A multicenter, single-blind, prospective randomized trial to evaluate the safety of a polyethylene glycol hydrogel (Duraseal Dural Sealant System) as a dural sealant in cranial surgery.
(Department of Neurosurgery, The University of Washington and Harborview Medical Center, Seattle, WA, USA, 2012)OBJECTIVE: Incisional cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage after cranial surgery is a significant cause of morbidity due to poor wound healing and infection, meningitis, and pseudomeningocele formation. Many common dural ... -
Maximum-likelihood image estimation using photon-correlated beams.
(University of NairobiSchool of medicine,University of NairobiDept. of Electr. and Comput. Eng., New Mexico Univ., Albuquerque, NM 87131-1356, USA. hayat@eece.unm.edu, 2002)A theory is presented addressing the fundamental limits of image estimation in a setup that uses two photon-correlated beams. These beams have the property that their photon arrivals, as a point process, are ideally ... -
Existence of a silent gene for pseudocholinesterase in a Trinidad population
(Department of Medicine, University of Nairobi, 1994)Although the values reported were higher than those reported for Caucasians, differences in dibucaine number for pseudocholinesterase values among the three ethnic groups in Trinidad and Tobago, were not significant. Eight ... -
Hepatosplenic schistosomiasis in Kenya: an assessment of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
(1985)Sera from 124 adult Kenyan patients with chronic splenomegaly and from 93 geographically matched controls without splenomegaly were tested for evidence of Schistosoma mansoni infection by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ... -
Expression of Galectin-3 and Galectin-7 in thyroid malignancy as potential diagnostic indicators.
(University of NairobiSchool of medicine,University of NairobiDepartment of Paraclinical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, 2008-04)INTRODUCTION:It has been suggested that Galectin-3 (Gal-3) and Galectin-7 (Gal-7) are potential tumour markers for differentiating thyroid carcinoma from its benign counter part. Galectins are beta-galactoside-binding ... -

Distribution of cholinesterase activity in the population of Trinidad
(Department of Medicine, University of Nairobi, 1996)The relation between the level or the quality of serum cholinesterase and susceptibility to succinylcholine-induced apnea is significant because the abnormality resides in a low affinity variant rather than in a quantitative ... -

Diversity and partitioning of bacterial populations within the accessory nidamental gland of the squid Euprymna scolopes
(Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of Connecticut, Storrs, Connecticut, USA, 2012)Microbial consortia confer important benefits to animal and plant hosts, and model associations are necessary to examine these types of host/microbe interactions. The accessory nidamental gland (ANG) is a female reproductive ... -
Silent cholinesterase gene in an Asian Indian family in Trinidad.
(Department of Medicine, University of Nairobi, 1996)Cholinesterase activity was estimated in the serum of a Trinidadian female of Asian Indian descent. Her serum cholinesterase was pathologically low (0.17 U/ml) compared to the average reported for the population (10.59 ± ... -
Ascorbic acid and reduced glutathione concentration of human fetal tissues in relation to gestational age, fetal size and maternal nutritional status
(Biochemistry Department, M.S. University, Baroda, India, 1987)Studies were carried out on ascorbic acid and glutathione concentration in human fetal tissues with the progress of gestation. The glutathione concentration in human fetal liver and adrenal showed a decline during late ... -
