The 19Th Century

The European flat oyster, Ostrea edulis, is an emblematic and ecologically important species that was fished to virtual extinction in Belgian and Dutch waters in the 19th century. We report on recent findings of live specimens in Belgian and Dutch waters, an indication for the presence of O. edulis in these waters. Though small, these relict populations provide possibilities for natural recovery of O. edulis reefs in Belgian and Dutch waters, provided the oyster’s habitat requirements are restored (e.g., exclusion of bottom disturbance). We suggest investigating whether a natural, yet slow, recovery using fisheries closures and gravel bed restoration is a feasible alternative to the currently envisaged human-mediated re-introduction of O. edulis in the North Sea. We identify and address the challenge of O. edulis detection and identification as an important issue blurring the true presence and distribution of oysters.

From Mother’s Little Helper to General Practitioner’s Dilemma: Confidence in the Recognition and Management of Benzodiazepine Dependence in the Great Southern Region of Western Australia

Benzodiazepine Dependence

Introduction: Benzodiazepines are among the most commonly prescribed medications in general practice in Australia. This offers an important opportunity to recognise and manage dependence. Objectives: investigate the level of confidence General Practitioners in the Great Southern Region of Western Australia have in recognizing and managing benzodiazepine dependence. Method: a cross sectional survey was sent to all the general practitioners in the Great Southern Region practicing at the time the survey was disseminated. Results: the survey response rate was 35%. The majority of respondents were more confident in recognizing, rather than managing, dependence. The most common barrier to recognition and management was inconsistent prescribing within practices, followed by lack of time and experience. Discussion: Barriers to managing benzodiazepine dependence appear to play a significant part in undermining General Practitioner (GP) confidence and practice, suggesting that additional practical and systems supports need to be available at a practice, regional and national level.
