Evaluation of renal function following treatment with 5-aminosalicylic acid derivatives in patients with ulcerative colitis
(John Wiley, 2002)BACKGROUND: A number of cases of nephrotoxicity have been reported in patients with inflammatory bowel disease taking oral 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA). AIM: To evaluate the effects of 9 months of therapy with mesalazine ... -
Evidence for model-based computations in the human amygdala during Pavlovian conditioning.
(2013)Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have been widely explored as potential technologies for information systems and medical applications. The impact of SWCNTs on human health is of prime concern, if SWCNTs have a future ... -
Evolution of the Cerebellar Cortex: Selective expansion of prefrontal-projecting lobules
(2009)It has been suggested that interconnected brain areas evolve in tandem because evolutionary pressures act on complete functional systems rather than individual brain areas. The cerebellar cortex has reciprocal connections ... -
Exaction of the optic disk boundary in digital fundus images
(IEEE, 1999)The methods of active contours (?snakes?) and level sets were applied to images of the retina in order to locate the outer boundary of the optic disk. A gradient-vector-flow based active contour was used as it performed ... -
Examining the Role of the Noradrenergic Locus Coeruleus for Predicting Attention and Brain Maintenance in Healthy Old Age and Disease: An MRI Structural Study for the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative.
(2021)The noradrenergic theory of Cognitive Reserve (Robertson, 2013-2014) postulates that the upregulation of the locus coeruleus-noradrenergic system (LC-NA) originating in the brainstem might facilitate cortical networks ... -
Excitation-induced coherence in a semiconductor microcavity
(American Physical Society, 2002)We measure the dephasing times of high finesse semiconductor microcavities in the strong coupling regime using degenerate four-wave mixing. We find that under certain excitation conditions (near-normal incidence) the ... -
Excited state dependent electron transfer of a rhenium-dipyridophenazine complex intercalated between the base pairs of DNA: a time-resolved UV-visible and IR absorption investigation into the photophysics of fac-[Re(CO)3(F2dppz)(py)]+ bound to either [poly(dA-dT)]2 or [poly(dG-dC)]2.
(2011)The transient species formed following excitation of fac-[Re(CO)3(F2dppz)(py)]+ (F2dppz = 11,12-difluorodipyrido[3,2-a:2?,3?-c]phenazine) bound to double-stranded polynucleotides [poly(dA-dT)]2 or [poly(dG-dC)]2 have ... -
Exciton line broadening in CdxZn1?xTe/ZnTe multiple quantum wells
(American Institute of Physics, 1988)We have investigated Cdx Zn1?xTe/ZnTe multiple quantum wells using absorption techniques. We have observed sharp excitonic features at low temperatures which strongly broaden at room temperature. The strength of the ... -
An experimental and theoretical analysis of jitter in self-pulsating lasers synchronized to periodic electrical signals
(1996)We investigate both experimentally and theoretically the behavior of pulse jitter in compact disk (CD) self-pulsating lasers that have been synchronized to an applied periodic electrical signal. Our investigations reveal ... -
Explaining International Differences in Rates of Overeducation in Europe
(ESRI, 2010-12-22)This paper examines the factors determining variations in international rates of overeducation. We find significant effects for a range of factors including labour market structural imbalances, risk, trade-union density ... -
Exploring Public Opposition to Active Travel Planning in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown: Synthesis Report
(Trinity College Dublin, 203)Ireland needs to halve its transport sector emissions by 2030 to meet international decarbonisation targets (Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications, 2022). In light of nearly three- quarters of journeys ... -
Exploring the challenges experienced by people with muscular dystrophy living independently (MD INDOLIVING)
(University of Dublin Trinity College, 2016)This study follows up on the national survey undertaken in 2014 by Muscular Dystrophy Ireland (MDI) in which a questionnaire was distributed to all MDI members (n=697). Significantly, 69% of respondents reported that ... -
Expression of CD44 and its variants on gastric epithelial cells of patients with Helicobacter pylori colonisation
(BMJ, 1996)BACKGROUND--Studies have suggested that expression of the adhesion molecule CD44 may be of prognostic importance in gastric cancer. In addition, there is strong evidence that Helicobacter pylori has a role in gastric cancer. ... -
Expression of CD44 on rheumatoid synovial fluid lymphocytes
(BMJ, 1995)OBJECTIVES--To investigate the involvement of the adhesion molecule CD44 in the homing of lymphocytes to synovial tissue, by examining the density of expression and molecular mass of CD44 on rheumatoid synovial fluid ... -
Extending the Construct Network of Trait Disinhibition to the Neuroimaging Domain: Validation of a Bridging Scale for Use in the European IMAGEN Project
(2019)Trait disinhibition, a clinical-liability construct, has well-established correlates in the diagnostic, self-rating, task-behavioral, and brain potential response domains. Recently, studies have begun to test for neuroimaging ... -
Extracranial and Intracranial Vasculopathy With "Moyamoya Phenomenon" in Association With Alagille Syndrome.
(2019)Background: Alagille syndrome (AGS) is an autosomal-dominant, multisystem disorder caused by mutations in the JAG1 gene. Case Description: A 34-year-old man was referred to our service 10 years ago with focal seizures ... -
Extracting Separate Responses to Simultaneously Presented Continuous Auditory Stimuli: An Auditory Attention Study
(2009)Auditory Evoked Potentials (AEPs) have been used extensively in the study of auditory attention. Some weaknesses of standard AEP paradigms include (i) stimulation is discrete in nature and thus not very ecological and ...
