Indigenous Australian children twice as likely to die from infections
Australian children
Sydeny - ArabToday
Indigenous Australian children are twice as likely to die from infections, according to a study conducted by the University of Queensland released Monday.
Indigenous kids are also seven times more likely to contract golden staph, an infection commonly transmitted in hospitals, that has a 12 month death rate of between 20 to 35 percent.
The research, published in the Medical Journal of Australia, also determined Indigenous children are admitted to hospitals at several times higher rates due to infection, than non-Indigenous kids.
Despite numerous campaigns to address the issue, lead researcher Luregn Schlapbach from Queensland University's Mater Research Institute, says indigenous children are three times more likely to be admitted to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) suffering from severe infections.
"Further research is needed to define risk factors and to develop and assess appropriately targeted interventions." Schlapbach said.
During 2002 to 2013, 82,000 children were admitted to ICU wards, with 4,864 of those being of Indigenous heritage.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
