Symposium on 'The challenge of translating nutrition research into public health nutrition'. Session 3: Joint Nutrition Society and Irish Nutrition and Dietetic Institute Symposium on 'Nutrition and autoimmune disease'. Recent advances in genetic understanding of coeliac disease.
(2009)Over the past 20 years major advances have been made in the diagnosis and understanding of pathogenic mechanisms relating to coeliac disease. Recently-identified genetic markers support the immunological?inflammatory nature ... -
Symptoms and problem clusters in cancer and non cancer patients in specialized palliative care - is there a difference?
(2014)CONTEXT: In clinical practice, some symptoms and problems frequently occur in combination, which may have consequences for symptom management. OBJECTIVES: Facing a growing number of non-cancer patients in palliative ... -
Synthesis and characterisation of aerosolised MIF inhitibitors for the treatment of respiratory disease
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Clinical Medicine, 2019)The main focus of this PhD thesis was to investigate the synthesis and characterisation of an aerosolised poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanodrug delivery system for MIF enzyme inhibitors to modulate the physiological ... -
Syphilis and HIV co-infection in Dublin; strategies to enhance diagnosis, investigation and management
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Clinical Medicine, 2011)Following historically low levels of reported cases of syphilis in Dublin in the 1990s there was a large outbreak of syphilis reported in 2001. Numerous interventions were implemented and the rates again decreased in 2003. ... -
Syphilis consequences and implications in delayed diagnosis: five cases of secondary syphilis presenting with ocular symptoms.
(2010)Ocular manifestations of syphilis are uncommon. Five cases of ocular syphilis are presented, in four of which there was a delay in diagnosis. Four of the patients were men who have sex with men (MSM), and four patients ... -
T Helper 2 Cytokines Inhibit Autophagic Control of Intracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(Elsevier, 2007)Autophagy is a recently recognized immune effect or mechanism against intracellular pathogens. The role of autophagy in innate immunity has been well established, but the extent of its regulation by the adaptive immune ... -
Targeted polyethylene glycol gold nanoparticles for the treatment of pancreatic cancer: from synthesis to proof-of-concept in vitro studies.
(2016)Abstract: The main objective of this study was to optimize and characterize a drug delivery carrier for doxorubicin, intended to be intravenously administered, capable of improving the therapeutic index of the chemotherapeutic ... -
Targeting nuclear factor-kappa B to overcome resistance to chemotherapy.
(2013)Intrinsic or acquired resistance to chemotherapeutic agents is a common phenomenon and a major challenge in the treatment of cancer patients. Chemoresistance is defined by a complex network of factors including multi-drug ... -
Taste disturbance in patients with advanced cancer: a scoping review of clinical features and complications
(2023)Purpose: The purpose of this scoping review is to appraise the published literature on taste disturbance in patients with advanced cancer, with the specific objectives being to determine its prevalence, clinical features ... -
TB osteomyelitis
(Oxford University Press, 2016)Osteoarticular TB is very rare and as such, physicians are less experienced in diagnosing osteoarticular TB. This is compounded by the fact that the diagnosis of osteoarticular TB is difficult to achieve. Therefore, awareness ... -
Testing reported associations of genetic risk factors for oral clefts in a large Irish study population.
(2010)BACKGROUND Suggestive, but not conclusive, studies implicate many genetic variants in oral cleft etiology. We used a large, ethnically homogenous study population to test whether reported associations between nonsyndromic ... -
The application of metabolomics to human nutrition research
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Clinical Medicine, 2008)Background: Recent developments in analytical technologies and bioinformatics are driving modem advances in biological research. Many of these methods will have particular relevance in the field of nutrition. Among these ... -
The clinical characterisation and genetic epidemiology of familial ALS in Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Clinical Medicine, 2013)The overall objective of this thesis is to collate the existing literature on familial ALS and to address shortcomings in the research, to investigate aggregation of ALS and other conditions among relatives of patients ... -
The effects of conjugated linoleic acid on the human immune system
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Clinical Medicine, 2003)The cells of the immune system are sensitive to their exogenous environment. Indeed the amount and type of nutrients, including fatty acids, which this environment contains all influence subsequent immune cell functioning. ... -
