  1. 1. Platelet function after storage in leukocyte : reduced whole blood and preheating to 37°C

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Alma Bolmsvik; Sofia Bjelkvik; [2023]
    Keywords : Blood platelets; blood transfusion; flow cytometry; blood cell count; platelet membrane glycoproteins; platelet activation.;

    Abstract : Introduction: Whole blood transfusions are indicated for the resuscitation of patients with hemorrhagic trauma. In Sweden, whole blood is stored for 14 days at 4°C. If possible, refrigerated blood is rewarmed to 37°C before transfusion to avoid hypothermia. Platelets contribute to hemostasis and can be activated with several pathways. READ MORE

  3. 2. Proteomic and biomechanical properties of human menisci related to osteoarthritis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Kristina Gehrisch; Lykke Månsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and is expected to become even more prevalent worldwide with an increasingly older and more obese population. The degenerative joint disease, causing pain, swelling and stiffness in the joints, has a complex etiology and knowledge of the pathophysiological mechanisms is still limited. READ MORE

  4. 3. Comparison of Lectins and their suitability in Lectin Affinity Chromatography for isolation of Glycoproteins

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Pontus Andersson; [2020]
    Keywords : biotechnology; lectins; chromatography; glycoproteins; lectin affinity chromatography; LAC; ConA; Concanavalin A; bioteknik; lektiner; kromatografi; affinitetskromatografi; glykoproteiner; ConA; Concanavalin A;

    Abstract : Virtually all extracellular proteins in humans are glycoproteins and likewise are many biopharmaceuticals. The glycosylation is directly correlated to biological function and stability of these proteins. The ability to isolate glycoproteins is thus of great importance in many applications. READ MORE

    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Giardia intestinalis is an intestinal parasite responsible for a burden of millions of infections worldwide yearly, especially in children. Although the disease affects millions there is poor understanding of the pathophysiology of the parasite and how it causes disease. READ MORE

  6. 5. Can sugar be good for your oral health? Correlations between caries and levels of bound monosaccharides in whole saliva

    University essay from Malmö högskola/Odontologiska fakulteten (OD)

    Author : Hanna Vikström; Kosovare Shala; [2017]
    Keywords : odontology; caries; caries indicator; monosaccharide; sialic acid; galactose; fucose; Saliva; plaque; enzyme activity; glycosidases; Salivary flow; correlation; caries free; s. mutans; streptococcus mutans; oral health; enzyme-linked lectin-assay; ELLA; fluoroscens;

    Abstract : Introduktion och syfte: Kariesutveckling influeras av faktorer hos både värd och bakterier. Men när olika individer exponeras för samma nivåer av externa riskfaktorer, är en del individer mer mottagliga för karies jämfört med andra. En förklaring skulle kunna vara olika glykosylering av glykoprotein i saliven. READ MORE
