  1. 16. The potential of the microbiome and inflammatory markers in the faeces of dogs with GI disorders

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Malte Gustafsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Gut microbiota; dog; diets; calprotectin; dysbiosis; gastrointestinal disease;

    Abstract : The gut microbiota greatly affects host health. It can hinder the growth of pathogenic bacteria, decrease intestinal wall permeability, modulate the immune system, and provide nutrients for enterocytes. However, an imbalance of the gut microbiota to the point of dysbiosis can cause both acute, and in time, chronic GI disorders. READ MORE

  3. 17. Effect of cardiovascular diseases on the severity of patients with renal failure

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Abdulla Hil Kafi; [2023]
    Keywords : Chronic Kidney Disease; Cardiovascular disease; Meta-analysis; Odds ratio;

    Abstract : Chronic kidney disease greatly raises cardiovascular disease risk. Heart disease and death risk grow proportionately with renal disease progression. Investigate the link between cardiovascular disease prevalence and chronic renal disease severity and mortality using meta-analysis. READ MORE

  4. 18. Pseudomonas aeruginosa gene expression analysis using pangenome and PAO1 reference genomes

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

    Author : Yi Su; [2023]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Development in sequencing technologies has made the analyses of genetic material much more accessible. Processing sequenced data for an accurate analysis comes with its challenges, especially with the studies in microbial in clinical in vivo samples where difficulties in the collection of these samples for sequencing could lower the quality and contamination from the human host which might affect the accuracy of downstream analysis.

  5. 19. Serum TK1 activity and SAA concentration as biomarkers to differentiate lymphoma from gastrointestinal disease in cats

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Amanda Friman; [2023]
    Keywords : lymphoma; gastrointestinal lymphoma; feline lymphoma; inflammatory bowel disease; IBD; thymidine kinase 1; TK1; biomarker; cancer; cats;

    Abstract : Alimentary lymphoma is one of the most common malignant neoplasms in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in cats. Since the clinical signs often are identical to those of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and the findings on diagnostic imaging and endoscopic mucosal biopsies overlap, invasive biopsy sampling from the GI tract is needed to be able to differentiate these two diseases from each other.

  6. 20. Autophagy and senescence in primary human bronchial epithelial cells in the context of COPD

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Annie Vegraeus; [2023]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third largest cause of death worldwide, with its most prominent risk factor being inhalation of smoke and pollutants. In this project, we studied two processes that are involved in COPD: autophagy and cellular senescence. READ MORE
