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 ... -
Collagen fibre orientation and dispersion govern ultimate tensile strength, stiffness and the fatigue performance of bovine pericardium
(2019)The durability of bovine pericardium leaflets employed in bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) can significantly limit the longevity of heart valve prostheses. Collagen fibres are the dominant load bearing component of bovine ... -
Comprehensive clinical characterisation of brain fog in adults reporting long COVID symptoms
(2022)(1) Introduction: A subset of individuals experiencing long COVID symptoms are affected by ‘brain fog’, a lay term that often refers to general cognitive dysfunction but one that is still poorly characterised. In this ... -

Effect of low recumbent angle on cycling performance, fatigue and VO2 kinetics.
(2013)Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effect of the degree of inclination from upright to supine postures on cycling performance, fatigue, and oxygen uptake (V˙O(2)) kinetics. Methods: In experiment 1, 10 subjects ... -
Factors that influence fatigue status in patients with severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and good disease outcome following 6 months of TNF inhibitor therapy: a comparative analysis
(2015)The objective of the present study is to determine the factors associated with persistent fatigue in patients with severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and good disease response to 6 months of tumour necrosis factor inhibitor ... -
Investigation into the Pathophysiology and the Objective Neurophysiological Measurement of Cancer-Related Fatigue in a Pre-Treatment Cancer Cohort
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Clinical Medicine, 2020)Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is one of the most common, debilitating, highly prevalent and unrelenting symptom experienced by patients through all stages of the cancer trajectory and often into survivorship (Berger et al., ... -
Irish Journal of Paramedicine
(Irish College of Paramedics, ireland, 2019-06-01)Commentary: Non-technical attributes in paramedicine: Is situational judgement testing the solution? / Ryan Bennett, Brett Williams -- Original Research Indicators of paramedic service use by community dwelling older adults ... -
Numerical Evaluation of Fatigue Strength on Mechanical Notched Components under Multiaxial Loadings
(Elsevier, 2011)This paper deals with the fatigue behaviour of complex, three-dimensional, stress concentrations under multiaxial loadings. Starting from the stress field obtained by means of a linear elastic analysis and taking advantage ... -
Perceptions of fatigue and fatigue management interventions among people with multiple sclerosis: A systematic literature review and narrative synthesis
(2021)Background/Aims: Fatigue is the most common symptom of multiple sclerosis. Evidence supports the effectiveness of fatigue management interventions for people with multiple sclerosis. This review aimed to identify how people ... -
Self-healing materials: What can nature teach us?
(2017)Natural materials such as bone and insect cuticle are capable of self-repair, a facility that greatly increases their durability and safe working stress. Some engineering materials have also been designed to be self-healing, ... -
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 ... -
Viral Hepatitis C Associated Neurocognitive Dysfunction in Ireland in the Direct Acting Antiviral (DAA) Era
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Psychology. Discipline of Psychology, 2020)Background & Aims: Neurocognitive dysfunction is common in the setting of cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy in individuals infected with the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). However, neurocognitive dysfunction has also been ...
