Abstract The locus coeruleus‐noradrenergic (LC–NA) neuromodulatory system has been implicated in a broad array of cognitive processes, yet scope for investigating this system's function humans is currently limited by an absence reliable non‐invasive measures LC activity. Although pupil diameter employed as proxy measure activity numerous studies, empirical evidence relationship between the two lacking. In present study, we sought to rigorously probe and BOLD localized human LC. Simultaneous...
Surgical checklists has been shown to improve patient safety and teamwork in the operating theatre. However, despite known benefits of use surgery, some cases practical implementation found be less than universal. A questionnaire methodology was used quantitatively evaluate attitudes theatre staff towards a modified version World Health Organisation (WHO) surgical checklist with relation to: beliefs about levels compliance support, impact on teamwork, barriers checklist. Using theory planned...
Background Whole-cell pertussis (wP) and acellular (aP) vaccines evoke different immune responses to vaccine antigens. We compared the effect of a heterologous wP/aP/aP primary series (hereafter mixed wP/aP) versus homologous aP/aP/aP schedule aP-only) on antibody co-administered antigens in infants toddlers. Methods randomised Australian 1:1 ratio receive either wP/aP (pentavalent diphtheria-tetanus-wP-hepatitis B-Haemophilus influenzae type b; DTwP-HepB-Hib at 6 weeks old followed by...
Abstract Background People with intellectual disability die younger than their non‐disabled peers. In recent years, greater attention has been paid to closing the gap. However, evidence that this is being achieved limited by dearth of longitudinal, national data. Method Over 4,000 decedents identified in Irish National Intellectual Disability Database from 2001 2016 were compared deaths general population based on age and gender profiles using death rates standardised mortality ratios. A...
Prolonged or severe stress can adversely affect older adults' cognitive function, but population-based studies investigating this relationship over time are rare. Previous have largely focused on either evaluated at a single point linked to specific life events. This study aimed investigate whether change in perceived 2 years predicts performance the same period sample of adults. Data from first waves The Irish Longitudinal Study Ageing were analyzed. Five thousand and seventy adults aged 50...
Caregiving for a person with dementia is frequently used to model the impact of chronic stress on health, including cognitive functioning. However, prevalence typically healthier, self-selecting non-caregiving control groups could contribute picture poorer caregiver performance and overstate negative effects stress. We investigated differences in between caregivers two non-caregivers recruited using different sampling methods.We compared function psychological wellbeing among 252 spousal...
SummaryThe sensitivities of five double-diffusion methods and immunoelectrophoresis for the detection antigen antibody were examined. Although Freer technique was most sensitive these methods, procedures utilizing plastic matrices approached Preer in sensitivity. The advantages disadvantages are discussed.
A Spirituality Interest Group (SIG) was set up in the School of Nursing and Midwifery, Trinity College Dublin, Republic Ireland (ROI), March 2013. This paper reports on some journey requirements involved developing group. It highlights essential work establishing agreed understandings an objective way order for group to move forward with action. These have contributed group’s success. Outlining arriving at agreements may be use others considering creating similar groups. One key action taken...
Investigations into the wider bioecological understanding of dental problems in early childhood are limited national surveys. Classification tree analysis (CTA) was used to explore multilevel interactions among key aspects child and primary caregiver (PCG) psychosocial physical health affecting preschool children. Data were derived from Growing Up Ireland study, a nationally representative sample 9-mo-olds (N = 11,134) 2007/2008 followed up at age 3 y 9,793) 2010/2011. Analysis included PCG...
Remission is the desired outcome following OIT as it allows individuals to discontinue treatment and eat allergen freely. Early initiation of in infants toddlers has been embraced an approach increase likelihood remission. However, there no high-quality evidence supporting younger age independent factor driving remission; available studies are limited by small samples subjects lack adjustment for confounding covariates, particularly peanut-specific IgE (sIgE) levels which closely correlated...
<h3>Objectives</h3> This review investigated the design features of vaccine injury redress programmes that are thought to impact on operating costs, timely access compensation, number applicants, and volume costs awards. In addition, we ascertained if such enjoy public acceptance. Vaccine available in 20 jurisdictions; only 11 jurisdictions have completed detailed papers their set up operation, namely, China, Denmark, Finland, Japan, Korea, Norway, New Zealand, Sweden, Taiwan, UK, USA....
A major challenge in the context of increasing aging population is to identify a method identifying cognitive dysfunction at earliest possible opportunity, preferably marker that blood-based and therefore amenable assessment on longitudinal basis. In this study, we identified 2 cohorts healthy older adults were classified as IQ-memory consistent (n=47) or discrepant (n=28; IQ-con, IQ-dis) basis their performance Wechsler Memory Scale story recall test relative National Adult Reading Test. We...
Abstract Background In Ireland, over 53,000 older adults are supported in their community by formal home support, amounting to an estimated 19 million care hours annually.
