Plastics in human diets: development and evaluation of the 24-h Dietary Recall — Plastic Exposure and the Dietary Plastics ScoreHumans are commonly exposed to plastic through their dietary intake and food consumption patterns. Plastic-associated chemicals (PAC), such as bisphenols and phthalates, are recognized as endocrine-disrupting and are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome. However, accurate methods to assess dietary exposure to plastic products and PAC are inadequate, limiting interrogation of health impacts.

Short-Term Diabetic Retinopathy Status in People with Type 1 Diabetes Commencing Automated Insulin DeliveryRapid improvements in glucose control may lead to early worsening of diabetic retinopathy (EWDR). There is a need to demonstrate safety in people commencing automated insulin delivery (AID) due to the known efficacy in rapid glycemic improvement. We aimed to investigate short-term DR outcomes in people (aged ≥13 years) with type 1 diabetes after initiation of AID (use ≥6 months).

X-Linked Hypophosphataemia and Burosumab: A Systemic Disease With a New TreatmentX linked hypophosphataemia (XLH) is a systemic, chronic condition that significantly impairs quality of life. In XLH, a phosphate regulating endopeptidase homologue X-linked (PHEX) gene mutation leads to excess fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), causing hypophosphataemia and subsequent rickets, lower limb deformity, pain and other sequelae, however there are likely other non-FGF23 mediated mechanisms contributing to disease

Priority setting for children and young people with chronic conditions and disabilitiesThe aim of this project was to identify the top 10 priorities for childhood chronic conditions and disability (CCD) research from the perspectives of children and young people with lived experience, their parents and caregivers and the professionals who work with them.
