Huntington's disease caregivers: A qualitative exploration of caregivers experience
Caring for a family member with Huntington's disease can be complex and challenging.

Getting on regardless? The tripartite model of migrants’ welcome in the context of urban inequalities and diversification
This paper utilises Lefebvre’s conceptual triad of space to propose a model of migrants’ welcome. This model’s application in the context of migration in urban areas requires a simultaneous engagement with social practices, representation and representational aspects of space, countering this way an otherwise essentialised notion of welcome. Utilising this framework in our research with migrants and non-migrant residents in five boroughs in Liver…

In response to an identified gap in empirical research on RS/C, this scoping review aimed to give an overview of the broad range of study designs and outcomes by systemati…
Systemic inflammatory markers and sources of social support among older adults in the Memory Research Unit cohort

Inflammatory markers, cognitive function, social support and psychosocial wellbeing were evaluated. A structural equation modelling approach was used to analyse the data. The model was a good fit [Formula: see text], p < 0.001; comparative fit index = 0.973; Tucker-Lewis Index = 0.962; root mean square error of appr…
Exploring the meaning of loneliness among socially isolated older adults in rural Ireland: A qualitative investigation
Dominant theories in loneliness literature describe it as a biological, universal phenomenon, yet culture also plays a role.
