1. Detection and quantification of post-translational modifications in non-invasive samples : Phosphoproteins as biomarkers and a market analysis of protein quantification technologies
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins can be a sign and/or cause of disease. These modified proteins have the potential to be used as biomarkers for diagnostic purposes. However, research in the field is limited. READ MORE

2. Analysis of Brain Signals from Patients with Parkinson’s Disease using Self-Supervised Learning
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative brain disorders, commonly diagnosed and monitored via clinical examinations, which can be imprecise and lead to a delayed or inaccurate diagnosis. Therefore, recent research has focused on finding biomarkers by analyzing brain networks’ neural activity to find abnormalities associated with PD pathology. READ MORE

3. Automatic Diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease Using Machine Learning : A Comparative Study of Different Feature Selection Algorithms, Classifiers and Sampling Methods
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Over the past few years, several studies have been published to propose algorithms for the automated diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease using simple exams such as drawing and voice exams. However, at the same time as all classifiers appear to have been outperformed by another classifier in at least one study, there appear to lack a study on how well different classifiers work with a certain feature selection algorithm and sampling method.

4. Sex-differences in reported adverse side-effects caused by Deep Brain Stimulation therapy in the subthalamic nucleus
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Parkinson’s disease is a common neurological disease which will progressively damagedopaminergic neurons in the brain. Later stages of the disease will result in death of theneurons. The diagnosis is often made with respect to the motor symptoms, which includetremors, bradykinesia, and rigidity. READ MORE

5. Impact of using different brain layer amounts on the accuracy of Convolutional Neural networks trained on MR-Images to identify Parkinson's Disease
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease and brain disorder which affects the motor system and leads to shaking, stiffness, impaired balance and coordination. Diagnosing PD from Magnetic resonance images (MR-images) is difficult and often not possible for medical experts and therefore Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are used instead. READ MORE
