Welcome to the August issue of Pathway, a monthly magazine designed for anyone interested in their health and wellbeing and in the integral role that pathology plays in the diagnosis, treatment and management of diseases.
This month’s issue of Pathway looks at the following:
Is it still too early to tell the effects of COVID-19?
Whilst the pattern of COVID-19 is similar to what is seen in patients with severe influenza, is there enough data for us to know what the long- and short- term effects may be?
Strict border control and increased testing capacity for COVID-19 in NT
As there is only one large pathology laboratory which can perform higher volume testing in the NT, there has been widespread planning for any potential outbreaks of COVID-19.
Supporting the future of pathology through the RCPA Foundation
The RCPA Foundation is committed to investing in better health for future generations by funding initiatives that help us gain a greater understanding of the causes of disease.
What effect has COVID-19 had on cases of domestic violence?
The NSW Forensic Medical Unit saw a decrease in domestic violence presentations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr Maria Nittis explains why this could be due to a lack of reporting.
