First Nations Australians are diverse peoples with a variety of histories, cultures, languages and experiences. In order to deliver appropriate and culturally competent care, it is essential to understand the care needs and health of First Nations peoples.

Hypoglycaemia is a condition that occurs when a person’s blood glucose level (BGL) drops to a very low level (below 4mmol/L). It’s crucial to treat hypoglycaemia quickly in order to prevent the person’s BGL from continuing to decrease, which can cause them to become seriously unwell.

How Psychologists address palliative care. Psychologists make a difference to the lives of people with a life-limiting condition and their families by helping them to come to terms with their mortality and the changes that their diagnosis means for them.

Authors' conclusions:  In settings with limited resources where the number of visits is already low, reduced visits programmes of antenatal care are associated with an increase in perinatal mortality compared to standard care, although admission to neonatal intensive care may be reduced

Authors' conclusions:  From the available evidence, acupuncture may have beneficial effects on improving dependency, global neurological deficiency, and some specific neurological impairments for people with stroke in the convalescent stage, with no obvious serious adverse events

Authors' conclusions:  There is no clear evidence which favors delayed (when stabilized) as compared with immediate (within 24 hours of birth) timing of surgical repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia, but a substantial advantage to either one cannot be ruled out

Authors' conclusions:  Evidence to date is entirely limited to small studies with regard to sample size, short-term follow-up, and high risk of methodological bias, which makes it difficult to derive any conclusions on the efficacy or safety of aerobic or resistance exercise on groups with increased cardiovascular risk or in individuals with two or more coexisting risk factors

Authors' conclusions:  D2 lymphadenectomy can improve DSS in patients with resectable carcinoma of the stomach, although the increased incidence of postoperative mortality reduces its therapeutic benefit
