Acute Stroke Care in Ireland - The Role of a National Audit in Improving Care
MCELWAINE, PAUL (Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Clinical Medicine, 2020)Background: The 2008 Irish national audit of stroke service (INASC) showed large deficits in service provision and access. A national stroke programme emerged to develop services and address these deficits. The country ... -
Admissions for Orthostatic Hypotension: an Analysis of NHS England Hospital Episode Statistics Data
Romero-Ortuno, Roman; Kenny, Rose (2019)Objectives To determine whether admissions for orthostatic hypotension (OH) and its consequences, such as falls, have changed over the past 10 years in the National Health Service (NHS) England. Setting Data from NHS ... -
Age-related normative changes in cerebral perfusion: data from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)
Knight, Silvin; Kenny, Rose; Mc Morrow, Jason; Newman, Louise; Meaney, James; Williamson, Wilby (2021)Objective: To establish normative reference values for total grey matter cerebral blood flow (CBFGM) measured using pseudo-continuous arterial spin labelling (pCASL) MRI in a large cohort of community-dwelling adults aged ... -
Age-related sensory decline mediates the Sound-Induced Flash Illusion: Evidence for reliability weighting models of multisensory perception
Newell, Fiona; Kenny, Rose; Setti, Annalisa (2019)Perception of our world is proposed to arise from combining multiple sensory inputs according to their relative reliability. We tested multisensory processes in a large sample of 2920 older adults to assess whether sensory ... -
Amnesia for loss of consciousness is common in vasovagal syncope.
Kenny, Rose; Langan, Yvonne (2011)The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of amnesia for loss of consciousness (A-LOC) in those who have a history suggestive of vasovagal syncope (VVS) and who develop syncope on head-up tilt (HUT) table ... -
An investigation of the incidence of falling and risk factors for falls in adults with advanced cancer
Stone, Carol (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Medical Gerontology, 2012)The principal aims of this doctoral investigation were to identify the incidence of falls and risk factors for falling in adults with advanced cancer. -
An investigation of the safety, efficacy, and possible mechanisms of action, of the antihypertensive nilvadipine, in patients with mild moderate Alzheimer's disease
Kennelly, Sean (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Medical Gerontology, 2011)This doctoral investigation endeavoured to explore how patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) would respond to treatment with the antihypertensive nilvadipine. Initially I reviewed the complex relationship between blood ... -
Analysis and biophysical modelling of baroreflex stimulation with applications in syncope and falls : a neural engineering approach
Finucane, Ciarán (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Medical Gerontology, 2011)Carotid Sinus Hypersensitivity (CSH) is an age related disorder, and a common cause of recurrent falls and syncope in the elderly. CSH is prevalent in patients with Dementia and Parkinson's disease and is a strong predictor ... -
The Association between Blood Pressure, Cerebral Perfusion and Late Life Depression
BRIGGS, ROBERT (Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. CentreFor Medical Gerontology, 2020)Background: While late life is generally characterised by contentment and happiness, depression in later life confers an independently increased risk of early mortality, cognitive and functional decline and nursing home ... -

Associations between Cardiovascular Signal Entropy and Cognitive Performance over Eight Years
Romero-Ortuno, Roman; Knight, Silvin; Kenny, Rose; Newman, Louise (2021)In this study, the relationship between non-invasively measured cardiovascular signal entropy and global cognitive performance was explored in a sample of community-dwelling older adults from The Irish Longitudinal Study ... -
