Significant achievements

The quality of HMRI research is continually recognised nationally and internationally and is benefiting the health of the community. Recent HMRI research has shown:

• that a diet low in antioxidants can worsen a person’s asthma.

• it is safe for women to continue to take their prescribed asthma medication during pregnancy. This research has changed the health advice that women receive during pregnancy.

• that clot-dissolving medications being trialed at John Hunter Hospital immediately after stroke can reduce patients’ level of disability and may lead to a quicker recovery.

• that a hormone therapy given to men with localised but inoperable prostate cancer a few months before radiotherapy can help stop their cancer returning after treatment.

• that treating substance use problems and mental illness simultaneously can lead to significant improvements in mental health and substance use outcomes.

• speech pathology treatment could be a successful and cost effective way of treating chronic cough where traditional medical treatment has failed.
