The secretory characteristics of mast cells isolated from the human large intestinal mucosa and muscle
(1988)
The use of a collagenase dispersion technique has allowed us to compare size, histamine content and the secretory characteristics of mast cells from the mucosal and muscle layers of the human large intestine. Mast cells ...
Human mast cell heterogeneity: histamine release from mast cells dispersed from skin, lung, adenoids, tonsils, and colon in response to IgE-dependent and nonimmunologic stimuli
(1988)
We have compared the ability of anti-IgE, calcium ionophore A23187, substance P, compound 48/80, poly-L-lysine, and morphine to release histamine from mast cells of human skin, lung, adenoids, tonsils, and colon. Use of a ...
Evaluation of the alkaline haematin D-575 method for haemoglobin estimation in east Africa
(1994)
In many health facilities in east Africa, haemoglobin estimation is performed using visual colour comparison methods. Efforts to establish colorimetric methods face numerous constraints, including the unavailability of ...
Cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania tropica in Kenya
(1987)
9 leishmanial strains, isolated from cutaneous papulonodular lesions on 3 patients, were characterized by cellulose acetate electrophoresis using 7 enzymes. The patterns obtained were indistinguishable from those of a ...
Red cell, white cell and platelet autoantibodies in visceral leishmaniasis
(1984)
The blood of twelve patients with parasitologically proved visceral leishmaniasis was examined for the presence of antibodies against blood cells. The direct antiglobulin test (Coombs' test) was positive in ten. IgG and ...
RTV silicone insoles
(1984)
A cheap and fast method of providing long term accommodating insoles is described. Room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone rubber is used, with suitable coverings, to provide pain relief and support for feet and ankles. ...
