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 ...
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 ...
Primary hydatid cyst of the thigh: on seven cases
(University of Nairobi, 2013-04)
We report on seven cases that presented a benign soft-tissue mass in the thigh muscles. Ultrasonography provided the diagnosis of hydatid cyst. Total pericystecomy was performed. We point out the importance of preoperative ...
Weather, Climate and Global Warming

Effect of rat serum lipoproteins on mRNA levels and amiodarone metabolism by cultured primary rat hepatocytes
(2013)
Hyperlipidemia can significantly increase amiodarone (AM) in vivo liver uptake and decrease its velocity of microsomal metabolism. Here, hepatocytes isolated from normolipidemic (NL) and hyperlipidemic rats were incubated ...
Engineered reversal of drug resistance in cancer cells--metastases suppressor factors as change agents.
(University of Nairobi, 2013)
Building molecular correlates of drug resistance in cancer and exploiting them for therapeutic intervention remains a pressing clinical need. To identify factors that impact drug resistance herein we built a model that ...
