• Increasing concerns about the specific needs and rates of mental illness among young adults have spurred the development of youth mental health services. Yet few outcome studies exist. This study aims to evaluate a young adult service in an independent mental health sector in Ireland.

    This is a service evaluation using a retrospective,…[Read more]

  • spital during that period. This study shows that targeted routine environmental surveillance programs to track organisms with major resistance phenotypes, coupled with disinfection procedures and follow-up microbiological cultures are useful to control these risks in sensitive areas of large veterinary hospitals.

  • Immunohistochemistry studies have also demonstrated the improved neuronal differentiation of BM-MSCs. BM-MSCs grown on electro-conductive collagen cryogels under inflammatory microenvironment in vitro showed high indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase activity. Moreover, macrophages cells grown on graphene collagen cryogels have shown high CD206 (M2…[Read more]

    Total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgeries are expected to exponentially increase in the upcoming years, likely because of the overall broader indication of THAs. With these developments, an increasing number of younger (< 50years) and active patients will receive surgical interventions, and expectations for an active lifestyle will accordingly i…[Read more]

    SCFT predictions obtained with this estimate of χ do not, however, adequately describe the thermodynamics of the coexisting bulk copolymer solution, as a result of contraction of the strongly interacting core block of dissolved copolymers. Accurate predictions of the relationship between bulk and interfacial properties can thus only be obtained…[Read more]

    Inguinal hernia repair (IHR) is a common operation in preterm and term infants. Recently, spinal anesthesia (SA) has been proposed as an alternative to avoid exposure to general anesthesia (GA) during early life. The aim of this study was to compare surgical outcomes of open IHR performed under SA versus GA in neonates and infants, and to detect…[Read more]

  • Veterinarians are considered leaders in animal welfare, but veterinary curricula often lack training in welfare. Our aims were to describe veterinary student values, assess whether a frame reflection assignment can encourage student willingness to engage with others with differing values surrounding animal welfare, and determine if sex and career…[Read more]
