Young Onset Dementia: A Review of Diagnostic and Post-diagnostic Processes and Pathways
(National Dementia Office, 2020)People who are diagnosed with any type of dementia before the age of 65, are said to have “Young Onset Dementia”. People who are affected by Young Onset Dementia can face different challenges to people ... -
WHO's Global Action Plan on the Public Health Response to Dementia (2017-2025): Some opportunities and challenges
(2019)WHO's global action plan on the public health response to dementia (GAPD) approved by the World Health Assembly in May 2017 when fully implemented should make a tangible difference to the lives of people affected by dementia ... -
The effectiveness and characteristics of pregnancy yoga interventions: a systematic review protocol
(2020)Background: The purpose of this review is to systematically examine the reported clinical effectiveness of pregnancy yoga. The review will use the FITT (frequency, intensity, time/duration and type) principle of physical ... -
A systematic concept analysis of `technology dependent': challenging the terminology
(2021)There are an increasing number of children who are dependent on medical technology to sustain their lives. Although significant research on this issue is taking place, the terminology used is variable and the concept of ... -
Block Copolymer Derived Vertically Coupled Plasmonic Arrays for Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
(2020)A surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy sensing template consisting of gold-covered nanopillars is developed. The plasmonic slab consists of a perforated gold film at the base of the nanopillars and a Babinet complementary ... -
"In the Kingdom of Shadows: Towards a cognitive definition of photographic media"
(John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2020)The essay identifies some of the cognitive processes underlying the appeal of photography and film. Unlike painting or drawing, the photographic media are primarily indexical, with the implied physical connection between ... -
Fortunate and fearful: Emotions evoked by home care policies for older people in Ireland
(2020)This article examines the emotions of fear and feeling fortunate experienced by key actors in home care services in Ireland. We take a relational approach to emotions, that is to say, an understanding that emotions are ... -
European Registry on the management of Helicobacter pylori infection (Hp-EuReg): an analysis of 2360 patients receiving first-line therapy in Russia
(2020)European Registry on the management of Helicobacter pylori infection («Hp-EuReg») – a multicenter prospective observational study initiated by the European Helicobacter and Microbiota Study Group, conducted in 27 European ... -
Benchmark of Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis on Measuring Nanoparticle Sizing and Concentration
(2017)One of the greatest challenges in the manufacturing and development of nanotechnologies is the requirement for robust, reliable, and accurate characterization data. Presented here are the results of an interlaboratory ... -
Innovations in gene and growth factor delivery systems for diabetic wound healing
(2017)The rise in lower extremity amputations due to nonhealing of foot ulcers in diabetic patients calls for rapid improvement in effective treatment regimens. Administration of growth factors (GFs) are thought to offer an ... -
Growth plate extracellular matrix-derived scaffolds for large bone defect healing
(2017)Limitations associated with demineralised bone matrix and other grafting materials have motivated the development of alternative strategies to enhance the repair of large bone defects. The growth plate (GP) of developing ... -
Three-Dimensional Bioprinting of Polycaprolactone Reinforced Gene Activated Bioinks for Bone Tissue Engineering
(2017)Regeneration of complex bone defects remains a significant clinical challenge. Multi-tool biofabrication has permitted the combination of various biomaterials to create multifaceted composites with tailorable mechanical ... -
Interhemispheric sensorimotor integration; an upper limb phenomenon?
(2016)Somatosensory information from the limbs reaches the contralateral Primary Sensory Cortex (S1) with a delay of 23 ms for finger, and 40 ms for leg (somatosensory N20/N40). Upon arrival of this input in the cortex, motor ... -
Neural Adaptations Associated with Interlimb Transfer in a Ballistic Wrist Flexion Task
(2016)Cross education is the process whereby training of one limb gives rise to increases in the subsequent performance of its opposite counterpart. The execution of many unilateral tasks is associated with increased excitability ... -
Neural circuitry underlying sustained attention in healthy adolescents and in ADHD symptomatology
(2017)Moment-to-moment reaction time variability on tasks of attention, often quantified by intra-individual response variability (IRV), provides a good indication of the degree to which an individual is vulnerable to lapses in ... -
Transcallosal connectivity of the human cortical motor network
(2017)The organisational and architectural configuration of white matter pathways connecting brain regions has ramifications for all facets of the human condition, including manifestations of incipient neurodegeneration. Although ... -
Repetitive reaching training combined with transcranial Random Noise Stimulation in stroke survivors with chronic and severe arm paresis is feasible: a pilot, triple-blind, randomised case series
(2017)Background: Therapy that combines repetitive training with non-invasive brain stimulation is a potential avenue to enhance upper limb recovery after stroke. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of transcranial ... -
Structural and functional cortical connectivity mediating cross education of motor function
(2017)Cross-education (CE) is the process whereby training with one limb leads to subsequent improvement in performance by the opposite untrained limb. We used multimodal neuroimaging in humans to investigate the mediating neural ... -
Deep sleep maintains learning efficiency of the human brain
(2017)It is hypothesized that deep sleep is essential for restoring the brain’s capacity to learn efficiently, especially in regions heavily activated during the day. However, causal evidence in humans has been lacking due to ... -
Improving the quality of combined EEG-TMS neural recordings: Introducing the Coil Spacer
(2018)Background: In the last decade, interest in combined transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and electroencephalography (EEG) approaches has grown substantially. Aside from the obvious artifacts induced by the magnetic ...
