Can bacterial virulence factors predict antibiotic resistant Helicobacter pylori infection?
Smith, Sinead; Mc Namara, Deirdre (2018)AIM: To evaluate the association between virulence factor status and antibiotic resistance in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-infected patients in Ireland. METHODS: DNA was extracted from antral and corpus biopsies ... -
Capsule endoscopy with artificial intelligence-assisted technology: Real-world usage of a validated AI model for capsule image review
Mc Namara, Deirdre (2023)Background and study aims Capsule endoscopy is a time-consuming procedure with a significance error rate. Artificial intelligence (AI) can potentially reduce reading time significantly by reducing the number of images ... -
Colon capsule endoscopy is a viable alternative to colonoscopy for the investigation of intermediate- and low-risk patients with gastrointestinal symptoms: results of a pilot study
Mc Namara, Deirdre (2021)Background and study aims: Colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) is a recommended viable alternative to colonoscopy for colonic visualisation in a variety of clinical settings with proven efficacy in polyp detection, surveillance, ... -
Comparing Colon Capsule Endoscopy To Colonoscopy; A Symptomatic Patient?s Perspective
Mc Namara, Deirdre (2022)Background Colon Capsule Endoscopy (CCE) has proven efficacy in a variety of gastrointestinal diseases. Few studies have assessed patient-reported outcomes and preference between colonoscopy and CCE. Methods Patients ... -
Development of significant disease in a cohort of patients with non-specific enteritis on capsule endoscopy: clinical suspicion and a high base line Lewis score are predictive of Crohn's disease.
Mc Namara, Deirdre (2020)Background: As with isolated ileitis the findings of nonspecific small bowel enteritis (NSE) on capsule endoscopy (CE) poses a clinical challenge. There is lack of available evidence to help clinicians to predict significant ... -
Dye-based chromoendoscopy following polypectomy reduces incomplete polyp resection.
Mc Namara, Deirdre; O'Morain, Neil R.; Syafiq, Mohd I.; Shahin, Ammar; Ryan, Barbara; Crowther, Stephen (2020)Background and study aims: The completeness of a polyp resection is an important determinant of quality in colonoscopy, and may reduce incidence of interval cancers. Incomplete resection rates (IRR) vary widely and range ... -
Gastrointestinal manifestations in a patient with common variable immunodeficiency syndrome.
Mc Namara, Deirdre; Christopher, B.; Ismail, M.S.; Kirca, M. (2019)A 57 yo male with a background history of common variable Immunodeficiency syndrome (CVID) on Immunoglobulin Infusion (Kiovig) 40mg three weekly was referred for investigation of diarrhoea and follow up from previous history ... -
Key research questions for implementation of artificial intelligence in capsule endoscopy.
Mc Namara, Deirdre (2022)Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly infiltrating multiple areas in medicine, with gastrointestinal endoscopy paving the way in both research and clinical applications. Multiple challenges associated with ... -
Lower gastrointestinal symptoms and symptoms-based triaging systems are poor predictors of clinical significant disease on colonoscopy.
Mc Namara, Deirdre (2020)Introduction: Lower gastrointestinal symptoms (LGS) are a common cause of referral to the gastroenterology service. International guidelines are available to prioritise referrals. Some studies have reported that symptoms ... -
Molecular detection of Helicobacter pylori antibiotic resistance in stool vs biopsy samples
Smith, Sinead; Mc Namara, Deirdre (2016) -
Nomenclature and Definition of Atrophic Lesions in Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy: An International Delphi Consensus Statement of the International CApsule Endoscopy REsearch (I-CARE) Group.
Mc Namara, Deirdre (2022)Background: Villous atrophy is an indication for small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE). However, SBCE findings are not described uniformly and atrophic features are sometimes not recognized; (2) Methods: The Delphi technique ... -
Performance measures for small-bowel endoscopy: a European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) Quality Improvement Initiative.
Mc Namara, Deirdre (2019)The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) together with the United European Gastroenterology (UEG) recently developed a short list of performance measures for small-bowel endoscopy (i.e. small-bowel capsule ... -
Shared changes in angiogenic factors across gastrointestinal vascular conditions: A pilot study
Mc Namara, Deirdre; Douglas, Atiyekeogbebe R.; Holleran, Grainne; Smith, Sinead M. (2020)BACKGROUND Neovascularisation is common to a variety of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders with differing aetiologies and presentations; usually affecting adults above 60 years. Shared angiogenic factors modulated by disease ... -
Single or double headed capsules for the investigation of suspected small bowel bleeding: Are two heads better than one.
Mc Namara, Deirdre (2022)Background: Capsule endoscopy is now the accepted first line investigation for suspected small bowel (SB) bleeding. Recent evidence suggests the diagnostic yield for SB pathology may be higher for tailored double headed ... -
Small-bowel capsule endoscopy and device-assisted enteroscopy for diagnosis and treatment of small-bowel disorders: European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) Guideline - Update 2022.
Mc Namara, Deirdre (2023)This Guideline is an official statement from the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE). It is an update of the previously published 2015 ESGE Clinical Guideline addressing the role of small-bowel ... -
