The relationship between syncope, depression and anti-depressant use in older adults
(2014)The authors aim to examine the rates of depression in older patients reporting syncope and the effect of anti–depressants (ADs) on the rates of syncope. This study demonstrates an increased risk of syncope in patients with ... -
Relationships of low serum vitamin D3 with anthropometry and markers of the metabolic syndrome and diabetes in overweight and obesity
(BioMed Central, 2008)Low serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D3 (vitamin D3) is known to perturb cellular function in many tissues, including the endocrine pancreas, which are involved in obesity and type II diabetes mellitus (TIIDM). Vitamin D3 insufficiency ... -
Renal function, cardiovascular disease and long term outcome in different cohorts of the Glasgow population
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Clinical Medicine, 2011)Over the past ten to fifteen years, the interaction between cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD) has come under increased scrutiny. Traditional cardiovascular risk factors are also associated with the ... -
Replication and exploratory analysis of 24 candidate risk polymorphisms for neural tube defects.
(2014)Background: Neural tube defects (NTDs), which are among the most common congenital malformations, are influenced by environmental and genetic factors. Low maternal folate is the strongest known contributing factor, making ... -
Replication of a distinct psoriatic arthritis risk variant at the IL23R locus
(2016)Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory arthritis associated with the presence of psoriasis. Although the majority of PsA genetic risk loci identified also confer risk for psoriasis, the difference in ... -
Respiratory measures in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(2018)Objective: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neuromuscular disease that causes skeletal muscle weakness, including muscles involved with respiration. Death often results from respiratory failure within ... -
Response: Disseminated tuberculosis.
(Oxford University Press, 2017)Lymphopaenia is described among patients with tuberculosis.The lymphocyte count for the patient in our publication prior to treatment was 0.8 (1–2 1016ml). At the time of writing, he is still receiving his anti-tuberculous ... -
Resting-state electroencephalographic biomarkers for tracking cognitive network dysfunction in amyotrophiclateral sclerosis
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Clinical Medicine, 2024)Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) stands as a multifaceted neurological disorder that primarily affects both upper and lower motor neurons. However, research in neuroimaging, neuropsychology and neurobiology has shown ... -
Retrospective analysis of attitudes to ageing in the Economist: apocalyptic demography for opinion formers.
(2009)Objective To investigate the description of older people and ageing in a major weekly newspaper, influential in political and financial circles, to see whether it reflected ageing in a balanced manner, and to what extent ... -
Riboflavin lowers homocysteine in individuals homozygous for the MTHFR 677C->T polymorphism.
(2006)Background? Meta-analyses predict that a 25% lowering of plasma homocysteine would reduce the risk of coronary heart disease by 11% to 16% and stroke by 19% to 24%. Individuals homozygous for the methylenetetrahydrofolate ... -
Riboflavin status modifies the effects of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and methionine synthase reductase (MTRR) polymorphisms on homocysteine
(2014)Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and methionine synthase red uctase (MTRR), riboflavin- dependent enzymes, participat e in homocysteine metabolism. Reported effects of riboflavin status on the ... -
Risk management framework for nano-biomaterials used in medical devices and advanced therapy medicinal products
(2020)The convergence of nanotechnology and biotechnology has led to substantial advancements in nano-biomaterials (NBMs) used in medical devices (MD) and advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMP). However, there are concerns ... -
A role for IL-25 and IL-33-driven type-2 innate lymphoid cells in atopic dermatitis.
(2013)Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s, nuocytes, NHC) require RORA and GATA3 for their development. We show that human ILC2s express skin homing receptors and infiltrate the skin after allergen challenge, where they produce ... -
A role for TLR4 in Clostridium difficile infection and the recognition of surface layer proteins.
(2011)Clostridium difficile is the etiological agent of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea (AAD) and pseudomembranous colitis in humans. The role of the surface layer proteins (SLPs) in this disease has not yet been fully explored. ... -

The role of canonical and non-canonical inflammasomes in a model of oxidative stress-induced retinal degeneration
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Clinical Medicine, 2024)Retinal degenerative diseases like age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are a leading cause of visual impairment. Oxidative stress is known to be important in the pathogenesis of AMD, and oxidative-stress induced retinal ... -
