Title of Thesis:‘ Methods for outlier detection in clinical registries.’
Clinical registries collect data about specific patient groups( including people with a certain disease or undergoing a certain surgical procedure) to monitor their outcomes and improve their quality of care. Registries will often compare patient care and outcomes( such as mortality) between hospitals( benchmarking) and then use statistical methods to find any hospitals that have significantly worse outcomes( outliers) that can be targeted for improvement. This thesis evaluates the accuracy of different benchmarking and outlier detection methods, and makes recommendations for the best clinical registry settings for improving outlier detection accuracy.

Title of Thesis:‘ Anticancer Effects of Gamma- and Delta-Tocotrienols on Human Colorectal Cancer Cells: Elucidating the Mechanisms of Actions Using Cell-Based and in-Silico Approach.’
Colorectal cancer( CRC) is a serious global health issue, causing around 700,000 deaths annually. This study explores the potential of tocotrienols( T3s)- natural compounds from palm and rice bran oils as anticancer agents. Specifically, gamma( gammaT3) and delta( deltaT3) were tested on four CRC cell types. Results showed these T3s reduced cancer cell growth, triggered cell death( apoptosis), and altered cancer-related genes. DeltaT3 showed slightly stronger effects. Computational models confirmed T3s interact with key cancer pathways. Overall, T3s hold promise as natural treatments for CRC, warranting further research.
