and experiences on medicines management in Australia: a systematic review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53885 Mon 22 Jan 2024 14:21:56 AEDT ]]> Sex Differences in the Attitudes of Australian and Indian Heterosexual Individuals toward Gay Men, Lesbians, Bisexual Men and Bisexual Women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:48910 Fri 14 Apr 2023 15:45:46 AEST ]]> East-West discourses in Transylvania: transitional erderly, German-Western siebenburgen or Latin-Western ardeal? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:16625 Fri 06 Apr 2018 10:55:10 AEST ]]>
