Dental general anaesthetic trends among Australian children
BackgroundChildren receive dental general anaesthetic (DGA) care when standard dental treatment is not possible. Receipt of DGA care is resource-intensive and not without risk. This study examines trends in receipt of DGA care among Australian children.MethodsChild DGA data were obtained from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare Hospital Morbidity Database for 1993-2004. Poisson regression modelling was used to examine DGA rates in relation to age, sex, Indigenous status, location, year and procedure.ResultsThere was a 3-fold increase in DGA rates from 1993-1994 (215.8 +/- 2.9 per 100,000) to 2003-2004 (731.4 +/- 5.3 per 100,000) (P ConclusionChild DGA rates in Australia are increasing. Children who are pre-school-aged, male, Indigenous or living in a rural/remote location are disproportionally represented among those receiving such care. There are higher rates of extractions as opposed to more conservative procedures, particularly among Indigenous children.Lisa M Jamieson and Kaye F Roberts-Thomso
Ixodes cornuatus Roberts 1960
56. Ixodes cornuatus Roberts, 1960. An Australasian species, all of whose parasitic stages have been found on Carnivora: Canidae, and Rodentia: Muridae; adults alone have been collected from Carnivora: Felidae, Diprotodontia: Phascolarctidae and Vombatidae, and Casuariiformes: Casuariidae; immature stages have been recovered from Diprotodontia: Macropodidae, Phalangeridae and Potoroidae, and Passeriformes: Acanthizidae, Cracticidae and Pachycephalidae, and unknown stages have been found on Perissodactyla: Equidae (Guglielmone & Robbins 2018, Barker & Barker 2020). Ixodes cornuatus is a sporadic parasite of humans. M: Roberts (1960) F: Roberts (1960) N: undescribed L: Kemp (1980) Redescriptions M: Roberts (1970), Jackson et al.

(1998) and Kolonin (2009) state that the larva of Ixodes cornuatus is undescribed; the latter author also doubts the validity of Ixodes cornuatus, perhaps following Roberts (1970), who stated that Ixodes cornuatus may be a subspecies of Ixodes holocyclus.Published as part of Guglielmone, Alberto A., Petney, Trevor N. & Robbins, Richard G., 2020, Ixodidae (Acari: Ixodoidea): descriptions and redescriptions of all known species from 1758 to December 31, 2019, pp. 1-322 in Zootaxa 4871 (1) on page 22, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4871.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/442334

Dental general anaesthetic receipt among Australians aged 15+ years, 1998-1994 to 2004-2005
Background Adults receive dental general anaesthetic (DGA) care when standard dental treatment is not possible. Receipt of DGA care is resource-intensive and not without risk. This study explores DGA receipt among 15+-year-old Australians by a range of risk indicators. Methods DGA data were obtained from Australia's Hospital Morbidity Database from 1998–1999 to 2004–2005. Poisson regression modeling was used to examine DGA rates in relation to age, sex, Indigenous status, location and procedure. Results The overall DGA rate was 472.79 per 100,000 (95% CI 471.50–474.09). Treatment of impacted teeth (63.7%) was the most common reason for DGA receipt, followed by dental caries treatment (12.4%), although marked variations were seen by age-group. After adjusting for other covariates, DGA rates among 15–19-year-olds were 13.20 (95% CI 12.65–13.78) times higher than their 85+-year-old counterparts. Females had 1.46 (95% CI 1.45–1.47) times the rate of their male counterparts, while those living in rural/remote areas had 2.70 (95% CI 2.68–2.72) times the rate of metropolitan-dwellers. DGA rates for non-Indigenous persons were 4.88 (95% CI 4.73–5.03) times those of Indigenous persons. The DGA rate for 1+ extractions was 461.9 per 100,000 (95% CI 460.6–463.2), compared with a rate of 23.6 per 100,000 (95% CI 23.3–23.9) for 1+ restorations. Conclusion Nearly two-thirds of DGAs were for treatment of impacted teeth. Persons aged 15–19 years were disproportionately represented among those receiving DGA care, along with females, rural/remote-dwellers and those identifying as non-Indigenous. More research is required to better understand the public health implications of DGA care among 15+-year-olds, and how the demand for receipt of such care might be reduced.Lisa M Jamieson and Kaye F Roberts-Thomso
