1. 16. The initial steps in the pursuit to diagnose trimethylaminuria with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and UniSpray ionization at CMMS

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Cristian Fransson; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Trimethylaminuria is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a decreased oxidation capacity of trimethylamine to trimethylamine-N-oxide in the liver. The condition is diagnosed by estimating concentrations of trimethylamine and trimethylamine-N-oxide in human urine and then evaluating their respective creatinine ratios and the oxidation efficiency percentage.

3. 17. Development and evaluation of an inter-subject image registration method for body composition analysis for three slice CT images

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

   Author : Hugo Dahlberg; [2022]
   Keywords : Medical imaging; Image registration; SCAPIS;

   Abstract : Over 30 000 liver, abdomen, and thigh slices have been acquired by computed tomography for the SCAPIS and IGT study. To utilise the full potential of the large cohort and enable statistical pixel-wise body composition analysis and visualisation of associations with other biomarkers, a point-to-point correspondence between the scans is needed.

4. 18. Elevated IgG4 is associated with higher risk for cholangitis, cirrhosis, ERCP and liver-transplantation among patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Jennifer Carlsson; [2022]
   Keywords : Primary sclerosing cholangitis; liver disease; IgG;

   Abstract : Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare inflammatory chronic liver disease that causes damage to the intra- and or extrahepatic bile ducts leading to cholestasis. As the disease proceeds the development of cirrhosis and eventually liver failure occurs. READ MORE

5. 19. Development of a Novel Biocatalytic Cascade for the Valorisation of 5-(Hydroxymethyl)furfural

   University essay from KTH/Industriell bioteknologi

   Author : Johannes Johansson; [2022]
   Keywords : Biocatalysis; Enzyme immobilization; 5- Hydroxymethyl furfural; Transaminase; Galactose Oxidase; Biokatalys; Enzym-immobilisering; 5- hydroxymetyl furfural; Transaminas; Galaktosoxidas;

   Abstract : Den nära förestående bristen på fossila resurser i kombination med deras associerade miljöfarlighet betonar behovet av utveckling av alternativa, mer hållbara kemikalier. I denna studie utvecklades en enzymatisk kaskad för förädling av 5-(hydroxymetyl)furfural (HMF) till 5-(aminometyl)-2-furfuraldehyd (AMFA). READ MORE

6. 20. Pharmacokinetics: A comparison of physiologically based pharmacokinetic models : A comparison study

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaci

   Author : Rosa Kafey; [2022]
   Keywords : PBPK; MODELLS;

   Abstract : Abstract Background: This thesis explores the pharmaceutical model physiologically based pharmacokinetics (PBPK) further and focuses on the basics of parameters used for the software tools to develop new drugs on the market today. Further reflects on what drug companies place their importance on when developing a new drug and why, by focusing on 29 different drugs and the parameters provided by the PBPK-model. READ MORE
