PURPOSE To assess the activity of 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine (2CdA) as primary therapy for patients with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. PATIENTS AND METHODS 2CdA was given to 26 consecutive, previously untreated and symptomatic Two courses were administered outpatients at a dose 0.1 mg/kg body weight per day 7-day continuous infusion using portable pump through central venous catheter. Responding followed up without further scheduled receive two additional treatments on disease relapse....
This paper presents the design, implementation, use and evaluation of a tangible data souvenir for an interactive museum exhibition. We define as materialisation personal visiting experience: is dynamically created on basis recorded throughout visit therefore captures represents experience lived. The provides visitors with memento their acts gateway to further online content. A step enable contribute, in other words can become means collect visitor-generated discuss rationale behind...
Abstract Background Given the worldwide prevalence of overweight and obesity, there is a clear need for meaningful practical healthy eating advice - not only in relation to food choice, but also on appropriate portion sizes. As majority size research date has been overwhelmingly quantitative design, qualitatively explore consumers’ views order fully understand how decisions are made. Using qualitative methodology this present study aimed about factors influencing their selection consumption...
Despite years of HCI research on digital technology in museums, it is still unclear how different interactions impact visitors'. A comparative evaluation smart replicas, phone app and cards looked at the personal preferences, behavioural change, appeal mobiles museums. 76 participants used all three interaction modes gave their opinions a questionnaire; was also observed. The results show most disliked mode while tangible (smart card replica combined) liked. Preference for favour mobility to...
This study aimed at examining the mechanisms participating in excessive faecal bile acid loss cystic fibrosis. The was designed to define relation between fat and patients with without fibrosis related liver disease; assess terminal ileal absorption by a seven day whole body retention of selenium labelled homotaurocholic (SeHCAT); determine if small intestinal bacterial overgrowth contributes loss. population comprised 40 (27 men; median age 18 years) (n = 8) 32) disease eight control...
One hundred and four adult patients with cystic fibrosis were evaluated for the presence of liver disease as defined by abnormal function tests six months' duration, histological evidence or cirrhosis, portal hypertension, both. Twenty fulfilled these criteria further biliary tract abnormalities scintigraphy using 99Tc diisopropylphenyl-carboxymethyl iminodiacetic acid (DISIDA) endoscopic retrograde cholangiography. Clearance DISIDA from tree was diminished at 45 (E45) 60 (E60) minutes in...
<b><i>Background/Aims: </i></b>Variations in bitter receptor gene <i>TAS2R38</i> affect the perception of bitter-tasting compound 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP). The PROP has been associated, some reports, with fat and sweet tastes, various food preferences intakes. aim was to investigate nutrient intakes patterns a group Irish children, using K-means cluster analysis, compare these TAS2R38 genotype taster status....
The present study aimed to evaluate the precision, ease of use and likelihood future portion size estimation aids (PSEA).A range PSEA were used estimate serving sizes a commonly eaten foods rated for usage.For each food, participants selected their preferred from options including: quantities measures; reference objects; measuring; indicators on food packets. These serve out various (e.g. liquid, amorphous, composite dishes). Ease noted. weighed determine precision PSEA.Males females aged...
Abstract Aim The aim of this study was to: (1) use cognitive task analysis to describe final year nursing students situation awareness in recognising, responding and escalating care deteriorating patients ward settings; (2) make recommendations for training practice. Design A mixed methods with a convergent triangulation design. Method Data collection involved observations 33 simulated patient scenarios retrospective interviews. process tracing technique applied identify the cues...
Previous studies have shown that portal venous pressure increases in patients with cirrhosis after a protein meal. Since this increase may be mediated by an hepatic blood flow or postsinusoidal vascular resistance, the present study was designed to examine precise relation between postprandial changes these three variables and hypertension. Estimated (EHBF; indocyanine green clearance), portosystemic gradient (PSG; wedged free pressure), resistance (PSR = PSG/EHBF) were measured...
The present analysis aimed to investigate the changes in reported portion sizes (PS) of foods and beverages commonly consumed by Irish adults (18–64 years) from North South Ireland Food Consumption Survey (NSIFCS) (1997–2001) National Adult Nutrition (NANS) (2008–10). PS, which are defined as weight food (g) per eating occasion, were calculated for comparable two nationally representative cross-sectional consumption surveys published NSIFCS NANS. Repeated measure mixed model compared PS at...
Childhood eating habits and associations with advertising persist through life. Obesity is high in Ireland, increasing worldwide. Links between food promotion children's diets are well-established, the World Health Organisation has called for reduced marketing of foods fat, sugar salt (HFSS) to children. In Ireland UK, statutory regulation restricts HFSS television advertising, but only during programming – yet children view much at other times. This study first identify young exposure on...
A study of liver function in 108 adult cystic fibrosis patients showed that 20 had established disease, and these significantly better pulmonary than the subgroup without disease. The relative risk disease for homozygotes vs heterozygotes was 2:1 our series. Four a sibling with CF, but three sibships were discordant Environmental or genetic factors other deletion Delta F508 may influence development fibrosis-related

A comparative evaluation of smart replicas, phone app and cards looked at the personal preferences visitors appeal mobiles in museum exhibitions. As part an exhibition evaluation, 76 participants used all three interactions modes gave their opinions a questionnaire. The result shows that Phone Replica are equally liked but is most disliked interaction mode. Preference for due to its mobility as opposed listen place interaction; takes attention away from isolates group. Visitors expect...
