Profile of Community-Dwelling Older People with a Disability and their Caregivers in Ireland
(The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing and the Department of Health and Children, 2012) -
Effects of recirculation of seawater enriched in inorganic nitrogen on dissolved organic carbon processing in sandy seepage face sediments
(2014)Human activities are now the main source of bioavailable Nitrogen to Earth's ecosystems. Disruption of the N cycle can promote changes to the biogeochemical cycling of other elements in particular to the oxygen and carbon ... -
Comparison of semi-automated and manual measurements of carotid intima-media thickening
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014)Carotid intima-media thickening (CIMT) is a marker of both arteriosclerotic and atherosclerotic risks. Technological advances have semiautomated CIMT image acquisition and quantification. Studies comparing manual and ... -
Biomarkers Predict Relapse in Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis.
(2014)Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a small blood vessel vasculitic disorder with a high mortality rate if undiagnosed or treated inadequately. Disease relapse is a key feature of this disease and early identification ... -
Fatigue failure of osteocyte cellular processes: implications for the repair of bone.
(2014)The physical effects of fatigue failure caused by cyclic strain are important and for most materials well understood. However, nothing is known about this mode of failure in living cells. We developed a novel method that ... -
Comparison of biomaterial delivery vehicles for improving acute retention of stem cells in the infarcted heart.
(2014)Cell delivery to the infarcted heart has emerged as a promising therapy, but is limited by very low acute retention and engraftment of cells. The objective of this study was to compare a panel of biomaterials to evaluate ... -
Sex differences in COMT polymorphism effects on prefrontal inhibitory control in adolescence.
(2014)Catecholamine-0-methyl-transferase (COMT) gene variation effects on prefrontal blood oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) activation are robust; however, despite observations that COMT is estrogenically catabolized, sex ... -
DRD2/ANKK1 polymorphism modulates the effect of ventral striatal activation on working memory performance
(2014)Motivation is important for learning and cognition. Although dopaminergic (D2) transmission in the ventral striatum (VS) is associated with motivation, learning, and cognition are more strongly associated with function of ... -
Subregional basal forebrain atrophy in Alzheimer's disease: a multicenter study
(2014)Histopathological studies in Alzheimer's disease (AD) suggest severe and region-specific neurodegeneration of the basal forebrain cholinergic system (BFCS). Here, we studied the between-center reliability and diagnostic ... -
Neuropsychosocial profiles of current and future adolescent alcohol misusers.
(2014)A comprehensive account of the causes of alcohol misuse must accommodate individual differences in biology, psychology and environment, and must disentangle cause and effect. Animal models can demonstrate the effects of ... -
A headset method for measuring the visual temporal discrimination threshold in cervical dystonia.
(2014)BACKGROUND: The visual temporal discrimination threshold (TDT) is the shortest time interval at which one can determine two stimuli to be asynchronous and meets criteria for a valid endophenotype in adult-onset idiopathic ... -
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing for Helicobacter pylori in times of increasing antibiotic resistance.
(2014)The gram-negative bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) causes chronic gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, gastric cancer and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. Treatment is recommended in all symptomatic ... -
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor deficiency ameliorates high-fat diet induced insulin resistance in mice with reduced adipose inflammation and hepatic steatosis.
(2014)Macrophage infiltration is a critical determinant of high-fat diet induced adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance. The precise mechanisms underpinning the initiation of macrophage recruitment and activation are ... -
Personality, Attentional Biases towards Emotional Faces and Symptoms of Mental Disorders in an Adolescent Sample.
(2015)Objective To investigate the role of personality factors and attentional biases towards emotional faces, in establishing concurrent and prospective risk for mental disorder diagnosis in adolescence. Method Data were ...
