ItemPotential biomarkers and challenges in glioma diagnosis, therapy and prognosisKan, LK ; Drummond, K ; Hunn, M ; Williams, D ; O'Brien, TJ ; Monif, M (BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-08)Gliomas are the most common central nervous system malignancies and present with significant morbidity and mortality. Treatment modalities are currently limited to surgical resection, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Increases in survival rate over the previous decades are negligible, further pinpointing an unmet clinical need in this field. There is a continual struggle with the development of effective glioma diagnostics and therapeutics, largely due to a multitude of factors, including the presence of the blood-brain barrier and significant intertumoural and intratumoural heterogeneity. Importantly, there is a lack of reliable biomarkers for glioma, particularly in aiding tumour subtyping and measuring response to therapy. There is a need for biomarkers that would both overcome the complexity of the disease and allow for a minimally invasive means of detection and analysis. This is a comprehensive review evaluating the potential of current cellular, proteomic and molecular biomarker candidates for glioma. Significant hurdles faced in glioma diagnostics and therapy are also discussed here.

ItemNo Preview AvailableUsing reminiscence with people with dementia in sub-acute and acute careWestphal, A ; Lautenschlager, N ; LoGiudice, D ; Calleja, D (The Academic Unit for Psychiatry of Old Age, Department of Psychiatry, The University of Melbourne, 2017)Dementia was made a National Health Priority in Australia in 2012 in recognition of the growing population diagnosed and living with the condition. In 2013, an estimated 322,000 people with dementia were living in Australia. This figure is projected to increase substantially to 400,000 by 2020 and 900,000 by 2050. Between 2009 and 2011, dementia was the third leading underlying cause of death in the country. Compared to those without dementia, those with dementia are more likely to be admitted to hospital, their length of stay is more likely to be longer, the costs associated with hospitalisation tend to be higher and they are more likely to experience negative health outcomes. A study conducted in NSW on dementia care in hospitals found that 35% of the health budget was spent on providing care to those with dementia. Improving the care experience of those with dementia is of growing concern. Admission to hospital can be confusing and frightening for a person with dementia as they struggle to understand what is happening and where they are. Reminiscence provides a practical and easy to use approach that enables family, carers and staff to engage more meaningfully with the person with dementia. This manual provides practical information that staff and volunteers can use to adopt and implement reminiscence within everyday care of people with dementia who are hospitalised.
