Assessing lung health disparities in Aboriginal Australians: inter‐community variation in spirometry pattern among adult Aboriginal people in rural and remote Australia

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined inter‐community‐based variations in spirometry parameters in 243 Aboriginal patients aged >18 years from 14 individual remote communities (61% female, with a median age of 54.6 years). Mixed ventilatory impairment was the most common pattern (51.6%), followed by restrictive (32.4%) and obstructive (9.8%).

Regulatory standardisation to improve the safety of continuous glucose monitoring systems in Australia and New Zealand: joint ADS/ADEA/ADIPS/ANZSPED/NZSSD statement

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Self‐monitoring of glycaemia is a cornerstone of diabetes management, particularly for people using insulin. Traditionally, glucose monitoring involved finger‐pricking and measuring capillary blood glucose concentration. Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) have revolutionised self‐monitoring of glucose levels.
