Surgical significance of brachial arterial variants in a Kenyan population
(University of Nairobi, 2012)
Background: Knowledge of the variant anatomy of the brachial artery is important in radial arterial grafts for coronary bypass, percutaneous trans-radial approach to coronary angiography, angioplasty and flap surgery. These ...
Surgical anatomy of the profunda brachii artery
(University of Nairobi, 2012)
Variations in the origin and termination of the profunda brachii artery (PBA) are rarely described in literature. Knowledge of this unusual anatomy is important during brachial artery catheterization and harvesting of ...
Non-expression of androgen receptors in the carotid intimal medial zone
(University of Nairobi, 2012)
Androgens and oestrogens have been implicated in the noted gender differences in the increasing intimal
medial thickness. Oestrogens are protective in females while the role of androgens as male disadvantage
remains in ...
Variant origin of the superior thyroid artery in a Kenyan population
(University of Nairobi, 2012-03)
Variant anatomy of the superior thyroid artery is important during surgical procedures, interpretation of angiograms, and interventional radiography in the neck. Pattern of the variations shows population differences but ...
Variant origin of the lateral circumflex femoral artery in a black Kenyan population
(University of Nairobi., 2012-02)
Variant origin of lateral circumflex femoral artery (FA) is important during harvesting of anterolateral thigh flaps, aortopopliteal by-pass, coronary artery grafting, and vascularised iliac transplant. The frequencies of ...
Evaluating Low Back Pain Patients for Prolapsed Interverbral Disc in a Kenyan Teaching Hospital
(University of Nairobi, 2012)
Background
Accurate evaluation of low back pain is essential for its rational management. The extent of use of clinical and imaging findings in identification of prolapsed intervertebral disk varies between centers. In ...

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 ...
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 ...
