Orbital melanocytoma.
(University of Nairobi, 2008)
PURPOSE:
To report a case of intermediate grade meningeal melanocytoma presenting as a recurrent orbital mass.
INTRODUCTION:
Melanocytomas are rare, primary, pigmented tumors of the central nervous system, usually ...
Coexistent gastric primary choriocarcinoma and adenocarcinoma.
(University of Nairobi, 2009)
Choriocarcinomas are commonly gestational and intrauterine or gonadal in origin. Nongestational and extragonadal disease, especially in the stomach is extremely rare with a poorer prognosis and early metastasis. We herein ...
The potential for antitick plants as components of an integrated tick control strategy
(University of Nairobi., 2004)
Wilms tumor survival in Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2013-06)
PURPOSE:
Survival from Wilms Tumor (WT) exceeds 90% at 5 years in developed nations, whereas at last report, 2-year event-free survival (EFS) in Kenya reached only 35%. To clarify factors linked to these poor outcomes in ...
A stage-wise approach for the analysis of multi-environment trials.
(University of Nairobi, 2012)
Plant breeders and variety testing agencies routinely test candidate genotypes (crop varieties, lines, test hybrids) in multiple environments. Such multi-environment trials can be efficiently analysed by mixed models. A ...
Differential transcription of two highly divergent gut-expressed Bm86 antigen gene homologues in the tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus
(2011)
The transcriptional control of gene expression is not well documented in the Arthropoda. We describe transcriptional analysis of two exceptionally divergent homologues (Ra86) of the Bm86 gut antigen from Rhipicephalus ...
Comparisons of single-stage and two-stage approaches to genomic selection.
(University of Nairobi, 2013)
Genomic selection (GS) is a method for predicting breeding values of plants or animals using many molecular markers that is commonly implemented in two stages. In plant breeding the first stage usually involves computation ...
