  • Pharmacologically induced long-term enhancement in the hippocampus in vivo 

    Hayes, Jennifer (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2007)
    The present study investigated the mechanisms underlying a pharmacologically induced long-term enhancement (LTE) of fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the CA1 region of the rat hippocampus in vivo. The role of ...
  • Prescribing for institutionalised older people 

    Flint, Helen Mary (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2003)
    Introduction: In order to investigate aspects of prescribing practice and drug administration in institutionalised older people, the following aims for the study were developed; -- To compare prescribing practices between ...
  • Prescription refill models of medication taking behaviour 

    Barron, T. Ian (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2009)
    Medication taking can be defined in terms of two separate and distinct behaviours; adherence and persistence. These behaviours represent the ways in which a patient may take a treatment correctly; namely, acting in accordance ...
  • Prostate cancer pharmacoepidemiology : digoxin, aspirin and patient outcomes 

    Flahavan, Eva (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2013)
    Pharmacoepidemiology is the study of the effects of medicines in a real-world population; combining pharmacology, the study of medicines, with epidemiology the study of diseases. Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed ...
  • Regulation of expression of transcription factors nuclear factor-kappa B and early growth response-1 by Helicobacter pylori 

    Abdel-Latif, Mohamed Mahmoud Mohamed (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2002)
