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 ... -
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 ... -
Mouse and human genetic analyses associate kalirin with ventral striatal activation during impulsivity and with alcohol misuse
(2016)Impulsivity is associated with a spectrum of psychiatric disorders including drug addiction. To investigate genetic associations with impulsivity and initiation of drug taking, we took a two-step approach. First, we ... -
A translational systems biology approach in both animals and humans identifies a functionally related module of accumbal genes involved in the regulation of reward processing and binge drinking in males.
(2015)Background: The mesolimbic dopamine system, composed primarily of dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area that project to striatal structures, is considered to be the key mediator of reinforcement-related ... -
Early hippocampal volume loss as a marker of eventual memory deficits caused by repeated stress
(2016)Exposure to severe and prolonged stress has detrimental effects on the hippocampus. However, relatively little is known about the gradual changes in hippocampal structure, and its behavioral consequences, over the course ... -
Cannabis use in early adolescence: Evidence of amygdala hypersensitivity to signals of threat
(2015)Cannabis use in adolescence may be characterized by differences in the neural basis of affective processing. In this study, we used an fMRI affective face processing task to compare a large group (n = 70) of 14-year olds ... -
Brain Regions Related to Impulsivity Mediate the Effects of Early Adversity on Antisocial Behavior
(2017)Background Individual differences in impulsivity and early adversity are known to be strong predictors of adolescent antisocial behavior. However, the neurobiological bases of impulsivity and their relation to antisocial ... -
Exploring the challenges experienced by people with muscular dystrophy living independently (MD INDOLIVING)
(University of Dublin Trinity College, 2016)This study follows up on the national survey undertaken in 2014 by Muscular Dystrophy Ireland (MDI) in which a questionnaire was distributed to all MDI members (n=697). Significantly, 69% of respondents reported that ... -
Age-Related Sexual Dimorphism in Temporal Discrimination and in Adult-Onset Dystonia Suggests GABAergic Mechanisms.
(2015)BACKGROUND: Adult-onset isolated focal dystonia (AOIFD) presenting in early adult life is more frequent in men, whereas in middle age it is female predominant. Temporal discrimination, an endophenotype of adult-onset ...
