  1. 16. Förgiftning orsakad av liljor hos katt

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Anna Moreno Berggren; [2015]
    Keywords : liljeförgiftning; katt; Lilium; toxikologi; Hemerocallis; cat; toxicology;

    Abstract : Vissa liljors njurtoxiska effekter på katter har beskrivits i litteraturen i snart 25 år, trots detta är den toxiska komponenten i liljan inte identifierad. Toxinet verkar dock vara vattenlösligt och själva blomman har i studier visat sig vara mer toxisk än bladen, även om hela växten är giftigt. READ MORE

  3. 17. Direct hollow fibre liquid phase membrane extraction and LC-MS determination of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors in fish tissue

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Henrik Engström; [2013]
    Keywords : HF-LPME; LC-MS; SSRI; selective; fish; analytical chemistry; analytisk kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have been found in waste water treatment plant effluents and surface water at detectable concentrations. Although the medical effects and side effects of pharmaceuticals and personal care products are investigated through safety and toxicology studies the potential environmental impacts are less studied, and information concerning ecotoxicological risks and the distribution in sludge, surface water and water living organisms is rather scarce.

  4. 18. DNA profiles generated from minute amounts of single cells

    University essay from Institutionen för klinisk och experimentell medicin

    Author : Lovisa Wenäll; [2011]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The genetic code in our cells is built up by deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) with a sequence that is individual and unique to each person. A cell’s origin can be decided by comparing an established DNA profile with a known profile. READ MORE

  5. 19. Database for targeted drug screening with Liquid Chromatography - Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometry, (LC-TOFMS)

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Emma Colnerud Nilsson; [2010]
    Keywords : Toxicological screening; liquid chromatography - time-of-flight mass spectrometry; limited database; evaluation;

    Abstract : Today there are no fully general analytical techniques available for detection and confirmation of known and unknown substances in toxicological screening, further tools are therefore needed. The development of mass spectrometry with time-of-flight (TOF) detection is promising but there are still areas to be further developed and evaluated, both instrumentation and applications.

  6. 20. Effects of perfluorinated compounds on hepatic fatty acid oxidation in avian embryos using a tritium release assay

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Akademin för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Ola Westman; [2009]
    Keywords : PFOS; avian toxicology;

    Abstract : The large use of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) to produce fluoropolymers in consumer and industrial applications, including insecticides, plastics, non-stick surfaces and fire fighting foams has led to a well known widespread occurrence and high concentrations are found in wild life including avian species. For instance, concentrations of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in eggs from the common guillemot in the Baltic Sea are among the highest in the Nordic environment. READ MORE
