1. 6. Machine learning approaches for detection of urinary tract infections

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

   Author : Jesper Nyman; [2020]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Urinary tract infections (UTI) are a common bacterial infection. Diagnosing UTI can be done through urine culturing. While precise, culturing is both time and money consuming. Flow cytometry analysis (FCA) is a different technique that can calculate different attributes in a urine sample. READ MORE

3. 7. Health economic analysis of a urinary catheter which reduce the frequency of urinary tract infections (UTIs) Research questions: a) What is the willingness-to-pay (WTP) in Sweden - from a patient perspective - for a urinary catheter which reduce the annual frequency of urinary tract infections by 25% and 50%, respectively, and (b) is the WTP dependent on the annual frequency of UTIs and gender?

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Förvaltningshögskolan

   Author : Thomas Lindqvist; [2019-03-20]
   Keywords : Health Economic Analysis; Willingness to pay; Urinary catheter; Cost benefit analysis;

   Abstract : Objective: To investigate the preference for urinary catheters that can reduce the frequency of urinary tract infections (UTIs), among Swedish patients practicing clean intermittent catheterization (CIC), and analyze if the preference is affected by the frequency of UTIs and gender. Methods: The preference for a clinically more effective catheter was expressed as a monetary value by investigating the patients’ willingness-to-pay (WTP) to switch catheters. READ MORE

4. 8. Growth Dynamics, Antibiotic Susceptibility and the Effect of Sublethal Ciprofloxacin Concentrations in Susceptible and Resistant Escherichia coli in Biofilm

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Jenny Fernberg; [2019]
   Keywords : Biofilm; Escherichia coli; CFT073; BPC; MBIC; MSC; Ciprofloxacin; Streptomycin; Rifampicin; Antibiotic resistance; Urinary Tract Infections; Growth dynamics; Antibiotic susceptibility; S83F; K42N; S531L; Sub-MIC;

   Abstract : Instead of planktonic growth in nature, many species of bacteria form biofilm to survive in harsh conditions. Although many chronic bacterial infections are caused by bacterial species in a biofilm lifestyle, previous research has focused on studying antibiotic resistance in planktonic growth. Here we used a modified MBEC assay, i.e. READ MORE

5. 9. Diabetes mellitus hos hund och katt : skillnader i etiologi och patologi

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

   Author : Cassandra Linder; [2019]
   Keywords : diabetes; mellitus; hund; katt; skillnader; likheter; patologi; etiologi;

   Abstract : Diabetes mellitus är en endokrin sjukdom som orsakas av en försämrad förmåga hos kroppen att producera eller svara på insulin, vilket resulterar i onormal metabolism av kolhydrater och förhöjda nivåer av glukos i blodet och urinen. Diabetes mellitus är även en av de vanligaste endokrina sjukdomarna hos hund och katt, vars prevalens har ökat de senaste åren. READ MORE

6. 10. Detection of plasmid families carrying ESBL genes in clinical and environmental E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolates

   University essay from Högskolan Kristianstad/Fakulteten för naturvetenskap

   Author : Johanna Nilsson; [2019]
   Keywords : β-lactamases; ESBLs; bla-genes; plasmid families; incompatibility groups; replicon typing; E. coli; K. pneumoniae;

   Abstract : Extended Spectrum β-Lactamases (ESBLs) are produced by the Enterobacteriaceae bacterial family, mainly by E. coli and K. pneumoniae. As these species are some of the main causes of urinary tract infections and sepsis, ESBL-production is of major concern. READ MORE
