Does every patient with lumbar spinal stenosis and high-signal facet joints need spinal fusion? 🧵

Our new study says no, not always! A simpler approach might be the way forward for some patients in the Hunter New England Local Health District.

We’re laying the groundwork for national grant success, international collaboration, and a pipeline for young researchers who care deeply about health equity.

Thank you HCRF and Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) for backing early-stage ideas that have the power to create generational change!

This work is more than just a lab project, it’s part of a broader movement to create long-term, culturally responsive solutions. We’re utilising samples from local children, collaborating with global leaders in ear disease, and embedding Indigenous governance with our Wukul Yabang community panel.

Otitis media can cause pain, hearing loss, language delays, and reduce a child’s opportunity to reach their full potential.

Guy Cameron @guycameron.me · Aug 4

Thanks to funding from HCRF, my team and I are building a human cell model of the middle ear to better understand how infections start, why some children get severe disease, and how we can develop targeted treatments beyond grommets and repeated antibiotics.

I’m incredibly proud to share this feature written by the Hunter Children’s Research Foundation (HCRF) about our work on kids’ ear health:

This research, completed as part of my medical degree, compared long-term outcomes (>1 year) after decompression alone Vs decompression with fusion surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis. Both surgeries substantially improved pain and disability scoring, but fusion was not superior.

How many duplications does it take to get a paper retracted?
@wiley.com's Liver International thinks that 10 duplications are still not enough, and issued a correction, just deleting the offending figure 6.
Unbelievable.

pubpeer.com/publications...

Two figures from this paper, Figure 6 and 8. Each figure shows 6 columns of 4 rows each, with panels showing red, green, and blue fluorescent cells on a black background. I have added brightly colored boxes to highlight duplicated panels.

Had a blast learning from the incredible team at the National Indigenous Television (NITV) and the Australian Science Media Centre (@aussmc.bsky.social)! Here’s a fun moment as a teaser, proper post is in the works 😀

Guy is sitting at a TV studio desk with an excited expression on his face whilst in front of a screen. He is pointing at text reading “NITV NEWS” with patterns of Aboriginal art.

Acute otitis media occurs almost exclusively after a viral upper respiratory tract infection. Children with mild or moderate symptoms can be treated with antibiotics or closely observed. Learn more in a new Clinical Practice article: nej.md/4iewDVV

4°C of global warming would make us 40% poorer.

It would also mean:

⚡️ More extreme weather
🌊 Rising sea levels
🌍 Global supply chain disruptions
🏥 Strained health systems
🧍‍♀️ Mass displacement

The costs of inaction far outweigh the costs of reducing emissions. It's time to phase out coal and gas.

Average person will be 40% poorer if world warms by 4C, new research shows

Experts say previous economic models underestimated impact of global heating – as well as likely ‘cascading supply chain disruptions’
