Medical oncology clinics through videoconferencing: an acceptable telehealth model for rural patients and health workers
Internal Medicine Journal - Tập 42 Số 7 - Trang 780-785 - 2012
AbstractBackground: Since 2007, Townsville Cancer Centre (Queensland,
Australia) has provided routine and urgent medical oncology services to rural
and remote communities through videoconferencing. At remote sites, patients were
accompanied by doctors and other health workers. The aim of this study was to
describe satisfaction of patients and rural health workers with this model of
teleoncology.M...
Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis in scleroderma‐related conditions
Internal Medicine Journal - Tập 42 Số 3 - Trang 323-329 - 2012
AbstractAims: Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) is a rare
life‐threatening gastrointestinal complication in the course of connective
tissue disease (CTD). PCI is characterised by the appearance of intramural
clusters of gas in the small and large bowel wall on X‐ray or computed
tomography and often is accompanied by free air in the peritoneal
cavity.Methods: We present three cases of PCI ...
Prolonged seated immobility at work is a common risk factor for venous thromboembolism leading to hospital admission
Internal Medicine Journal - Tập 38 Số 2 - Trang 133-135 - 2008
AbstractThe role of seated immobility at work in the pathogenesis of venous
thromboembolism (VTE) is uncertain. In this case series, 61 patients aged
<65 years with a recent admission for deep venous thrombosis and/or pulmonary
embolism completed an interviewer‐administered questionnaire to obtain
information regarding risk factors. Prolonged seated immobility at work in the
4 weeks before the VTE...
Post‐mortem drug concentrations
Internal Medicine Journal - Tập 40 Số 3 - Trang 183-187 - 2010
AbstractConsiderable changes occur in the concentrations of numerous drugs after
death. Some concentrations increase, others fall and some do not change. Active
agents, such as gamma hydroxybutyrate and alcohol, may be synthesized in the
deceased body. Many published tables contain lists of therapeutic, toxic and
lethal concentrations that are misleading. While the process of post‐mortem
redistrib...
Efficacy of non‐invasive mechanical ventilation in the general ward in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease admitted for hypercapnic acute respiratory failure and pH < 7.35: a feasibility pilot study
Internal Medicine Journal - Tập 45 Số 5 - Trang 527-537 - 2015
AbstractAimTo date non‐invasive (NIV) mechanical ventilation use is not
recommended in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with acute
respiratory failure (ARF) and pH < 7.30 outside a ‘protected environment’. We
assessed NIV efficacy and feasibility in improving arterial blood gases (ABG)
and in‐hospital outcome in patients with ARF and severe respiratory acidosis
(RA) admitted t...
Healthcare burden of in‐hospital gout
Internal Medicine Journal - Tập 42 Số 11 - Trang 1261-1263 - 2012
AbstractThe disease burden of inpatient gout has not been reported. Using a
discharge diagnosis database and individual case record review, 77 patients who
developed acute gout complicating a hospital admission for another reason were
identified between January 2001 and April 2010 at The Townsville Hospital. A
control group of 28 301 cases with identical principal diagnoses were similarly
ascertai...
Access to a youth‐specific service for young adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus is associated with decreased hospital length of stay for diabetic ketoacidosis
Internal Medicine Journal - Tập 48 Số 4 - Trang 396-402 - 2018
AbstractBackgroundManagement of type 1 diabetes mellitus in youth with diabetes
(YWD) is complex, and glycaemic control often deteriorates during this
challenging period. We hypothesise that attendance at a youth‐specific diabetes
clinic reduces hospital admission rates and length of stay (LOS) for diabetic
ketoacidosis (DKA).AimsTo assess the impact of a youth‐specific diabetes service
for YWD on...
Body mass index determines sunbathing habits: implications on vitamin D levels
Internal Medicine Journal - Tập 39 Số 4 - Trang 256-258 - 2009
AbstractVitamin D is crucial for calcium and bone metabolism. Overweight people
have been found to have lower levels of this vitamin. The aim of the paper was
to test if sun exposure habits might differ according to weight and body fat per
cent in a random population‐based sample, and have an impact on vitamin D
levels. The analysis of 367 persons showed that, among other established
factors, diff...
Acute arthritis: predictive factors and current practice in the approach to diagnosis and management across two hospitals in Sydney
Internal Medicine Journal - Tập 48 Số 9 - Trang 1087-1095 - 2018
AbstractBackgroundLiterature pertaining to the predictive factors for septic
arthritis is limited.AimsThe primary objective was to investigate the predictive
factors for septic arthritis. The secondary objectives were to investigate the
predictive factors for crystal arthritis and to explore current practices in the
management of acute arthritis.MethodsA retrospective analysis was undertaken.

Risk factors for symptomatic hyponatraemia: the role of pre‐existing asymptomatic hyponatraemia
Internal Medicine Journal - Tập 37 Số 3 - Trang 149-155 - 2007
AbstractBackground: Hyponatraemia is associated with substantial morbidity and
mortality. Identification of the risk factors associated with the development of
symptomatic hyponatraemia is important in determining preventive
strategies.Methods: A retrospective analysis of the risks factors associated
with the development of severe, symptomatic hyponatraemia requiring hospital
admission over the pa...
