1. Human-Human and Human-Animal Interaction : Some Common Physiological and Psychological Effects
Sammanfattning : The aim of the present thesis was to investigate hormonal and physiological effects in mothers during a breastfeeding session and in dogs and their owners in response to short-term interaction. In study one, sixty-six mothers receiving either exogenous oxytocin infusion and/or epidural analgesia (EDA) during labor or intramuscular oxytocin injection post partum were studied. LÄS MER
2. Cytokines as diagnostic biomarkers in canine pyometra and sepsis
Sammanfattning : Sepsis is a syndrome with high morbidity, mortality and astronomical health care costs and it is challenging to diagnose both in humans and animals due to the lack of suitable diagnostic biomarkers. Although several types of proteins have been suggested as diagnostic biomarkers of sepsis, none of them were shown to be reliable for routine use in the clinical practice. LÄS MER
3. Aspects of the Pre-Diabetic Period in Type 1 Diabetes
Sammanfattning : Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized by insulin deficiency, due to immune-mediated destruction of beta cells. Current knowledge regarding the period preceding disease onset comes, to a large extent, from studying risk cohorts based on relatives of T1D-patients, as they have an increased disease risk. LÄS MER
4. Canine heterophilic antibodies
Sammanfattning : Anamnesis, physical examination and laboratory testing are the pillars of the clinical diagnostic procedure. Alas, laboratory tests are not perfect and analytical errors happen, which can lead to misdiagnosis and detrimental consequences for patient care. LÄS MER
5. Canine C-reactive protein : validation of two automated canine-specific C-reactive protein assays and studies on clinical and research applications
Sammanfattning : C-reactive protein (CRP) is a sensitive and specific marker of systemic inflammation in dogs, valuable for diagnosing and monitoring inflammatory diseases. The use of CRP in canine medicine has however been hampered by the lack of automated assays optimized for measuring CRP in this species. LÄS MER
