• Coxian phase-type modelling and time series forecasting of patient length of stay and hospital overcrowding 

  Rizk, Jean (University of Limerick, 2020)

  Hospital overcrowding is defined as the condition where the num ber of patients exceeds the healthcare system capacity and resources (Hoot and Aronsky, 2008). Long durations of stay are the main cause of overcrowding, ...
• Trust the patient not the doctor: the determinants of quality of life in cervical dystonia 

  Ndukwe, Ihedinachi; O' Riordan, Sean; Walsh, Cathal Dominic (Frontiers Media, 2020)

  Statistical errors are common in many biomedical fields.1–5 We believe the nature and impact of these errors to be great enough in sports science and medicine to warrant special attention.6–14 Poor methodological and ...
• Asymptotic reductions of the diffuse-interface model with applications to contact lines in fluids 

  Benilov, Eugene (American Physical Society, 2020)

  The diffuse-interface model (DIM) is a tool for studying inter facial dynamics. In particular,it is used for modeling contact lines,i.e.,curves where a liquid, gas, and solid are in simultaneous contact. As well as all ...
• Examining what factors mediate treatment effect in chronic low back pain: a mediation analysis of a cognitive functional therapy clinical trial 

  O'Neill, Aoife; O'Sullilvan, Kieran; O'Sullivan, Peter B.; Purtill, Helen; O'Keeffe, Mary (Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2020)

  Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT) is a physiotherapist-led individualised intervention for people with people with non-specific chronic low back pain (CLBP), involving biopsychosocial pain education, graded movement ...
• Response of sport horses to different formulations of equine influenza vaccine 

  Entenfellner, Johanna; Gahan, Jacinta; Garvey, Marie; Walsh, Cathal Dominic; Venner, Monica; Cullinane, Ann (MDPI, 2020)
