Investigating clinician perspectives regarding reasons behind the rise in involuntary psychiatric treatment in Queensland
No full textBackground: In 2008 Australia signed the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This demonstrates a commitment to promoting fundamental human rights including service users’ rights to autonomy, dignity, and self-determination, and thus challenging the traditional medical model of mental health service delivery. Additionally, the Mental Health Act (Qld) 2016 was intended to facilitate the use of least coercive treatment options and support a human-rights based approach to psychiatric treatment in Queensland. Instead, since this legislative reform, rates of involuntary psychiatric treatment in Queensland have continued to rise.
Objectives: To understand the opinions and attitudes of mental health clinicians and administrators regarding reasons behind increased involuntary psychiatric treatment and impediments to use of voluntary treatment in Queensland.
Methods: Purposive sampling was used to recruit qualified mental health practitioners from psychiatry, psychology, social work and nursing. Focus groups facilitated the sharing of views regarding barriers to the use of least restrictive psychiatric treatment. Sessions were recorded and transcribed, and later coded and analysed to identify predominant themes.
Findings: Clinicians identified numerous barriers to voluntary psychiatric treatment options. Six main themes included risk aversion, systemic service deficiencies, lack of voluntary alternatives, increased substance use, legislative shortcomings and barriers to enacting legislative criteria (Wild K et. al. 2025).
Conclusions: Clinicians perceived increasing rates of involuntary psychiatric treatment to be a consequence of are source limited system dominated by a risk averse culture that obstructs less restrictive practice.

In vitro and in vivo activity of human interleukin-8 in dogs
No full textInterleukin-8 (IL-8), a proinflammatory cytokine produced by human monocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial and epithelial cells, is effective not only on cells and tissues of human beings but also on those of several animal species. We investigated the importance of recombinant human IL-8 for the activation of canine neutrophils in vitro and its potential for inducing inflammation in vivo. Shape change (10(-9)-10(-7) M IL-8) and chemotaxis (10(-10)-10(-6) M IL-8) assays were used to determine the activation of canine neutrophils in vitro. Chemotaxis was induced by IL-8 at doses > 10(-8) M with a maximum response at 10(-6) M. A rapid shape change of comparable intensity was elicited by 10(-9)-10(-7) M IL-8. Thirty minutes after intradermal injection of 10(-9) moles of IL-8, emigration of neutrophils could be observed and became more intense at 60 minutes and 240 minutes, respectively. Zymosan-activated canine plasma, which served as a positive control, induced a rapid, massive, and more diffuse neutrophil accumulation, whereas the reaction after IL-8 was weaker but still significant. The neutrophil accumulation after IL-8 was preferentially located in perivenular areas of the deep dermis. Recombinant human IL-8 is capable of activating canine neutrophils in vitro and is able to generate significant neutrophil accumulation in dog skin. Its activity is lower than that in human, rabbit, and rat systems
Retrospective study on necrotizing enteritis in piglets in Switzerland
No full textThe re-emergence of necrotizing enteritis (NE) in Swiss pig breeding farms raised concern that, besides C. perfringens type C strains, additional C. perfringens toxinotypes might cause this disease. Therefore we retrospectively investigated the association of NE with C. perfringens type C or different C. perfringens toxinotypes. We evaluated pathological lesions, routine diagnostic bacteriology results, and multiplex real-time PCR analyses from DNA extracts of archived intestinal samples of 199 piglets from our diagnostic case load. 96.5% of NE cases and 100% of herds affected by NE were positive for C. perfringens type C genotypes. Animals without necrotizing enteritis revealed a significantly lower detection rate of type C genotypes. Non affected piglets showed a high prevalence for beta-2-toxin positive C. perfringens type A strains. Collectively, our data indicate that outbreaks of NE in piglets in Switzerland cannot be attributed to newly emerging pathogenic toxinotypes, but are due to a spread of pathogenic C. perfringens type C strains

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
