Almost all participants accepted to have hepatitis B screening, showing the effectiveness of its being linked to blood pressure testing.
This Article supports SDG 4 by documenting significant improvements in fibrosis-based liver disease burden with direct-acting antivirals, among a cohort of patients with chronic hepatitis C.
This study supports SDG 3 by analyzing expenditures on hepatitis B treatments, promoting better health resource management.
The aim of the paper is to understand the culture around birth and indigenous people. This study aimed to understand First Nations women’s perceptions of placenta burial and a dedicated placenta garden in supporting connection to their culture.
Although Indigenous Australians critically ill with sepsis have similar short and long-term mortality rates, they present to hospital, die in-hospital, and die post-discharge significantly younger.
