Correlates of Behavior Management Strategies Among Learners With Autistic Spectrum Disorders In Primary Schools In Western Kenya
(2014)
Practitioners handling learners with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) often feel ill-
prepared to effectively manage this disorder. Quite often, when faced with cases of
challenging behaviour, teachers use coping ...
Functional Haplotypes of Fc gamma (Fcγ) receptor (FcγRIIA and FcγRIIIB) predict risk to repeated episodes of severe malarial anemia and mortality in Kenyan children
(Springer-Verlag, 2012-02-01)
Development of protective immunity against Plasmodium falciparum is partially
mediated through binding of malaria-specific IgG to Fc gamma (γ) receptors. Variations in
human FcγRIIA-H/R-131 and FcγRIIIB-NA1/NA2 affect ...
EBNA-1 specific effector T cell deletion associated with holoendemic malaria exposure in the etiology of endemic Burkitt’s lymphoma (P3063)
(American Association of Immunologists, 2013-05-01)
Etiological mechanism of eBL remain largely unknown despite long-standing
epidemiological link between malaria and EBV co-infection. Age-dependent deficiency in
EBV-specific CD8+ T cell-mediated IFN-γ immunosurveillance ...
Provider knowledge of treatment policy and dosing regimen with artemether-lumefantrine and quinine in malaria-endemic areas of western Kenya
(BioMed Central, 2012-12-29)
Due to widespread anti-malarial drug resistance in many countries, Kenya
included, artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) has been adopted as the most
effective treatment option against malaria. Artemether-lumefantrine ...
Factors in the management of feeding in nursery school children as perceived by their mothers in rural Bondo County, Kenya
(BioMed Central, 2013-11-15)
The effects of malnutrition on health status and survival of children has been the
subject of extensive research for several decades. Malnutrition affects physical growth,
cognitive development of children, morbidity ...
Modelling the Impact of Misdiagnosis and Treatment on the Dynamics of Malaria Concurrent and Co-infection with Pneumonia
(2013)
Incidences of misdiagnosis of diseases with similar symptoms as malaria has
increased lately due to the increasing levels of endemicity of these diseases and their co-
infection with malaria. In this paper a mathematical ...
Polymorphic variability in the 3'untranslated region (UTR) of IL12B is associated with susceptibility to severe anaemia in Kenyan children with acute Plasmodium falc...
(BioMed Central, 2011-08-06)
Plasmodium falciparum malaria remains a leading cause of morbidity and
mortality among African children. Innate immunity provides the first line of defence against P.
falciparum infections, particularly in young children ...
Polymorphisms in the Fc Gamma Receptor IIIA and Toll-Like Receptor 9 Are Associated with Protection against Severe Malarial Anemia and Changes in Circulating...
(Journals. ASm. org, 2012-10-08)
An understanding of the immunogenetic basis of naturally acquired immunity to Plasmodium
falciparum infection would aid in the designing of a rationally based malaria vaccine.
Variants within the Fc gamma receptors ...
Knowledge and behaviour as determinants of anti-malarial drug use in a peri-urban population from malaria holoendemic region of western Kenya
(BioMed Central, 2011-04-20)
The appropriate use of anti-malarial drugs determines therapeutic efficacy and
the emergence and spread of drug-resistant malaria. Strategies for improving drug
compliance require accurate information about current ...
Bacteremia in Kenyan children presenting with malaria
(American Society for Microbiology, 2011-02-01)
Since the etiologies and clinical outcomes of bacteremia in children with
Plasmodium falciparum infections, particularly in areas of holoendemic malaria
transmission, are largely unexplored, blood cultures and comprehensive ...
