The definitive version was published in Journal of the Geological Society 159 (2002): 95-103, doi: 10.1144/0016-764901034Dalradian meta-sediments of the Laurentian margin and mafic intrusions thereof in SW Connemara, Ireland, tectonically overlie meta-rhyolites of the Delaney Dome Formation. The two units are separated by the Mannin Thrust. A new U–Pb age of 474.6 ± 5.5 Ma shows that the Delaney Dome Formation is a temporal equivalent of arc volcanic rocks preserved in the adjacent South Mayo Trough: the Tourmakeady Volcanic Group, erupted during the collision of an oceanic island arc with the Laurentian margin in the Grampian Orogeny. New rare earth and high field strength element data show that the Delaney Dome Formation and Tourmakeady Volcanic Group are chemically similar and arc-like in character. This suggests that the Delaney Dome Formation is an along-strike equivalent of the Tourmakeady Group, strike-slip faulted south of the South Mayo Trough during or after the Grampian Orogeny. Further correlation of these units with northern Appalachian rhyolites is also possible. The Delaney Dome Formation is an extrusive temporal equivalent of intrusions that penetrate the Connemara Dalradian. Thus, movement along the Mannin Thrust brought mid-crustal plutons and Dalradian country rocks tectonically above the extrusive volcanic sequence. The Mannin Thrust is identified as a major imbricating structure within a continental arc, but not a terrane boundary
Social capital and self-rated health in the Republic of Ireland: evidence from the European Social survey
No full textThis paper analyses the determinants of self-reported health in Ireland, conditioning self-reported health on a set of socio-economic, labour market and social capital variables. Ireland has the highest self-reported health rate in Europe, a finding backed-up by other studies. Data were derived from the 2002 and 2005 European Social survey. The full 87,915 observations from both rounds were pooled and used to estimate mean self-rated health across Europe. The Irish data were isolated, totalling 2,049 individuals for 2002 and 2,286 individuals for 2005. The 2002 data were used to analyse the determinants of subjective health state, as it had a richer array of social capital variables. The results demonstrate statistically significant effects of income on self-reported health that are robust to different statistical specifications and statistically significant though modest effects of social capital variables such as associational membership and frequency of social meeting and labour market variables such as being on a limited as opposed to permanent contract
Management of postoperative ileus: focus on alvimopan
No full textEric L Marderstein, Conor P DelaneyDivision of Colorectal Surgery, Department of Surgery, University Hospitals Case Medical Center, Case Western, Reserve School of Medicine, Cleveland, Ohio, USAAbstract: Postoperative ileus (POI) is a transient loss of coordinated peristalsis precipitated by surgery and exacerbated by opioid pain medication. Ileus causes a variety of symptoms including bloating, pain, nausea, and vomiting, but particularly delays tolerance of oral diet and liquids. Thus POI is a primary determinant of hospital stay after surgery. ‘Fast-track’ recovery protocols, opioid sparing analgesia, and laparoscopic surgery reduce but do not eliminate postoperative ileus. Alvimopan is a mu opioid receptor antagonist that blocks the effects of opioids on the intestine, while not interfering with their centrally mediated analgesic effect. Several large randomized clinical trials have demonstrated that alvimopan accelerates the return of gastrointestinal function after surgery and subsequent hospital discharge by approximately 20 hours after elective open segmental colectomy. However, it has not been tested in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery and is less effective in patients receiving nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents in a narcotic sparing postoperative pain control regimen. Safety concerns seen with chronic low dose administration of alvimopan for opioid bowel dysfunction have not been noted with its acute use for POI.Keywords: alvimopan, postoperative ileus, gastrointestinal surger
“Irish English had to do with personal identity, and you can’t get rid of that”. An Interview with Juan José Delaney
No full textIn this interview, Irish-Argentine writer Juan José Delaney reflects upon his writing. His own cultural affiliation with both the Irish and the Argentinian culture come to the fore in his answers. Thus, when asked about his background he replies: “I have always been nourished by both the Argentinian and the Irish cultures”. Juan José Delaney was born in Buenos Aires in 1954. He is a fiction writer and essayist and he holds the chair in Twentieth Century Argentinean Literature at the Universidad del Salvador (Buenos Aires), where he also coordinates the Irish Studies Program. As a fiction writer, he has published the collections Papeles del Desierto (1974-2004), and Tréboles del Sur (1994), which has been recently reedited (2014). His novel, Moira Sullivan (1999), like many of his short stories, depicts the life of the Irish in Argentina, a topic that he returns to in his most recent nouvelle, Memoria de Theophilus Flynn (2012), which connects Waterford with Buenos Aires. He is also the author of a dramatic comedy entitled La viuda de O’Malley and the biography Marco Denevi y la sacra ceremonia de la escritura (2006). During the course of the interview he discusses cultural and linguistic assimilation issues that were conspicuous in the context of Irish emigration to Argentina
Mechanisms of turbulence, sexual intimacy challenges, and sexual communication in depressed couples
No full textSymptoms of depression can permeate people’s relationships, making depression an inherently interpersonal illness (Hames, Hagan, & Joiner, 2013; Rehman, Gollan, & Mortimer, 2008). Depressed couples are especially prone to unique and pervasive challenges to their sexual relationship (Baldwin, 2001; Cleveland Clinic, 2014; Delaney, 2016). Delaney (2016) documented depression-related sexual intimacy challenges as multi-layered and including lost libido, cognitive barriers, and interactive dilemmas, but a quantitative documentation of these challenges remains to be added to the literature. Sexual communication is linked to relationship and sexual satisfaction (Byers, 2005; Theiss & Solomon, 2007), but questions persist about best practices for defining and measuring sexual communication, and about the role communication about sex might play for depressed couples navigating sexual intimacy challenges. In this study, I integrated the premise of the marital discord model of depression (Beach, Sandeen, & O’Leary, 1990) with the logic of the relational turbulence model (Solomon & Knobloch, 2004) to hypothesize a model that positioned depressive symptoms as a predictor of mechanisms of turbulence (H1), mechanisms of turbulence as predictors of sexual intimacy challenges (H2), and sexual intimacy challenges as predictors of sexual satisfaction (H3). I also hypothesized that sexual intimacy challenges would negatively predict sexual communication (H4), which would positively predict sexual satisfaction (H5). A final hypothesis suggested that sexual communication would mediate the association between sexual intimacy challenges and sexual satisfaction (H6). I collected dyadic data from romantic couples in which one or both partners had been professionally diagnosed with a form of depression (N = 116) and used structural equation modeling to evaluate actor and partner effects. The final models offered mixed support for the hypothesized associations, as some paths were not statistically significant and path additions were necessary to achieve model fit. The modified models revealed that depressive symptoms and interference from a partner predicted sexual intimacy challenges in depressed couples. The findings also uncovered relational uncertainty and interference from a partner as negatively associated with sexual communication. Finally, the data suggested that sexual communication exhibits an indirect effect connecting sexual intimacy challenges to sexual satisfaction. The findings contribute to theorizing about depression in romantic relationships, about the relational turbulence model, and about sexual communication. Pragmatically, the results point to minimizing mechanisms of turbulence and improving sexual communication as important areas for intervention with depressed couples.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2018-12-01The student, Amelia Delaney, accepted the attached license on 2016-09-02 at 10:29.The student, Amelia Delaney, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2016-09-02 at 10:36.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2016-09-06 at 09:30.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #10140 on 2017-02-28 at 14:35:56Made available in DSpace on 2017-03-01T16:36:38Z (GMT).

Loes Nas on Kate Delaney and Andrzej Antoszek
No full textThis essay is a response to the essay “Americanization and Anti-Americanism in Poland: A Case Study, 1945-2006.” The author argues that Poland, Georgia, and South Africa tend to echo each other, even though they are arguably very different countries. It stresses that Poland and the Republic of Georgia, for example, were both subjected to Soviet influence and that this had consequences over the years in their views of the U.S. Nas is quite interested in Delaney and Antoszek’s argument that Poland is the least anti-American country in Europe, and suggests that it might be better to examine those attitudes as attitudes expressed above ground or underground. The essay also contemplates the possibility that Poland had more freedom than Georgia because it was never a formal part of the Soviet Union. And it contemplates the South African experience which highlights U.S. economic imperialism, even though Chinese influence now also needs to be examined.</p
Surgery in the US: Where are we now and Where are we Going?
No full text To understand surgery in the United States requires a basic understanding of healthcare delivery in the US. While one often sees comparisons of healthcare between countries, it is more appropriate to compare the US with the continent of Europe. Models of delivery of care range from large cities with high population density and large highquality hospitals with multiple subspecialties, to areas in the centre and west of the country where patients may have to travel several hundred miles to reach a small hospital with little capability for specialty care. Furthermore, each of the 50 states has different laws, different state governments and slightly different models, priorities and payment structures for care. </jats:p
