High-frequency sum rules for the quasi-one-dimensional quantum plasma dielectric tensor. II. Spin effect
(Univesity of Nairobi, 1993-04)
We derive a high-frequency expansion for all elements of the quasi-one-dimensional quantum plasma dielectric tensor atT=0 K for quantum particles with spins. In addition to the known results for spinless case, we find that ...

Thyroid hormone profiles in patients with chronic renal failure on conservative management and regular haemodialysis.
(1992)
Patients with chronic non-thyroid illness (NTI) generally show biochemical features of hypothyroidism despite their being clinically euthyroid. Using assays that employ the antibody coated tubes technique, we measured ...
Tryptophan metabolism and vitamin B6 nutritional status in patients with schistosomiasis mansoni and in infected mice.
(1992)
Patients infected with Schistosoma mansoni showed an abnormal response to a test dose of tryptophan, with little increase in the urinary excretion of kynurenine, hydroxykynurenine, xanthurenic and kynurenic acids, N1-methyl ...
Evaluation and surgical treatment of solitary thyroid nodules.
(, 1995)
This is a prospective study based on 146 consecutive thyroidectomies over a two year period (July 1990 to June 1992). All patients with solitary thyroid nodules which were suspicious or equivocal on fine needle aspiration ...
Does shortening matter after clavicular fractures?
(1999)
Healing of clavicular fractures with shortening of 15 mm or more has been associated with poor function and open reduction and internal fixation has been recommended as the appropriate initial treatment. We studied 41 ...

(1994)
Cerebral malaria is the main cause of death in severe Plasmodium falciparum infection and is one of the most important medical emergencies. No conclusive theory exists on the pathogenesis of cerebral malaria, although it ...
Antibody responses to in vitro translation products following albendazole therapy for Echinococcus granulosus.
(1991)
Immunoprecipitation of antigens translated in vitro from Echinococcus granulosus RNA revealed that albendazole treatment of human hydatidosis induced antibodies to previously undetectable antigens and that the response to ...
