Suppression of RANTES in children with Plasmodium falciparum malaria
(Haematologica, 2006)
Severe malarial anemia (MA) is the primary manifestation of severe malaria among
children in areas of holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission. Although overproduction of inflammatory-derived cytokines are implicated ...
Effects of cation siting and spin–spin interactions on the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of Cu2+ exchanged X Faujasite zeolite
(North-Holland, 2006-11-21)
Copper(II) exchanged Na X Faujasite zeolite was cation exchanged at levels from one Cu(II) in 30 unit cells (0.033 Cu(II)/UC) to 38 Cu(II) per unit cell (38 Cu/UC) and was examined by continuous wave and two-pulse and ...
A macrophage migration inhibitory factor promoter polymorphism is associated with high-density parasitemia in children with malaria
(Nature Publishing Group, 2006)
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pleiotropic cytokine that regulates innate and adaptive immune responses to bacterial and parasitic infections. Functional promoter variants in the MIF gene influence ...
Parasitemia, anemia, and malarial anemia in infants and young children in a rural holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission area
(The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2006)
Malarial anemia (MA) is a multifactorial disease for which the complex etiological basis is only partially
defined. The association of clinical, nutritional, demographic, and socioeconomic factors with parasitemia, anemia, ...
Spectroscopic characterization of the metal cation siting and the adsorbate-cation interactions in copper (II) and cobalt (II) exchanged faujasite-X zeolite
(State University of New York at Binghamton, 2006)
Toxic chemicals are abundant in the environment and their detection often requires very
costly and time consuming methods. Where such molecules are able to interact with the
transition metal cations, their characteristic ...
Next priorities for intervention in Kenya: Results from a cohort study of drug use, HIV and HCV patterns in five urban areas
(University Of Nairobi, 2006)
In Kenya, alcohol, cigarettes, Khat (miraa) and cannabis sativa, have remained the most popular abused substance and have been linked to increasing rates of HIV/HCV . This study’s objective was to identify the types, ...
Genetic parameters for weaning weight of Kenyan Boran cattle accounting for direct-maternal genetic covariances
(South African Society for Animal Science, 2006)
Genetic parameters were estimated for weaning weight (WW) in Kenya Boran cattle using animal models that assumed non-zero direct-maternal genetic covariance. In addition to the direct and maternal genetic effects, maternal ...
