Abstract:

Forced expiatory volume in one second (FEV1) is the most widely accepted marker in COPD. However, COPD is now well recognised as a multisystem and heterogeneous disease, and it is unlikely that a single marker could reflect the complex range of observed pathophysiologic changes. Exercise intolerance is a common symptom in COPD, and reflects both lung and skeletal muscle dysfunction. Logistical issues often mean physical performance is not routinely measured objectively in all clinical settings. Gait speed is an easy, quick to perform established measure of physical performance in the elderly,

Abstract:

CD248 is a member of a family of transmembrane glycoproteins containing an N-terminal C-type lectin-like domain. This family includes thrombomodulin and CD93, proteins known to modulate immunity, cell proliferation and homeostasis. CD248 is expressed in perivascular and stromal cells, during embryonic development and post-natally during inflammation and cancer. In the mesenchymal compartment of most normal adult tissues, CD248 expression is not detectable. It is believed that CD248 is involved in cross-talk between endothelial cells and pericytes, thereby playing a role in growth, metastasis a

Abstract:

In clinical practice, kidney injury is detected when serum creatinine concentrations increase over a short period of time, with or without oliguria. To assess renal function in neonates is used determination of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) after creatinine. But creatinine concentration is not a decisive marker. Changes in serum creatinine may be influenced by other factors, which are not directly related to kidney damage, such as age, sex, body mass and nutritional status.

Melanoma is an aggressive disease with high metastatic potential and resistance to cytotoxic agents.

This thesis explores the connection between hospital incidence of CDI and excess LOS in patients without a CDI. It is hypothesized that HA-CDI incidence may act as a "proxy variable" to capture unobserved hospital characteristics, such as hospital quality or ef

It is therefore essential to detect CLM early, enabling successful surgical resection and achieving a long-term cure. There are no optimal tumour markers for CRC or CLM.

Abstract:

Mosquito-borne diseases are responsible for significant human morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Current vector control strategies have been impeded by mosquitoes acquiring resistance to insecticide. Therefore, development of new vector control strategies is urgently needed to complement current strategies. In this thesis, efforts have focused on characterizing the glycan-lectin interactions of Ross River virus (RRV; Togaviridae: Alphavirus) with their mosquito vectors. RRV is the most common arbovirus in Australia that causes clinical manifestations including arthralgia and myalgia

Abstract:

The main issue in finance nowadays is to understand the financial market dynamics. This paper attempts to shed light on the relationship between media sentiment and stock market returns. An enormous amount of data are analyzed to define media sentiment. The data are downloaded from Twitter accounts of the main relevant economic financial journals and blogs at present in Italy. After classifying each message in positive, negative and neutral through natural linguistic processing, the investor sentiment index is defined and the VAR model is adopted. The paper demonstrates sentiment index derived

Abstract:

Obesity is one of the leading causes of world-wide life-threatening diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. So far, there is no effective, promising and safe remedy. Development of cost-effective anti-obesity therapies and promising biomarkers for obesity-related diseases have become a demanding task. Lipocalins, such as LCN13, were recently identified as potential drug target because of its beneficial effects on glucose and fat metabolism in mouse. LCN14 is a putative lipocalin that share high degree of homology with LCN13. In this study, it is

Abstract:

The clinical course of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is highly heterogeneous, which has prompted the search for biomarkers that can predict prognosis in this disease. The IGHV gene mutation status and certain genomic aberrations have been identified as reliable prognostic markers of clinical outcome for this disorder. However, the search for more feasible prognostic markers in CLL is still being pursued. Recently, certain single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the GNAS1, BCL2 and MDM2 genes and the RNA expression levels of the LPL, ZAP70, TCL1, CLLU1 and MCL1 genes were suggested as no
