Ageing, cognitive disorders and professional practice.
O'Neill, Desmond; Reid, Alexander (2013)Background: the workforce is ageing. The contribution of older workers is considerable. Their occupational health profiles differ from those of younger workers. Objective: we wished to establish whether consideration ... -
Characteristics and outcomes of older persons attending the emergency department: a retrospective cohort study.
O'Neill, Desmond; Romero-Ortuno, Roman; Coughlan, Tara; Kennelly, Sean (2014)Background: The analysis of routinely collected hospital data informs the design of specialist services for at-risk older people. Aim: Describe the outcomes of a cohort of older emergency department (ED) attendees and ... -
Driving as a travel option for older adults: Findings from the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing
O'Neill, Desmond; Gormley, Michael (2019)The role of transport in the health and wellbeing of older people is increasingly recognized: driving is the main form of personal transportation across the adult life-span. Patterns of changed mobility and driving cessation ... -
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 ... -
Non-collision injuries in urban buses: strategies for prevention
O'Neill, Desmond; Simms, Ciaran (2009)Public transport is a potentially important part of independent living for older people, but they are over-represented in non-collision bus injuries. This paper reports on a computational modelling approach to addressing ... -
Nursing home residents attending the emergency department: clinical characteristics and outcomes.
O'Neill, Desmond; Coughlan, Tara; Kennelly, Sean; Briggs, Robert (2013)Nursing home (NH) residents represent the frailest group of older people, and providing gerontologically attuned care that addresses these frailties is often a challenge within the emergency department (ED). This study ... -
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 ... -
Residential Long-Term Care and the Built Environment: Balancing Quality of Life and Infection Control
O'Neill, Desmond; O'Donoghue, Jennifer (2023)Objectives: This article explores expert insights into residential long-term care (RLTC), specifically regarding the built environment, its impact on infection control (IC) measures and on resident, staff, and family ... -
Retrospective analysis of attitudes to ageing in the Economist: apocalyptic demography for opinion formers.
O'Neill, Desmond (2009)Objective To investigate the description of older people and ageing in a major weekly newspaper, influential in political and financial circles, to see whether it reflected ageing in a balanced manner, and to what extent ... -
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 ... -
