Pathways to Child Hospitalization
(Eastern Health Board. Dublin, 1988) -
Adenovirus 12 E1A gene detection by polymerase chain reaction in both the normal and coeliac duodenum.
(1994)A 12 amino acid sequence from the adenovirus 12 E1B protein is homologous at the protein level with a similar 12-mer derived from the wheat protein A-gliadin. It has been suggested that exposure to Ad 12 could sensitise ... -
Deriving a useful packed cell volume estimate from haemoglobin analysis
(1994)A method is described whereby the packed cell volume (PCV) of a blood sample can be estimated from the haemoglobin concentration. The method defines the relation existing between haemoglobin concentration and the PCV of ... -
Tyrosine phosphorylation in the human duodenum.
(BMJ, 1995)Many growth factor receptors including the epidermal growth factor receptor function through tyrosine kinase activity. The aim of this study was to examine the constitutive level of tyrosine phosphorylation in the normal ... -
Ten-year survival of Down syndrome births.
(1997)Objective: To determine the survival status of children with Down syndrome (DS), and to document factors influencing survival. Design: Follow-up study of cases identified from the Dublin European Register of Congenital ... -
Community Health Profiles
(World Health Organisation. Regional Office for Europe, 1998)The health and wellbeing of any population requires a holistic approach that includes the involvement of many agencies and gives ownership to the communities involved. The traditional notion of top-down delivery of health ... -
Alterations in cytochrome-c oxidase expression between praziquantel-resistant and susceptible strains of Schistosoma mansoni.
(1998)The genetic differences between praziquantel-resistant (R) and susceptible (S) strains of Schistosoma mansoni (Fallon & Doenhoff, 1994) were explored using RAPD and by cloning differentially expressed mRNAs by subtractive ... -
The role of endotoxin/lipopolysaccharide in surgically induced tumour growth in a murine model of metastatic disease
(Nature Publishing Group, 1999)Surgical removal of a primary tumour is often followed by rapid growth of previously dormant metastases. Endotoxin or lipopolysaccharide, a cell wall constituent of Gram-negative bacteria, is ubiquitously present in air ... -
Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV in Irish Prisoners: prevalence and risk
(The Stationery Office, 1999)A cross sectional survey of hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV prevalence in the Irish prisoner population was undertaken. The study was carried out in nine prisons, five of which had been classified as high risk and four ... -
Simultaneous disruption of Interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 defines individual roles in T Helper cell Type 2-mediated responses
(The Rockefeller University Press, 1999)Using a single vector targeting strategy, we have generated mice with a combined deficiency of interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 to clarify their roles in T helper type 2 (Th2) cell responses. Using immunological challenges ... -
Predictive motor learning of temporal delays.
(1999)Anticipatory responses can minimize the disturbances that result from the action of one part of the body on another. Such a predictive response is evident in the anticipatory increase in grip force seen when one hand ... -
Homocysteine, folate enzymes and neural tube defects
(1999)Background: The purpose of this study was to characterize total homocysteine (tHcy) levels at birth in preterm and term infants and identify associations with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and other neonatal outcomes ...
