2. 1. PROTEIN VACCINE AGAINST NEONATAL GROUP B STREPTOCOCCAL INFECTION Immunization experiments in animals and a serological study in humans

   Author : Charlotte U Larsson; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bakteriologi; mycology; bacteriology; Microbiology; virologi; mykologi; neonatal infection; human antibody; intranasal; vaccine; cholera toxin B subunit; Rib; α; Group B streptococcus; surface protein; Mikrobiologi; virology;

   Abstract : Infection with group B streptococcus (GBS), an encapsulated bacterium, is an important cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Capsular polysaccharides and cell surface proteins of GBS are candidate antigens for development of a human GBS vaccine. Proteins have many advantages as vaccine antigens. READ MORE

4. 2. Mucosal immunity against mycobacterial infection

   Author : Muhammad Jubayer Rahman; Carmen Fernández; Ingileif Jonsdottir; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mucosal immunity; Vaccination; Diagnosis; Mycobacterial infection; Immunology; Immunologi; immunologi; Immunology;

   Abstract : This thesis aimed to the identification of immune biomarkers of mycobacterial infection for better diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) and also focused on new vaccination strategies with a particular emphasis on the immune responses in the respiratory tract using murine models. Since the lung is the natural habitat for the M. READ MORE

5. 3. Developing brain and systemic inflammation: a "Toll-like" link with consequences

   Author : Amin Mottahedin; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; developing brain; neonatal brain injury; hypoxia-ischemia; inflammation; infection; Toll-like receptor; choroid plexus; neuroimmunology; Mitochondria;

   Abstract : The developing brain is vulnerable to external insults, and perinatal brain injury (PBI) is a major cause of life-long neurological syndromes such as cerebral palsy. Currently, no pharmaceutical intervention is available. Hypoxia/ischemia (HI), infections and inflammation are implicated in the pathogenesis of PBI. READ MORE

6. 4. Perspectives of Deep Learning for Neonatal Sepsis Detection

   Author : Antoine Honoré; Saikat Chatterjee; Eric Herlenius; Guy Carrault; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Deep Learning; Neonatal Sepsis Detection; Normalizing Flows; Hidden Markov Models.; Djupinlärningsmodeller; Neonatal Sepsis detektion; Normaliserande Flöden; Dolda Markov modellerna.;

   Abstract : Newborns, whether born at term or preterm, are highly vulnerable and face life-threatening situations during their initial weeks of life every year. Even with hospitalization in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and careful clinical monitoring, identifying infection-related incidents like sepsis is a challenging task. READ MORE

7. 5. Neonatal invasive infections with focus on Group B streptococci

   Author : Margrét Johansson Gudjónsdóttir; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neonatal sepsis; Group B streptococci; Virulence factors;

   Abstract : Invasive infections affect neonates with the risk of severe morbidity and death, and Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B streptococcus, GBS) remains one of the most common pathogens. The aim of this thesis was to assess infections among neonates and infants, focusing on GBS to better understand prevention and treatment. READ MORE
