Disease relevance of Western Australia

 

Psychiatry related information on Western Australia

  • In this Harm Reduction Digest based in part on a presentation at the 'International Research Symposium Preventing Substance Use, Risky Use and Harm: What is Evidence-Based Policy?' held in Fremantle, Western Australia in February 2003, the author proposes a new regulatory framework through which to further reduce tobacco-related harm [6].
 

High impact information on Western Australia

  • Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was first reported in Western Australia in the early 1990s from indigenous peoples living in remote areas [1].
  • This outbreak was followed by large outbreaks in Taiwan in 1998, caused by genogroup C2, and in Perth (Western Australia) in 1999, where viruses belonging to genogroups B3 and C2 cocirculated [7].
  • Incidence of IDDM in Western Australia in children aged 0-14 yr from 1985 to 1989 [8].
  • Vitamin A and cancer prevention I: observations in workers previously exposed to asbestos at Wittenoom, Western Australia [9].
  • Patients on CTOs in the first year of implementation in Western Australia were compared with controls from Nova Scotia matched on date of discharge from in-patient care, demographics, diagnosis and past in-patient psychiatric history [10].

Associations of Western Australia with chemical compounds

  • METHODS: We analysed data from one or more HDM allergen measurements in 215 houses included in four previous studies conducted in Sydney (a high allergen environment) and Busselton, Western Australia (a moderate allergen environment) [21].
  • Re: "Alcohol and mortality in Busselton, Western Australia" [22].
  • Computer quantitation of gallium 67 lung uptake in crocidolite (blue asbestos) workers of Western Australia [23].
  • STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: Five hundred and sixty eight men and women aged 33-83 years from Perth, Western Australia, completed one of the two prototypes of the tool and gave a fasting blood sample for measurement of serum folate [24].
  • Formaldehyde exposure was examined in relation to asthma among young children (between 6 months and 3 yrs old) in a population-based control study carried out in Perth, Western Australia, between 1997-1999 [25].
