  1. 1. Characterization of monkey fat tissues : To assist their viability for fat intra-body communication as an early step of non-human primate testing (NHP)

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på grundnivå, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

    Författare :Qsai Alyounes; Alkari Razan; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Fat-IBC; Monkey tissues; Phantoms; Network analyzer; Dielectric proporties;

    Sammanfattning : Fat intra-body communication is a newly proven concept that is built on using human fat tissues as a communication channel for electromagnetic waves inside the body. This allows for two implanted external devices to connect through an intra-body closed-loop communication channel. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Natural occurrence of Strongyloides spp. in vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) in Kuti Wildlife reserve, Malawi : assessment of correlation between anthropogenic disturbance and Strongyloides spp. infection

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Författare :Ana-Marija Camber; [2020]
    Nyckelord :vervet monkeys; parasite; strongyloides fuelleborni; strongyloides stercoralis; anthroponotic;

    Sammanfattning : The geographic overlap between non-human primates and people is increasing, especially in tropical and subtropical countries. This inevitably creates a potential for anthropogenic and zoonotic transmission of parasites, which could harm both wildlife and human communities. Strongyloides spp. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The pig as an animal model for kidney transplantation

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Författare :Martina Zakariasson; [2016]
    Nyckelord :pig; kidney; transplantation; rejection; ischemia reperfusion;

    Sammanfattning : A significant amount of the world’s population suffers from chronic kidney disease. Renal failure arises when less than 25 % of the kidneys function properly. The treatments available for humans that suffer from renal failure are dialysis or renal transplantation, of which transplantation is considered to be the treatment of choice. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Porcine pain face – identifying visible characteristics of pain in pigs

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Författare :Lina Göransson; [2016]
    Nyckelord :pain; porcine; pig; pain assessment; pain face; facial expressions; Capsaicin;

    Sammanfattning : The sensation of pain is an important evolutionary adaptation, vital for the survival of an organism. Not only does it enable identification and subsequent avoidance of potentially harmful threats, it also allows for special tending of the affected and possibly injured area. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Enteric pathogens of zoonotic concern in selected non-human primates in Sri Lanka

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Författare :Cecilia Tegner; [2016]
    Nyckelord :zoonosis; salmonella; Campylobacter; rotavirus; non-human primates; antibiotic resistance;

    Sammanfattning : In order to understand the dynamics of zoonotic disease transmission in the animal-human interface, a One Health approach is imperative. This study investigated the occurrence of the zoonotic pathogens Campylobacter spp., Salmonella spp. LÄS MER
