Objective assessment of spectral ripple discrimination in cochlear implant listeners using cortical evoked responses to an oddball paradigm.
(2014)Cochlear implants (CIs) can partially restore functional hearing in deaf individuals. However, multiple factors affect CI listener’s speech perception, resulting in large performance differences. Non-speech based tests, ... -
Oppositional COMT Val158Met effects on resting state functional connectivity in adolescents and adults.
(2014)Prefrontal dopamine levels are relatively increased in adolescence compared to adulthood. Genetic variation of COMT (COMT Val158Met) results in lower enzymatic activity and higher dopamine availability in Met carriers. ... -
Global genetic variations predict brain response to faces
(2014)Face expressions are a rich source of social signals. Here we estimated the proportion of phenotypic variance in the brain response to facial expressions explained by common genetic variance captured by ~500,000 single ... -
Drug and cell delivery for cardiac regeneration.
(2015)The spectrum of ischaemic cardiomyopathy, encompassing acute myocardial infarction to congestive heart failure is a significant clinical issue in the modern era. This group of diseases is an enormous source of morbidity ... -
The Road Ahead to Cure Alzheimer's Disease: Development of Biological Markers and Neuroimaging Methods for Prevention Trials Across all Stages and Target Populations.
(2014)Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a slowly progressing non-linear dynamic brain disease in which pathophysiological abnormalities, detectable in vivo by biological markers, precede overt clinical symptoms by many years to decades. ... -
Nanomedicine applied to translational oncology: A future perspective on cancer treatment.
(2016)The high global incidence of cancer is associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity worldwide. By taking advantage of the properties of matter at the nanoscale, nanomedicine promises to develop innovative drugs ... -
Understanding Special Class Provision in Ireland: Findings from a National Survey of Schools
(ESRI and National Council for Special Education, 2014) -
Radiotherapy staffing in the European countries: final results from the ESTRO-HERO survey.
(2014)Abstract Background The ESTRO Health Economics in Radiation Oncology (HERO) project has the overall aim to develop a knowledge base of the provision of radiotherapy in Europe and build a model for health economic ... -
Atomic scale dynamics of a solid state chemical reaction directly determined by annular dark-field electron microscopy.
(2014)Dynamic processes, such as solid-state chemical reactions and phase changes, are ubiquitous in materials science, and developing a capability to observe the mechanisms of such processes on the atomic scale can offer new ... -
Effect of membrane stiffness and cytoskeletal element density on mechanical stimuli within cells: an analysis of the consequences of ageing in cells
(2015)A finite element model of a single cell was created and used to compute the biophysical stimuli generated within a cell under mechanical loading. Major cellular components were incorporated in the model: the membrane, ... -
Corroboration of computational models for mechanoregulated stem cell differentiation.
(2015)Do computational models contribute to progress in mechanobiology? Jacobs and Kelly (in Advances on Modelling in Tissue Engineering, p. 1–14, 2011) suggest that they do, but at the same time propose a limitation in the ... -
Guidelines for equipment and staffing of radiotherapy facilities in the European countries: Final results of the ESTRO-HERO survey
(2014)Background and purpose In planning to meet evidence based needs for radiotherapy, guidelines for the provision of capital and human resources are central if access, quality and safety are not to be compromised. A component ... -
Common genetic variation and susceptibility to partial epilepsies: A genome-wide association study
(2010)Partial epilepsies have a substantial heritability. However, the actual genetic causes are largely unknown. In contrast to many other common diseases for which genetic association-studies have successfully revealed common ... -
Rare Deletions at 16p13.11 Predispose to a Diverse Spectrum of Sporadic Epilepsy Syndromes
(2010)Deletions at 16p13.11 are associated with schizophrenia, mental retardation, and most recently idiopathic generalized epilepsy. To evaluate the role of 16p13.11 deletions, as well as other structural variation, in epilepsy ...
