Feasibility of Physical Fitness Measurements in Older Adults With Intellectual Disabilities Within Two Large Cohort Studies: The HA-ID and IDS-TILDA Study. [PDF]

J Intellect Disabil Res
ABSTRACT Background Research has shown significant underdiagnoses in adults with intellectual disabilities, highlighting the need for objective health measurements to prevent overshadowing. Physical fitness, crucial for health and functioning, is consistently poor in this population, increasing the risk of adverse outcomes.

Informing patterns of health and social care utilisation in Irish older people according to the Clinical Frailty Scale [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

HRB Open Research, 2021
Background: There is increasing policy interest in the consideration of frailty measures (rather than chronological age alone) to inform more equitable allocation of health and social care resources.

An Optimized Tat/Rev Induced Limiting Dilution Assay for the Characterization of HIV-1 Latent Reservoirs

Bio-Protocol, 2022
The administration of antiretroviral therapy (ART) leads to a rapid reduction in plasma viral load in HIV-1 seropositive subjects. However, when ART is suspended, the virus rebounds due to the presence of a latent viral reservoir. Several techniques have

An Improved Tat/Rev Induced Limiting Dilution Assay With Enhanced Sensitivity and Breadth of Detection

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Tat/Rev Induced Limiting Dilution Assay (TILDA) is instrumental in estimating the size of latent reservoirs of HIV-1. Here, we report an optimized TILDA containing a broader detection range compared to the reported methods and high sensitivity.

Sturnira tildae (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae)

Mammalian Species, 2022
Abstract Sturnira tildae de la Torre, 1959, Tilda’s yellow-shouldered bat, is a phyllostomid with wide geographic distribution across South America. It inhabits preferably lowland mature rainforests, but also has been captured in modified vegetation and tropical savannas, where it is less abundant.

The Importance of Age in the Prediction of Mortality by a Frailty Index: A Machine Learning Approach in the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing

Geriatrics, 2021
The quantification of biological age in humans is an important scientific endeavor in the face of ageing populations. The frailty index (FI) methodology is based on the accumulation of health deficits and captures variations in health status within ...
