S100b in acute ischemic stroke clots is a biomarker for post-thrombectomy intracranial hemorrhages
(Frontiers Media, 2023-01-23)Background and purpose: Post-thrombectomy intracranial hemorrhages (PTIH) are dangerous complications of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) following mechanical thrombectomy. We aimed to investigate if S100b levels in AIS clots ... -
Salt and cardiovascular disease: insufficient evidence to recommend low sodium intake
(Oxford University Press, 2020-10-04)Several blood pressure guidelines recommend low sodium intake (<2.3 g/day, 100 mmol, 5.8 g/day of salt) for the entire population, on the premise that reductions in sodium intake, irrespective of the levels, will lower ... -
Screening of exosomal microRNAs from colorectal cancer cells
(IOS Press, 2017-01-03)BACKGROUND: Cells release extracellular membrane vesicles including microvesicles known as exosomes. Exosomes contain microRNAs (miRNAs) however the full range within colorectal cancer cell secreted exosomes is unknown.OBJECTIVE: ... -
Screening uptake rates and the clinical and cost effectiveness of screening for gestational diabetes mellitus in primary versus secondary care: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
(BioMed Central, 2014-01-17)Background: The risks associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are well recognized, and there is increasing evidence to support treatment of the condition. However, clear guidance on the ideal approach to screening ... -

Sex differences and similarities in depressive-and anxiety-like behaviour in the Wistar-Kyoto rat
(Elsevier, 2016-08-31)Depression is a debilitating psychiatric disorder that is highly comorbid with anxiety. Depression is twice as prevalent in women as in men, however, females remain underrepresented in preclinical research. The stress ... -
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 ... -
Sleep disturbance in adjustment disorder and depressive episode
(MDPI, 2019-03-26)Background: In this paper, we aimed to examine the patterns of sleep disturbance in adjustment disorder (AD) and depressive episode (DE), to examine the variables associated with sleep disturbance in AD and DE and associated ... -
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 ... -
The SPHERE Study. Secondary prevention of heart disease in general practice: protocol of a randomised controlled trial of tailored practice and patient care plans with parallel qualitative, economic and policy analyses.
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2005-07-29)Background: The aim of the SPHERE study is to design, implement and evaluate tailored practice and personal care plans to improve the process of care and objective clinical outcomes for patients with established coronary ... -
A standardized aspiration-first approach for thrombectomy to increase speed and improve recanalization rates
(American Society of Neuroradiology, 2019-08-14)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Direct aspiration is a recognized technique for revascularization in large-vessel ischemic strokes. There is ongoing debate regarding its efficacy compared with stent retrievers. Every delay in ... -
Storage of blood clots for histological analysis: How long is too long in saline and paraformaldehyde?
(Universidad de Murcia, 2019)To investigate the composition of blood clots following mechanical thrombectomy, it is essential to ensure optimum storage for highest quality histological and immunofluorescence analysis. We investigated for how long clots ... -
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
