Quantification of risk-benefit in interventional radiology (2008)
The increased use of interventional radiological procedures brings with it an increased risk of cancer induction due to the possible high radiation levels used. This risk must be balanced against any...
Conlon, N., O'Brien, B., Herbison, G. P., Marsh, B.
Background Intensive care unit (ICU) re-admission identifies a high-risk group in terms of hospital mortality, length of stay, and resource utilization. Only hospital and ICU mortality are well...

Examining self-focus: Does a mirror induce self-thought or attention to internal states? (2006)
O'Brien, B., Macdonald, G., Mavor, Kenneth I.
The present study investigates whether the effects of mirror exposure on behaviour and affect can be attributed to increased self-thought or increased attention to internal states. Sitting either in...

Longitudinal wave-propagation modes along a positive column (1965)
O'Brien, B., Gould, R. W., Parker, J.
Measurements have been made of the propagation of waves along the positive column of mercury discharge with characteristic velocities of the order of the speed of sound for the electron gas,...
Independent in vitro assembly of a ribonucleoprotein particle containing the 3' domain of 16S rRNA.
Samaha, R R, O'Brien, B, O'Brien, T W, Noller, H F
Small (30S) subunits of Escherichia coli ribosomes are composed of 21 proteins and a 1542-nucleotide 16S rRNA, whose secondary structure is divided into three domains. An in vitro transcript of the...
Development and application of a monoclonal antibody against Thiothrix spp.
Brigmon, R L, Bitton, G, Zam, S G, O'Brien, B
Historically, methods used to identify Thiothrix spp. in environmental samples have been inadequate because isolation and identification procedures are time-consuming and often fail to separate...
Development, dissemination, implementation and evaluation of a clinical pathway for oxygen therapy
Wong, C, Visram, F, Cook, D, Griffith, L, Randall, J, O'Brien, B, ...
BACKGROUND: Oxygen is commonly administered to patients in hospital, but prescribing and monitoring of such therapy may be suboptimal. The objective of this study was to develop, disseminate,...
