Research just published in the leading international journal “Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy” outlines research on the effectiveness of a blood test in identifying the presence of Alzheimer’s disease. The research carried out in the Institute of Memory & Cognition at TUH looked at the performance of a new blood test (plasma p-tau217) to detect the "amyloid plaques" that build up in the brain in people with Alzheimer's disease. The study, led by Dr. Adam Dyer, Geriatric Medicine Trainee (Specialist Registrar/SpR), TUH & Medical Gerontology, Trinity College Dublin examined the performance of this new blood test (plasma p-tau217) by using samples from the "biobank” which has been established at the TUH Institute of Memory & Cognition. As part of this biobank, patients who have symptoms and are undergoing a diagnostic lumbar puncture for the detection of Alzheimer’s disease opt to donate cerebrospinal fluid and blood samples for future research. This is crucial in examining the performance of these new blood tests in real-world clinical cohorts. You can learn more about the research via this link: http://www.tuh.ie/!UFNC55 Note this research was funded by the The Meath Foundation and the Irish Clinical Academic Teaching (ICAT) programme.

We are fortunate at TUH that the arts and their inclusion in the very fabric of the Hospital are supported throughout the year with exhibitions, live music in our atrium, music therapy on the wards. Today we were treated to a 43 piece ensemble the Ricciotti Ensemble from the Netherlands. The Ricciotti Ensemble plays symphonic music everywhere & for all. Visiting Ireland on their ‘Shamrock Shuffle’ tour, we were delighted to host a visit. The 43 enthusiastic professional & amateur musicians treated patients, visitors & staff to some wonderful music. They played in our atrium, in our age related unit, Vartry Renal Unit and Oncology Dayward, finishing up with a lively concert outside for staff and patients. The music put a smile on everyone's faces, we wish them well as they move on to Galway and Cork. Míle Buíochas to all involved in organising and coordinating their visit.
