Point-of-injury intranasal ALM drug therapy to reduce secondary injury and improve outcomes after TBI in civilian and military resource-limited environments (Old ID 27829)
Currently there is no effective drug therapy to treat traumatic brain injury (TBI) in combat and other military and civilian settings immediately after the injury has occurred that can protect the brain and the whole body by reducing secondary injury progression and TBI-associated complications. ALM therapy is a neuroprotective fluid therapy that significantly improves survival, rescues cardiac function, reduces local bleeding, and blunts secondary injury processes including inflammation after trauma. This project will evaluate the efficacy and protective benefits of ALM therapy administered intravenously (injectable) and intranasally (via spray) in a rat model of TBI.
CSIRO Confidentiality Agreement - Fytobio
Will discuss research of group with CSIRO Protein Production Group with respect to Fytobio.
International travel and medical events- an Australian travel insurance perspective in the Covid-19 era.
This PhD project will measure the impact of international travel on the medical wellbeing of Australians. No such data currently exists. By investigating the relationship between traveller features and communicable and non-communicable diseases, an indication of the true medical risks associated with such travel will be established. The measurements will reflect long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on medical literacy, travel preferences, and public attitudes. The results will inform future product design for insurers and assist travel medical providers to advise clients on their risk for medical incidents during travel. The findings will assist in setting the healthcare expectations for contemporary Australian international travellers.

Project: Development of rural generalist medicine: An international comparison - the Qld Case Study
I am receiving no research grant for this project but have been told by JCU Contracts that I need to complete this GECO. This component of the project is to interview registrars and supervisors in TCHHS, CWHHS and DDHHS regarding the Rural Generalist Medicine program.
Cairns Delirium Clinic – Evaluation Study
The aim of the present research is to; (1) document the rates of unrecognized cognitive (dementia) and psychiatric conditions (depression, PTSD, anxiety) in older adult patients who are referred to the CHHHS delirium clinic, and (2) explore patient and carer experiences of the new Delirium Clinic. Specifically, this study aims to investigate whether access to a delirium follow-up service results in better coordination of care, increased patient and carer well-being, and an improved health care system experience. 24/001391
Influenza and Pneumococcal Vaccination in Cancer Patients in a NQ Tertiary Referral Hospital.
Cancer patients are at higher risk of morbidity and mortality from influenza and pneumococcal infections. There is strong evidence that cancer patients are under vaccinated due to patient, healthcare professional and health organisation barriers. Pharmacists have had an increase role in vaccinating the population through community pharmacies and has seen a large positive uptake. This project will assess the perceptions of cancer patients and healthcare professionals working in a cancer unit on a potential pharmacist led vaccination clinic.
Enriching student learning with interactive Anatomy and Physiology modules
Development of interactive Anatomy and Physiology Modules for first year health science students to replace current textbook and reduce student costs.
• Savings: approx. $95 each for 466 enrolled students
• Potential student savings: $44,270.
National Research Project on Remote Radiology Assessment Service Delivery
This project will investigate outcomes of the BreastScreen Australia remote radiology assessment trial at sites through9out Australia. Engaging a remote radiologist may assist with overcoming many challenges associated with providing health services in a regional, rural or remote location. This project seeks to ensure that the alternative model of service delivery is appropriate for consumers, evidence-based and safe. Specifically, this project will assess how the new remote radiology model affects: - Patient safety - Patient acceptability - Staff acceptability of new model of service provision - The safe, efficient organisation of BreastScreen services
