Hepascore: An Accurate Validated Predictor of Liver Fibrosis in Chronic Hepatitis C Infection
Leon A. Adams,Max Bulsara,Enrico Rossi,Bastiaan DeBoer,David J. Speers,Jacob George,James G. Kench,Geoffrey C. Farrell,Geoffrey W. McCaughan,Gary P. Jeffrey,Gary P. Jeffrey +10 more
TL;DR: A model of 4 serum markers plus age and sex provides clinically useful information regarding different fibrosis stages among hepatitis C patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enrico Rossi,Leon A. Adams,Alexander Prins,Max Bulsara,Bastiaan de Boer,George Garas,Gerry MacQuillan,David J. Speers,Gary P. Jeffrey,Gary P. Jeffrey +9 more
TL;DR: The FibroTest score could not accurately predict the presence or absence of significant liver fibrosis in Australian hepatitis C patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased detection in Australia and Singapore of a novel influenza A(H1N1)2009 variant with reduced oseltamivir and zanamivir sensitivity due to a S247N neuraminidase mutation

TL;DR: A novel influenza A(H1N1)2009 variant with mildly reduced oseltamivir and zanamivIR sensitivity has been detected in more than 10% of community specimens in Singapore and more than 30% of samples from northern Australia during the early months of 2011.
Journal ArticleDOI
Procalcitonin and C-reactive protein in severe 2009 H1N1 influenza infection
TL;DR: Procalcitonin measurement potentially assists in the discrimination between severe lower respiratory tract infections of bacterial and 2009 H1N1 origin, although less effectively than CRP.

TL;DR: Genome sequencing revealed a significant reduction in RSV genetic diversity following COVID-19 emergence except for two genetically distinct RSV-A clades, highlighting the need for continued surveillance and sequencing of RSV and other respiratory viruses during and after the CO VID-19 pandemic.
