Vitamin D status in healthy black African adults at a tertiary hospital in Nairobi, Kenya: a cross sectional study
(BioMed Central, 2018)
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 ...
Effect of Implementation of Free Maternity Policy on Selected Maternal and Newborn Health Indicators in Gem Sub- County, Siaya County, Western Kenya
(Johns Hopkins University Press, 2019-08-03)
Kenya introduced free maternity services in June 2013. The main study objective was to investigate the effect of this intervention on maternal and newborn health and specifically to determine differences in 4th antenatal ...
Susceptibility patterns and the role of extracellular DNA in Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm resistance to physico-chemical stress exposure
(2018-04)
Over 65% of human infections are ascribed to bacterial biofilms that are often highly resistant to antibiotics and host immunity. Staphylococcus epidermidis is the predominant cause of recurrent nosocomial and biofilm-related ...
Fasciola gigantica: Comparison of the tegumental ultrastructure in newly excysted metacercariae and in vitro penetrated juvenile flukes indicates intracellular sources of molecules with vaccinal and immunomodulatory potential
(Elsevier, 2019)
Using in vitro procedures to prepare newly excysted metacercariae and gut-penetrated
juvenile Fasciola gigantica, the ultrastructural features of the tegumental syncytium and
perikarya of these ephemeral stages in the ...
Evaluation of the Implementation and utilisation of a Case Based Diseases Surveillance (electronic Integrated Disease Surveillance and Reporting (eIDSR-CBS)) in the West Nile …
(Texila International Journal of Public Health, 2019-12)
West Nile is vulnerable to repeated disease outbreaks due to instability and refugees
from South Sudan and Congo. Uganda is implementing integrated disease surveillance (IDSR) and
piloting electronic IDSR (eIDSR-CBS) ...
Alternative sigma factor B (σB) and catalase enzyme contribute to Staphylococcus epidermidis bioflm’s tolerance against physicochemical disinfection
(2019)
Staphylococcus epidermidis is the predominant cause of recalcitrant bioflm-associated infections, which
are often highly resistant to antibiotics. Thus, the use of physico-chemical agents for disinfection ofers
