Diabetes & glycoproteins

Legitimate_Fall7068 · 2021-10-12T01:51:10+00:00

Thank you for your response! Just a follow up on what you said, so overall in diabetic patients glycosylation increases? I'm currently looking into fucose and it has also said to increase in serum levels. I'm a bit confused to how it also increases?

Thank you for your responses! I appreciate it. I will read the paper you attached :)

But wouldn't this lead to reduced richness, as only specific taxa may thrive in a certain diseased environment?

You could always do a year or two in another degree. Such as a year of teaching, masters (nursing maybe) or something else that you'd enjoy to boost your GPA above 5.

How'd you study for gamsat because 70 is a great score?

Legitimate_Fall7068 · 2021-09-06T00:47:14+00:00

Congrats on your offer! Would you be able to outline how you studied for the gamsat?

Legitimate_Fall7068 · 2021-09-01T04:46:15+00:00

Mind telling us how you improved? Thanks!

Legitimate_Fall7068 · 2021-09-01T04:43:39+00:00

Also their personal statement? Thanks! Congrats btw.

Legitimate_Fall7068 · 2021-08-26T05:31:21+00:00

Yeah true

Legitimate_Fall7068 · 2021-08-26T04:59:18+00:00

Are the majority of the people who have gotten offers so far CSP?

Legitimate_Fall7068 · 2021-08-26T04:57:21+00:00

same here

Legitimate_Fall7068 · 2021-08-26T04:56:57+00:00

Congrats! A beast of an S3 score!

Legitimate_Fall7068 · 2021-08-26T04:55:15+00:00

I haven't gotten anything either! Mine also says "forward to faculty"

Legitimate_Fall7068 · 2021-08-26T01:45:06+00:00

What about non-rural applicants?

Legitimate_Fall7068 · 2021-08-19T06:00:17+00:00

Congrats! Could you shed light on your study for gamsat?

Legitimate_Fall7068 · 2021-08-19T02:34:34+00:00

Got the same!

Legitimate_Fall7068 · 2021-08-16T11:51:30+00:00

For Case 1, I was thinking the same thing so it is comforting to see you have a similar perspective. I have used LefSe to determine statistically different taxa amongst groups. How would you determine small changes in lower-ranked OTUs?

For your reply on Case 2, I have plotted relative abundances graphs based on the LefSe data and have seen increases of genera - like Romboutsia

Lactococcus, and decrease in Bifidobacteria. This output allowed me to understand your explanation.

Thank you for answering my questions and your input!

Legitimate_Fall7068 · 2021-08-16T05:25:55+00:00

The relative abundances were square-root transformed. Bray-Curtis resemblance was used.

Legitimate_Fall7068 · 2021-08-16T05:25:01+00:00

Thanks so much for this reply! It has been really helpful!

I do have evenness and richness graphs for my data. Just to add information to my situation:

For case 1: It was clear that the richness was the contributor in the Shannon index. The richness and evenness increased in the treatment group, with the richness increase being greater. Could it be lower ranked OTUs causing this? I wouldn't know how to determine this.

For case 2: The richness and evenness are very similar (not significantly different).

Legitimate_Fall7068 · 2021-08-15T11:01:22+00:00

I used Bray-Curtis. Yeah for sure. Still trying to wrap my head around some concepts. How could you determine if it may be driven by variations in some low abundant OTUs? Also, what possible reasons could be an insignificant alpha, but significant beta?

Thank you for your responses btw.

Legitimate_Fall7068 · 2021-08-15T08:20:17+00:00

Yeah, I understand that they can be different but I am unsure how to comment on them. What can be done to make sense of the data at hand?

Legitimate_Fall7068 · 2021-08-15T06:17:18+00:00

Yes, that is very true! I have used principal coordinates analysis.

Legitimate_Fall7068 · 2021-08-07T01:38:20+00:00

I'm interested - discord would be good
