  1. 1. 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.

  6. 5. Serum Amyloid A as a possible marker of health and disease in non-domesticated mammals : a retrospective pilot study of SAA levels in dolphins, elephants and tapirs at Kolmården Wildlife Park

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : John-Filip Lundin; [2015]
    Keywords : acute phase proteins; SAA; bottlenose dolphin; Asian elephant; South American tapirs; Eurolyser SOLO;

    Abstract : The veterinary handling of wildlife, both in zoos and in the wild, commonly requires that the patients need to be captured and immobilized for examination or treatment. This emphasises the need for quick, on-site, laboratory equipment, in order to minimize the analysis time and thus the stress for the animal and also in order to increase the possibility of starting relevant treatment early on.
