Frequent inaccuracies in ABCD(2) scoring in non-stroke specialists' referrals to a daily Rapid Access Stroke Prevention service.
O'Neill, Desmond; Coughlan, Tara; Mc Cabe, Dominick; Kennelly, Sean; Collins, Daniel; Bradley, David (2013)Abstract The ‘accuracy’ of age, blood pressure, clinical features, duration and diabetes (ABCD2) scoring by non-stroke specialists referring patients to a daily Rapid Access Stroke Prevention (RASP) service is unclear, ... -
High on-treatment platelet reactivity on commonly prescribed antiplatelet agents following transient ischaemic attack or ischaemic stroke: results from the TRinity AntiPlatelet responsiveness (TRAP) study.
Coughlan, Tara; O'Neill, Desmond; Tierney, Sean; Collins, Daniel (2013)Background and purpose The prevalence of ex vivo ‘high on-treatment platelet reactivity’ (HTPR) to antiplatelet regimens in patients with ischaemic cerebrovascular disease (CVD) is uncertain. Methods HTPR was assessed ... -
Increased platelet activation in early symptomatic versus asymptomatic carotid stenosis and relationship with microembolic status: Results from the Platelets And Carotid Stenosis (PACS) Study.
Coughlan, Tara; O'Neill, Desmond; Doherty, Colin; Colgan, Mary; Collins, Daniel (2013)Abstract Background: Cerebral microembolic signals (MES) may predict increased stroke risk in carotid stenosis. However, the relationship between platelet counts or platelet activation status and MES in symptomatic ... -
Prevalence of Ex Vivo High On-treatment Platelet Reactivity on Antiplatelet Therapy after Transient Ischemic Attack or Ischemic Stroke on the PFA-100(®) and VerifyNow(®).
Coughlan, Tara; O'Neill, Desmond; Collins, Daniel (2013)The prevalence of ex vivo high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) to commonly prescribed antiplatelet regimens after transient ischemic attack (TIA) or ischemic stroke is uncertain. METHODS: Platelet function ... -
Sexual Dimorphism in Healthy Aging and Mild Cognitive Impairment: A DTI Study.
Coughlan, Tara; O'Neill, Desmond; Bokde, Arun; Collins, Daniel (2012)Previous PET and MRI studies have indicated that the degree to which pathology translates into clinical symptoms is strongly dependent on sex with women more likely to express pathology as a diagnosis of AD, whereas men ... -
Stroke in young women: An interpretative phenomenological analysis.
O'Neill, Desmond; Coughlan, Tara; Collins, Daniel (2014)Stroke among adults of working age is increasing. We aimed to explore the experience of stroke among young women in Ireland. In total, 12 women (aged between 18 and 50 years) participated in semi-structured interviews. ... -
Using support vector machines with multiple indices of diffusion for automated classification of mild cognitive impairment.
Coughlan, Tara; O'Neill, Desmond; Bokde, Arun; Collins, Daniel (2012)Few studies have looked at the potential of using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in conjunction with machine learning algorithms in order to automate the classification of healthy older subjects and subjects with mild ...
