Causes of death were disease progression/relapse (65.2%), second malignancy (17.0%), infection (9.8%) and other (8.0%). Non-relapse mortality was 1.2% (95% confidence interval 0.4-3.0) and 3.2% (1.7-5.7) at 100 days and 1 year, respectively, post-HSCT. Overall survival at 2 years was 81.0% (73.8-86.4) for MM and 69.6% (58.8-78.1) for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The median progression-free survival in the MM cohort was 3.3 years. CONCLUSION The Townsville Hospital transplant centre provides an important transplant service in regional Queensland, with outcomes comparable to national data. We reported a relatively high rate of second malignancy as a cause of death. © 2019 Royal Australasian College of Physicians.Psittacosis is a human systemic disease caused by infection with Chlamydia psittaci. Shortly after reports emerged of a global pandemic associated with contact with imported parrots, Australian researchers including Macfarlane Burnet and others demonstrated that C. psittaci was widespread in Australian parrots. Australian cases over the last two decades have revealed that environmental exposure and contact with infected horses are also risk factors in an increasingly complicated epidemiological picture for this zoonotic disease. © 2020 Royal Australasian College of Physicians.In the 79 countries revised, two fundamental internal medicine (IM) training patterns were in evidence, first, only basic training needed, requiring a 3-4-year residency period for obtaining the diploma of internist; and advanced training needed, requiring 5-7 years of study. Second, evaluation of common IM training for sub-specialists revealed the following three patterns dual training; core training and separate training. © 2020 Royal Australasian College of Physicians.Healthcare professionals and managers in hospitals are frequently suggested to learn from industry and business to improve quality and effi
