An Investigation Into The Effect Of Screen Time On Sleep Quality Amongst Third Level Students, Emma Kelly, Sarah Williams, Cliona Sutton
An Investigation Into The Effect Of Screen Time On Sleep Quality Amongst Third Level Students, Emma Kelly, Sarah Williams, Cliona Sutton
International Undergraduate Journal of Health Sciences
This paper aimed to research the effect of screen time on sleep quality based on the opinions of 356 third-level students from various Irish Universities. This study considers factors such as sleep duration, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic concerning online college and its effect on sleep quality and screen time duration. This study was conducted using an anonymous Google Forms survey consisting of 10 questions and gained ethical approval before distribution.
Most participants (56.1%) slept between 7-9 hours, which is within the recommended guidelines of sleep duration by the Health Service Executive (HSE, 2022). When asked about the effect …

Coagulopathy In Covid-19: A Review, Shannon Ginty
Coagulopathy In Covid-19: A Review, Shannon Ginty
International Undergraduate Journal of Health Sciences
Recent data has demonstrated that the pathophysiology of severe COVID-19 infection is associated with a significant pulmonary coagulopathy. Thrombotic complications have been reported in approximately 35-45% of patients with severe COVID-19. Entry of SARS-CoV-2 into the host cells leads to dysregulation in inflammatory signalling pathways, disrupting the normal coagulation mechanism. The hypercoagulability with abnormal clot formation is attributed to the inappropriately elevated immune response, culminating in a ‘cytokine storm’ with high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and subsequent thrombosis. The coagulopathy in COVID-19 affects many coagulation parameters such as D-dimer levels, fibrinogen levels, platelet count and prothrombin time. Coagulation parameters must …
