  1. 1. Anaerobic cellulose degrading bacteria isolated from biogas plants

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Caroline Sjöberg; [2023]
    Keywords : anaerobic bacteria; biogas; cellulose; cellobiose; VFA; enzyme activity; TRFLP;

    Abstract : Two cellulose degrading bacteria, named BCISO-4 and DC1-18-4, were isolated from samples retrieved from two large scale biogas-plants. In order to investigate and determine information regarding their growth preferences multiple tests were performed. READ MORE

  3. 2. Association between NT-proBNP rs198389-polymorphism and obstructive sleep apnea

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

    Author : Vladyslav Melnyk; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) disorder may lead to serious complications. The development of OSA is influenced in general by combination of both genetic and environmental factors. In particular, Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) were suggested to contribute to the development of OSA and its severity. READ MORE

  4. 3. Optimization of a Multiplex PCR-RFLP Method Used for Detection of Three Primary Mutations in Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy Patients

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kvinnors och barns hälsa

    Author : Emilia Nord; [2020]
    Keywords : LHON; Restriction enzyme; Multiplex PCR; Mutation detection; Mitochondrial mutation;

    Abstract : Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is the most commonly inherited disease that causes blindness in one or both eyes, with a minimum prevalence of 1 in 31 000 in the northeast of England. What causes LHON is not fully known but three mitochondrial mutations, G3460A, G11778A, and T14484C, have been identified in over 95 % of all LHON patients. READ MORE

  5. 4. Assessing the efficacy of artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) against Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium ovale infections with low parasite densities: overcoming challenges during molecular analyses

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Ioanna Broumou; [2020]
    Keywords : Malaria; Plasmodium malariae; Plasmodium ovale; low density infections; PCR detection;

    Abstract : Background: Malaria is a major public health issue. Artemisinin-based combination therapies are the WHO recommended treatment for uncomplicated malaria. Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium ovale infections are considered underestimated and the effectiveness of artemisinin-based combination treatments against them is poorly documented. READ MORE

  6. 5. Association of glut4 single nucleotide polymorphism with obstructive sleep apnea in the swedish riccadsa cohort

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

    Author : Juliaana Katto; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder affecting the respiratory airflow, characterized byoccasional interruptions in breathing (apnea) or decreased volume of respiration (hypopnea) during sleep. The disorder is estimated to affect 3-10% of the general population, with a negative impact onthe quality of life of the affected individuals. READ MORE
