  1. 1. Intermittent fasting improves cognitive abilities in Alzheimer’s disease

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Hanna Ek; [2022]
    Keywords : Intermittent fasting; ketogenic diet; Alzheimer’s disease; cognition;

    Abstract : Alzheimer's disease is the most common dementia disease and the main cause of death. The hallmark is neurofibrillary tangles (abnormal aggregates of tau protein) and beta-amyloid (Aβ) neuritic plaques that leads to impaired cognitive function such as memory loss and learning difficulties.

  3. 2. FDG PET and MRI as biomarkers of Tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Putu Ayuwidia Ekaputri; [2021]
    Keywords : Alzheimer’s disease; fdg pet; mri; tau pet; tau pathology;

    Abstract : Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography (FDG PET) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are commonly used in a clinical setting as an examination in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) patients. FDG PET is an imaging tool to evaluate hypometabolism; meanwhile, the MRI observes the brain volume. READ MORE

  4. 3. On Knots and DNA

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Matematiska institutionen; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Mari Ahlquist; [2017]
    Keywords : Knot theory; Topology; Homology; Jones polynomial; Bracket polynomial; Tangles; DNA;

    Abstract : Knot theory is the mathematical study of knots. In this thesis we study knots and one of its applications in DNA. Knot theory sits in the mathematical field of topology and naturally this is where the work begins. Topological concepts such as topological spaces, homeomorphisms, and homology are considered.

  5. 4. Development of an assay to monitor the role of Serum Amyloid P-component in Alzheimer's Disease

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Eleni Gkanatsiou; [2016]
    Keywords : Alzheimer s Disease; Biomarker development; mass spectrometry; quantitative proteomics; Serum Amyloid P-component; immunoprecipitation;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s Disease is the most common form of dementia, affecting 48 million people worldwide. Despite this fact, only 45% of the patients have received the diagnose. The reason behind this is the fact that the cause of the disease is still unclear. READ MORE

  6. 5. Studies of Aβ aggregation, toxicity and cellular uptake

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Chiara Beretta; [2016]
    Keywords : Alzheimer’s disease; amyloid-beta; fluorescence; cellular uptake; labeling;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia observed in the elderly. The symptoms of the disease are provoked by neuronal loss caused by neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques. The molecular processes that underlie AD’s pathology are at this day not well understood. READ MORE
