Dr Paolo D Bubbio

Title: The quest for the 'I': reaching a better understanding of the self through Hegel and Heidegger

The conception of the 'I' is central to our lives. The more multicultural a country is, the more pressing becomes the question of the conception of the self. Focusing on the thought of Hegel and Heidegger, this project aims to offer a richer account that avoids individualism and allows thinking of the formation of the self as a collective enterprise.

Title: Minimally invasive monitoring of sleep for disease management

Sleep, diet and exercise are the three pillars of wellbeing with poor sleep associated with medical issues such as obesity and congestive heart failure. This project will advance sleep analysis by researching new ways of monitoring that are highly accurate and convenient, enabling physicians to improve the monitoring of significant health issues.

Title: Improving maternal and infant outcomes: A multicentre randomised controlled trial of midwifery and dental intervention

Poor oral health during pregnancy can impact the health of the mother and baby. Yet, many expectant mothers are unaware of the implications of poor oral health. In Australia there is a lack of importance being placed on maternal oral health. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a new service which will promote maternal oral health through collaboration between midwives and dentists. We expect the new service will improve women's oral health, uptake of dental services and potentially improve pregnancy outcomes.

Title: Pharmacotherapy for smoking cessation during pregnancy and the inter-pregnancy period: a population-based cohort study

This study will examine the effectiveness and safety of medications for smoking cessation prior to and during pregnancy. It will achieve this by linking routinely collected midwives data from NSW and WA to prescriptions records and other health service use. It will explore potential inequalities in the use and effectiveness of these medications in disadvantaged populations, including Aboriginal women, and it will investigate whether their use has changed in response to policy changes.

Title: Are 'potentially preventable hospitalisations' a valid measure of the quality and affordability of primary and community care in Australia?

This project will investigate the validity of 'potentially preventable hospitalisations' (PPH) as a measure of the quality and affordability of primary and community care in Australia. We will explore relationships between use of primary care services, hospital admissions for PPH diagnoses, and health outcomes and quantify the contributions of person-, geographic- and service-level factors to variations in PPH. We will make recommendations regarding the ongoing use of PPH measures to track the impacts of health reform in Australia.

Title: Physiological mechanisms of experimental preeclampsia

Defining the sequence of abnormalities of immune system regulation and vascular reactivity would greatly enhance our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of preeclampsia (hypertension in pregnancy) and lead to opportunities for definitive treatment for the mother and baby other than by urgent delivery of the pregnancy. Results from this study may lead to tests in early pregnancy of the hypoxic environment such as cytokine imbalance.

Title: The effects of tonic muscle pain on the sympathetic and somatic motor systems in human subjects

The main objective of this proposal is to reveal the effects of nociceptive reflexes in humans, and thus identify their functional and clinical implications. By performing invasive recordings from the nerves that control blood vessels and muscles in healthy volunteers subjected to long-lasting (-1 hour) experimental pain, this work will increase our understanding of the adaptive changes that pain induces and improve treatments to prevent pain from becoming chronic.

Title: Improving the management of urinary incontinence for men undergoing radical prostatectomy in Sydney West Area Health Service

Project Summary: It is estimated that <20% of men undergoing radical prostatectomy in hospitals within SWAHS present for physiotherapy management of post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence (PPUI). As such, specifically in SWAHS, there is a significant gap between research evidence-based guidelines for the management of PPUI and current clinical practice. This project will aim to bridge this evidence-practice gap.

Title: Smoking attributable health service use among Australian subpopulations

Project Summary: This Fellowship has two primary aims. First, to develop a sustainable method for measuring the smoking attributable burden imposed on health services, and its associated economic cost, among high risk subgroups of the Australian population. It will use the 45 and Up Study, the largest cohort study in Australia, to produce a measure that is more comprehensive, locally applicable and current than available methods. This measure will provide a mechanism with which the impact of public policy and health services initiatives on subpopulations can be evaluated, a valuable resource for Australia given that the improvement of inequalities in smoking-caused illness is a key objective of the National Tobacco Strategy. The second aim of the Fellowship is to apply the method produced and examine differential health system impacts attributable to smoking in subpopulations in Australia. This will facilitate more accurate tailoring of policy and health services aimed at reducing the unacceptably high rates of smoking attributable illness in disadvantaged subpopulations.

Title: Acupuncture to improve live birth rates for women undergoing IVF:
a randomised controlled trial

This project will undertake a randomised controlled trial of acupuncture as an adjunct to IVF treatment. Acupuncture will be compared to a placebo group and standard care group to examine the clinical effect on live births. The project will also examine if the cost effectiveness of IVF can be improved with acupuncture and will undertake in-depth interviews with the participants to understand the personal and social context of acupuncture, illuminate reasons why the acupuncture may or may not have worked, and identify other effects of acupuncture.

Title: Functional imaging of the brainstem and cortical sites of blood pressure control in human subjects in health and disease

Disturbances in cardiovascular control underpin many diseases yet little is known about how the brain controls the heart and blood vessels. This project uses brain imaging (fMRI) and concurrent nerve recording in awake human subjects to increase our understanding of how normal blood pressure is maintained and how different disease states influence this control.

Title: Hypertension and preeclampsia after non-steroidal use for post-partum pain relief; a prospective, stratified, randomised placebo-controlled trial

After caesarean delivery of a baby most women will require analgesia.
Traditionally anti-inflammatory medications (eg. diclofenac) have been given. Evidence exists that this medicine may increase the mother's blood pressure. This can result in a longer hospital stay, blood pressure medications and exposure to the risks of high blood pressure (eg. stroke and increased bleeding). This study examines the effect of diclofenac on the mother's blood pressure, analgesia and investigates the mechanisms behind the increased blood pressure.
