  3. 17. A study of the biological sex in the classification of Alzheimer’s disease using a convolutional neural network

    University essay from KTH/Datavetenskap

    Author : Emilia Rieschel; Emm Nilsson; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This report investigates whether Alzheimer’s MRI scans could be classified more accurately using deep learning if the biological sex was considered. The data used in the study were female and male Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and Cognitive Normal (CN) MRI scans. The data was divided into a training and test set. READ MORE

  4. 18. Developing a Method to Study the Impact of Microbial DNA on the Brain Related to Alzheimer’s Disease – Can Food Make a Change?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Fuh-Tzu Yang; [2022]
    Keywords : DNA extraction; Microbiome DNA enrichment; Host DNA depletion; 16S rRNA sequencing; Alzheimer’s disease; Gut-brain axis; Microbiota; Microbial DNA; Black currant; Applied Nutrition and Food Chemistry; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Understanding the gut-brain-microbiota axis can help us provide a new tool to manage conditions such as Alzheimer’s. However, a major challenge is selectively amplifying the bacterial DNA which is present at a much lower level than the host DNA. READ MORE

  5. 19. A Single-Nucleus RNA Sequencing Analysis of HERVs and LINE1s in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

    Author : Stein Acker; [2022]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements that make up roughly 50% of the human genome, with retrotransposons (or transposons which retrotranspose via an RNA intermediate) making up the vast majority of these elements. Recent studies have suggested that TEs could play a role in many neurological conditions, including ALS and dementia. READ MORE

  6. 20. Visual Transformers for 3D Medical Images Classification: Use-Case Neurodegenerative Disorders
