Abstract:

The widely collected and analyzed genetic data help in understanding the underlying mechanisms of heterogeneous diseases. Cellular components interact in a network fashion where genes are nodes and edges are the interactions. The failure in individual genes lead to dys-regulation of sub-groups of genes which causes a disease phenotype, and this dys-functional region is called a disease module. Disease module identification in complex diseases such as asthma and cancer is a huge challenge. Despite the development of numerous sophisticated methods there is a still no gold standard.

Abstract:

The first part of this thesis is dedicated to the study of edge effects in maps of disease. The aim of the analyses is to find out how the estimation of the risk from a disease near boundaries can be affected by the boundary position. The behaviour of a selection of models for disease mapping is evaluated when different edge conditions exist in the data. Disease mapping plays an important role in monitoring the health of a community. Plotting new cases on a map is a frequently used technique for monitoring the spread of infectious diseases and from a statistical point of view it is relevant

Abstract:

Neurodegenerative diseases are characterised by the progressive loss of neuron function and structure. The most prevalent neurodegenerative diseases are hypothesized to be due to the misfolding and accumulation of specific proteins in the brain. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is suspected to result from the aggregation of amyloid-β (Aβ) or tau proteins, Parkinson’s disease (PD) from the aggregation of α-synuclein (α-syn), and so on for numerous other diseases including Huntington’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

Abstract:

The global disease scape is constantly shifting, influenced by demographic transitions, altering the balance of the burden of infectious and non‐communicable diseases. The epidemiological transitions can be divided into three stages: the first, an increase in infectious disease burden as populations settled, then grew into towns and cities providing conditions for infectious agents to maintain spread; the second transition follows industrialisation, changes in lifestyle, diet and improved sanitation whereby infectious diseases are reduced and non‐communicable disease (NCD) prevalence increases

Abstract:

Protein misfolding diseases (PMDs) are a broad group of disorders including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and prion diseases. They are characterised by the presence of aggregated, misfolded host proteins which are thought to cause cell death. Prion diseases are associated with misfolded prion protein (PrPSc), which has a tendency to form fibrillar aggregates. By contrast, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is associated with misfolded amyloid beta (Aβ), which aggregates to form characteristic Aβ plaques. A feature which is common across PMDs is that small assemblies (oligomers) of the misfolded proteins are

Abstract:

Epidemiological data with disease characteristic information can be modelled in several ways. One way is taking each disease characteristic as a response and constructing binary or polytomous logistic regression model. Second way is using a new response which consists of disease subtypes created by cross-classification of disease characteristic levels, and then constructing polytomous logistic regression model. The former may be disadvantageous since any possible covariation between disease characteristics is neglected, whereas the latter can capture that covariation behaviour. However, cross

It is speculated that the re-emergence of VPDs is in part due to the increase in international travel as well as the influx of immigrants.
