Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli incidence is related to small area variation in cattle density in a region in Ireland
(Elsevier, 2018-05-12)Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) are pathogenic E. coli that cause infectious diarrhoea. In some cases infection may be complicated by renal failure and death. The incidence of human infection with STEC in Ireland ... -
Short and long-term effects of gestational diabetes mellitus on the health care cost: cross-sectional comparative study in the ATLANTIC DIP Cohort
(2014-10-21)Previous gestational diabetes (GDM) is associated with a significant lifetime risk of type 2 diabetes. We assessed the performance of HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) against 75g oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT) ... -
Signaling pathways in mouse embryo stem cell self-renewal
(In Tech, 2011)At the pre-implantation blastocyst stage of development, the mammalian embryo is composed of a unique collection of cells of which three major populations predominate. The outermost layer the trophectoderm (TE) gives ... -
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 ... -
The spatial distribution of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and the chain of survival in Ireland: a multi-class urban-rural analysis
(Geographical Society of Ireland, 2016)Abstract: Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart suddenly ceases to pump blood around the body. To optimise survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), knowledge of the spatial distribution of OHCA and the availability ... -

Strength in Numbers: an international consensus conference to develop a novel approach to care delivery for young adults with type 1 diabetes, the D1 Now Study
(BioMed Central, 2017-12-04)Many young adults with type 1 diabetes struggle with the day-to-day management of their condition. They often find it difficult to find the time to attend their clinic appointments and to meet with their diabetes healthcare ... -
Stress-induced analgesia.
(Butler, R. K. & Finn, D.P. (2009). Stress-induced analgesia. Progress in Neurobiology, 88, 184-202., 2009)For over 30 years, scientists have been investigating the phenomenon of pain suppression upon exposure to unconditioned or conditioned stressful stimuli, commonly known as stress-induced analgesia. These studies have ... -
Stress-induced hyperalgesia
(Elsevier, 2014-07-08)The importance of the modulation of pain by emotion is now widely recognised. In particular, stress and anxiety, depending on their nature, duration and intensity, can exert potent, but complex, modulatory influences ... -

Supraspinal modulation of pain by cannabinoids: the role of GABA and glutamate
(2007)Recent physiological, pharmacological and anatomical studies provide evidence that one of the main roles of the endocannabinoid system in the brain is the regulation of ¿-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate release. ... -
Supraspinal transient receptor potential subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) in pain and psychiatric disorders
(Karger, 2015)The transient receptor potential subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) belongs to the diverse transient receptor potential (TRP) family of cation channels. It was first characterized in primary afferent fibres as a receptor for ... -

Third-party allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells prevent rejection in a pre-sensitized high-risk model of corneal transplantation
(Frontiers Media, 2018-11-20)High-risk cornea transplant recipients represent a patient population with significant un-met medical need for more effective therapies to prevent immunological graft rejection due to heightened anti-donor immune response. ... -
TNF-a/IL-1ß-licensed mesenchymal stromal cells promote corneal allograft survival via myeloid cell-mediated induction of Foxp3+ regulatory T cells in the lung.
(Federation of American Society of Experimental Biology (FASEB), 2019-05-20)Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have shown promise as a therapy for immune-mediated disorders, including transplant rejection. Our group previously demonstrated the efficacy of pretransplant, systemic administration of ...
