Push and stay factors affecting Irish medical student migration intentions
(2017)Background: A significant proportion of medical students in Ireland have demonstrated strong intentions to migrate following their graduation. Factors influencing these intentions are poorly understood. Our study aimed to ... -
Limited evidence exists on the effectiveness of education and training interventions on trial recruitment; a systematic review
(2019)Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness of education and training interventions on recruitment to randomized and non-randomized trials. Study design and setting: A systematic review of ... -
A Report on North South Experiences of Doctoral Training for Development in Africa
(2012)‘North-South Experiences of Doctoral Training for Development in Africa’ is a study of three models of partnership between Trinity College Dublin (TCD) and higher education institutes in six African countries. The goal of ... -
Mortality from esophagectomy for esophageal cancer across low, middle, and high-income countries: An international cohort study
(2021)Background: No evidence currently exists characterising global outcomes following major cancer surgery, including esophageal cancer. Therefore, this study aimed to characterise impact of high income countries (HIC) versus ... -
Local NO2 concentrations and asthma among over-50s in Ireland: a microdata analysis
(2020)Background: Links between air pollution and asthma are less well established for older adults than some younger groups. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations are widely used as an indicator of transport-related air pollution, ... -
Challenging times: Delivering gene therapies and an opportunity for shared learning
(2021)As we embrace the era of precision medicine, gene therapies are the vanguard in the fight to cure rare diseases. While rare diseases are just that, rare, it is suggested that patients with rare diseases worldwide outnumber ... -
A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, pilot trial of intravenous plasma purified alpha-1 antitrypsin for SARS-CoV-2-induced Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: a structured summary of a study protocol for a randomised, controlled trial
(2021)The primary objective is to demonstrate that, in patients with PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 resulting in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), administration of 120mg/kg of body weight of intravenous Prolastin®(plasma-purified ... -
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of intravenous alpha-1 antitrypsin for ARDS secondary to COVID-19
(2022)Background: Patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) develop a febrile pro-inflammatory cytokinemia with accelerated progression to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Here we report the results of ... -
Feasibility assessment of an 8-week attention-based training programme in the management of chronic spontaneous urticaria
(2021)Background: Prescribing error represent a significant source of preventable harm to patients. Prescribing errors at discharge, including omission of pre-admission medications (PAM), are particularly harmful as they ... -
The Effect of Semaglutide on Blood Pressure in Patients without Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(MDPI AG, 2023)(1) Background: Recent advances in the pharmacological treatment of obesity with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) highlight the potential to target excess body weight to improve blood pressure (BP). ... -
An exploration of the professional identity of clinical academics using repertory grid technique
(2022)Background: Clinicians who divide their time between clinical work and research have contributed to some of the most fundamental breakthroughs in medicine in recent history, yet their role is not always well-understood ... -
Assessment of an electronic patient record system on discharge prescribing errors in a Tertiary University Hospital
(2021)Background: Prescribing error represent a significant source of preventable harm to patients. Prescribing errors at discharge, including omission of pre-admission medications (PAM), are particularly harmful as they frequently ... -

(American Thoracic Society, 2021)Background: To meet coronavirus disease (COVID-19) demands in the spring of 2020, many intensive care (IC) units (ICUs) required help of redeployed personnel working outside their regular scope of practice, causing an ... -
The effect of surface compliance on overground running biomechanics. A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2023)The surface upon which running is performed has been suggested as a potential cause of many running-related injuries. It remains unclear, however, what effect surface compliance has on running biomechanics. This study ... -
Contralateral selectivity of upper limb motor pools via targeted stimulation of the cervical spinal cord.
(2023)Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) at the cervical level may facilitate improved upper-limb function in those with incomplete tetraplegia. While clinical trials are ongoing, there is still much debate regarding ... -
12 weeks of simulated barefoot running changes foot-strike patterns in female runners
(2014)To investigate the effect of a transition program of simulated barefoot running (SBR) on running kinematics and foot-strike patterns, female recreational athletes (n=9, age 29 ± 3 yrs) without SBR experience gradually ... -
Is the FTP Test a Reliable, Reproducible and Functional Assessment Tool in Highly-Trained Athletes?
(2019)The aim of the current study was to assess reliability of the Functional Threshold Power test (FTP) and the corresponding intensity sustainable for 1-hour in a "quasi-steady state". Highly-trained athletes (n = 19) completed ...
