(Taylor & Francis, 2002)This article is an evaluation of Ireland’s participation in the Telematics Applications Programme (TAP), which was part of the European Commission’s Fourth Framework Programme for the period 1994–1998. TAP was primarily ... -
The Role of the Actin Cytoskeleton in the Response of Chondrocytes to Mechanical Loading: A Computational and Experimental Investigation
(2012-09-28)The biomechanisms which govern the response of chondrocytes to mechanical stimuli are poorly understood. This thesis aims to provide a more in depth understanding of chondrocyte biomechanics by focusing on the role of actin ... -
The role of the aquatic environment in the spread of antimicrobial resistance of public health significance
(NUI Galway, 2020-02-27)Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest threats to human health of the 21st Century, with certain antimicrobial resistant organisms classified as being a greater threat to public health than others. At the ... -
The role of the brain's endocannabinoid system in pain and its modulation by stress
(Elsevier, 2015-11-06)Stress has a complex, bidirectional modulatory influence on pain. Stress may either reduce (stress-induced analgesia) or exacerbate (stress-induced hyperalgesia) pain depending on the nature, duration, and intensity of the ... -
The role of the citizen consumer: alternative consumer actvisim and the rights to health and development
(Commonwealth Secretariat/ Nexus Strategic Partnerships, 2012)This chapter draws on case-study research to show how networked consumer campaigns have shaped global health governance. It highlights the important, yet under-researched role of Southern health activism in mobilising ... -
The role of the endocannabinoid system in neuronal alterations and behavioural responding in the valproic acid model of autism
(NUI Galway, 2020-10-20)Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder which affects 1 in 54 children. Prenatal exposure to the antiepileptic drug valproic acid (VPA) is associated with an increased risk of autism. Similarly, prenatal exposure of rodents ... -
The role of the endocannabinoid system in the affective modulation of pain
(2015-09-30)Pain represents a major unmet clinical need and affects a large number of individuals worldwide. Numerous studies indicate a very high prevalence of chronic pain comorbid with psychiatric disorders such as anxiety and ... -
The role of the endocannabinoid system in the emotional modulation of pain
(NUI Galway, 2018-09-06)Fear-conditioned analgesia (FCA) is the robust suppression of pain that occurs upon reexposure to a context previously paired with an aversive stimulus. FCA is mediated by activation of the descending inhibitory pain ... -
The role of the endogenous opioid system in hyperalgesia associated with negative affect
(NUI Galway, 2020-02-26)Pain and negative affect (anxiety and depression) modulate one another reciprocally. However, the neurobiological mechanisms underlying this interaction are unclear. The endogenous opioid system plays a key role in regulating ... -
