Testing for the presence of a terrane boundary within Neoproterozoic (Dalradian) to Cambrian siliceous turbidites at Callander, Perthshire, Scotland
No full textThe Southern Highland Group (Dalradian) and Keltie Water Grit Formation, which includes the Lower Cambrian Leny Limestone, form an inverted, 1.4 km thick, largely arenaceous, sequence at Callander. The grits have the same detrital mineralogy throughout, mainly quartz, plagioclase (An(1-3)), muscovite, and biotite. Chlorite formed from detrital biotite during low-grade regional metamorphism (T less than 270 °C). There are some vertical changes in major element (but not trace element) chemistry of the grits, and detrital muscovites have a wide, but comparable, range in composition throughout, apart from an influx of Na-rich micas in the Keltie Water Grits. 40Ar/39Ar laser fusion dating of detrital muscovites yields an age spectrum with a peak at 1600-1800 Ma in the Dalradian rocks; similar old ages occur in the Keltie Water Grits but are diluted by ages of 507 - 886 Ma. We interpret these new data as showing that the rocks were most likely deposited as a single sequence, possibly with a disconformity, in Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian times, before the onset of Grampian orogenesis in the Early Palaeozoic. No major structural or straitigraphical breaks have been identified and there is no direct evidence for the presence of two separate terranes

Response to Setting the record straight on obstetric gaps
No full textWe write in reply to the letter ‘Setting the Record Straight on Obstetric Gaps’.2 We thank the author for his reply to our previously published short commentary ‘Changes in out‐of‐pocket charges associated with obstetric care provided under Medicare in Australia’ (ANZJOG 2018; 58; 362–365). Overwhelmingly what ‘Setting the Record Straight on Obstetric Gaps’ highlights is the lack of transparency regarding the setting of fees that are charged to women, and the influence of ministerial decisions and lobbying on the fees that are paid from the woman's purse at the end of a private specialist consultation.No Full Tex
The cost of Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy to the Australian healthcare system
No full textIn Australia, Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy are one of the leading causes of maternal death. Additionally, mothers and babies can experience significant morbidity associated with Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy. Currently, there is little understanding about the resources spent on this pregnancy complication in Australia. Therefore, using a linked administrative dataset from the Queensland population in Australia, this study aims to determine the difference in government expenditure between mothers that have Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy and mothers who do not. The total government expenditure on mothers that had HDP was significantly higher than in mothers who did not have HDP (11,395 respectively). Most notably, the greatest difference in costs were experienced during the time of birth (6509).No Full Tex
Inequitable use of health services for Indigenous mothers who experience stillbirth in Australia
No full textVol. 49(2) pp 194-201Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify differences in health service expenditure on Indigenous and non-Indigenous women who experience a stillbirth, women's out-of- pocket costs, and health service use. Methods: The project used a whole-of- population linked data set called “Maternity1000,” which includes all women who gave birth in Queensland, Australia, between July 1, 2012, and June 30, 2018 (n = 396 158). Multivariable analysis was undertaken to assess differences in mean health service expenditure; and number of health care services accessed between Indigenous and non-Indigenous women who had a stillbirth from birth to twelve months postpartum. Costs are presented in 2019/20 Australian dollars. Results: There was a total of 1864 babies stillborn to women in Queensland between July 1, 2012, and June 30, 2018, with 135 being born to Indigenous women and 1729 born to non-Indigenous women. There was significantly lower total expenditure per woman for Indigenous women compared with non-Indigenous women (18 811, respectively). This was consistent across public hospital inpatient (14 075), outpatient (1470), community-based services (313), pharmaceuticals (22), private hospital (1265), and for individual out-of- pocket fees (86). Mean expenditure on emergency department services per woman was higher for Indigenous women compared with non-Indigenous women (643). Indigenous women who experienced a stillbirth accessed fewer general practitioners, allied health, specialist, obstetrics, and outpatient services, and fewer pathology and diagnostic test than their non-Indigenous counterparts. Conclusions: Inequities in access to health services exist between Indigenous and non-Indigenous women who experience a stillbirth.Emily Callander, Haylee Fox, Kyly Mills, Deanna Stuart-Butler, Philippa Middleton, David Ellwood, Joseph Thomas,Vicki Flenad
