Differential expression of two plant-like enolases with distinct enzymatic and antigenic properties during stage conversion of the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii
(University of Nairobi, 2001)The protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii differentially expresses two distinct enolase isoenzymes known as ENO1 and ENO2, respectively. To understand differential gene expression during tachyzoite to bradyzoite conversion, ... -
Differential immune responses in mice infected with the tissue-dwelling nematode Trichinella zimbabwensis
(2015)To improve diagnostic tools, immunotherapies and vaccine development for trichinellosis surveillance and control there is a need to understand the host immune responses induced during infection with Trichinella zimbabwensis, ... -
Differential scanning calorimetric studies of a Bacillus halodurans alpha-amylase
(2005)The thermal unfolding of Amy 34, a recombinant alpha-amylase from Bacillus halodurans, has been investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The denaturation of Amy 34 involves irreversible processes with ... -
Difficult gallbladder surgery, improving patient outcomes through appropriate surgical decisions
(University of Nairobi, 2012)Background: Cholecystectomy is becoming a common operation in Africa. The right upper quadrant is regarded by many as the most difficult area of the abdomen because of the variable anatomy, small sized ducts and the irritant ... -
Difficult tracheal extubation due to endotracheal tube malfunction: A challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic
(University of Nairobi, 2021-06)Tracheal extubation is an aerosol-generating medical procedure. A difficult tracheal extubation results in a serious complication that increases the risk of respiratory aerosol and pathogen spread, especially during the ... -
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis: case report and literature review
(2016)Background: Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH) is a common disorder of unknown aetiology that is characterized by back pain and spinal stiffness. Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis is a common disease, ... -
Digital Biosurveillance for Zoonotic Disease Detection in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2021-06)Infectious disease surveillance is crucial for early detection and situational awareness of disease outbreaks. Digital biosurveillance monitors large volumes of open-source data to flag potential health threats. This study ... -
