Migration-induced changes in blood pressure: a controlled longitudinal study.
(1985)
A longitudinal study of the effects of migration on blood pressure and related factors is being carried out in members of a black Kenyan population who migrate from a traditional rural community to an urban environment. ...
Blood pressure and associated factors in a rural Kenyan community.
(Univesity of Nairobi, 1984)
Blood pressure (BP) and associated factors were determined in 1737 men in a remote Kenyan agricultural community. Systolic BP showed no significant rise with age until after 54 years; diastolic BP showed a small rise with ...
Determinants of blood pressure changes due to urbanization: a longitudinal study
(1985)
Changes in blood pressure (BP) and associated factors which occur on migration from a rural to an urban environment are under observation in a longitudinal study. Blood pressures, heart rate (HR), urinary electrolytes, ...
Predisposition of humans to infection with Schistosoma mansoni: evidence from the reinfection of individuals following chemotherapy.
(1988)
In a study of faecal egg counts of Schistosoma mansoni from 359 people of all ages from a rural Kenyan community, a positive association was demonstrated between infection intensity in individuals before treatment and ...
Visceral leishmaniasis unresponsive to antimonial drugs. II. Response to high dosage sodium stibogluconate or prolonged treatment with pentamidine.
(1985)
Ten Kenyan patients with visceral leishmaniasis unresponsive to sodium stibogluconate, at a dose of 16 to 20 mg Sb/kg body-weight/day given for 30 to 98 days, were treated with 20 mg Sb/kg bw given every eight hours. This ...
Human lymphocyte proliferative response to a sporozoite T cell epitope correlates with resistance to falciparum malaria.
(1989)
To identify vaccine relevant T cell epitopes on the circumsporozoite (CS) protein of Plasmodium falciparum, the lymphocyte proliferative responses to 10 CS protein derived peptides were studied in 28 adult Kenyans, and ...
Naturally acquired antibodies to sporozoites do not prevent malaria: vaccine development implications.
(1987)
The first human vaccines against the malaria parasite have been designed to elicit antibodies to the circumsporozoite protein of Plasmodium falciparum. However, it is not known whether any level of naturally acquired ...
Immunity after treatment of human schistosomiasis mansoni. II. Identification of resistant individuals, and analysis of their immune responses.
(1985)
Intensities of re-infection were monitored at three-monthly intervals after treatment of Schistosoma mansoni infections in a group of 119 Kenyan schoolchildren, whose levels of water contact were also observed. 22 children ...
Blood pressure patterns in relation to age, weight and urinary electrolytes in three Kenyan communities.
(1985)
The blood pressure patterns of three Kenyan communities have been studied: 861 members of the Luo tribe in a rural community, 281 members of the Kamba tribe in a rural community and 310 "urban" Luo living in Nairobi. The ...
Electrocardiographic changes during treatment of leishmaniasis with pentavalent antimony (sodium stibogluconate).
(1985)
Serial electrocardiograms (ECGs) were obtained during 65 courses of sodium stibogluconate treatment in 59 Kenyan patients with leishmaniasis (56 visceral and 3 cutaneous). ECG abnormalities developed during 54% of the ...
