Manganese: a new contrast agent for lung imaging?
(2012)Lung parenchyma remains one of the most difficult tissues to be imaged by means of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Several MRI techniques are routinely used for lung imaging. However, manganese-enhancement MRI ... -
The manufacture of fixed dose combination products using advanced pharmaceutical techniques for the treatment of cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Pharmacy & Pharma. Sciences. Discipline of Pharmacy, 2020)The thesis has focused on the use of continuous manufacturing techniques to produce fixed dose combination (FDC) products for the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). FDC products with ... -
Matrix metalloproteinase-9 modulates intestinal injury in rats with transmural colitis.
(2006)Proteolysis and degradation of extracellular matrix by metalloproteinases (MMPs) may contribute to intestinal injury in inflammatory bowel disease. In the present study, we investigated the pathogenic role of gelatinases ... -
Matrix metalloproteinases in inflammatory bowel disease: an update
(2015)Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are known to be upregulated in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other inflammatory conditions, but while their involvement is clear, their role in many settings has yet to be determined. ... -
Measuring and benchmarking safety culture: application of the safety attitudes questionnaire to an acute medical admissions unit.
(2009)Objectives: To assess the safety culture in an acute medical admissions unit (AMAU) of a teaching hospital in order to benchmark results against international data and guide a unit-based, integrated, risk management ... -
Mechanisms of aggregation inhibition by aspirin and nitrate-aspirin prodrugs in human platelets
(2012)OBJECTIVES: Aspirin is the mainstay of anti-platelet therapy in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. However, problems with aspirin safety and resistance demand clinical strategies based on multiple ... -

(2012)Objectives Aspirin is the mainstay of anti-platelet therapy in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. However, problems with aspirin safety and resistance demand clinical strategies based on multiple pharmacological ... -
Mechanistic aspects of the degradation and drug release properties of poly-alpha-hydroxyl aliphatic ester nano- and microparticle
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2000)Particulate systems based on the polymers of lactic and glycolic acids have been extensively investigated as drug delivery technologies, particularly as vehicles to achieve controlled release. The release kinetics from ... -
Mechanistic studies into the effect of deoxycholic acid on oesophageal cancer initiation and progression
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2015)Oesophageal cancer is the ranked as the fifth highest cancer in terms of cancer-related deaths worldwide and has an incidence rate that is increasing by 5% annually. Survival rates for oesophageal cancer are approximately ... -
Mechanistics aspects of the release of drugs from hydrophilic polymer matrices
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2001)Hydrophilic polymers, which both swell and erode, are widely used to produce sustained release of drugs from monolithic matrices, and have been extensively reviewed in the literature (Alderman 1984), (Peppas and Korsmeyer ... -
Mechanochemical activation with cyclodextrins followed by compaction as an effective approach to improving dissolution of rutin
(2020)Rutin is one of the most important flavonoids with poor bioavailability. This work aimed at addressing the issue of poor biopharmaceutical performance of rutin by applying a combination of complexation with secondary ... -
Mechanochemical Synthesis and Physicochemical Characterisation of Multicomponent Phases Comprising Lidocaine and Dicarboxylic Acids
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Pharmacy & Pharma. Sciences. Discipline of Pharmacy, 2023)Tuning of physicochemical properties of multicomponent phases incorporating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with counterions or coformers is a challenge that opens up unlimited possibilities for expanding applications ...
