Associations between neurocardiovascular signal entropy and physical frailty
(2021)In this cross-sectional study, the relationship between noninvasively measured neurocardiovascular signal entropy and physical frailty was explored in a sample of community-dwelling older adults from The Irish Longitudinal ... -
Cardiovascular signal entropy predicts all-cause mortality: evidence from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)
(2022)In this study, the relationship between cardiovascular signal entropy and the risk of seven-year all-cause mortality was explored in a large sample of community-dwelling older adults from The Irish Longitudinal Study on ... -
Changes in Muscle Strength and Physical Function in Older Patients During and After Hospitalisation: a Prospective Repeated-Measures Cohort Study
(2020)Aim: To investigate changes in knee-extension strength and physical function in older adults during and after acute hospital admission, and the contributions of illness severity, frailty and sedentary activity to changes ... -
Characterising the Blood Pressure Response to Physical Counterpressure Manoeuvres Using Surface Electromyography in Adults with Long Covid
(2023)Objective: Orthostatic intolerance (OI) is common in Long Covid. Physical counterpressure manoeuvres (PCM) may improve OI in other disorders. We characterised the blood pressure-rising effect of PCM using surface ... -
Comparative analysis of frailty identification criteria on continuous non-invasive neurocardiovascular signals during an active stand test in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)
(2023)Frailty is a distinctive health state related to acceleration of biological ageing in which multiple body systems disproportionately lose their in-built reserves. Older people living with frailty are at higher risk of ... -
“Dancing with Atoms”: A tribute to Sheila Tinney
(2023)The authors present a short dynamic visualization titled “Dancing with Atoms”, produced in honor of the late Irish mathematical physicist Sheila Tinney (1918--2010), the first Irish-born and -raised woman to receive a ... -
Differential Associations Between Two Markers of Probable Sarcopenia and Continuous Orthostatic Hemodynamics in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing
(2022)Background: Sarcopenia and orthostatic hypotension are growing age-related health burdens associated with adverse outcomes including falls. Despite a possible pathophysiological link, the association between the two disorders ... -
Do The Frail Experience More Adverse Events From Intensive Blood Pressure Control? A 2-Year Prospective Study In The Irish Longitudinal Study On Ageing (TILDA)
(2022)Background: The 2018 European Society of Cardiology/European Society of Hypertension (ESC/ESH) guidelines for management of hypertension in adults aged ≥65 years recommend a blood pressure (BP) treatment target of 130–139/70–79 ... -
Eight orthostatic haemodynamic patterns in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA): stability and clinical associations after 4 years
(2021)Previous research cross-sectionally characterised eight morphological systolic blood pres-sure (SBP) active stand (AS) patterns using a clinical clustering approach at Wave 1 (W1) of the IrishLongitudinal Study on Ageing. ... -
Frail by Different Measures: A Comparison of 8-year Mortality in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)
(2021)Purpose: We compared the ability of four frailty identification tools (frailty phenotype: FP; FRAIL scale; 32-item Frailty Index: FI; and Clinical Frailty Scale: CFS) to predict 8-year mortality in TILDA. Methods: We ... -
Frail by four different measures and new adverse events from lower blood pressure control in hypertensive older adults: a 2-year prospective study in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)
(2022)Background: The 2018 European Society of Cardiology/European Society of Hypertension (ESC/ESH) guidelines for management of hypertension in adults aged ≥65 years recommend a blood pressure (BP) treatment target of 130–139/70–79 ... -
Functional clustering of continuous cardiovascular and brain oxygenation signals during an active stand test in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)
(2023)In this study, we performed K-shape functional clustering of two non-invasive continuous cardiovascular (systolic Blood Pressure: sBP) and brain oxygenation (left frontal lobe Tissue Saturation Index: TSI) times series ... -
Hospital-associated deconditioning: not only physical, but also cognitive
(2022)Introduction Hospital-associated deconditioning (HAD) or post-hospital syndrome is well recognized as reduced functional performance after an acute hospitalization. Recommendations for the management of HAD are still ... -
Longitudinal trajectories of pulse wave velocity and cognition in the Irish longitudinal study of ageing (TILDA)
(2021)Introduction: Arterial stiffness is a marker of vascular ageing and carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) is a standard measurement method. A raised cf-PWV in individuals has been associated cross-sectionally with ... -
The prediction of mortality from continuous noninvasive cardiovascular signals on standing: entropy was significant, but not the overall response profile
(2022)In this study, a novel approach is presented using principal component analysis and sample entropy (SampEn) for the analysis of continuous blood pressure (BP) data measured non-invasively during an active stand (AS) in ... -
A systematic review of persistent symptoms and residual abnormal functioning following acute COVID-19: Ongoing symptomatic phase vs. post-COVID-19 syndrome
(2021)Objective: To compare the two phases of long COVID, namely ongoing symptomatic COVID-19 (OSC; signs and symptoms from 4 to 12 weeks from initial infection) and post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS; signs and symptoms beyond 12 ...
