The aim of the study was to establish common, symptom-based case definition for gastroenteritis by comparing across four counteries
Abstract:
National studies determining the burden of gastroenteritis have defined gastroenteritis by its clinical picture, using symptoms to classify cases and non-cases. The use of different case definitions has complicated inter-country comparisons. We selected four case definitions from the literature, applied these to population data from Australia, Canada, Ireland, Malta and the United more...

The aim of this study was to examine surgical impression, histological findings and microbiological results at open appendicectomy
Abstract:
There is no accurate predictor of complications following open appendicectomy. Surgical impression, histological findings and peritoneal culture swabs have been used. The value of peritoneal culture swab was assessed in this study. All patients undergoing open appendicectomy between January 2003 and December 2005 were included in the study. During the 24-Month period, 952 patients more...

The aim of this study was to examine the number and clinical details of term infants delivered by elective caesarean section who were admitted to neonatal intensive care from 1st April 2001 to 31st March 2002
Abstract:
Delaying the timing of elective caesarean section (ELCS) from 37/38 weeks to 39/40 weeks reduces the risk of respiratory morbidity in otherwise healthy neonates. The aims of this study were to clarify the number and clinical details of term infants delivered by ELCS who were admitted to neonatal intensive care (NIC) from 1st April 2001 to 31st March 2002 in Northern Ireland, to record more...

The aim of this study was to describe paternally transmitted copy of common Valine allele of the Val66Met polymorphism of the brain derived neurotrophic factor gene with susceptibility to attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder
Abstract:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common, highly heritable, neurodevelopmental disorder with onset in early childhood. Genes involved in neuronal development and growth are, thus, important etiological candidates and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), has been hypothesized to play a role in the pathogenesis of ADHD. BDNF is a member of the neurotrophin family more...

The aim of this study was to examine neonatal thyroid-stimulating hormone screening and population iodine

Background: The distribution of neonatal blood thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) concentrations has been used as an index reflecting population dietary iodine intake, with higher concentrations being indicative of lower iodine intake. We examined this distribution in neonates born in Ireland, where the pregnant population has shown a recent decline in urinary iodine (UI) excretion. Our more...

The effectiveness of advice to women to take folic acid supplements is limited, mainly because 50% of pregnancies are unplanned. However, mandatory folic acid food fortification programmes in North America have been very successful in reducing NTD more...
