Full textAbstract:
Over the last few years, attendance rates in remote schools have fallen, and Year 12 completions have also dropped. We are not sure why this is, though events like COVID-19, floods and other natural disasters have not made it easy. The case study presented here was part of a bigger project that sought to understand what people in remote schools and the communities they are in think makes a difference to attendance and Year 12 completion. This case study outlines the findings specific to one of the four case study sites, namely, Yipirinya School on Arrernte Country in Mparntwe (Alice Springs). The overarching finding of the study indicates that attendance alone cannot be the primary measure of school success; rather, engagement needs to be the focus. To tease out this finding, the three main themes: relationships, purpose, and cultural safety, are identified as factors that made a difference at Yipirinya School.

Full textAbstract:
Mediterranean populations enjoy the health benefits of a Mediterranean diet (MedDiet), but is it feasible to implement such a pattern beyond the Mediterranean region? The MedLey trial, a 6-month MedDiet intervention vs habitual diet in older Australians, demonstrated that the participants could maintain high adherence to a MedDiet for 6 months. The MedDiet resulted in improved systolic blood pressure (BP), endothelial dilatation, oxidative stress, and plasma triglycerides in comparison with the habitual diet. We sought to determine if 12 months after finishing the MedLey study, the participants maintained their adherence to the MedDiet principles and whether the reduction in the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors that were seen in the trial were sustained. Participants completed a food frequency questionnaire, and a 15-point MedDiet adherence score (MDAS; greater score = greater adherence) was calculated. Home BP was measured over 6 days, BMI was assessed, and fasting plasma triglycerides were measured. The data were analysed using intention-to-treat linear mixed effects models with a group × time interaction term, comparing data at baseline, 2, 4, and 18 months (12 months post-trial). At 18 months (12 months after finishing the MedLey study), the MedDiet group had a MDAS of 7.9 ± 0.3, compared to 9.6 ± 0.2 at 4 months (p < 0.0001), and 6.7 ± 0.2 (p < 0.0001), at baseline. The MDAS in the HabDiet group remained unchanged over the 18-month period (18 months 6.9 ± 0.3, 4 months 6.9 ± 0.2, baseline 6.7 ± 0.2). In the MedDiet group, the consumption of olive oil, legumes, fish, and vegetables remained higher (p < 0.01, compared with baseline) and discretionary food consumption remained lower (p = 0.02) at 18 months. These data show that some MedDiet principles could be adhered to for 12 months after finishing the MedLey trial. However, improvements in cardiometabolic health markers, including BP and plasma triglycerides, were not sustained. The results indicate that further dietary support for behaviour change may be beneficial to maintaining high adherence and metabolic benefits of the MedDiet.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this investigation was 2-fold: (1) to investigate the effects of a translational 12-week community-based multimodal exercise program on quality of life (QoL) in breast cancer survivors (BCS) and (2) to examine the influence of a start delay on physical function and QoL in BCS. Fifty-two female BCS completed a 12-week program consisting of 90-minute supervised exercise sessions at a frequency of 2 supervised sessions per week. Exercise sessions consisted of three 30-minute components: (1) aerobic conditioning, (2) resistance exercise training, and (3) balance and flexibility training. Significant ( P < .05) improvements in QoL were identified post-program completion. Cohort stratification comparison between the early start (<1 year since completion of oncologic treatment) and late start (>1 year since completion of oncologic treatment) revealed no significant ( P > .05) differences between the early start and late start groups on improvements in physical function. Regarding the influence of start delay on QoL, the early start group showed significant ( P < .05) improvement in emotional well-being. No other significant differences in improvement in QoL were detected between the early start and late start groups. Regardless of start delay, meaningful improvements in physical function and QoL were found after completing the community-based multimodal exercise program. Early participation in community-based exercise programming may benefit BCS’ emotional well-being compared to later participation.

Full textAbstract:
This research aims to find out the improvement of IPA subject learning achievement through a Group Investigation type cooperative learning model. The study was conducted at MIN 5 Gunungkidul with the research subjects of students of class VI of the 2017/2018 School Year. The study uses class action methods including planning, execution, observation, test and documentation activities. The results showed the use of the Group Investigation model can improve IPA learning achievement as evidenced by the average grade in the student class in pre-cycle activities of 69.47 with learning completion of 46.67% with sufficient criteria increased to 74.93 with learning completion by 60% including high criteria in cycle I, and increased to 84.93 with 86.67% learning completion including very high criteria in cycle II. The Group Investigation model can be applied to students at MIN 5 Gunungkidul.

Full textAbstract:
AFTER a period of dramatic growth in school completion in Australia, rates of school retention have begun to decline. At its peak in 1992 the national rate of retention to Year 12 was approximately 77 per cent. By 1995 the rate had fallen to 72 per cent. The aim of this paper is to document state, system, and social differences in the recent downturn in school completion rates in Australia. Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and from the Australian Youth Survey are used to look at patterns across states, school systems, geographical locations, social backgrounds, and by sex. The results suggest that during the 1990s the downturn in completion has been uneven and some groups of users which had come to rely on schooling during the 1980s for their future economic security are now turning away from school. The findings indicate a continuing need to monitor the numbers of young people completing school and their backgrounds.

Full textAbstract:
54 Background: Despite primary treatment for localized PC, 20-30% of men experience a BCR, detected by a rise in prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Though 30% of these patients develop metastatic disease, the optimal treatment of men with BCR has yet to be determined. In this trial, we evaluate the efficacy of DOC, BEV, and ADT for men with BCR after local therapy for PC. Methods: 41 men with a BCR and PSA doubling time of ≤10 months (mos) were enrolled. Patients received 4 cycles of DOC (75 mg/m2) every 3 weeks, 8 cycles of BEV (15 mg/kg) every 3 weeks, 18 mos of a luteinizing-hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist, and 15 mos of bicalutamide (50 mg daily) beginning after completion of DOC. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients free from PSA-progression 1 year after completion of ADT. Secondary endpoints included PSA response, testosterone recovery, and toxicity. Results: Median follow-up was 27.6 mos. Median age at diagnosis was 58 years. Median PSA at diagnosis was 6.7 ng/mL, with the majority of patients (59%) having Gleason 7 disease. Most patients underwent radical prostatectomy +/- radiation therapy (n=36). At baseline, 33 men (81%) had a normal testosterone (> 240 ng/dL). The table describes the PSA responses for the entire cohort. 10 men (28%) had a normal testosterone 6 mos after completing ADT. 17 men (47%) had a normal testosterone 12 mos after completing ADT, of whom 5 (29%) had a PSA <0.2 ng/mL at that time. There were 15% grade 1, 34% grade 2, 39% grade 3, and 12% grade 4 adverse events (AEs). The most frequent grade 3-4 AEs included neutropenia (24%), febrile neutropenia (11%), and hypertension (9%). Conclusions: DOC, BEV, and ADT for BCR resulted in complete responses in 16 men (44%) 1 year after completion of therapy. Longer follow-up is needed to determine the efficacy of this regimen.

Full textAbstract:
Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) using the implanted brachytherapy device MammoSite® was approved for routine use by the Food and Drug Administration in 2002. The American Society of Breast Surgeons MammoSite® Breast Brachytherapy Registry served as a guideline for our institution to begin offering this treatment in 2005. This report reviews our available data to provide an analysis of patient outcomes over 12 years of use at a single institution. A retrospective review was conducted of records of 150 patients who underwent APBI or attempted APBI after breast-sparing surgeries between 2006 and 2017. These charts were analyzed for documentation of patient age, cancer stage, incidence of recurrence, and posttreatment complications. Of the patients evaluated, 99 per cent (149/150) completed treatment. The median time since treatment completion is now 8.9 years. One hundred eleven patients (74%) are now greater than five years posttreatment. Ipsilateral breast recurrence was found in 2.7 per cent of patients (4/149), and 1.3 per cent of patients (2/149) developed new primary breast tumors. Acute complications, mostly skin erythema (21%), were uncommon and self-limited. Subacute effects were generally fibrosis (13%) and mild local pain (9.4%). APBI for breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery continues to be used at our institution for select patients with good outcomes. Local control and toxicity are similar to that reported in the literature. Five-year local recurrence rates compare favorably with national trials. Occasional complications included fibrosis, persistent pain, and skin irritation.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Appendicectomy is the most common surgical procedure done for acute appendicitis worldwide. However, one among 50000 appendicectomy patients may present with recurrent abdominal pain, requiring hospitalization as stump appendicitis and may need completion appendicectomy. There are a few reports addressing management of stump appendicitis in the literature. Here we present our experience of laparoscopic completion appendicectomy over ten-year duration.Methods: A retrospective evaluation of records of appendicectomy from January 2008 to December 2018. All patients who had stump appendicitis as diagnosis and those who underwent completion appendicectomy were included. There were no exclusions. Details pertaining to presentation, duration of symptoms, records of previous surgery, perioperative and postoperative data was recorded, including follow-up of at least six months.Results: All 15 patients were managed by laparoscopic completion appendicectomy. Patients age range from 12 to 58 years, 12 were males and 3 female, duration of symptoms was from two to ten days, previous appendicectomy was done 4 to 84 months before, nine were diagnosed by ultrasonography of abdomen and six by CT scan, stump size ranged from 1 to 3.6 cm, mean operating time was 86.4 mins (range, 60-120 minutes). Duration of hospital stay was 3 to 5 days. There were no perioperative morbidity or mortality.Conclusions: Laparoscopic approach of completion appendicectomy is safe for management of stump appendicitis.

Full textAbstract:
Incomplete gallbladder removal usually leads to residual gallbladder, which can act as a nidus for stone formation in later life. Stump cholecystitis is a condition in which, such a large gallbladder remnant left after subtotal cholecystectomy becomes inflamed. When this happens, a completion cholecystectomy is advised. We present a rare case of residual gall bladder in a 44-year-old woman who underwent a subtotal cholecystectomy procedure 12 years ago.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Older people consistently report a desire to remain at home. Beat It is a community-based exercise and lifestyle intervention that uses evidence-based strategies to assist older people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to improve physical and functional fitness, which are crucial to maintain independence. This follow up, real-world study assessed the efficacy of Beat It and whether older adults with T2DM were able to maintain improvements in physical activity, waist circumference and fitness one year post completion. Methods: We have previously reported methods and results of short-term outcomes of Beat It. This paper reports anthropometric measurements and physical fitness outcomes of Beat it at 12-months post program completion and compares them to validated standards of fitness required to retain physical independence. Results: Improvements that were observed post program were maintained at 12 months (n = 43). While the number of participants who met fitness standards increased post program, not all increases were maintained at 12 months. Conclusions: This study provides promising early evidence that an eight-week, twenty-hour community-based clinician-led exercise and lifestyle program can improve health outcomes in older adults with T2DM which were retained for at least a year after program completion.
