Indigenous Voice

This article considers how a First Nations Voice to Parliament, if carefully designed, could strengthen the land-based sovereignty and autonomy of First Peoples in Australia. It critiques the proposals presented in the Indigenous Voice Co-design Process' Interim Report released January 2021 for its emphasis on the role of government and existing structures. It responds to Indigenous critiques of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, while arguing for a constitutionally enshrined Voice to Parliament that respects and defers to First Nations' Country-based authority.

Abstract As an emerging discipline, disaster nursing is very important in disaster emergency management, but there are few mature practice models and theoretical discussions. In particular, the contribution of nursing staff in disaster emergency has not yet received widespread attention and recognition. After more than ten years of rapid development, China’s disaster nursing has gradually formed a Chinese model and Chinese experience. During the global fight against COVID-19, this article takes the nursing work in disaster emergency rescue as the perspective and briefly describes the development process of disaster nursing in China to introduce the practice and theoretical development of disaster nursing in China to nursing workers around the world. By analyzing the role of Chinese nurses in national disaster emergency response, it provides a reference for global disaster nursing talent capacity building. By sharing the Nightingale spirit of Chinese nurses in disaster emergency, we will show people all over the world the professional value of disaster nursing practitioners and pay tribute to the nursing staff engaged in disaster emergency work.

Abstract Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is a major Gram-negative pathogen, which has been reported to result in high mortality. We aim to investigate the prognostic value and optimum cut-off point of time-to-positivity (TTP) of blood culture in children with P. aeruginosa bacteremia.Methods: From August 2014 to November 2018, we enrolled the inpatients with P. aeruginosa bacteremia in a 1500-bed tertiary teaching hospital in Chongqing, China retrospectively. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to determine the optimum cut-off point of TTP, and logistic regression were employed to explore the risk factors for in-hospital mortality and septic shock.Results: Totally, 52 children with P. aeruginosa bacteremia were enrolled. The standard cut-off point of TTP was18 hours. Early TTP (≤18 hours) group patients had remarkably higher in-hospital mortality (42.9% vs 9.7%, P=0.014), higher incidence of septic shock (52.4% vs12.9%, P=0.06), higher Pitt bacteremia scores [3.00 (1.00-5.00) vs 1.00 (1.00-4.00), P=0.046] and more intensive care unit admission (61.9% vs 22.6%, P=0.008) when compared with late TTP (>18 hours) groups. Multivariate analysis indicated TTP ≤18 h, Pitt bacteremia scores ≥4 were the independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality (OR 5.88, 95%CI 1.21-21.96, P=0.035; OR 4.95, 95%CI 1.26-27.50, P=0.024; respectively). The independent risk factors for septic shock were as follows: TTP ≤18h, Pitt bacteremia scores ≥4 and hypoalbuminemia (OR 6.30, 95%CI 1.18-33.77, P=0.032; OR 8.15, 95%CI 1.15-42.43, P=0.014; OR 6.46, 95% CI 1.19-33.19 P=0.031; respectively).Conclusions: Early TTP (≤18 hours) appeared to be associated with worse outcomes for P. aeruginosa bacteremia children.Trial registration: Retrospectively registered.
