Date Time Cancer survivors’ high risk of cardiac failure Mortality among people with cancer who survive at least five years after diagnosis is higher than for the general population, particularly in terms of cardiovascular disease-related mortality, according to research published today in the Medical Journal of Australia. Research led by Flinders University Professor Bogda Koczwara, a medical oncologist and senior staff specialist at the Flinders Medical Centre, analysed South Australian Cancer Registry data for all people diagnosed with cancer during 1990-1999 and alive five years after diagnosis, with follow-up to 31 December 2016. Analysis of 32,646 people with cancer alive five years after diagnosis found:

In research applications usually sensory neurons need to be isolated from animals. They represent a wide variety of different cell types, making it difficult to collect and isolate large quantities of pain sensing neurons. Using a new technique, researchers at Flinders University have found a way to reproduce millions of the cells, providing ample resources for the simultaneous testing of thousands of samples or potential drug libraries.
A man has died after his car struck a tree in Flinders this afternoon. It is believed the vehicle was travelling on Mornington-Flinders Road when it left the roadway, struck a tree and caught fire just before 4pm.

Date Time Delivering services and support for Flinders community Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayor Councillor Despi O’Connor, Deputy Mayor Councillor Sarah Race, Nepean Ward Councillor Hugh Fraser, Cerberus Ward Councillor Lisa Dixon, Red Hill Ward Councillor David Gill, Briars Ward Councillor Steve Holland and Seawinds Ward Councillors Antonella Celi and Debra Mar today joined Minister for Local Government Shaun Leane and Member for Nepean Chris Brayne at the project site for the highly anticipated Flinders Community Hub. In September 2020, the Shire received $2.15 million towards the Flinders Civic Hall redevelopment through the State Government’s expanded Growing Suburbs Fund. In 2019/20, Council allocated $200,000 to progress the design phase and will match the $2.15 million funding providing a total budget of $4.5M for this exciting development.

A new Flinders University study of 1040 online participants from five western countries published in PLOS ONE explores people’s response to the stresses of the escalating pandemic, finding more than 13% of the sample had post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) related symptoms consistent with levels necessary to qualify for a clinical diagnosis. With ongoing economic and social fallout, and death toll of more than 2 million, the team of psychology researchers warn more needs to be done to cope with the potential short and long-term spike in PTSD cases resulting from the pandemic – as well as related mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, psychosocial functioning, etc.
Date Time COVID-19 lockdowns increase meth exposure risks Families could be suffering from inhalation and skin exposure risks as meth moves from gyprock into air particles. Families unwittingly living in houses used as methamphetamine labs could be exposed to significantly higher levels of the drug ice during Covid-19 lockdowns, as financial pressures brought on by the pandemic prevent relocation and limit resources available for environmental health agencies tackling the problem. In a new study, Flinders University researchers Emma Kuhn, Dr Jackie Wright, Associate Professor Stewart Walker, Dr Harriet Whiley and Associate Professor Kirstin Ross analysed the public health challenges facing environmental health agencies investigating methamphetamine contamination in houses during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Date Time Infringement notices issued at Townsville Police have issued infringement notices to three men following investigations into an incident at a Flinders Street hotel in Townsville on January 16. The incident occurred around 12.40am, when police were called to a disturbance in the Townsville Safe Night Precinct.
