Highlights
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common occurrence in children
We evaluated the expression of circadian gene transcription following mild Traumatic Brain Injury to understand the processes involved in sleep disturbance following mTBI
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus has long been regarded as a chronic illness, and current standards of care aimed at slowing progression and alleviating symptoms
Summary
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common occurrence in children. Patients recovering from TBI are prone to sleep-wake cycle disturbances [1], which indicates disruption of the circadian rhythm mechanisms that regulates sleep [2]. Patients report a relatively high disease burden, with significant effect on their energy levels and mood, causing considerable problems with fatigue and depression Use of this questionnaire has exposed areas of importance for patients which might not otherwise come to light in standard clinical consultation settings. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that surgery significantly improved functional scores and that rates of surgical revision of THA in Cork are low This is comparable to rates found in Australia, who benefit from a national joint registry which provides evidence-based guidelines. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the potential for rmPCR to reduce the time until a blood culture result is available to guide antibiotic de-escalation It echoes trends shown in similar studies and while it does not achieve statistical significance, this is most likely due to small sample size. Results were analysed by t-test with P-values
