Seventy two patients presenting with stroke to Kenyatta National Hospital were studied between January 1986 and January 1987. The majority were from the rural areas. There were about equal numbers between left and right ...
Haemangiosarcoma in dogs: morphological and clinical findings
(University of Nairobi, 1990)
Haemangiosarcomas in 24 dogs (average age 9 years) were found in the spleen (11 cases) or skin (9) or in bone, heart, liver or tongue (1 each); haemoperitoneum was present in 9 dogs. Metastases to the liver or lungs or ...
Growth rates of ferromanganese encrustations on rocks from the Romanche Fracture Zone, Equatorial Atlantic
(1992)
Based on radiochemical techniques, ferromanganese oxide crusts from the Romanche
Fracture Zone (RFZ) have accretion rates ranging between 1.4 and 2.8 mm/10 years. In
comparison with other ferromanganese deposits, the ...
Outcome of intervention with or without low dose oral interferon alpha in thirty-two HIV-1 seropositive patients in a referral hospital
(University of Nairobi, 1990-07)
Thirty two critically ill patients were admitted to Kenyatta National Hospital with a diagnosis of HIV-1 seropositivity on both ELISA and Western Blot between October 1989 and January 1990. Sixteen of the patients received ...
Angles of branching and the diameters of pulmonary arteries in relation to the distribution of pulmonary lesions in canine dirofilariasis
(University of Nairobi, 1983-11)
Latex casts were made of the pulmonary arteries in 10 normal dogs. These casts were used to measure the angles of deviation of the right and left pulmonary arteries from the pulmonary trunk. The measurements were made in ...
High-frequency sum-rule expansion for relativistic quasi-one-dimensional quantum plasma dielectric tensor IV: Radiation effect
(Univesity of Nairobi, 1994)
A high-frequency sum-rule expansion for all transverse elements of the relativistic quasi-one-dimensional quantum plasma dielectric tensor with spin particles atT=0 K in a situation where the self-consistent magnetic ...
A study of occlusal anomalies and tooth loss in children aged 13-15 years in Nairobi
(University of Nairobi, 1991-12)
Two hundred and fifty one African children aged 13-15 years were examined for specific intra- and inter-arch malocclusions and tooth loss. The children were from 6 schools randomly selected from 154 primary schools in ...
Epidemiology of hepatitis B virus infection in India
(1996)
The average estimated carrier rate of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in India is 4%, with a total pool of approximately 36 million carriers. Wide variations in social, economic, and health factors in different regions may explain ...
Wave propagation in strongly coupled classical plasmas in an external magnetic field
(Univesity of Nairobi, 1988-05)
When a small perturbation is applied to the plasma dispersion, a small shift of frequency due to correlation occurs. This is justified even for strong coupling, since the effect is proportional tok 2 (k is the wave vector) ...
Estimating moisture availability for rice cultivation in Mwea, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1987-10)
Recent climatic events in Africa have shown the need for increased understanding of the vagaries of rainfall and the demands for water. Water availability and usage for agriculture must consider not only amounts but also ...
