Changes In The Eeg Amplitude As A Biomarker For Early Detection Of Alzheimer's Disease, Ali H. Al-Nuaimi, Emmanuel Jammeh, Lingfen Sun, Emmanuel Ifeachor Aug 2016

Changes In The Eeg Amplitude As A Biomarker For Early Detection Of Alzheimer's Disease, Ali H. Al-Nuaimi, Emmanuel Jammeh, Lingfen Sun, Emmanuel Ifeachor

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

The rapid increase in the number of older people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other forms of dementia represents one of the major challenges to the health and social care systems. Early detection of AD makes it possible for patients to access appropriate services and to benefit from new treatments and therapies, as and when they become available. The onset of AD starts many years before the clinical symptoms become clear. A biomarker that can measure the brain changes in this period would be useful for early diagnosis of AD. Potentially, the electroencephalogram (EEG) can play a valuable role in …


Simultaneous Targeting Of Eph Receptors In Glioblastoma, S Ferluga, Cml Tomé, Dm Herpai, R D’Agostino, W Debinski Aug 2016

Simultaneous Targeting Of Eph Receptors In Glioblastoma, S Ferluga, Cml Tomé, Dm Herpai, R D’Agostino, W Debinski

Peninsula Medical School

Eph tyrosine kinase receptors are frequently overexpressed and functional in many cancers, and they are attractive candidates for targeted therapy. Here, we analyzed the expression of Eph receptor A3, one of the most up-regulated factors in glioblastoma cells cultured under tumorsphere-forming conditions, together with EphA2 and EphB2 receptors. EphA3 was overexpressed in up to 60% of glioblastoma tumors tested, but not in normal brain. EphA3 was localized in scattered areas of the tumor, the invasive ring, and niches near tumor vessels. EphA3 co-localized with macrophage/leukocyte markers, suggesting EphA3 expression on tumor-infiltrating cells of bone marrow origin. We took advantage of …


Detection Of Infectious Disease Outbreaks From Laboratory Data With Reporting Delays, A Noufaily, P Farrington, P Garthwaite, Et Al Aug 2016

Detection Of Infectious Disease Outbreaks From Laboratory Data With Reporting Delays, A Noufaily, P Farrington, P Garthwaite, Et Al

Peninsula Medical School

Many statistical surveillance systems for the timely detection of outbreaks of infectious disease operate on laboratory data. Such data typically incur reporting delays between the time at which a specimen is collected for diagnostic purposes, and the time at which the results of the laboratory analysis become available. Statistical surveillance systems currently in use usually make some ad hoc adjustment for such delays, or use counts by time of report. We propose a new statistical approach that takes account of the delays explicitly, by monitoring the number of specimens identified in the current and past m time units, where m …


Molecular Mechanisms Autonomic Dysfunction And Impaired Cardiac Contractility In Critical Illness, Gl Ackland, J Whittle, A Toner, A Machhada, Et Al Aug 2016

Molecular Mechanisms Autonomic Dysfunction And Impaired Cardiac Contractility In Critical Illness, Gl Ackland, J Whittle, A Toner, A Machhada, Et Al

Peninsula Medical School

Objectives: Molecular mechanisms linking autonomic dysfunction with poorer clinical outcomes in critical illness remain unclear. We hypothesized that baroreflex dysfunction alone is sufficient to cause cardiac impairment through neurohormonal activation of (NADPH oxidase-dependent) oxidative stress resulting in increased expression of G-protein coupled receptor kinase (GRK)-2, a key negative regulator of cardiac function. Design: Laboratory/clinical investigations. Setting: University laboratory/medical centers. Subjects: Adult rats; wild-type/NAPDH oxidase subunit-2 (NOX-2) deficient mice; elective surgical patients. Interventions: Cardiac performance was assessed by transthoracic echocardiography following experimental baroreflex dysfunction (BD, sino-aortic denervation) in rats and mice. Immunoblots assessed GPCR recycling proteins expression in rodent cardiomyocytes and …

Geometry Of Holocene Tidal Notches – Sea Level Markers At Perachora Peninsula, Gulf Of Corinth, Greece, S Schneiderwind, M Kázmér, S Boulton, I Papanikolaou, K Reicherter Jul 2016

Geometry Of Holocene Tidal Notches – Sea Level Markers At Perachora Peninsula, Gulf Of Corinth, Greece, S Schneiderwind, M Kázmér, S Boulton, I Papanikolaou, K Reicherter

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Tidal notches are a generally accepted sea level indicator that, when different from mean sea level, witness tectonic activity at or near coastlines. However, how to infer related information is controversial since tectonic uplift from a single seismic event is not likely to exceed several decimetres. High resolution laser scanning offers the availability of close-up views on exposures and to detect evidence for multiple sea level indicators in between major emergence. Statistically representative profiles along exposure were analysed in order to prove for already described tidal notches and to highlight similar shapes in consistent geometries along coastal cliffs of Perachora …

Integrated Transcriptomic And Proteomic Analyses Of P. Falciparum Gametocytes: Molecular Insight Into Sex-Specific Processes And Translational Repression., E Lasonder, Sr Rijpma, Bc Van Schaijk, Wa Hoeijmakers, Et Al

School of Biomedical Sciences

Sexual differentiation of malaria parasites into gametocytes in the vertebrate host and subsequent gamete fertilization in mosquitoes is essential for the spreading of the disease. The molecular processes orchestrating these transitions are far from fully understood. Here, we report the first transcriptome analysis of male and female Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes coupled with a comprehensive proteome analysis. In male gametocytes there is an enrichment of proteins involved in the formation of flagellated gametes; proteins involved in DNA replication, chromatin organization and axoneme formation. On the other hand, female gametocytes are enriched in proteins required for zygote formation and functions after fertilization; …

Atlanta Ariejansseni, A New Species Of Shelled Heteropod From The Southern Subtropical Convergence Zone (Gastropoda, Pterotracheoidea), D Wall-Palmer, Ak Burridge, Ktca Peijnenburg Jul 2016

Atlanta Ariejansseni, A New Species Of Shelled Heteropod From The Southern Subtropical Convergence Zone (Gastropoda, Pterotracheoidea), D Wall-Palmer, Ak Burridge, Ktca Peijnenburg

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

The Atlantidae (shelled heteropods) is a family of microscopic aragonite shelled holoplanktonic gastropods with a wide biogeographical distribution in tropical, sub-tropical and temperate waters. The aragonite shell and surface ocean habitat of the atlantids makes them particularly susceptible to ocean acidification and ocean warming, and atlantids are likely to be useful indicators of these changes. However, we still lack fundamental information on their taxonomy and biogeography, which is essential for monitoring the effects of a changing ocean. Integrated morphological and molecular approaches to taxonomy have been employed to improve the assessment of species boundaries, which give a more accurate picture …


The (Re)-Introduction Of Semiotics Into Medical Education: On The Works Of Thure Von Uexküll, John Tredinnick-Rowe Jul 2016

The (Re)-Introduction Of Semiotics Into Medical Education: On The Works Of Thure Von Uexküll, John Tredinnick-Rowe

Peninsula Medical School

Thure von Uexküll's reputation as a pioneer in biosemiotics and also in psychosomatic medicine is well documented. It is easy to see these disciplines reflected in his notable publications, both in English and in German. However, if one spares the time to filter through all of his articles, monographs, conference papers and editorials in English and in German, a notable gap arises in his English language publications: that of clinical education. This gap in the English language literature may seem unimportant in and of itself, but it speaks volumes when we consider the total absence of medical semiotics in the …

Seasonal Sea Ice Variability In Eastern Fram Strait Over The Last 2000 Years, P Cabedo-Sanz, St Belt Jul 2016

Seasonal Sea Ice Variability In Eastern Fram Strait Over The Last 2000 Years, P Cabedo-Sanz, St Belt

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

We present a high-resolution (ca. 50 years) biomarker-based reconstruction of seasonal sea ice conditions for the West Svalbard continental margin covering the last ca. 2k years. Our reconstruction is based on the distributions of sea ice algal (IP25) and phytoplankton (brassicasterol and HBI III) lipids in marine sediment core MSM5/5-712-1 retrieved in 2007. The individual and combined (PIP25) temporal profiles, together with estimates of spring sea ice concentration [SpSIC (%)] based on a recent calibration, suggest that sea ice conditions during the interval ca. 50–1700 AD may not have been as variable as described in previous reconstructions, with SpSIC generally …

The Effectiveness Of Low Level Laser Therapy And Acupuncture As Interventions For Temporomandibular Joint Disorders In Adults: A Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis, Abel Getachew

The Plymouth Student Scientist

Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) encompass a range of disorders of the temporomandibular joint, the masticatory muscles and other associated structures. The main symptom of TMD patients is pain within the orofacial region. The objective of this review is to compare the effectiveness of low level laser therapy (LLLT) and acupuncture as interventions for TMD. Randomized controlled trials comparing LLLT versus PLT and real acupuncture versus placebo acupuncture were included within the review. The primary outcome was subjective pain intensity expressed via a numerical visual analogue scale (VAS) upon palpation of the masseter muscles. Secondary outcomes include pain intensity via VAS …


The Derivation Of Sea Surface Velocities From Satellite Imagery Using Maximum Cross Correlation (Mcc), Philip Lawrence Jul 2016

The Derivation Of Sea Surface Velocities From Satellite Imagery Using Maximum Cross Correlation (Mcc), Philip Lawrence

The Plymouth Student Scientist

An investigation into the use of cross-correlation statistics to resolve surface velocities from satellite imagery was conducted for the region characterised by the Benguela current at approximately 24oS - 28oS and 9oE - 17oE for July 14th and 15th 2011. Colour images depicting concentrations for chlorophyll_a taken by the MODIS sensor and provided by NASA’s Ocean Color Browser, were used to conduct the statistical analysis using distinguishable surface colour features as tracers. Three runs using different parameter values for the cross correlation were carried out and the output vector fields examined. The first run produced 126 vectors with mean u …


Effects Of Dredging Disturbance On Seagrass Coverage, Sediment Composition And Infaunal Assemblages Within A Sw England Zostera Marina Bed, Rachel Cole Jul 2016

Effects Of Dredging Disturbance On Seagrass Coverage, Sediment Composition And Infaunal Assemblages Within A Sw England Zostera Marina Bed, Rachel Cole

The Plymouth Student Scientist

A previously surveyed Zostera marina (L.) bed in South West England was mapped using SCUBA in September- October 2011 to assess changes in bed extent, environmental and faunal characteristics following disturbance from a scallop dredger in 2006. Surveys indicated a continued absence of seagrass within the dredged area, suggesting no recovery five years after the dredging damage occurred, but new growth was apparent at the shoreward edges of the bed. Within the surveyed area, five conditions were sampled: bare sand (BS), the dredge scar (DS), low density seagrass (LOW: 0-50 shoots 25cm-­­­­2), medium density (MED: 50-100) and high density (HIGH: …


Secondary Sexual Characters In Crawling Water Beetles (Coleoptera: Haliplidae): Evidence For Sexual Conflict?, Katy Potts Jul 2016

Secondary Sexual Characters In Crawling Water Beetles (Coleoptera: Haliplidae): Evidence For Sexual Conflict?, Katy Potts

The Plymouth Student Scientist

Conflict between sexes occurs as a result of asymmetric reproductive trade-offs during mating. When the rates of these trade-offs differ, sexual conflict can occur, this can lead to coevolutionary arms races between the sexes. Such arms races may result in the evolution of secondary sexual characteristics and the coevolution of sex related structures. This study analysed the morphology of three genera of Haliplidae: Haliplus, Brychius and Algophilus using Scanning Electron Microscopy to determine whether there was evidence of sexual conflict. Males in this family possess small tarsal suckers on the fore and mid-legs that aid the male to grasp the …


Comparison Of Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines (Il-6, Il-1α And Il-1β) Released By Mpi And Marco (-/-) Knockout Cells When Stimulated By Heat Killed Fungi- Candida Albicans And Aspergillus Niger, Sherin Chacko Jul 2016

Comparison Of Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines (Il-6, Il-1α And Il-1β) Released By Mpi And Marco (-/-) Knockout Cells When Stimulated By Heat Killed Fungi- Candida Albicans And Aspergillus Niger, Sherin Chacko

The Plymouth Student Scientist

Background: Alveolar Macrophages serve the first line of defence against invading pathogens within the lungs. During the innate immune response, they recognise pathogens such as Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger as “non-self”, phagocytosing them before the pathogen can infiltrate the body and cause disease. There are many Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) that detect specific patterns on the pathogen (PAMPs), inducing an immune response which recruits different immune cells to the site of infection, releasing many cytokines that help with recruiting and clearance of the pathogen. MARCO is a Scavenger receptor that has an important role in the recognition and response …


You'll Face Me: An Investigation Into Improving Puffin Crossing Safety By Controlling Pdu Placement, Ibrahim Aliouche Jul 2016

You'll Face Me: An Investigation Into Improving Puffin Crossing Safety By Controlling Pdu Placement, Ibrahim Aliouche

The Plymouth Student Scientist

The main aim of this project is to analyse and possibly alter a puffin crossing in order to increase pedestrian comfort and safety by making the pedestrian display unit (PDU), the box with the red and green man lights, more visible and the pushbutton easy to reach and press. A literature review was carried out to determine pedestrian field of view and standard puffin crossing component sizes and two zones were determined; the visible and blind zone. As the names would suggest, the visible zone at the puffin crossing is the area in which the pedestrian can see the PDU …


An Investigation Into The Effects Of Underwater Bubble Formations On Sound Speed And Attenuation, Erin King Jul 2016

An Investigation Into The Effects Of Underwater Bubble Formations On Sound Speed And Attenuation, Erin King

The Plymouth Student Scientist

Underwater bubbles are prevalent in the marine environment, from natural sources such as breaking waves, biological and geological activity, and artificial sources such as wash from vessel motion and cavitation. Bubbles can remain entrained within the water column for long periods. Due to the attenuative properties of bubbles and the changes to the sound speed profile their presence causes, bubble clouds present a major challenge to commercial sonar operations. These same properties are used positively through implementation of bubble screens to protect structures and wildlife from marine construction operations. This study sought to examine the effects of bubble clouds at …


"It's Such A Battle": A Phenomenological Account Of Raising A Child On The Autistic Spectrum - A Battle With Bureaucracy And Behaviour, Tara Vassallo Jul 2016

"It's Such A Battle": A Phenomenological Account Of Raising A Child On The Autistic Spectrum - A Battle With Bureaucracy And Behaviour, Tara Vassallo

The Plymouth Student Scientist

A sharp rise in the prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), has led to it becoming one of the most widely researched neurodevelopmental conditions. Although the predominant focus in autism research is child centred, research on parent outcomes has highlighted considerable impact, in terms of parent’s mental health and wellbeing. Previous studies have shown that parents of children with autism suffer extremes of distress, in excess of that of parents of children with other disabilities. However, why this is so is less understood. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to analyse data, gathered from semi-structured interviews of seven parents raising children …

Disrupting Hypoxia-Induced Bicarbonate Transport Acidifies Tumor Cells And Suppresses Tumor Growth, A Mcintyre, A Hulikova, I Ledaki, C Snell, Et Al Jul 2016

Disrupting Hypoxia-Induced Bicarbonate Transport Acidifies Tumor Cells And Suppresses Tumor Growth, A Mcintyre, A Hulikova, I Ledaki, C Snell, Et Al

Peninsula Medical School

Tumor hypoxia is associated clinically with therapeutic resistance and poor patient outcomes. One feature of tumor hypoxia is activated expression of carbonic anhydrase IX (CA9), a regulator of pH and tumor growth. In this study, we investigated the hypothesis that impeding the reuptake of bicarbonate produced extracellularly by CA9 could exacerbate the intracellular acidity produced by hypoxic conditions, perhaps compromising cell growth and viability as a result. In 8 of 10 cancer cell lines, we found that hypoxia induced the expression of at least one bicarbonate transporter. The most robust and frequent inductions were of the sodium-driven bicarbonate transporters SLC4A4 …


A Lionfish (Pterois Miles) Invasion Has Begun In The Mediterranean Sea, Demetris Kletou, Jason M. Hall-Spencer, Periklis Kleitou Jun 2016

A Lionfish (Pterois Miles) Invasion Has Begun In The Mediterranean Sea, Demetris Kletou, Jason M. Hall-Spencer, Periklis Kleitou

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

Until now, few sightings of the alien lionfish Pterois miles have been reported in the Mediterranean and it was questionable whether the species could invade this region like it has in the western Atlantic. Here, we present evidence from divers and fishermen that lionfish have recently increased in abundance and within a year colonised almost the entire south eastern coast of Cyprus, likely due to sea surface warming. At least 23 different fish are reported of which 6 were removed. Groups of lionfish exhibiting mating behaviour have been noted for the first time in the Mediterranean. Managers need this information …

Optical Closure In Marine Waters From In Situ Inherent Optical Property Measurements, Ina Lefering, Fethi Bengil, Charles Trees, Rüdiger Röttgers, David Bowers, Alex Nimmo-Smith, Jill Schwarz, David Mckee Jun 2016

Optical Closure In Marine Waters From In Situ Inherent Optical Property Measurements, Ina Lefering, Fethi Bengil, Charles Trees, Rüdiger Röttgers, David Bowers, Alex Nimmo-Smith, Jill Schwarz, David Mckee

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

Optical closure using radiative transfer simulations can be used to determine the consistency of in situ measurements of inherent optical properties (IOPs) and radiometry. Three scattering corrections are applied to in situ absorption and attenuation profile data for a range of coastal and oceanic waters, but are found to have only very limited impact on subsequent closure attempts for these stations. Best-fit regressions on log-transformed measured and modelled downwards irradiance, Ed, and upwards radiance, Lu, profiles have median slopes between 0.92 – 1.24, revealing a tendency to underestimate Ed and Lu with depth. This is only partly explained by non-inclusion …
