Liquid exfoliation of solvent-stabilized few-layer black phosphorus for applications beyond electronics.
(2015)Few-layer black phosphorus (BP) is a new two-dimensional material which is of great interest for applications, mainly in electronics. However, its lack of environmental stability severely limits its synthesis and processing. ... -
Dementia in older people admitted to hospital: a regional multi-hospital observational study of prevalence, associations and case recognition.
(2015)Previous studies have indicated a prevalence of dementia in older admissions of ∼42% in a single London teaching hospital, and 21% in four Queensland hospitals. However, there is a lack of published data from any European ... -
Neural correlates of abnormal sensory discrimination in laryngeal dystonia.
(2016)Aberrant sensory processing plays a fundamental role in the pathophysiology of dystonia; however, its underpinning neural mechanisms in relation to dystonia phenotype and genotype remain unclear. We examined temporal and ... -
A Deep Look Into Erionite Fibres: an Electron Microscopy Investigation of their Self-Assembly.
(2015)The exposure of humans to erionite fibres of appropriate morphology and dimension has been unambiguously linked to the occurrence of Malignant Mesothelioma. For this reason, a detailed morpho-structural investigation through ... -
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 ... -
Targeted polyethylene glycol gold nanoparticles for the treatment of pancreatic cancer: From synthesis to proof-of-concept in vitro studies
(2016)The main objective of this study was to optimize and characterize a drug delivery carrier for doxorubicin, intended to be intravenously administered, capable of improving the therapeutic index of the chemotherapeutic agent ... -
The Tallaght Roma Integration Project: Working for Inclusion in Health Care through a Community Development Model
(Tallaght Roma Integration Project, 2016)Since 2009, the Tallaght Roma Integration Project (TRIP), formerly the Roma Families Working Group, has been working to address the needs of the Roma community in the greater Tallaght area. TRIP was formed in response to ... -
The Acoustic Features of Inhalation can be Used to Quantify Aerosol Delivery from a Diskus (TM) Dry Powder Inhaler
(2014)Purpose Some patients are unable to generate the peak inspiratory flow rate (PIFR) necessary to de-agglomerate drug particles from dry powder inhalers (DPIs). In this study we tested the hypothesis that the acoustic ... -
A Method to Assess Adherence in Inhaler Use through Analysis of Acoustic Recordings of Inhaler Events
(2014)Rationale Poor adherence to inhaler use can be due to poor temporal and/or technique adherence. Up until now there has been no way of reliably tracking both these factors in everyday inhaler use. Objectives This ... -
Temporal discrimination, a cervical dystonia endophenotype: Penetrance and functional correlates.
(2014)The pathogenesis of adult-onset primary dystonia remains poorly understood. There is variable age-related and gender-related expression of the phenotype, the commonest of which is cervical dystonia. Endophenotypes may ...
