Comparisons arising from the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS) 1991 ± 1994 RK Woods1*, M Abramson1, M Bailey1 and EH Walters2 on behalf of the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS) 1Departments of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine, Monash Medical School, The Alfred Hospital, Prahran, Victoria, Australia; and 2Department of Respiratory Medicine, Monash Medical School, The Alfred Hospital, Prahran, Victoria, Australia Objective: The aim of this study was to report the prevalence, type and reported symptoms associated with food intolerance. Design: A cross-sectional epidemiological study involving 15 countries using standardized methodology. Participants answered a detailed interviewer-administered questionnaire and took part in blood, lung function and skin prick tests to common aeroallergens. Setting: Randomly selected adults who took part in the second phase of the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS). Subjects: The subjects were 17 280 adults aged 20 ± 44 y. Results: Twelve percent of respondents reported food allergy=intolerance (range 4.6% in Spain to 19.1% in Australia). Atopic females who had wheezed in the past 12 months, ever had asthma or were currently taking oral asthma medications were signi®cantly more likely to report food allergy=intolerance. Participants from Scandi- navia or Germany were signi®cantly more likely than those from Spain to report food allergy=intolerance. Respondents who reported breathlessness as a food-related symptom were more likely to have wheezed in the past 12 months, to have asthma, use oral asthma medications, be atopic, have bronchial hyperreactivity, be older and reside in Scandinavia.

The overlay shows isolates cultured from inflamed mucosal samples (red bars), isolates classified as a putative novel species (black bars), the site of biopsy in the colon (shades of brown), and the intensity of inflammatory gene activation, in relation to the 12 genes investigated (shades of yellow and red), being IL6, IL8, IL12, IL17A, IL17F, IL23, CXCL10, TNF-a, STAT3, EPCAM, TREM1, IFN-y. Each ring around the phylogenetic tree represents one of the genes investigated. Message from the BMedSc(Hons) Course Management Committee Dear BMedSc(Hons) Students, Congratulations on completing your BMedSc(Hons) degree! Well done, it is a very significant achievement. The Course Management Committee would like to thank you for choosing to embark upon a formal year of research in BMedSc(Hons). We hope that the BMedSc(Hons) year has challenged you both personally and academically. The Honours year is meant to give you a new appreciation of how much more there still is to learn about medicine, about how new knowledge is created, how medical research is translated into changes in clinical practice and how important evidence-based medicine is for ensuring that changes to practice are justified.

  • The Royal Melbourne Hospital: Embarking on a Digital Journey with an ECM System
    Photo by WalkingMelbourne The Royal Melbourne Hospital: Embarking on a Digital Journey With an ECM System hen a specialty cancer hospital became part of the Parkville precinct that included the Royal Melbourne Hospital, leaders wanted to implement a common electronic medical Wrecord (EMR) system, a move that would enable the provider organisations to tap into the benefits associated with operating in a digital environment. ‘We wanted to have all the information and patient records electronically available for the clinicians at the cancer hospital when it opened up’, said Rhonda Carroll, former Director of Information and Performance at the Victoria, Australia-based facility. Unfortunately, though, the Victorian government did not fund the EMR initiative at the time. Leaders, however, did not let this setback deflate their efforts. Instead, they decided to take it upon themselves to keep their digital journey moving forward. Even without the EMR funding, the organisation could strive to eliminate as much paper as possible, connect standalone electronic clinical databases, and position the hospital to be ready to move to a fully featured EMR in the future. Produced in partnership with While the hospital had made quite a bit of information electronic, it wasn’t realising the myriad benefits typically associated with digitalisation. More strategic digitalisation While the opening of the cancer centre provided additional motivation, the hospital had already been on the path toward digitalisation for a few years. Indeed, in an effort to eliminate paper, various departments―including pathology, radiology, cardiology, emergency, and others ― had implemented electronic clinical databases. The problem: These systems all stood alone in silos, incapable of communicating with one another.
