  2. 6. Towards spatial host-microbiome profiling

    Author : Britta Lötstedt; Joakim Lundeberg; Petri Auvinen; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; 16S sequencing; RNA sequencing; spatially resolved transcriptomics; antibody-based measurements; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Sequencing technologies and applications have pushed the limits and enabled novel studies of biological mechanisms, evolutionary relationships and communication networks between cells. The technical developments leading to single cell RNA-sequencing have enabled detection of rare cell populations while spatial resolution added insights into larger biological environments, like tissues and organs.

  6. 9. Surgical Site Infections in Dermatologic Surgery- Clinical, diagnostic, and pathogenic aspects

    Author : Karim Saleh; Lund Dermatologi och venereologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgical site infections SSIs ; dermatologic surgery; full-thickness skin grafting; acute wounds; wound healing; microbiome; diagnostics; prevention; pathogenesis;

    Abstract : Surgical site infections (SSIs) in dermatologic surge- ry contribute to unwanted healthcare costs and are complications that cause su ering in patients. The aim of this thesis was to explore clinical, diagnos- tic, and pathogenic aspects of SSIs in dermatologic surgery.In study I, we examined bacterial dynamics during normal wound healing and SSIs.

    Abstract : There is sex-bias in morbidity and mortality from infectious diseases. Infections kill more men than women and several studies have pointed out differences in the immune system as a reason. The sex hormones estrogen, progesterone and testosterone all shape the effect of the immune response on multiple levels. READ MORE
