Chronic suppurative otitis media Burden of Illness and Management Options
TLDR
Recent developments in the treatment of chronic otitis media include evidence for the efficacy of antibiotics, especially with the introduction of topical quinolones, which are reported to have high effectiveness and are relatively easily administered, but remain expensive.
Effect of timing of umbilical cord clamping of term infants on maternal and neonatal outcomes.
TLDR
There were no significant differences between early versus late cord clamping groups for the primary outcome of severe postpartum haemorrhage or for most other neonatal morbidity outcomes, such as Apgar score less than seven at five minutes or admission to the special care nursery or neonatal intensive care unit.

Effect of timing of umbilical cord clamping of term infants on maternal and neonatal outcomes.
TLDR
A more liberal approach to delaying clamping of the umbilical cord in healthy term infants appears to be warranted, in light of early iron stores in haemoglobin concentrations, which is likely delayed that jaundice is available for long as access to phototherapy requiring phototherapy.

Otitis media in young Aboriginal children from remote communities in Northern and Central Australia: a cross-sectional survey
TLDR
Overall, 1 in every 2 children examined had otoscopic signs consistent with suppurative ear disease and 1 in 4 children had a perforated tympanic membrane.

Epidemiology of nasopharyngeal carriage of respiratory bacterial pathogens in children and adults: cross-sectional surveys in a population with high rates of pneumococcal disease
TLDR
Population-based carriage of S. pneumoniae, non-typeable H. influenzae, and M. catarrhalis was high in this Australian Aboriginal population, and reducing smoke exposure may reduce pneumococcal carriage.

Culture-specific programs for children and adults from minority groups who have asthma.
TLDR
Current limited data show that culture-specific programmes for adults and children from minority groups with asthma, are more effective than generic programmes in improving most (quality of life, asthma knowledge, asthma exacerbations, asthma control) but not all asthma outcomes.

A multicenter study on chronic cough in children : burden and etiologies based on a standardized management pathway.
TLDR
The high burden of cough is independent of children’s age and etiology but dependent on clinical setting, and children with chronic cough should be carefully evaluated and child-specific evidence-based algorithms used.

Indigenous children from three countries with non‐cystic fibrosis chronic suppurative lung disease/bronchiectasis
TLDR
Assessment of sociodemographic and medical factors in indigenous children with CSLD/bronchiectasis from Australia, United States, and New Zealand indicates that indigenous children in developed countries are at increased risk of chronic suppurative lung disease (CSLD).

Measuring nasal bacterial load and its association with otitis media
TLDR
Nasal bacterial load was significantly higher among Aboriginal children and may explain their increased risk of suppurative OM, and a reduction in bacterial load in high-risk populations may be required before dramatic reductions in OM can be achieved.
