ODaly B, Ridgway P, Keenan N, Sweeney K, Brophy D, Hill A, et al.
Can J Surg . 2009 Jun; 52(3):201-6. PMID: 19503664
Background: Predicting the clinical course in adhesional small bowel obstruction is difficult. There are no validated clinical or radiologic features that allow early identification of patients likely to require surgical...

Ridgway P, Sheikh A, Sweeney K, Evoy D, McDermott E, Felle P, et al.
Med Educ . 2007 Feb; 41(2):168-72. PMID: 17269950
Background: Distance learning has been advocated increasingly as a modern efficient method of teaching surgery. Efficiency of knowledge transfer and validity of web-based courses have not been subjected to rigorous...

ODaly B, Sweeney K, Ridgway P, Quinn C, McDermott E, OHiggins N, et al.
J Am Coll Surg . 2007 Jan; 204(2):282-5. PMID: 17254932
Background: Evaluating the size of multifocal breast cancer for staging purposes is problematic. Historically, the largest tumor focus in isolation has been used to stage multifocal disease and determine optimum...

Tormey S, Malone C, McDermott E, OHiggins N, Hill A
Clin Breast Cancer . 2006 Apr; 6 Suppl 2:S51-7. PMID: 16595027
Approximately 20 million women worldwide use hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Formerly, it was thought to confer beneficial cardiac protection and reduce osteoporosis in addition to relieving the symptoms of menopause....

Kelly L, Buggy Y, Hill A, ODonovan N, Duggan C, McDermott E, et al.
Tumour Biol . 2005 Jul; 26(4):213-6. PMID: 16006775
The BRMS1 (breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1) gene has been found to suppress metastasis in animal models without inhibiting primary tumor growth. The aim of this study was to measure...

Healy D, Fleming F, Gilhooley D, Felle P, Wood A, Gorey T, et al.
BMC Med Educ . 2005 Jul; 5:23. PMID: 15987526
Background: Our institution recently introduced a novel internet accessible computer aided learning (iCAL) programme to complement existing surgical undergraduate teaching methods. On graduation of the first full cycle of undergraduate...

Myers E, Hill A, Kelly G, McDermott E, OHiggins N, Buggy Y, et al.
Clin Cancer Res . 2005 Mar; 11(6):2111-22. PMID: 15788656
Purpose: Associations between p160 coactivator proteins and the development of resistance to endocrine treatment have been described. We hypothesized that nuclear receptor coregulatory proteins may interact with nonsteroid receptors. We...

Teh S, Hill A, Foley D, McDermott E, OHiggins N, Young L
J Cell Biochem . 2004 Mar; 91(4):796-807. PMID: 14991771
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) serves as a modulator of survival in breast cancer cells. The mechanisms by which bFGF transduces the anti-apoptotic signal and interacts with COX inhibitors were...

Fleming F, Hill A, McDermott E, OHiggins N, Young L
J Clin Endocrinol Metab . 2004 Jan; 89(1):375-83. PMID: 14715875
Estrogen receptor (ER)-alpha and ER-beta function as transcription factors, and both interact with nuclear regulatory proteins to enhance or inhibit transcription. We hypothesized that coregulators are expressed in breast cancer...

ODriscoll L, Linehan R, Kennedy S, Cronin D, Purcell R, Glynn S, et al.
Cancer Lett . 2003 Nov; 201(2):225-36. PMID: 14607338
The expression of transcripts for anti-apoptotic (survivin, survivin-deltaEx3, survivin-2B, galectin-3, bag-1 and bcl-2) and pro-apoptotic (bax-alpha) genes, and for multiple drug resistance related protein-1 (MRP-1) gene were investigated, using RT-PCR,...
