Neurovascular Catheter Measurement System Development For Process And Design Effect Evaluation
Authors:   ,   Munster Technological University, Merz Cathal
Published: August 2024

Neurovascular guide catheters are used to treat problems affecting blood vessels within the brain through minimally invasive procedures. Catheters are inserted into the patient via their femoral or brachial arteries and manually navigated to the brain to deliver treatment. This procedure replaces the requirement to cut into the patient’s skull and brain tissue but is limited by reduction of blood vessel lumen diameter and increase in tortuosity of blood vessels deep in the brain. During these procedures, catheters can sometimes fail by kinking or fracturing into two pieces. The rate of failure by fracture of a particular neurovascular catheter device is seen as unacceptably high by its manufacturer. Investigation into the cause of this failure has been carried out using test methods performed by hand. However, these test methods are not standardised and are largely based on the intuition or expertise of the person carrying out the test. Nevertheless, these tests are commonly used as there are no international standards for measuring the mechanical properties of neurovascular catheter shafts. The aim of the current research is to address this discrepancy in the biomedical device industry by developing a standardised measurement system to replace the manual test methods. The most significant contribution from this research is the fulfilment of this aim. The resulting measurement system can be used to quantify the effect of process and design changes on catheter performance, aiding in the development of better performing, next generation neurovascular catheters to be used in future cutting-edge surgeries. It is the first of its kind to achieve sensitivity great enough to quantify the effect of varying lamination temperature on the catheter’s resistance to kinking. This measurement system was developed using materials testing frames, preconditioning of specimens, micro-CT imaging, DOE, ANOVA, and t-tests. Additional outcomes from this research are review of applicability of simple tensile, buckle, three-point bend tests and four-point bend tests for the measurement of the effect of varying lamination temperature on the catheter’s resistance to kinking. Additionally, the sequence of events within the neurovascular catheter structure leading to failure have been identified.
Defining The Potential Of Gene Therapy With Bone Morphogenetic Proteins As A Novel Therapeutic Approach In Parkinson's Disease
Authors:   ,   Munster Technological University, Goulding Susan
Published: August 2024

Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder, characterised by the progressive degeneration of midbrain dopaminergic neurons, and the intracellular aggregation of the α-synuclein protein in neurons throughout the nervous system. These changes result in the characteristic motor impairments in Parkinson’s disease. Current treatments are solely symptomatic and therefore there is an unmet clinical need to develop new disease-modifying therapies that can alter disease progression. For over 25 years, one proposed experimental therapy has focused on the delivery of proteins called neurotrophic factors to the brain to prevent dopaminergic neuron degeneration. However, to date, clinical trials using the most well-known neurotrophic factors have not met their primary endpoints, likely as a result of the down regulation of their signalling receptor called Ret. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to investigate the efficacy of two Ret-independent neurotrophic factors called GDF5 and BMP2 using in vitro and in vivo models of PD. The main findings of this thesis were that GDF5 and BMP2 protected dopaminergic neurons and their axons from neurotoxin- and α-synuclein-induced degeneration, which is the protein that accumulates in the brains of people with Parkinson’s disease. Moreover, intranigral delivery of an AAV vector carrying the human GDF5 transgene protected dopaminergic neurons and their terminals from α-synuclein-induced degeneration in vivo. This thesis has also identified two clinically approved drugs that were capable of modulating the signalling pathway used by GDF5 and BMP2 to exert their effects on dopaminergic neurons. These compounds, called Quinacrine and Niclosamide, promoted dopaminergic neuron survival, and protected these neurons from neurotoxin- and α-synuclein-induced axonal degeneration. 2 The wider implications of these findings are that they support the conclusion that neurotrophic factor therapy remains a viable therapeutic approach for patients with PD, and they have identified new therapeutics for the future development of neurotrophic factor therapy in Parkinson’s disease.
The Use Of Mycobacteriophages As A Novel Therapeutic Option To Control And Treat Johne's Disease
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, Crowley Gillian
Published: August 2024

The incidences of Johne’s disease (JD) in farms worldwide have increased significantly over the last 80 years. The increase in JD is owing to the lack of diagnostic tests available and the long incubation period of the disease causing pathogen, Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP). In addition, treatment of JD with antibiotics has proven difficult due to the emergence of antibiotic resistance MAP strains and the presence of the thick lipid rich mycobacterial cell wall. An alternative diagnostic and treatment method for JD involves the use of mycobacteriophages. As part of this research, individual mycobacteriophages (TM4) and a mycobacteriophage cocktail (LE1 to LE6) were utilised to develop a mycobacteriophage based diagnostic and viability assay for MAP. The first part of the study was to develop a preliminary optimisation assay utilising the fast growing mycobacterial strain; M.smegmatis mc2 155. The premise of the assay was; (a) if the drug is not effective against killing mycobacteria, mycobacterial cells would remain viable and mycobacteriophage would infect these cells causing an increase in plaque forming units over a four hour time period and (b) If the drug is effective against mycobacteria, then the mycobacterial cells would no longer be viable, therefore the mycobacteriophage have no cells to infect and plaque forming units will remain equivalent over time. The use of the mycobacteriophage TM4 proved to be effective in determining drug susceptibilities as M.smegmatis mc2 155 was determined to be sensitive to Isonazid, Rifampicin, Pyranzaimide and Ethambutol (plaque numbers increased) and resistant to Ampicillin, Erythromycin, Amoxicillin, Streptomycin as plaque numbers remained static. The second part of the study was aimed to utilise the optimisation conditions devised from the first part and implement them against six Irish MAP field isolates in order to assess their drug susceptibility profiles. The six MAP strains all yielded resistance to Ampicillin, Streptomycin, Erythromycin and Amakacin as plaque numbers increased over 4 hours. The six MAP strains also yielded resistance to Rifampicin, Isoniazid and Clindamycin as plaque numbers remained static over 4 hours. Resistance levels for three MAP strains against Vancomycin, Ciproflaxin, Clofazimine and Cefdinir were moderate and for the remaining MAP strains drug sensitivity was high against Trimethoprim, Tetracycline and Doxycycline. A mycobacteriophage cocktail was applied for comparison against an individual mycobacteriophage to ensure that the addition of extra phage didn’t interfere with the fidelity of the assay. Drug susceptibility profiles were identical to the profiles obtained in utilising one mycobacteriophage type (TM4).
Development Of An Automated Method For Csf Bilirubin Measurement.
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, Caverley Helen
Published: August 2024

"Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is a potentially fatal condition which can be difficult to accurately diagnose. Patients often present with a second bleed which can be more damaging than the initial bleed. Diagnosis of SAH centres on computed tomography (CT) scans. However, 2% of patients positive for SAH will present as negative on CT scans. It is recommended that these patients have lumbar puncture and the CSF is analysed for bilirubin. The presence of bilirubin is suggestive of SAH. Spectrophotometric scanning involves expensive equipment which is often not available in routine settings. A need exists for a robust, inexpensive, automated method for CSF bilirubin measurement. This project adapted the serum bilirubin method in routine use in Biochemistry Cork University Hospital (CUH ), in order to achieve bilirubin measurement at levels in nmol/l. This level of sensitivity would be required for CSF bilirubin measurement. The adapted method was found to be precise, linear, and sensitive at low levels. The method was compared to the gold-standard spectrophotometric method and found to correlate well. The new method is promising as a screening method to correctly identify: 1) Patients negative for SAH who require no further intervention 2) Patients who may be positive for SAH and should proceed for spectrophotometric scanning."
The Role Of Software Engineering In Bioinformatics
Authors:   ,   Munster Technological University, Lawlor Brendan
Published: August 2024

This thesis proposes that by applying state-of-the-art software engineering tools, techniques and frameworks to currently recognised challenges in bioinformatics, improved outcomes can be attained in that field. It begins by decomposing software engineering into two categories, namely process and architecture, and choosing two key challenges in the practice of bioinformatics: reproducibility and scalability. The body of the thesis is an exploration of the intersection between these two software engineering categories and these two bioinformatics challenges. The question is asked: Can best practices in professional software engineering be applied to address key issues in the bioinformatics domain, creating positive outcomes? And can this be done without placing an extra burden on an already multidisciplinary field of study? This is answered by reasoned argument with reference to current literature, and by experiment through a series of proof of concept implementations and their related published papers. In addition, a case study is presented where software engineering processes and technologies are used in a number of bioinformatic projects, and from this a novel taxonomy of the roles of code in bioinformatics is constructed. The conclusion is firstly that the application of software engineering elements from the two categories named above enhances reproducibility and scalability in bioinformatics, and secondly, that an intelligent integration of software engineering as a service into bioinformatics research, informed by the aforementioned taxonomy, is possible. Having demonstrated both efficacy and feasibility, this thesis concludes by recommending ways in which bioinformatic research teams move towards such integration.
Gender, Role Models, Entrepreneurial Self-efficacy And Career Intentions: Implications For Entrepreneurial Education
Authors:   ,   Munster Technological University, Lavelle - O Brien Ciara
Published: August 2024

This thesis explores gender, role models, entrepreneurial self-efficacy and career intentions of secondary school students in Ireland. Most prior research includes entrepreneurial education as an important factor in the decision to start a business. Few studies include the importance of entrepreneurial perceptions, role models, self-efficacy, and career intentions combined and what implications this may have for entrepreneurial education. Previous studies cite the importance of role models for potential entrepreneurs but ignore how the role model is perceived or who the role models of this generation (Gen Z) are. This study used a semistructured questionnaire and the Repertory Grid Technique (RGT) to elicit the views of 125 secondary school students (aged fourteen to eighteen) from the Munster region in Ireland. The key findings indicate that entrepreneurs are predominantly male, perceptions of key characteristics differ between males and females, role models for males and females are very different but that entrepreneurial career intentions are present for both males and females. Furthermore urban students have higher entrepreneurial career intentions than their rural counterparts. In terms of self-efficacy males ranked themselves higher in all skills of entrepreneurial activity assigning lower value only to creative skills and managing money. The females assigned higher value to creative skills and managing money. Several areas where information is lacking were highlighted in the literature review of this study. From a pedagogically perspective, this study provides actionable insights for entrepreneurship education practice in the future, as well as government policy and legislation. This study adds to the literature in the areas of entrepreneurship education, gender, role models, entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial career intentions. By using novel methodological methods such as the repertory grid technique and drawings and reflection this research provides greater insight into student perceptions.

Authors:   ,   Munster Technological University, Nyhan Laura
Published: August 2024

Experimental findings highlighted the importance of model validation in real food matrices, while the study was the first to report on modelling of propionic acid in combination with other hurdles for inhibition of Listeria. Following this, the efficacy of indirect impedance (using the Rapid Automated Bacterial Impedance Technology; R.A.B.I.T. system) for measuring growth rates of L. innocua in the afore-mentioned food matrices under similar environmental conditions was investigated. Although growth rates were determined in several different experimental conditions in all three test matrices, growth of L. innocua was not detected in a large number of conditions, highlighting the limitations associated with the technology for determining microbial growth rates. Subsequently, Lux technology was evaluated as an alternative to traditional plate counts for determining growth rates of Listeria in foods under ix varying conditions of pH, water activity and organic acids. Results showed that specific growth rates determined using Lux technology were not significantly different from those obtained using plate counts, highlighting the potential of the method as a rapid alternative to plating techniques. The combinatorial effect of bioengineered nisin derivatives on Listeria growth was explored, with enhanced anti-listerial activity observed when peptides were used in combination with each other, compared to when each was used singly. Importantly, the enhanced activity of the selected nisin peptide combinations was maintained in a model food system. Finally, the use of ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) as an alternative to traditional mercury UV lamps for the inactivation of L. monocytogenes and three other microorganisms (Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium and Bacillus subtilis) on a plastic surface and in powdered food ingredients was investigated, with results highlighting the efficacy of the method and its potential for future application in the food industry. In conclusion, this work has investigated the use of predictive tools, novel antimicrobial strategies and alternative enumeration methods with the overall aim of controlling the growth of Listeria in foods and thus, improving food safety.
Is There A Mass Market For Ethical Fashion In Ireland?
Authors:   ,   Institute of Technology Tralee, Quinn Shirley
Published: August 2024

"The following research dissertation was carried out with the intention of solving the question of whether there is a mass market for ethical fashion in Ireland. To answer this question, awareness of ethics in fashion among Irish consumers was investigated, along with general attitudes to ethical fashion, and whether ethics affects fashion purchase behaviour. The research was carried out over the space of six months and comprised a triangulated multi-method approach, consisting of primary and secondary research. Quantitative descriptive research was conducted through a questionnaire and the primary qualitative method used was a focus group. Secondary research took the form of a literature review. A sample size of 120 was used for the questionnaire and there were five participants of the focus group. Non-probability sampling in the form of convenience sampling was the sampling method used. The research discovered that there does not appear to be a mass market for ethical fashion in Ireland at the moment. It was found though that there may be potential for a niche market in the future. However more awareness of ethical issues in relation to fashion is required if this is to happen. Wider distribution of ethical fashion brands is also needed, along with ethical fashion companies placing more emphasis on promoting their clothing range. The study also found that it seems ethics has little impact on consumers’ clothing purchase behaviour, and that ethical fashion appears to be most associated with being expensive and with fair-trade."
Clostridium Difficile: Comparative Evaluation Of Two Detection Techniques And Characterisation Of Clinical Isolates.
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, Dennehy Rebecca
Published: August 2024

Clostridium difficile is one of the most common causes of antibiotic associated diarrhoea. The presence of C difficile in stool samples may be detected by a variety of means including enzyme immunoassays and culture. Enzyme immunoassays detect the presence of the toxins produced by the organism, toxin A and/or toxin B, but are known to lack sensitivity. The aim of this study was to compare the commercial ELISA assay currently used for the detection of C difficile toxins in Waterford Regional Hospital to culture for the organism to selective media. To compare the sensitivity of the two methods serial dilutions of a C difficile Ribotype 027 isolate were tested by culture and the toxin assay, and culture was determined to be the more sensitive method. 497 clinical stool samples were tested for C. difficile, 39 were positive by both culture and the toxin assay, 47 were positive by culture alone and 8 were positive by the toxin assay alone, giving an overall prevalence rate of 19%. 91% of samples were from hospital inpatients and 36% of positive samples were from patients in the 75 to 85 age bracket. The 86 C. difficile isolates were tested for toxin production, 60 isolates were toxin producers while 26 were toxin non-producers. 32 of the 60 toxin producing isolates had been negative by original stool toxin analysis, 28 had been positive. 11 of the 26 toxin non-producing isolates had been positive on original stool toxin analysis, 15 had been negative. 36 stool samples which had been toxin A/B positive either from stool and/or culture were tested for the presence of toxin A to determine if toxin A-negative, B-positive (A“B^) strains were present, 25 of these samples were negative for toxin A giving a prevalence rate of 69.4% for C. difficile toxin A"B^ strains. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed on all cultured isolates and on a C. difficile Ribotype 027 isolate. 17 clindamycin-resistant A"B^ strains were found. None of the isolates had the same antibiogram as the Ribotype 027 isolate. This along with the low prevalence of this ribotype in Ireland suggests that Ribotype 027 is not present in the patient population of Waterford Regional Hospital. Genotypic analysis was carried out using the Automated Riboprmter (DuPont Qualicon™). Analysis indicated that the EcoRl restriction enzyme in combination with ribotyping produced poor resolution for genotypic analysis of C difficile.
Living With Pku: The Lived Experience Of Irish Adults With Early Diagnosed Phenylketonuria On Long Term Dietary Therapy
Authors:   ,   Institute of Technology Tralee, O'Shea Mary-Ellen
Published: August 2024

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare genetic condition affecting the body’s ability to metabolise the amino acid phenylalanine (PHE). A build-up of PHE in the blood and brain can result in irreversible intellectual disability and developmental delays. Ireland has one of the highest prevalence rates of PKU in Europe and some of the earliest treated patients with PKU in the world. However, little is known about their lived experience with PKU. Furthermore, cost-benefit analysis of treatments for rare diseases in Ireland is principally based on quantitative data. More qualitative data is needed to highlight the quality of life experienced by people with PKU living in Ireland and to facilitate a comprehensive Health Technology Assessment (HTA) process in the context of rare conditions. The aim of the current research is to elicit quality of life as experienced by adults with PKU on long term dietary therapy living in Ireland and add to the existing body of literature based on qualitative lived experience research. A voluntary sample of 11 participants were recruited with assistance from the PKU Association of Ireland. Data was collected using phenomenological semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis was guided by Colaizzi’s Framework (1978) in conjunction with nVivo. Two overarching themes were identified within the data: PKU: An Illness and PKU: A Lifestyle. Participants expressed these views simultaneously when discussing life with PKU. Pertinent subthemes include barriers and facilitators in adhering to dietary therapy, wellbeing, psychosocial implications of the PKU regime, fertility, difficulty transitioning to adult services, concern for older age, hope for future developments and implications of government policy. These findings offer new insight into the quality of life experienced by adults with PKU living in Ireland. As the participant group are one of the oldest PKU communities on long term dietary therapy, this research also makes an international contribution to understanding the PKU experience.

O objetivo deste texto é trazer um relato de uma oficina de educação patrimonial, em que o exercício do olhar sobre elementos de arte decorativa presente em edificações da porção sudoeste da cidade histórica de Cachoeira, Bahia, proporcionou às pessoas participantes a reflexão sobre tais signos e a relação destes com a história local. Elementos integrados à arquitetura cachoeirana passam, muitas vezes, despercebidos na rotina diária da cidade e, para romper com essa invisibilidade, é preciso uma leitura visual dos bens culturais que compõem o município. Desse modo, a oficina propôs a apreciação (leitura sígnica) de forma prática, percorrendo o núcleo urbano, identificando elementos, desenhando-os, atribuindo-lhes significados e compartilhando conhecimentos e impressões acerca dos signos bidimensionais e tridimensionais visitados. O resultado da experiência mostrou que cada participante pôde – a partir da observação, da prática do desenho e da atribuição de significados – fazer sua própria leitura visual da cidade e trocar experiências de forma coletiva.
