Abstract:
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease which is characterized by high level of autoantibody detected in the body. This disease is female predominant with a male to female ratio 1: 9. SLE could cause damage to different organ systems and central nervous system is one of them. Patients diagnosed with SLE could suffer from psychiatric problems like cognitive dysfunction, depression and anxiety. Neurogenesis refers to the process by which new neurons are generated. Although it has been widely reported that neurogenesis could be enhanced under pathological conditions such as

Abstract:
Mathematical modelling and computational simulation are effective tools in studying the function of the cardiovascular system and diagnosing the progress of diseases in this system, especially when clinical experiments or measurements are limited or not capable to proceed. A variety of models have been developed related to different segments in the cardiovascular system, such as the heart, the valves, the systemic arteries and the pulmonary arteries, etc. Among these studies, modelling the left ventricle (LV) and systemic arteries (SA) have drawn a great deal of attention in the last several d

Abstract:
Arthropod post-embryonic life is characterized by periodical moult cycles. These events are essential during individual growth, given that a rigid exoskeleton wraps them. When a moult event corresponds with a relatively sudden and conspicuous change in animal’s structure, is called metamorphosis; this phenomenon is characterized by a relatively high level of processes like apoptosis and cellular proliferation. For this reason, the study of the processes involved during metamorphosis has become a very important subject in evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) of arthropods. The principa

Abstract:
The main theme of the thesis is systemic risk measurement. This extremely young field of research has gained a lot of attention in recent times from academics and practioners alike because of global financial crises. The main contributions of the thesis can be grouped in four broad items. Firstly, we propose a novel categorization of the risk measures advanced in recent years based on the modeling assumptions they rely upon. We identified four categories: measures based on portfolio theory, econometric indicators, network analysis and measures based on multivariate default distribution. The

Abstract:
Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are used in screening and diagnosis of autoimmune connective tissue disorders including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). CNS related disorders are prevalent in SLE patients (–80%) and ANA binds specific sites within the brain. To investigate ANA infiltration across the blood-brain barrier (BBB), an ANA injectable Lewis rat model was created using 3 rat groups (saline, ANA, and ANA with histamine; since histamine promotes BBB permeability). ANA serum levels were tested for all three rat groups and rats injected with histamine demonstrated signs of histadelia. Bra

Abstract:
Diseases caused by fungi are increasing worldwide and are often associated with high mortality rates. In particular, the normally harmless commensal Candida albicans can cause serious disease if immunological and physiological barriers are perturbed, leading to systemic infection, which is fatal in up to 45% of cases. The adaptive immune response is believed to be important in protection against systemic candidiasis, however, the roles of different helper T (Th) cell subsets, particularly Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells, remain largely unexplored. The aims of this study were to adapt a mouse
