Although sexual dysfunction is a common treatment side-effect affecting men's quality of life, many prostate cancer patients do not receive or seek out treatments for erectile (ED). The aims this study are to investigate the extent and patterns use ED their perceived impact at different times following treatment. This retrospective cohort included all men on South Australian registry who completed one more Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) survey from 2016 2023 (n = 5561). Outcomes...
In the last two decades, sex-related differences regarding cardiovascular diagnosis, treatment, and risk factors management have been reported. The current study aims to explore in outcomes among male female patients attending Irish secondary prevention programme - Heartwatch. This is a retrospective observational study.

Objective To determine the utility of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) subtypes and number impaired domains on initial assessment at predicting progression to dementia in a sample memory clinic patients over 20‐year period. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted those presenting with MCI from 1 January 1999 31 December 2018 inclusive. Those were broken down into one four using recommended cut‐off scores Cambridge Cognitive Assessment (CAMCOG). Binomial logistic regression used as...
To assess the impact of comorbidities on prostate cancer mortality.
Obese men have lower serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) than comparably aged lean men, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine effect obesity on PSA and potential contributing mechanisms. A cohort 1195 35 years over at recruitment, with demographic, anthropometric (BMI, waist circumference (WC)) hormone (serum testosterone, estradiol (E2)) hematology assessments obtained two waves assessed. Men a history prostate cancer or missing were...
The biodistribution of AAVHSC7, AAVHSC15, and AAVHSC17 following systemic delivery was assessed in cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis). Animals received a single intravenous (IV) injection self-complementary AAVHSC-enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) vector tissues were harvested at two weeks post-dose for anti-eGFP immunohistochemistry genome analyses. IV AAVHSC vectors produced widespread distribution eGFP staining glial cells throughout the central nervous system, with highest...
Abstract Background: Contact tracing remains a critical part of controlling the spread COVID-19. Many countries have developed novel software applications (Apps) in an effort to augment traditional contact methods. Aim: To conduct national survey Irish population examine barriers and levers use App. Methods: Adult participants were invited respond via online weblink sent email messaging Apps posted on our university website popular social media platforms. Results: A total 8,088 responses...

Annual number...
To explore the personal and/or medical reasons patients on active surveillance (AS) have, or consider having, further definitive treatment for their prostate cancer. Research suggests up to 50% of AS will discontinue within 5 years, though discontinuation from patient's perspective is under-explored.Prostate cancer who were had been at least 6 months recruited. A questionnaire assessed receiving/considering and extent which medical. Clinical information was extracted a state-level population...

Rural communities can experience more barriers to accessing health care than their urban counterparts, largely due fewer healthcare staff and services, geographical isolation. The purpose of this study is examine the availability GP practices in rural across Mid-West Ireland potential impact practice closure on patient access.
To assess the therapeutic utility of AAVHSC15 and AAVHSC17, two recently described Clade F adeno-associated viruses (AAVs), seroprevalence neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) to these AAVs was assessed in a representative human population compared that AAV9. NAb levels were measured 100 unique sera different races (34, Black, 33 Caucasian, Hispanic) sex (49% female, 51% male) collected within United States.
