Abstract:
The overall aims of this thesis were to evaluate diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of colonic diverticulitis. In the first study, a systematic review of the literature was performed to evaluate radiological diagnostics for patients with acute left-sided diverticulitis. Forty-nine relevant articles were found and read in full and data were extracted or calculated. Twenty-nine of these were excluded. The best evidence for the diagnosis of diverticulitis in the literature was to be found with US. Only one small study of good quality was found for both CT and MRI. In the second paper, a prospecti

The need to find novel anticancer agents with better potency, efficacy and safety are highly demanded. Therefore, the first part of the study was aimed to synthesise new compounds based on stilbenes, indole-based isoxazoles and tricyclic anilides as potential antitumour agents, which later will be evaluated for their anticancer properties. The syntheses of substituted stilbenes were achieved via catalyzed or uncatalyzed methods, yielding stilbene analogues in moderate to good yields.

Our hypothesis was that NNT silencing will expose cells to cytotoxic levels of oxidative stress.

Introduction: Biomarkers of tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis and treatment response in patients coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are a necessity to ensure early diagnosis and adequate monitoring of TB treatment response. We conducted 3 sub-studies: study 1 was a bioavailability study; study 2 was a PK study in HIV-TB co-infected persons, and study 3 evaluated a WHO-recommended treatment algorithm in TB-HIV co-infected persons. Study 1 and 2 contributed to the study of 2 (NAT2) polymorphisms. Study 1 was leveraged to evaluate Quantiferon Gold in tube (QFT-GIT) and a quality of life

Abstract:
Introduction Phosphodiesterase 6B (PDE6B) (OMIM: 180072) is one of the most commonly mutated genes causing autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (RP), which leads to progressive visual loss. RP is the focus of this work, and is part of a group of diseases called the retinal dystrophies. This work aims to develop a disease model for RP caused by variants in PDE6B, using gene editing techniques in human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells that may be developed into retinal organoids as a model for approaches to investigate variants and to assess gene replacement therapy. The more detailed

Abstract:
Canine chronic inflammatory enteropathies (CIE) are a group of diseases characterized by chronic gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. Once other causes for GI symptoms have been ruled out, subdivision of CIEs occurs through therapeutic response which involves a unique trial. The therapeutic steps include a dietary change, subsequently the introduction of antibiotic therapy (this step has recently been discouraged), the execution of an endoscopy of the digestive tract and the introduction of an immunosuppressive therapy. Understanding the pathogenesis and the type of CIE in is fundamental for a corr
