Abstract:
The standard anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs) used for the treatment of HIV/AIDS have significant side effects resulting in a lack of adherence and the emergence of multidrug resistant viral strains. These drugs are also expensive, making it essential to investigate all alternatives to classical HIV/AIDS treatment. A wide variety of nonconventional medicines are used by patients for the treatment HIV and for symptoms associated with HIV. So long as they are safe and effective, traditional, complementary and alternative medicines (TCAMs) may be considered more advantageous for developing countries

Abstract:
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a chronic functional disorder of the gastrointestinal system with prevalence in adults of 10-20%. IBS is characterised by a number of troublesome symptoms including abdominal bloating, pain and excess gas, and has substantial impact on quality of life in addition to wider economic implications. Conventional medical treatment can be problematic however, due to the lack of established aetiology and the number of symptoms reported. Concurrently, use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) to relieve IBS symptoms is reported to be as high as 50%, although

PRMT5 functions by catalyzing the symmetric dimethylation of terminal arginine residues on target protein substrates.

Recently, a competitive SphK2 inhibitor, ABC294640, has been approved for clinical trial. ABC294640 has the potential to treat CCA, which is support by a phase I clinical study that was able to temporarily treat a patient suffering from metastasized CCA with ABC294640.

Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) is a rare antigen-driven inflammatory gastrointestinal disorder characterised by oesophageal dysfunction, elevated levels of eosinophils in the oesophageal mucosa, and gastrointestinal symptoms. EoE incidence and prevalence is increasing rapidly. EoE Incidence peaks in late childhood and healthcare utilisation amongst children with EoE is high. This study provides the first known research into carer experiences and perspectives on healthcare utilisation, including complementary medicine (CM) use, treatment burden, and impact on health-related quality of life (HR

Abstract:
Iron-substituted manganese superoxide dismutase (Fe(Mn)SOD) was produced using an in vivo preparation method. It’s an inactive enzyme in catalyzing superoxide radical dismutation owing to the mis-incorporation of Fe in the active site evolved to use Mn. To investigate the possible toxicity of human Fe(Mn)SOD proposed by Yamakura, we studied the properties of Fe(Mn)SOD upon H2O2 treatment and compared to that of FeSOD. It’s found that the responses to H2O2 treatment were different, including the changes of optical spectra, variations of active site coordination and secondary structures. Fe3+ re

SAMMANFATTNING Bakgrund: Funktionsinriktad musikterapi används som en kognitiv och kroppsbaserad komplementär behandlingsmetod för olika patientgrupper inom hälso- och sjukvården där vårdhandlingar har målet att öka patienters upplevda hälsa. Det finns forskning inom olika former av kognitiva kroppsbaserade komplementära behandlingar. Problematiken ligger i att beskrivningar av deltagares erfarenheter efter behandling med Funktionsinriktad musikterapi endast finns vetenskapligt belyst i mycket begränsad omfattning. Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva hur deltagare erfar hälsa efter behandling med Fu

Abstract:
Background: Hypnotherapy has shown promise in managing symptoms related to cancer treatment, yet its integration in supportive cancer care remains limited. There is a lack of research exploring perceptions of hypnotherapy of people with cancer and healthcare professionals, particularly in the Australian context. Aim: This mixed methods study aimed to explore perceptions of hypnotherapy in cancer care from the perspectives of both patients and healthcare professionals. Methodology: A convergent mixed methods design was employed. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with cancer

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Långvarig smärta i nacke, skuldra eller ländrygg är komplexa tillstånd som kan leda till fysiska och psykiska påfrestningar samt försvåra det dagliga livet för drabbade individer. Den vanligaste metoden för att minska smärta är att använda farmakologiska preparat men det finns en risk att dessa kan ha negativa biverkningar. Akupunktur är en komplementär behandlingsmetod med ursprung från kinesisk medicin som även blivit godkänd inom svensk sjukvård och kan användas som komplement till farmakologiska medel.

Bakgrund: Ett grundläggande emotionellt behov hos människan är fysisk beröring, som vid vissa sjukdomstillstånd kan vara svåra att tillfredsställa inom vården. Effekten av beröringen gör att människan blir mer avslappnad, samma effekt kan en person få från fysisk beröring av sällskapsdjur. Djurassisterad terapi kan användas som en kompletteringsbehandling inom sjukvården. Syfte: Att beskriva vilka djurarter som används i djurassisterad terapi och på vilket sätt de kan användas i vården för rehabilitering och habilitering av patienter.

The specific research work described in this thesis forms part of a much larger research project that was funded by the Technology Programme of the UK Government. This larger project considered improving the design and efficiency of membrane bioreactor (MBR) plant by using modelling, simulation and laboratory methods. This research work uses phenomenological mechanistic models based on MBR filtration and biochemical processes to measure the effectiveness of alternative behavioural models based upon input-output system identification methods. Both model types are calibrated and validated using

Abstract:
Background: Interest in alternatives to hormone therapy (HT) for menopausal symptoms increased following its association with serious health risks. In terms of phytotherapeutic interventions, while traditional use supports a range of herbs for treating menopausal symptoms, evidence from rigorous scientific trials is limited, and has largely focused on the phytoestrogenic plants. Because of some safety concerns over long-term use of isoflavones, the present study focused on two non-estrogenic herbs, Hypericum perforatum and Vitex agnus-castus, also employed in this context in the Anglo-Americ
