The aim of the study was to examine traditional and otic capsule classification system of temporal bone fractures for clinical relevance
Abstract:

Design: A retrospective review of all patients with a radiological diagnosis of a skull-base fracture over a 5-year period. Setting: All patients were seen at Beaumont Hospital, the national tertiary referral centre for Neuro-otology. Participants: Patients more...

The aim of this study was to describe the clinical features and assess the prevalence of Familial Glucocorticoid Deficiency amongst Irish Travelers in the Republic of Ireland and describe their phenotype.
Abstract:
Context: Familial glucocorticoid deficiency (FGD) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by distinct clinical, biochemical, and genetic abnormalities. The prevalence of FGD is unknown, with the likelihood that cases remain undiagnosed. We noted a significant proportion of our FGD cases are Irish Travelers. Irish Travelers are an endogamous nomadic group ethnically and more...

The aim of this study was to examine mitochondrial cytopathies and the associated phenotypic heterogeneity
Abstract:
Mitochondrial respiratory chain disorders account for significant and varied presentations in paediatric practice. The true prevalence of these disorders in the paediatric population is still not well documented with predicted geographic variation. We report a retrospective analysis over a seven year period of cases presenting to a tertiary care centre and associated clinical features. more...

This study aimed to examine attitudes in patients aged 6-17 years (from the UK and Ireland) who had participated in a trial comparing insulin detemir (Levemir, Novo Nordisk, Denmark) with NPH in a multi-injection therapy for type 1 diabetes.
Abstract:
Trials in young people with diabetes are commonly perceived to be problematic because of participants' rejection of authority and issues with adherence. Attitudes were examined in patients aged 6-17 years (from the UK and Ireland) who had participated in a trial comparing insulin detemir (Levemir, Novo Nordisk, Denmark) with NPH in a multi-injection therapy for type 1 diabetes. Most more...

This study examined robotically assisted minimally invasive surgery
Abstract:
Introduction: Reports of robotically assisted minimal access surgery (RMAS) in the adult patient population have increased over the last several years. Few reports have addressed RMAS in pediatric patients. We present our initial RMAS experience with the da Vinci(registered trademark) Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, California), and discuss technical considerations, more...

This study examined the efficacy and tolerability of combination antiretroviral therapy in pregnancy
Abstract:
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) and Caesarean section (CS) delivery significantly reduce the risk of vertically transmitted HIV infection. Attention must focus on determining the optimal management strategy for HIV-positive pregnancies. Guidelines must reflect not only the activity and tolerability of combination ART in pregnancy for mother and infant and the potential short and long-term more...
