Chlamydia trachomatis infection and sexual behaviour among female students attending higher education in the Republic of Ireland
(2009)Background There are no prevalence data on Chlamydia trachomatis relating to female students attending higher education available for the Republic of Ireland. This information is required to guide on the necessity for ... -
Chlamydia trachomatis infection and sexual behaviour among female students attending higher education in the republic of ireland
(Springer Nature, 2009-10-29)Background: There are no prevalence data on Chlamydia trachomatis relating to female students attending higher education available for the Republic of Ireland. This information is required to guide on the necessity for ... -
A choice experiment versus a contingent valuation approach to agri-environmental policy valuation
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2011-07)The non-market value accruing from an agri-environmental scheme can be examined by assessing the public's willingness to pay for the policy outputs as a whole or by modelling the preferences of society for the component ... -
Choledochal cysts--report of three cases and review.
(BMJ, 1984-06-01) -
Chondrocytes derived from mesenchymal stromal cells and induced pluripotent cells of patients with familial osteochondritis dissecans exhibit an endoplasmic reticulum stress response and defective matrix assembly
(Wiley, 2016-07-07)Familial osteochondritis dissecans (FOCD) is an inherited skeletal defect characterized by the development of large cartilage lesions in multiple joints, short stature, and early onset of severe osteoarthritis. It is ... -
Chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells in an osteochondral environment is mediated by the subchondral bone
(Mary Ann Liebert Inc, 2014-01-01)In articular cartilage repair, cells that will be responsible for the formation of repair tissue are often exposed to an osteochondral environment. To study cartilage repair mechanisms in vitro, we have recently developed ... -
Chondrogenic and vascular priming: an endochondral ossification approach to bone tissue regeneration
(2015-11-30)Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have significant potential to treat bone pathologies by exploiting the capacity for bone progenitors to grow and produce tissue constituents under specific biochemical and ... -
Chondrogenic differentiation increases antidonor immune response to allogeneic mesenchymal stem cell transplantation
(Elsevier BV, 2014-03-01)Allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells (allo-MSCs) have potent regenerative and immunosuppressive potential and are being investigated as a therapy for osteoarthritis; however, little is known about the immunological changes ... -
Chondrogenic differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in a simulated osteochondral environment is hydrogel dependent
(ECM Research Journal, 2014-02-03)Hydrogels pose interesting features for cartilage regeneration strategies, such as the option for injectability and in situ gelation resulting in optimal filling of defects. We aimed to study different hydrogels for their ... -
Chondrogenic induction of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells from Wharton's jelly embedded in alginate hydrogel and without added growth factor: an alternative stem cell source for cartilage tissue engineering
(BioMed Central, 2015-12-30)Background: Due to their intrinsic properties, stem cells are promising tools for new developments in tissue engineering and particularly for cartilage tissue regeneration. Although mesenchymal stromal/stem cells from bone ... -
'Choose Safety'. An evaluation of a Health and Safety module for use in secondary schools. Health Promotion Research Centre, NUI, Galway
(Health Promotion Research Centre, NUI Galway, 2009-01)The overall aim of this project was to comprehensively evaluate the pilot of the 'Choose Safety' module developed by the H.S.A. The module is a teaching and learning pack for post-primary students. The main objectives of ... -
Choosing Healthy Eating for Infant Health (CHErIsH) study: protocol for a feasibility study
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2019-08-22)Introduction Childhood obesity is a public health challenge. There is evidence for associations between parentsâ feeding behaviours and childhood obesity risk. Primary care provides a unique opportunity for delivery of ... -
Chromatic Aberrations in Optical Systems: Prediction and Correction
(2012-12-19)The variation of refractive index with wavelength, known as dispersion, was what redirected Isaac Newton from refractive telescope designs toward a reflective one, since he found the chromatic effect incurable. Later it ... -
Chronic administration of amitriptyline differentially alters neuropathic pain-related behaviour in the presence and absence of a depressive-like phenotype
(Elsevier, 2015-02)Chronic pain and depression share a complex, reciprocal relationship. Furthermore, in addition to treating depression, antidepressants such as amitriptyline are a first-line treatment for chronic pain conditions, indicating ... -
Chronic administration of buprenorphine in combination with samidorphan produces sustained effects in olfactory bulbectomised rats and Wistar-Kyoto rats
(SAGE Publications, 2019-09-12)Background: The combination of buprenorphine, a partial mu-opioid receptor agonist and a functional kappa-opioid receptor antagonist, with samidorphan, a functional mu-opioid receptor antagonist, is being developed as an ... -
Chronic disease burden associated with overweight and obesity in ireland: the effects of a small bmi reduction at population level
(Springer Nature, 2014-02-10)Background: Overweight and obesity prevalence has risen dramatically in recent decades. While it is known that overweight and obesity is associated with a wide range of chronic diseases, the cumulative burden of chronic ... -
Chronic exposure to a neonicotinoid pesticide alters the interactions between bumblebees and wild plants
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016-03-14)Insect pollinators are essential for both the production of a large proportion of world crops and the health of natural ecosystems. As important pollinators, bumblebees must learn to forage on flowers to feed both themselves ... -
Chronic fluoxetine treatment attenuates stressor-induced changes in temperature, heart rate, and neuronal activation in the olfactory bulbectomised rat
(2007)The olfactory bulbectomized (OB) rat is a well characterized animal model that exhibits a number of behavioural and neurochemical changes that have relevance to clinical depression. Hyperactivity in the open field is the ... -
Chronic kidney disease and poor outcomes in ischemic stroke: is impaired cerebral autoregulation the missing link?
(Springer Nature, 2018-03-02)Background: Chronic kidney disease increases stroke incidence and severity but the mechanisms behind this cerebrorenal interaction are mostly unexplored. Since both vascular beds share similar features, microvascular ...
