New national modelling has exposed the deadly toll of wood heater smoke in Australia, linking it to hundreds of premature deaths and widespread exposure to dangerous air pollution.

With fine particle emissions triggering asthma, heart attacks, strokes and even cancer, researchers say the health risks are far worse and more widespread than previously understood.

The Centre for Safe Air, University of Tasmania researchers calculated the health impact of wood heater emissions in Australia during 2015.

They estimated that 729 people die prematurely each year as a result of long-term exposure to wood heater smoke.

Wood heater smoke is a major source of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), a known trigger for asthma. While short-term exposure to PM2.5 tends to worsen existing conditions like asthma, long-term exposure can lead to reduced lung function, the development of asthma and/or faster progression of the disease.

New South Wales led the nation with the highest total wood heater emissions of PM2.5 particle pollution (12.3 million kg/year) and the highest number of estimated premature deaths from wood heater pollution (382/year). This equates to five people dying prematurely each year for every 100,000 people, making NSW the state with the heaviest burden on public health.

Coadministering covid boosters with annual flu shots could reduce hospital burden by as much as 14%, according to the latest mathematical modelling from the Burnet Institute.

The potential reductions in hospital burden were even greater when looking at the ≥ 65 population, cutting covid-related hospital admissions by more than a quarter, although this required twice as many doses due to the biannual vaccination schedule recommended for this age group.

In 2023, there were almost 4000 covid-related deaths, 62,000 hospitalisations and an 11% overall vaccination rate. By July 2024, only 7% of Australians aged 18–64 years had received a covid vaccine in the previous 12 months.

The study urged an increase in covid vaccine coverage to match influenza, which is a less effective vaccine for a disease with a smaller burden. There were 370 national influenza-related deaths for 2023, and the vaccination rate was 32%

“By offering a covid booster vaccination alongside the annual influenza vaccination, we could aim to achieve similar vaccination coverage for covid as influenza, which would make a meaningful difference in reducing hospital admissions and deaths,” said Associate Professor Nick Scott, Burnet head of modelling and biostatistics

High blood pressure is a common and potentially dangerous condition  affecting almost one in four people. It generally has no symptoms yet is a big contributor to heart attacks, strokes chronic kidney disease and dementia. The only way to know whether you have high blood pressure is to get it checked.

15/11/2024

A whooping cough epidemic of unprecedented proportions is spreading through Australia, with more than 45,000 cases expected to be diagnosed by the end of the year.
That is compared to just 2454 cases in the entirety of 2023, 482 in 2022, and surpassing the previous record of 38,748 in 2011.

Whooping cough can be deadly for infants and can lead to severe illness in older children and adults – especially those with asthma, who are four times more likely to be infected and have a higher chance of being admitted to hospital.

Whooping cough starts off like a cold, followed prolonged bouts of coughing. Treatment with antibiotics is available, but need to be used early to be effective.

Of course prevention is always better than cure. 
The clinic has the whooping cough vaccine, which also covers tetanus, available. It is included in routine childhood immunisation, and also free of charge for pregnant women. Others can have it for $45 with protection for 5 to 10 years.

Goulburn Specialist Centre is pleased to announce urologist Dr Muhammad Kahloon will commence consultations from our rooms on Thursday 3/10/2024.
Dr Kahloon started the Capital Urology Centre in 2015 after moving to Canberra from Mackay, Queensland. He is accredited to operate at several hospitals in the ACT including Calvary John James Private Hospital, National Capital Private Hospital, The Canberra Hospital, and The North Canberra Hospital. He is actively involved in teaching junior staff members, trainee registrars and medical students.
Beyond all general urological procedures, he has extensive experience in laser surgery as it relates to both urinary stones and prostate surgery and he is well versed in laparoscopic urological surgery. He has a strong interest in urological oncology, both upper and lower urinary tract cancers.
He is one of only a few specialists in Canberra trained in the use of the Da Vinci robotic system. Minimally invasive robotic surgery is becoming increasingly popular in Australia. In urology most commonly, the Da Vinci robot is used to perform radical prostatectomies as well as complex kidney surgery and is popular for a variety of reasons including less blood loss during surgery, shorter hospital stays and quicker functional recovery.
He is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) and member of the Urological Society of Australia & New Zealand (USANZ) and the Australian Medical Association (AMA). He travels overseas regularly to provide medical care to charitable organisations in numerous developing countries.
