Objectives To compare the prevalence and predictors of alcohol use in multiple cohorts. Design Cross-cohort comparison retrospective prospective studies. Setting Population-based studies Ireland, UK, Australia New Zealand. Participants 17 244 women predominantly Caucasian origin from two Irish (Growing up Ireland (GUI) Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS Ireland)), one multicentre international cohort, Screening for Endpoints (SCOPE) study. Primary secondary outcome measures...
1.To assess the effects of acute exposure to high altitude on baroreceptor function in man we evaluated activation R–R interval and blood pressure control at altitude. We measured low-frequency (LF) high-frequency (HF) components R–R, non-invasive skin flow, effect modulation by 0.1-Hz sinusoidal neck suction. Ten healthy sea-level natives three high-altitude native, long-term residents were sea level, upon arrival 4970 ;m 1 week later. 2.Compared with decreased increased all subjects...
We study the behavior of new MAC protocols for QoS in proposed IEEE 802.11e draft standard and analyze them their ability to fulfill goals better higher channel efficiency. response these mechanisms various choices available protocol parameters. show that HCF reduces contention allows utilization. However, both coordination functions, EDCF HCF, are highly sensitive believe effectiveness functions also depends on scheduling algorithms. The effects policy need be understood validated before...
Louise Kenny and colleagues conduct a population-based cohort study in Denmark to assess the likelihood of stillbirth, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy following cesarean section compared women who gave birth by vaginal delivery. Please see later article for Editors' Summary
When clinically indicated, common obstetric interventions can greatly improve maternal and neonatal outcomes. However, variation in intervention rates suggests that practice may not be solely driven by case criteria.Differences private public status Ireland were examined using nationally representative hospital discharge data. A retrospective cohort study was performed on childbirth hospitalisations occurring between 2005 2010. Multivariate logistic regression analysis with correction for...
Elective repeat caesarean delivery (ERCD) rates have been increasing worldwide, thus prompting obstetric discourse on the risks and benefits for mother infant. Yet, these also major economic implications health care system. Given dearth of information cost-effectiveness related to mode delivery, aim this paper was perform an evaluation costs short-term maternal consequences associated with a trial labour after one previous compared ERCD low risk women in Ireland.Using decision analytic...
Abstract We have partially purified and characterized a DNA polymerase activity from human KB cells. With the exception of λ DNA, enzyme utilizes either native or denatured as template incorporates deoxyribonucleotides in 5' to 3' direction. Under conditions limited synthesis produces covalent attachment end product. In presence four deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates can catalyze at least 4-fold net it copies variety templates give products that accurately reflect base composition template....
To describe the nationwide prevalence of placenta accreta and to quantify its impact on maternal morbidity.Using discharge data for public hospitals in Ireland, years 2005-2010, deliveries with were identified using ICD-10-AM code morbidly adherent compared without condition. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) 95% confidence intervals (CI) estimated logistic regression.Placenta increased 34% from 2005 2010 (7.9/10 000 versus 10.6/10 deliveries). This condition was associated a substantial risk...
Pregnancy loss and the death of their baby can be overwhelming for families, especially when is unexpected. The standard bereavement care families receive around time pregnancy or early infant have a significant impact on psychological recovery. At times external inquiries are carried out to identify issues in maternity provided make recommendations improve its' standard. This study aims describe and/or as stated ten published inquiry reports related Irish services. Using thematic analysis,...
Abstract The objectives of this study were to develop a high-density chromosome bin map homoeologous group 7 in hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), identify gene distribution these chromosomes, and perform comparative studies with rice barley. We mapped 2148 loci from 919 EST clones onto chromosomes wheat. In the majority cases numbers significantly lower centromeric regions tended increase distal regions. level duplicated was 24% most being localized toward One hundred nineteen probes...
Objectives To examine the prevalence of positive lifestyle behaviours before and during pregnancy in Ireland. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Population-based study Participants A total 718 women predominantly Caucasian origin from Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS), Ireland, were included. Primary secondary outcome measures Positive behaviour changes Ireland on alcohol consumption, smoking, folate use nutrition. Results Of 1212 surveyed, (59%) responded. 26% adherent...
Depending on obstetric risk, maternity care may be provided in one of two locations at hospital level: a consultant-led unit (CLU) or midwifery-led (MLU). Care MLU is sparsely Ireland, comprising as few units out total 21 units. Given its potential for greater efficiencies and cost-savings the state, there has been an increased interest to expand MLUs Ireland. Yet, very little known about women's preferences care, whether they would utilise this service when presented with choice delivering...
