Career choices of today's medical students: where does surgery rank?
(Springer, 2013-11-15)The national junior doctor recruitment crisis prompts an appraisal of medical student attitudes to different career pathways. The purpose of this study was to perform a national review of surgical career intentions of Irish ... -
Preparing New Doctors for Clinical Practice: An Evaluation of Pre-Internship Training
(2012)A consistent finding in the literature is that newly graduated medical students often do not possess the basic skills required to perform their job. Training designed to prepare newly graduated medical students for internship ... -
Isolation of secreted microRNAs (miRNAs) from cell-conditioned media
(2013)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been found to be stable in the circulation of cancer patients raising their potential as circulating biomarkers of disease. The specific source and role, however, of miRNAs in the circulation is ... -
miR-379 Regulates Cyclin B1 Expression and Is Decreased in Breast Cancer
(2013)MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules that control gene expression post-transcriptionally, and are known to be altered in many diseases including breast cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the relevance ... -
Relationship between circulating and tissue microRNAs in a murine model of breast cancer.
(2012)MiRNAs are key regulators of tumorigenesis that are aberrantly expressed in the circulation and tissue of patients with cancer. The aim of this study was to determine whether miRNA dysregulation in the circulation reflected ... -
Endoscopic resection of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma: The role of radio-frequency coblation
(PagePress, 2011-08-29)Nasopharyngeal angiofibromas are histologically benign but locally aggressive vascular tumors that can result in major morbidity and mortality. They exclusively affect adolescent male and are rare in patients older than ... -
Modern management of pyogenic hepatic abscess: a case series and review of the literature
(BioMed Central, 2011-03)Background Pyogenic hepatic abscesses are relatively rare, though untreated are uniformly fatal. A recent paradigm shift in the management of liver abscesses, facilitated by advances in diagnostic and interventional ... -
Breast cancer research output, 1945-2008: a bibliometric and density-equalizing analysis
(BioMed Central, 2010-12)Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women, with an estimated 194,280 new cases diagnosed in the United States in 2009 alone. The primary aim of this work was to provide an in-depth evaluation ... -
Representation of Cancer in the Medical Literature - A Bibliometric Analysis
(2010-10)Background:There exists a lack of knowledge regarding the quantity and quality of scientific yield in relation to individual cancer types. We aimed to measure the proportion, quality and relevance of oncology-related ... -
The Sodium Iodide Symporter (NIS) and Potential Regulators in Normal, Benign and Malignant Human Breast Tissue
(2011-01)Introduction: The presence, relevance and regulation of the Sodium Iodide Symporter (NIS) in human mammary tissue remains poorly understood. This study aimed to quantify relative expression of NIS and putative regulators ... -
MicroRNA expression profiling to identify and validate reference genes for relative quantification in colorectal cancer
(Biomed Central, 2010)Background Advances in high-throughput technologies and bioinformatics have transformed gene expression profiling methodologies. The results of microarray experiments are often validated using reverse transcription ... -
Incidental findings on MRI scans of patients presenting with audiovestibular symptoms
(Biomed Central, 2010)Background:The evaluation of patients presenting with audiovestibular symptoms usually includes MRI of the internal auditory meatus, the cerebellopontine angle and the brain. A significant percentage of these scans will ...
