29 April 2016 Day of Immunology (DoI) at GTAC. Many schools participated in the day, where students get hands-on experience with lab techniques. Monash Central Clinical School PhD students were volunteer demonstrators. Mahtab Parvaresh (right) demonstrates correct technique for multi-channel pipetting.
This year's DoI program of activities is extensive, including: Immunology art exhibitions (kicked off 6 April), discovery tours, secondary school workshops, vaccination café and public lecture. From our Department of Immunology and Pathology the following people have volunteered their time to be a part of the organizing committee for these events: Dimitra Zotos, Jodie Abramovitch, Katharine Goodall, Maria Demaria and Angela Nguyen. Our generous volunteer demonstrators this year are PhD students Mahtab Parvaresh, Angela Nguyen and Timothy Gottschalk, and from Clayton, Dr Maria Demaria.

People with HIV face higher risk of fracture
ART is a contributing factor to loss of bone density in people with HIV, but the reasons for it are not yet understood. Image: aidsinfo.nih.gov |
Contemporary antiretroviral therapy (ART) has transformed
the lives of people living with HIV (PLWH) dramatically, with life expectancy
near normal and their quality of life improved.
However, it has been known for some time that people with
HIV are at greater risk of loss of bone density and fractures, with ART a
contributing factor. Professor Jenny Hoy, Professor Director of HIV Medicine at
the Alfred Hospital and Monash University, recently conducted a review of all
available randomised trial data in which fractures were measured to evaluate
the problem.

Perspective: Is duct tape any good for treating warts?
On the evidence, duct tape is no better than placebo for
treating warts. Image: Thinkstock |
Dr Michael Tam makes a critical appraisal of the evidence on whether duct tape is effective for treating warts. While duct tape is good for many sorts of tasks, Dr Tam concludes that it is no better than placebo for removing warts.
