Grateful for the opportunity to lead this trial with Sarah Kobayashi, for our wonderful CI team - David Hunter, Leigh Callahan, Dr Christian Barton, Kim Bennell, Jillian Eyles, Rana Hinman, Elena Losina, Nicole Rankin, Emmanuel (Manos) Stamatakis, Bill Vicenzino, Daniel White and support from Arthritis Australia groups including Arthritis NSW (now the The Arthritis Movement) ☺️ 👉🏻 To learn more and sign up visit https://lnkd.in/gAt_RJic
🎉 First Participant Randomised! 🎉 We’re thrilled to share that our very first participant has been successfully randomised into the CASCADE‑OA trial! 🧠 What’s the study about? The CASCADE‑OA study, led by the University of Sydney, is evaluating a self‑guided 12‑week physical activity program for people with hip or knee osteoarthritis. Participants are randomly assigned to either: Group A: The 12‑week program plus a Fitbit, or Group B: A Fitbit with no additional program. Our aim? To discover if this self‑managed intervention can boost physical activity, ease symptoms, and improve quality of life—and whether it can be delivered effectively at scale in Australia. 🏃♀️ One participant down, many more to go! Big thanks to our team, supporters & participants. Here’s to advancing osteoarthritis care — one step at a time. 🌟 Sarah Kobayashi Vicky Duong David Hunter

Highlighting the talent and expertise at Royal North Shore Hospital and the Kolling Institute, a group of clinicians took out a collection of coveted awards at the Cardiac Society (CSANZ) scientific meeting. * The most prestigious research award for young investigators across Australia and New Zealand was awarded to cardiologist Dr. Karan Rao. He was presented with the Clinical Ralph Reader Prize for his valuable study of 200 TAVI patients, which used an implantable loop‑recorder to guide post‑procedural care and risk classification. * Dr. Hari Sritharan received the Heart Failure Prize for PREDICT‑TAVI, a machine‑learning model that improves individualised mortality prediction after TAVI. * Dr. Jonathan Ciofani was named Editorial Fellow of the Year for his leadership at Heart, Lung and Circulation, and Dr. Neila Litkouhi won Best Research Poster for the DAY‑STAY TAVI study demonstrating the feasibility and safety of same‑day discharge for selected low‑risk patients after TAVI. * Head of Cardiology at Royal North Shore Hospital Professor Ravinay Bhindi said it was encouraging to see the focus on this group of emerging research leaders. “As their research supervisor, I felt immense pride watching Karan, Hari, Jonathan and Neila receive well‑deserved recognition for their relentless dedication to cardiovascular research,” he said. “Their work blends rigorous data collection, machine-learning analytics as well as practical innovation. It is already reshaping clinical practice and promises to drive even greater advances in patient care.” #ExcellenceInCardiacCare #ResearchSavesLives Northern Sydney Local Health District Medicine and Health - University of Sydney Kolling Institute
