Abstract:
Cancer is a multi-stage process resulting from accumulation of genetic mutations. Data obtained from assaying a tumor only contains the set of mutations in the tumor and lacks information about their temporal order. Learning the chronological order of the genetic mutations is an important step towards understanding the disease. The probability of introduction of a mutation to a tumor increases if certain mutations that promote it, already happened. Such dependencies induce what we call the monotonicity property in cancer progression. A realistic model of cancer progression should take this pro

Melanoma is a highly aggressive tumour with a poor prognosis for patients with advanced disease because it is resistant to current therapies. Therefore, the development of novel strategies for melanoma treatment is important. The characterization of the molecular mechanisms underlying melanoma proliferation, progression, and survival could help the development of novel targeted melanoma treatments. The MAPK and PI3K pathways both play important roles in melanoma progression. In the MAPK pathway, DUSP6, which acts as a phosphatase to negatively control the activation of ERK1/2, is involved in t

Joint damage in osteoarthritis (OA) involves characteristic changes in multiple joint tissue types, with alterations in the shape of subchondral bone and composition of synovial fluid occurring concomitantly with cartilage damage. Systemic risk factors such as obesity and local biomechanical processes that determine joint loading have long been shown to predispose to the disease, and more recent evidence suggests that specific genetic loci and inflammatory processes may make contributions, but the exact mechanisms driving the initiation and progression of the disease are yet to be elucidated.

The most important prognostic factors include tumour stage, histologic subtype and poor differentiation. The prognosis of colorectal cancer depends mainly on tumour stage.

Neurodegenerative disease is an umbrella term for pathologies that primarily damage neurons. As their incidence increases with age it is becoming of a greater concern for the west, due to its aging population.

For all these reasons, a mathematical modelling approach is suggested.

According to 'nonconceptualist' interpretations, at least some intuitions do not depend for their generation on the activity of the understanding.

Introduction: This dissertation seeks to identify novel, potentially modifiable risk factors that could be used to reduce the risk of prostate cancer (PCa) progression. Aim 1 investigates the effects of obesity and smoking on PCa progression, aim 2 studies the effects of specific medication use on PCa progression, and aim 3 identifies factors associated with faster PCa progression.Methods: Data from 140 subjects from the Watchful Waiting study followed every 3 months for up to 5 years were used. Multiple linear regressions were used to determine associations with baseline PSA. PSA velocity (ra

Abstract:
2015 - 2016<br>Trefoil Factor 1 (TFF1) is a small secreted protein, belonging to the trefoil factor family, characterized by a conserved “trefoil domain” containing six cysteine residues that form a three loop disulphide structure. It is expressed in the gastrointestinal tract, where plays an essential role in mucosal protection through mucous-barrier formation, and also in mucosal repair through promotion of restitution after injury. In recent years clinical and experimental studies have shown an active function of the trefoil peptides in the genesis of neoplastic processes. TFF1 is mainly as

Abstract:
Loss of response to TGF-β occurs in many cancers and disruption of its regulatory circuitry appears as a central event in the genesis of colorectal cancer (CRC) malignancy. Lack of an inhibitory response to TGF-β is common to most colon cancer cell lines. Recently, abrogation of the TGF-β growth inhibitory response mediated by different miRNAs has been reported. By searching for miRNAs in regions showing copy number changes and concordant gene expression in 36 sporadic CRCs compared to their normal counterpart, we identified the miR-17-92 cluster localized on the 13q31 locus, gained and highly

Abstract:
La maladie d'Alzheimer (MA) est une pathologie multi-facette qui peut être surveillée grâce à une grande variété de modalités de données. Cette thèse vise à exploiter des données longitudinales multimodales, principalement des données d'imagerie et des tests cognitifs, pour fournir une description statistique de la progression de la MA et permettre une prévision individuelle de la dégradation future. Les modèles de progression à effet-mixtes de la maladie (DPMs) sont couramment utilisés pour ces tâches. Dans ce contexte, notre première contribution remet en question l'hypothèse fréquente selon

Abstract:
Magister Public Health - MPH<br>Background: The goal of ART therapy is sustained viral load suppression with good immunological and clinical response. This optimal response to therapy results in the prevention of emergent ART drug-resistant mutations, decrease morbidity, and AIDS-related mortality and sustained retention on ART. Kenya, like most countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, has scaled-up the use of ART and is currently implementing a “Test and Treat” strategy in which any client identified and confirmed with an HIV diagnosis is initiated ART. Few studies have been carried out to ascertain

Background: The clinical trial design for primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) requires understanding of disability progression in modern patient cohorts. Objective: To characterize demographic and clinical characteristics of the CLIMB study (Boston, MA) PPMS patient cohort and assess rate of disability progression. Methods: We studied PPMS (n = 73) and relapsing-onset MS (ROMS) patients (n =1541) enrolled in CLIMB, a longitudinal study of MS patients at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital (Boston, MA). Disability progression for each group was compared using interval-censored survival a
