Article Abstract
Background: Culturally safe maternity care is a key strategy to reduce health inequities for Australian First Nations mothers and babies. Midwifery-led continuity of care (i.e., caseload) is associated with improved perinatal and psychosocial outcomes compared to other models and has been shown to improve women's experiences of care. Little is known about midwives' views and experiences of working in these models.
Aim: We aimed to explore midwives' experiences of providing care in a new culturally tailored caseload model for women having a First Nations baby at three tertiary maternity services in Melbourne, Australia.
Methods: Using a descriptive qualitative design, 20 semi-structured interviews were conducted with midwives working in the new model and analysed thematically.
Findings: The global theme 'Stronger connections for better outcomes' comprised four sub-themes: Strengthened connections between woman and midwife; Strengthened connections to navigate systems and services; Strong connections amongst caseload midwives; and Strong connections and sustainability require responsive systems and management.
Discussion: The connections between women and midwives provided a greater understanding of culture and the context of women's lives, and the model facilitated co-ordination and navigation of complex services. The strong connections were jeopardised when the organisational support and resources required to provide care in the model was not provided.
Conclusion: Midwives reflected positively about working in the model that they believed made a difference for First Nations families. Sustaining midwives in this model requires cultural training and support, a caseload that accommodates clinical and psychosocial contexts of the women, and organisational commitment and support.

Unlabelled: There is a considerable interest in the association between and colorectal cancer (CRC). Recently, it was suggested that this association is valid only for a distinct clade of ( C2) and that strains belonging to another clade ( C1) are only associated with the oral cavity. It was further suggested that this made C1 a natural comparator when looking for candidate genes associated with the pathogenicity of C2.

Selenium, as an important semiconductor material, exhibits significant potential for understanding lattice dynamics and thermoelectric applications through its thermal transport properties. Conventional empirical potentials are often unable to accurately describe the phonon transport properties of selenium crystals, which limits in-depth understanding of their thermal conduction mechanisms. To address this issue, this study developed a high-precision machine learning potential (MLP), with training datasets generated molecular dynamics simulations.

Development and validation of a novel score to predict adverse outcomes in paediatric congenital mitral regurgitation (PRIMARY): a multicentre cohort study.

Background: Paediatric patients who underwent surgery for mitral regurgitation (MR) have a high risk of recurrence or death; however, no prediction tool has been developed to risk-stratify this challenging subpopulation.
Methods: In this multicentre cohort study, paediatric patients undergoing surgery for congenital MR in Shanghai Children's Medical Center in January 1st, 2009-December 31st, 2022 were included for analysis while those had a combination with infective endocarditis, anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery, rheumatic valvular disease, connective tissue disease, or single ventricle were excluded. A Cox regression model predictive of the primary outcome (a composite of mortality or mitral valve [MV] re-operation) was derived and converted to a point-based risk score.

Depression is a common mental health problem that imposes a significant burden on both individuals and society. Numerous studies have shown that childhood abuse has a long-lasting detrimental effect on mental health, including the development of depression. This study reviews recent studies on the association between childhood abuse and depression, highlighting the robust causal link between childhood abuse and subsequent depression.
