Variant Anatomy of the Nasal and Labial Branches of the Infraorbital Nerve.
(University of Nairobi, 2016)Comprehensive understanding of the variations in the branches of the infraorbital nerve (ION) is vital to the prevention of iatrogenic nerve injury and successful ION blockade during orbitozygomatic facial procedures. Only ... -
Variant anatomy of the right portal vein in a black Kenyan population
(Department of Human anatomy, 2013)Surface mapping of the liver before invasive procedures depends on a proper understanding of its segmental vasculature. The right portal vein ramification and lengths show marked variations and these mostly involve its ... -
Variant anatomy of the testicular artery among black Kenyans
(Anatomy Journal of Africa., 2019-01-14)Variant anatomy of the testicular artery is important for safe surgery in the retroperioneal area, and accurate diagnosis of testicular and renal disease. The pattern of origin, number, course and branching display ethnic ... -
Variant Branching of the Common Femoral Artery in a Black Kenyan Population: Trifurcation is Common
(University of Nairobi, 2015)Branching pattern of common femoral artery is important during artery catheterization, orthopaedic, plastic and general surgery in the proximal thigh. Frequency of variant branching shows ethnic variation but there are no ... -
Variant origin of the lateral circumflex femoral artery in a black Kenyan population
(University of Nairobi.Department of Human Anatomy, University of Nairobi, Kenya, 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 ... -
Variant origin of the superior cerebellar artery in a black {Kenyan} population
(University of Nairobi, 2015-05-20)Knowledge of variant origin of the superior cere- bellar artery is important during neuroradiological and neurosurgical procedures at the basilar termi- nation and clivus regions, and may influence ... -
Variant origin of the superior thyroid artery in a Kenyan population
(University of NairobiDepartment of Human Anatomy, 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 termination of basilar artery in a black Kenyan population
(University of NairobiCollege of Health Science, 2012)Variant termination of basilar artery influences occurrence of atherosclerosis and aneurysms, and is also important during cerebrovascular surgery and interventional neuroradiology at the basilar bifurcation, interpeduncular ... -
Variant termination of the left coronary artery: pentafurcation is not uncommon
(Eur. J. Anat., 2014)Variant termination of the left coronary artery is important in interpreting effects of its occlusion, and in guiding cardiac surgery and intervention procedures. It also constitutes a geometric risk factor for atherosclerosis. ... -
Variants in host viral replication cycle genes are associated with heterosexual HIV-1 acquisition in Africans.
(2014-01-23)OBJECTIVE:: We evaluated genetic variants in 51 candidate genes encoding proteins that interact with HIV-1 during the virus life cycle for association with HIV-1 outcomes in an African cohort. METHODS:: Using a ... -
Variation in and risk factors for paediatric inpatient all-cause mortality in a low income setting: data from an emerging clinical information network.
(2017)BACKGROUND: Hospital mortality data can inform planning for health interventions and may help optimize resource allocation if they are reliable and appropriately interpreted. However such data are often not available ... -
Variation in Lipophorin Titres During Development in Solitarious and Gregarious Schistocerca gregaria (Forskål) (Orthoptera: Acrididae)
(Department of Biochemistry, University of Nairobi, 2001-03)The levels of lipophorin, the principal insect haemolymph lipoprotein, were estimated during the development of solitary and gregarious phases of Schistocerca gregaria using single radial immunodiffusion. In the gregarious ... -
Variation in protein concentrations in acute and chronic ascites in Dirofilaria immitis-infected dogs.
(University of Nairobi.Department of Clinical Studies, 1996)Microfilaremic dogs, developing ascites acutely following a reaction to diethylcarbamazine therapy, had similar protein concentrations in their ascitic fluid and plasma. In contrast, in dogs chronically infected with ... -
