6—a comparison of new synthetic pyrethroids for the industrial insectproofing of wool

Abstract: An investigation is reported in which five new synthetic pyrethroids were evaluated in the laboratory for their effectiveness as durable insectproofing agents for wool. Their dyebath-exhaustion behaviour was examined under four sets of conditions. The fastness of the treatments to washing, dry-cleaning, and light was assessed by chemical analysis and assay against insects. Four of the compounds studied, WL–43479 (permethrin 40:60 cis:trans), NRDC–143 (permethrin 25:75 cis:trans), S–3206 (fenpropanate), and S–5602 (fenvalerate), showed sufficient promise to warrant further investigation of their use as industrial insectproofing agents.

Risk factors, demographics and clinical profile of Acanthamoeba keratitis in Melbourne: an 18-year retrospective study

Abstract: Purpose To assess incidence, risk factors, presentation and final visual outcome of patients with Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) treated at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital (RVEEH), Melbourne, Australia, over an 18-year period. Methods A retrospective review of all cases of AK managed at RVEEH between January 1998 and May 2016 was performed. Data collected included age, gender, affected eye, signs and symptoms, time between symptoms and diagnosis, risk factors, presenting and final visual acuity (VA), investigations, medical treatment, surgical interventions and length of follow-up. Results A total of 36 eyes affected by AK in 34 patients were identified. There were 26 cases diagnosed early ( Conclusion AK was an uncommon cause of severe keratitis and was associated commonly with CL. Patients with late diagnosis had worse presenting and final VAs as well as a prolonged disease period, indicating need for early recognition and management.

Practical aspects of telehealth: are my patients suited to telehealth?

Abstract: The first in a series of articles that demonstrate the practical aspects of telehealth, this paper provides three case studies that examine the suitability of telehealth for patients living in rural and remote areas who require ongoing specialist care.

Demographics of Australian horse owners: results from an internet-based survey.

Abstract: Objectives To obtain information on the demographics of Australian horse owners. Methods An invitation to participate in an opt-in, internet-based survey was sent to 7000 persons who had registered an email address to receive information from the Australian Horse Industry Council Inc. These horse owners represented approximately 1.75% of the total horse owners in Australia. The survey was available for completion between 1 and 31 July 2009. Results There were 3377 (48%) useable responses. The respondents were a self-selected group of approximately 0.85% of the estimated total horse owners in Australia. The overall geographic distribution of respondents was the same as the general population at a state and territory level. In general, respondents were female and aged between 31 and 60 years; most lived in rural areas of Queensland, New South Wales or Victoria; had at least a secondary education, but no formal horse industry qualification; had a higher weekly income if based in a capital city; earned less than 10% of weekly income from horse-related activities; were a member of more than one horse industry organisation; reported an affiliation with one of more than 300 different horse industry organisations; spent 10–30% of their daily time with horses; and preferred to receive information by email. Conclusions The responses from this survey of horse owners provided demographic information that was previously unavailable. Horse owners tended to be older than the general population, had a higher level of education attainment, were in higher weekly income brackets and lived mostly in non-metropolitan areas of Australia. Because of the self-selection and small sample size, the results need to be interpreted with caution. Nevertheless, the present results are compatible with other smaller random and non-random surveys of horse owners internationally.
