(1978)
Massive small bowel resection is imperative in the management of several pathological conditions and is accompanied by high operative mortality. In those that survive, serious nutritional disturbances are inevitable. ...
Pharmacokinetics of intravenous cyclophosphamide in man, estimated by gas-liquid chromatography.
(1978)
A simple gas chromatographic assay utilising alkali flame ionisation detection is described for the estimation of cyclophosphamide as its trifluoroacetate derivative from plasma. Examination of five patients following ...
New Australopithecines from East Rudolf, Kenya. II.
(1972)
Eleven new specimens of fossil hominids from the Plio-Pleistocene sediments of Lake Rudolf, Kenya, are described. They include the following: two left mandibular bodies; parts of two right mandibular bodies; a massive ...
Induction of labour in sheep and in humans by single doses of corticosteroids
(1973)
In sheep the administration of single intramuscular injections of dexamethasone into the fetus was shown to be an effective method of initiating parturition. In a controlled trial in women who had gone beyond the 41st week ...

This is a case of Munchausen's syndrome which presented in an atypical manner, viz. cessation of menstruation. The patient had been to 25 doctors and had been investigated with great zeal. The case is published along with ...
Effect of intravenous prolactin infusion on arterial blood pressure in rabbits
(University of Nairobi, 1973)
The effects of intravenous infusions of prolactin on the arterial pressures of decerebrate rabbits were studied. Four groups of animals were used, controls which received saline only and three groups which received prolactin ...
Chronic hypertension in rabbits induced by bilateral placement of rigid casts around the carotid sinus regions
(University of Nairobi, 1972)
Blood pressure was measured by the ear capsule method in 12 conscious rabbits. After a two-week control period, at operation under anaesthesia rapid-setting dental cement casts were placed bilaterally around the carotid ...
Some characteristics of two azoreductase systems in rat liver. Relevance to the activity of 2-[4'-di(2″-bromopropyl)-aminophenylazo]benzoic acid (CB10-252), a compound possessing latent cytotoxic activity
(1975)
The system involved in the reduction of 2-[4'-di(2″-bromopropyl)aminophenylazo]benzoic acid (CB10-252), an agent designed for treating primary liver cell cancer, has been demonstrated to be localised mainly in the 108 000 ...
Physicochemical characters of a ribonucleoprotein fragment extracted from rat brain, and their modification due to either environmental or chemical influence
(University of Nairobi, 1974-12)
A soluble, homogeneous ribonucleoprotein (RNP) fragment was extracted from rat brain. The chemical structure and the conformation of this fragment were affected by environmental conditions or by the administration of ...
Interaction of chloropromazine with adrenochrome and interference of a possible endogenous psychotogenic agent with some synaptic enzyme activities
(University of Nairobi, 1972)
Chloropromazine is able to interact with adrenochrome yielding a complex more stable than the acetylcholine-adrenochrome complex postulated as the endo-genous psychotogenic agent in mental illness. The toxicity of the ...
