C-reactive protein and bacterial infection in preterm infants
(University of Nairobi,, 1990-03)
Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration was measured by a new solid phase ligand-binding radiometric monoclonal antibody immunoassay in a prospective study of 193 consecutively born preterm infants. In 104 with no ...
Pulse oximetry in preterm infants
(University of Nairobi,, 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 ...
Texture and mineralogy of soils with repeated additions of pyroclastics (in the Nguu Volcano Area—Machakos District, Kenya)
(University of Nairobi, 1983)
From the Tertiary period onwards, Kenya has experienced repeated episodes of volcanicity, resulting in a large part of the country being covered by volcanic rocks. Soils developed on the volcanic rocks per se (for example, ...
Flow due to a two-dimensional heat source with cross flow in the atmosphere
(1976)
This paper presents a model describing the flow field due to a two-dimensional infinitely long heat source in a stably-stratified atmosphere with a uniform wind cross-flow. The governing equation which is valid for any ...
Gene deletion as the molecular basis for the Kenya-G gamma-HPFH condition.
(University of Nairobi, 1983)
DNA was isolated from the white cells of a subject with the Hb S-Kenya-G gamma-HPFH condition, and digested with the restriction endonucleases Bg1 II, Xba I, and Eco RI. The resulting fragments were identified by standard ...
Characterization of body louse midgut proteins recognized by resistant hosts.
(1996)
The human body louse, Pediculus humanus, showed eighteen midgut proteins ranging between 12 and 117 kDa, when analysed by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. Seven of them (12 kDa, 17 kDa, 29 kDa, 35 kDa, 40 kDa, 55 kDa and 97 kDa) ...
Immunization of rabbits with faecal extract of Pediculus humanus, the human body louse: effects on louse development and reproduction
(1997)
Immunization of rabbits with a faecal extract of the human body louse (Pediculus humanus) induced a high titre of specific IgG. The mean weight of blood taken by females fed on the immunized rabbits was significantly lower ...
Brain aging in a sample of normal Egyptians cognition, education, addiction and smoking.
(1997-05)
The impact of duration of education, cannabis addiction and smoking on cognition and brain aging is studied in 211 normal Egyptian volunteers with mean age 46.4+/-3.6 years (range: 20-76 years). Subjects were classified ...
