COVID-19 hospital admissions peaked between weeks 13 and 15 (first wave) nationally, and again between weeks 31 and 35 (Victoria), with most admissions represented by those above 40 years of age. Discussion: There was an unusually low number of hospital admissions with laboratory-confirmed influenza in this season, compared to recent seasons. This is likely to be due to effective public health interventions and international border closures as a result of a rise in COVID-19 respiratory infections and associated hospitalisations.]]> Tue 13 Feb 2024 12:02:47 AEDT ]]> Long-acting beta2-agonists versus theophylline for maintenance treatment of asthma https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:8460 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:38:58 AEDT ]]> Effectiveness of H1N1/09 monovalent and trivalent influenza vaccines against hospitalization with laboratory-confirmed H1N1/09 influenza in Australia: a test-negative case control study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12440 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:15:26 AEDT ]]> Serum amyloid A opposes lipoxin A<sub>4</sub> to mediate glucocorticoid refractory lung inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23760 4 (LXA,sub>4) can also interact with ALX/FPR2 receptors and lead to allosteric inhibition of SAA-initiated epithelial responses (pA2 13 nM). During acute exacerbation, peripheral blood SAA levels increased dramatically and were disproportionately increased relative to LXA4. Human lung macrophages (CD68⁺) colocalized with SAA and GCs markedly increased SAA in vitro (THP-1, pEC50 43 nM). To determine its direct actions, SAA was administered into murine lung, leading to induction of CXC chemokine ligand 1/2 and a neutrophilic response that was inhibited by 15-epi-LXA4 but not dexamethasone. Taken together, these findings identify SAA as a therapeutic target for inhibition and implicate SAA as a mediator of GC-resistant lung inflammation that can overwhelm organ protective signaling by lipoxins at ALX/FPR2 receptors.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:11:08 AEDT ]]> Influenza epidemiology in patients admitted to sentinel Australian hospitals in 2017: the Influenza Complications Alert Network (FluCAN) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36574 Mon 24 Jul 2023 18:02:31 AEST ]]>
