Pulmonary venous flow reversal and its relationship to atrial mechanical function in normal subjects--Umeå general population heart Study
(Department of Medical Physiology, College of Health Sciences, University of Nairobi, 2005-03)AIMS: Although pulmonary venous flow reversal (Ar) is useful in the evaluation of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function, it is often difficult to study with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). We determined the ... -
Pulse oximetry in preterm infants
(University of Nairobi,Department of Paediatrics and Neonatal Medicine, 1987-09)One hundred and twenty five measurements of arterial oxygen saturation (Stcao2) obtained with a transcutaneous pulse oximeter were compared with direct arterial oxygen tension (Pao2) in 13 preterm infants with predominantly ... -
Pulse oximetry values of neonates admitted for care and receiving routine oxygen therapy at a resource-limited hospital in Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2017)AIM: There are 2.7 million neonatal deaths annually, 75% of which occur in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Effective treatment of hypoxaemia through tailored oxygen therapy could reduce neonatal mortality and prevent ... -

Purification and characterization of a midgut lectin-trypsin complex from the tsetse fly Glossina longipennis.
(University of NairobiInternational Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology, Nairobi, Kenya, 1995)A blood-meal-induced lectin (agglutinin) with proteolytic activity was isolated from midgut extracts of Glossina longipennis by a two-step procedure involving anion-exchange chromatography. It is a glycoprotein [native ... -
