Application of video-based methods for competitive swimming analysis: a systematic review
Quinlan, Leo; Ó Laighin, Gearóid; Mooney, Robert; Corley, Gavin (2015)This paper explores the application of video-based methods for the analysis of com- petitive swimming performance. A systematic search of the existing literature was conducted using the following keywords: swim*, performance, ... -
Cardioneuroablation using epicardial pulsed field ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation
O’Brien, Barry; Reilly, John; Coffey, Ken; González-Suárez, Ana; Quinlan, Leo; van Zyl, Martin (MDPI, 2023-05-29)Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia affecting millions of people worldwide. The cardiac autonomic nervous system (ANS) is widely recognized as playing a key role in both the initiation and ... -
Changing diet and physical activity behaviour in type 2 diabetes
Cradock, Kevin (NUI Galway, 2022-03-14)The aim of this thesis was to design an artefact to support diet and physical activity behaviour change in people with type 2 diabetes. The first step was to identify behaviour change techniques (BCTs) in diet and physical ... -
Gamma band light stimulation in human case studies: Groundwork for potential Alzheimer's disease treatment
Jones, Marggie; McDermott, Barry; Oliveira, Bárbara Luz; O'Brien, Aoife; Coogan, Declan; Lang, Mark; Moriarty, Niamh; Dowd, Eilis; Quinlan, Leo; Mc Ginley, Brian; Dunne, Eoghan; Newell, David; Porter, Emily; Elahi, Muhammad Adnan; O' Halloran, Martin; Shahzad, Atif (IOS Press, 2019-05-27)It is known that proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis are significantly reduced by 40¿Hz entrainment in mice. If this were to translate to humans, verifying that such a light stimulus can induce ... -
In vitro model development for pulsed-field ablation treatment of atrial fibrillation
Baena Montes, Jara Maria (NUI Galway, 2024-04-15)Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmias in humans, mostly based on hyperexcitation of specific areas in the atrium that results in dyssynchronous atrial contraction, leading to severe ... -
Inertial sensor technology for elite swimming performance analysis: a systematic review
Mooney, Robert; Corley, Gavin; Godfrey, Alan; Quinlan, Leo; ÓLaighin, Gearóid (MDPI AG, 2015-12-25)Technical evaluation of swimming performance is an essential factor of elite athletic preparation. Novel methods of analysis, incorporating body worn inertial sensors (i.e., Microelectromechanical systems, or MEMS, ... -
An investigation on the use of sensory electrical stimulation as a cueing therapy to ameliorate on-state freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's Disease
Sweeney, Dean (NUI Galway, 2021-05-04)People with Parkinson’s (PwP) currently face a significant challenge in managing on-state Freezing of Gait (FoG). While auditory and visual cueing therapies have been shown to ameliorate on-state FoG, studies often show ... -
Prostaglandin Transport in the Bovine Uterus
Fitzgerald, Aileen (2011-10-20)Abstract In the present study, the effect of bovine oestrous cycle stages and rat oestrous cycle stages were investigated for the expression of PGT protein in uterine tissue, while isolated BUECs were also examined to ... -
Signaling pathways in mouse embryo stem cell self-renewal
Quinlan, Leo (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 use of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) as part of the postoperative care regime in orthopaedic patients
O'Connell, Sandra (2017-09-14)Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is an extremely beneficial procedure carried out primarily as a treatment for end-stage knee osteoarthritis to improve both quality of life and physical functioning. Limitations in physical ...
