Current Practice in the Referral of Individuals with Suspected Dementia for Neuroimaging by General Practitioners in Ireland and Wales
(2016)Objectives While early diagnosis of dementia is important, the question arises whether general practitioners (GPs) should engage in direct referrals. The current study investigated current referral practices for ... -
Pushing up the magnetisation values for iron oxide nanoparticles: Via zinc doping: X-ray studies on the particle's sub-nano structure of different synthesis routes
(2016)The maximum magnetisation (saturation magnetisation) obtainable for iron oxide nanoparticles can be increased by doping the nanocrystals with non-magnetic elements such as zinc. Herein, we closely study how only slightly ... -
Promotion of a cancer-like phenotype, through chronic exposure to inflammatory cytokines and hypoxia in a bronchial epithelial cell line model.
(2016)Globally, lung cancer accounts for approximately 20% of all cancer related deaths. Five-year survival is poor and rates have remained unchanged for the past four decades. There is an urgent need to identify markers of lung ... -
A protocol for a randomised clinical trial of the effect of providing feedback on inhaler technique and adherence from an electronic device in patients with poorly controlled severe asthma.
(2016)Introduction In clinical practice, it is difficult to distinguish between patients with refractory asthma from those with poorly controlled asthma, where symptoms persist due to poor adherence, inadequate inhaler technique ... -
Temporal Cortex Morphology in Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Patients and Their Asymptomatic Siblings
(2016)Temporal cortex abnormalities are common in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy due to hippocampal sclerosis (MTLE+HS) and believed to be relevant to the underlying mechanisms. In the present study, we set out to ... -
Syncope Unit: rationale and requirement - the European Heart Rhythm Association position statement endorsed by the Heart Rhythm Society
(2015)The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has played an important role in advancing our understanding of the causes, optimal investigation, and management of syncope through publication of practice guidelines in 2001, 2004, ... -
Neural differences between covert and overt attention studied using EEG with simultaneous remote eye tracking
(2016)Research on neural mechanisms of attention has generally instructed subjects to direct attention covertly while maintaining a fixed gaze. This study combined simultaneous eye tracking and electroencephalogram (EEG) to ... -
Delayed P100-Like Latencies in Multiple Sclerosis: A Preliminary Investigation Using Visual Evoked Spread Spectrum Analysis.
(2016)Conduction along the optic nerve is often slowed in multiple sclerosis (MS). This is typically assessed by measuring the latency of the P100 component of the Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) using electroencephalography. The ... -
The effect of providing feedback on inhaler technique and adherence from an electronic audio recording device, INCA?, in a community pharmacy setting: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
(2016)Background: Poor adherence to inhaled medication may lead to inadequate symptom control in patients with respiratory disease. In practice it can be difficul t to identify poor adherence. We designed an acoustic recording ... -
Literature review using systematic approaches to explore physical illness co-morbidity among people with serious mental illness and related healthcare interventions
(School of Nursing & Midwifery, Trinity College Dublin, 2015)International evidence indicates that the physical health of Mental Health Service Users (MHSUs), especially those with serious mental illness (SMI)1 , is often suboptimal (Parks et al., 2006; DeHert et al., 2011). Over ... -
Variation of the electronic functionality of self-seeded germanium nanowires through synthesis determined core-shell interface states
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Physics, 2015)Bottom up grown germanium nanowires may have an important role to play in future electronic devices. While the electrical properties of nanowires grown using a metallic seed as a catalyst have been extensively reported we ... -
Association of Protein Phosphatase PPM1G With Alcohol Use Disorder and Brain Activity During Behavioral Control in a Genome-Wide Methylation Analysis.
(2015)The genetic component of alcohol use disorder is substantial, but monozygotic twin discordance indicates a role for nonheritable differences that could be mediated by epigenetics. Despite growing evidence associating ... -
Mutually testing processes
(2015)This volume contains the proceedings of the 24th Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2013) held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, during August 27–30, 2013. CONCUR 2013 was organized by the Universidad de Buenos Aires ... -
Modelling Mac-Layer communications in wireless systems
(2015)We present a timed process calculus for modelling wireless networks in which individual stations broadcast and receive messages; moreover the broadcasts are subject to collisions. Based on a reduction semantics for the ...
