Effects of Locations On-and Off-Epigeal Termitaria on Vegetation Lifeforms in Katolo Sub-Location of Kisumu County, Kenya
(SCIRJ, 2017)
Epigeal termitaria host richer vegetation assemblages ascribed partly to their elevated nutrients levels in savannah
ecosystems. However, elaborate quantitative description of how abundance of various vegetation lifeforms ...
Vitamin D status in healthy black African adults at a tertiary hospital in Nairobi, Kenya: a cross sectional study
(BioMed Central, 2018-12-01)
Vitamin D has been known since the twentieth Century for its benefits in bone health. Recent observational studies have demonstrated its benefits in infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and non-communicable diseases ...
Determination of reference intervals for common chemistry and immunoassay tests for Kenyan adults based on an internationally harmonized protocol and up-to-date statistical methods
(Public Library of Science, 2020-07-09)
Due to a lack of reliable reference intervals (RIs) for Kenya, we set out to determine RIs for
40 common chemistry and immunoassay tests as part of the IFCC global RI project.
Metabolic syndrome and its predictors in an urban population in Kenya: a cross sectional study
(BioMed Central, 2017-12-01)
The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a clustering of interrelated risk factors which doubles the risk of cardio-vascular disease (CVD) in 5–10 years and increases the risk of type 2 diabetes 5 fold. The identification of ...
Comparison of equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate in screening for chronic kidney disease in asymptomatic black Africans: a cross sectional study
(BioMed Central, 2017-12)
Several equations have been developed to estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The common equations used were derived from populations predominantly comprised of Caucasians with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Some of ...
Measurement of improvement achieved by participation in international laboratory accreditation in sub-Saharan Africa: the Aga Khan University Hospital Nairobi experience
(Oxford University Press, 2014-02-02)
As part of the ISO 15189:2007 accreditation process, the Aga Khan University Hospital Nairobi laboratory became the first internationally accredited hospital laboratory in sub-Saharan Africa outside South Africa in 2011 ...
Complete blood count reference intervals from a healthy adult urban population in Kenya
(Public Library of Science, 2018-06-07)
There are racial, ethnic and geographical differences in complete blood count (CBC) blood count (CBC) and therefore it is necessary to establish RIs that are population specific. Several studies have been carried out in ...
Influence Buffer Zone Regimes Area on the Protected Tree Species Richness and Density in Kakamega Forest, Kakamega County, Kenya
(East African Scholars Publisher, Kenya, 2020-02)
Buffer zone regimes (BZRs) enhance protection of forests in the world. For
instance, they influence protection of about 50% in Latin America 30% in Sub-Saharan
Africa and 63% in temperate countries. In Kenya, Nyayo Tea ...
Norms of Derivations Implemented by S-Universal Operators
(International Journal of Mathematical Analysis, 2011)
Let H be a complex Hilbert space and B(H) the algebra of all
bounded linear operators on H. For A, B ∈ B(H), we define inner
derivations implemented by A,B respectively on B(H) by ΔA(X) =
AX−XA, ΔB(X) = BX−XB and a ...
Genetic analysis of HIV-1 subtypes in Nairobi, Kenya
(Public Library of Science, 2008-09-11)
Genetic analysis of a viral infection helps in following its spread in a given population, in tracking the routes of infection and, where applicable, in vaccine design. Additionally, sequence analysis of the viral genome ...
