(Wiley, 2017-03)Misuse of (±)-threo-methylphenidate (methyl-2-phenyl-2-(piperidin-2-yl)acetate; Ritalin®; MPH) has long been acknowledged, but the appearance of MPH analogs in the form of 'research chemicals' has only emerged in more ... -
The synthesis and characterization of the ‘research chemical’ N-(1- amino-3-methyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-1-(cyclohexylmethyl)-3-(4-fluorophenyl) -1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide (3,5-AB-CHMFUPPYCA) and differentiation from its 5,3-regioisomer.
(Wiley, 2016-09)This study presents the identification of N-(1-amino-3-methyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-1- (cyclohexylmethyl)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide that was termed 3,5-AB-CHMFUPPYCA. This compound was obtained from a ... -
Preparation and characterization of the ‘research chemical’ diphenidine, its pyrrolidine analogue, and their 2,2-diphenylethyl isomers.
(Wiley, 2015-05)Substances with the diphenylethylamine nucleus represent a recent addition to the product catalog of dissociative agents sold as research chemicals on the Internet. Diphenidine, i.e. 1-(1,2-diphenylethyl)piperidine ... -
Synthesis, characterization and monoamine transporter activity of the new psychoactive substance mexedrone and its N-methoxy positional isomer, N-methoxymephedrone.
(Wiley, 2017-03)3-Methoxy-2-(methylamino)-1-(4-methylphenyl)propan-1-one (mexedrone) appeared in 2015 and was advertised by UK Internet retailers as a noncontrolled mephedrone derivative (2-(methylamino)-1-(4- methylphenyl)propan-1-one), ... -
Test purchase, synthesis and characterization of 3-fluorophenmetrazine (3-FPM) and differentiation from its ortho- and para-substituted isomers
(Wiley, 2017-03)The knowledge captured in patent and scientific research literature stimulates new ideas and fosters new drug development efforts. Manufacturers and entrepreneurs dedicated to the sale of ‘research chemicals’ and/or ... -
Synthesis, characterization and monoamine transporter activity of the new psychoactive substance 3’,4’-methylenedioxy-4-methylaminorex (MDMAR).
(Wiley, 2015-07)The recent occurrence of deaths associated with the psychostimulant cis-4,4'-dimethylaminorex (4,4'-DMAR) in Europe indicated the presence of a newly emerged psychoactive substance on the market. Subsequently, the existence ... -
Fear-avoidance following musculoskeletal injury in male adolescent Gaelic footballers.
(Human Kinetics, 2019-03)CONTEXT: Gaelic football participation provides a wealth of benefits but a risk of musculoskeletal injury also exists. Injury is associated with physical consequences, including pain, discomfort, loss of function, time ... -
HIIT enhances endurance performance and aerobic characteristics more than high-volume training in trained rowers.
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)This study compared the effects of long slow distance training (LSD) with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in rowers. Nineteen well-trained rowers performed three tests before and after an 8-week training intervention: ... -
Results from Ireland's 2014 Report Card on Physical Activity in Children and Youth
(Human Kinetics, 2014)BACKGROUND: Physical activity (PA) levels are a key performance indicator for policy documents in Ireland. The first Ireland Report Card on Physical Activity in Children and Youth aims to set a robust baseline for future ... -
Fundamental movement skill proficiency in juvenile Gaelic games.
(Springer, 2018-04)Background Fundamental movement skills (FMS) are basic observable patterns of movement and prerequisites to successful performance of sports specific skills. International research has found that children are not reaching ... -
Advanced nurse practitioners’ (emergency) perceptions of their role, positionality and professional identity.
(2016)Nursing theorists have reviewed the contexts and continua into which advanced nursing practice roles in emergency care have evolved and developed, yet little empirical evidence has been gleaned directly from advanced ... -
Influence of reactive and maximum strength indicators on sprint performance.
(Wolters Kluwer, 2018)The primary aim of this study was to assess the relationship between reactive and maximal strength measures with 40 m sprint performance and mechanical properties. Fourteen male and fourteen female sprinters participated ... -
Reactive strength index: a poor indicator of reactive strength?
(Human Kinetics, 2018-07)Purpose: The primary aim was to assess the relationships between reactive strength measures and associated kinematic and kinetic performance variables achieved during drop jumps. A secondary aim was to highlight issues ... -
Synthesis, analytical characterization and monoamine transporter activity of the new psychoactive substance 4- methylphenmetrazine (4-MPM), with differentiation from its ortho- and meta- positional isomers
(Wiley, 2018-09)The availability of new psychoactive substances on the recreational drug market continues to create challenges for scientists in the forensic, clinical and toxicology fields. Phenmetrazine (3-methyl-2-phenylmorpholine) ... -
