Pattern of acute myocardial infarction in an African country
(University of Nairobi., 2010-12)
OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this study was to describe the pattern of acute myocardial infarction in an African country. These data are important for prevention strategies but are scarce from sub-Saharan African countries ...
Prolapsed Inter-vertebral disc in an African population
(2012)
Characteristics of Prolapsed Intervertebral Disc (PID) in Africa, reports are scanty and
often disparate PID in Kenya is commonest in the lower lumbar region of young people more in females and is associated with trauma
Comparative regional morphometric changes in human uterine artery before and during pregnancy
(2012)
INTRODUCTION:
Uterine artery undergoes structural modifications at different physiologic states. It is expected that due to its unique course, hemodynamic stresses in the vessel would vary resulting in differences in ...
Pediatric stroke in an African country
(2010-01)
Background:
The pattern of pediatric stroke displays ethnic and geographical variations. There are few reports from black Sub-Saharan Africa, although relevant data are important in prevention, clinical diagnosis, ...
Morphometry and Variations of Bony Ponticles of the Atlas Vertebrae (C1) in Kenyans
(2010)
Atlas bridges, the bony outgrowths over the third segment of the vertebral artery are associated with compression
of the artery and nerves. There are limited studies comparing morphometry of the complete atlas bridges and ...
The suprascapula notch: Its morphology and distance from the glenoid cavityin a Kenyan population
(2010-11)
The morphology of the suprascapular notch has been associated with suprascapular entrapment neuropathy, as well as injury to the suprascapular nerve in arthroscopic shoulder procedures. This study aimed to describe the ...
Anatomy and prevalence of atlas vertebrae bridges in a Kenyan population: An osteological study
(2010)
Atlas bridges are bony outgrowths over the third segment of the vertebral artery. They may exist as incipient, incomplete, or complete bridges, converting the groove into a deep sulcus, incomplete, or complete foramen ...
Age changes in the structure of human atrioventricular annuli
(2012)
Atrioventricular annuli are important in hemodynamic stability and support to tricuspid and mitral valves. Anatomical features of the annuli such as circumference, organization of connective tissue fibers, myocardium and ...
Structural organisation of tunica intima in the aorta of the goat
(2010-08)
The structural organisation of tunica intima in the aorta is important for its
integrity, prediction, and diagnosis of atherosclerosis. The goat is a suitable
model for cardiovascular studies, but the structure of its ...
Sex variations in the structure of human atrioventricular annuli
(2012-02)
Atrioventricular annuli are important in haemodynamic flexibility, competence, and support for tricuspid and mitral valves. The anatomical features of the annuli, such as circumference, organisation of connective tissue ...
