(University of Nairobi.Department of Pharmaceutics & Pharmacy Practice, Faculty of Pharmacy, College of Health Sciences, 1982-09)The stability of adrenaline ophthalmic solutions, at pH 5.8 and 7.4, to sterilization and storage conditions has been studied. Solutions sterilized by filtration or heating at 98 degrees C for 30 min showed no detectable ... -
Metabolism of caffeine and theophylline in rats with malaria and endotoxin-induced fever
(University of Nairobi.Department of Pharmaceutics & Pharmacy Practice, Faculty of Pharmacy, College of Health Sciences, 1993-12)1. The effects of malaria infection due to Plasmodium berghei and Escherichia coli endotoxin-induced fever on the metabolism of orally-administered caffeine (CA: 10 mg/kg) to its primary metabolites (theobromine (TB), ... -

Possible isozyme-specific effects of experimental malaria infection with Plasmodium berghei on cytochrome P450 activity in rat liver microsomes
(University of Nairobi.Department of Pharmaceutics & Pharmacy Practice, Faculty of Pharmacy, College of Health Sciences, 1994-05)We have investigated the effect of experimental malaria infection on rat cytochrome P450-mediated drug metabolism using ethoxyresorufin and metoprolol as probe compounds. Malaria infection caused a significant reduction ... -
Effect of health education on oral hygiene and gingival status of persons living with HIV attending two Comprehensive Care Centres in Nairobi, Kenya
(University of NairobiDepartment of Dental Science, 2011)The study aimed to describe the effect of an oral health education intervention on oral hygiene status and gingival inflammation among persons with HIV attending two comprehensive healthcare centres in Nairobi, Kenya. This ... -

Effect of an experimental malaria infection on the metabolism of phenacetin in the rat isolated perfused liver
(University of Nairobi.Department of Pharmaceutics & Pharmacy Practice, Faculty of Pharmacy, College of Health Sciences, 1994-08)1. The effect of infection with the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei on the metabolism of phenacetin has been investigated in a rat isolated perfused liver preparation. 2. A bolus dose of phenacetin (10 mg) was ... -
Dendritic patterns in the somatic sensory cortex of the cat.
(Department of Anatomy, University Of Nairobi, 1967)One of the most significant structural features of the neurons of the central nervous system is the potentially large synaptic surface they attain by the extension of their dendritic processes. The total surface area of ... -
New Australopithecines from East Rudolf, Kenya. II.
(Department of Anatomy, University Of Nairobi, 1972)Eleven new specimens of fossil hominids from the Plio-Pleistocene sediments of Lake Rudolf, Kenya, are described. They include the following: two left mandibular bodies; parts of two right mandibular bodies; a massive ... -

Structured AIDS education inspires self-expression of needs and beneficial changes
(Commission for Higher Education , P. O. Box 54999, Nairobi, Kenya., 1998)The accuracy with which the real needs of the people are met, in the prevention and control of AIDS, will determine the success with which the disease is controlled. A structured AIDS education that integrates with formal ... -
Research publications are important performance indicators of university medical education in African countries.
(Commission for Higher Education , P. O. Box 54999, Nairobi, Kenya., 1998)Research publications constitute sensitive indicators of output performance in university education. The patterns of publications in the East African Medical Journal shows that between 1962-1970 Uganda was the leading ... -
Intergrating health research with socio-cultural systems in the fight against HIV/AIDS
(Department of Anatomy, University Of Nairobi, 1998)The rapid spread of AIDS in Africa has brought into focus the need to integrate medical science with socio-cultural beliefs and practices. The scientific knowledge on HIV, immune systems and drugs is well established. ... -
Structural evidence for insertion of collagen fibres to smooth muscle cells in the carotid arterial system of the giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis).
(Department of Anatomy, University Of Nairobi, 1981)Previous anatomical studies have failed to resolve the question relating to whether or not collagen fibers, like elastic fibres, are attached to smooth muscle cells in the arterial wall. The current ultrastructural study ... -
Subendothelial fibrillar laminae in the carotid arteries of the giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis).
(Department of Anatomy, University Of Nairobi, 1981)The endothelium in the carotid arteries of the giraffe lies on an extensive basement membrane complex that has a distinctly fibrillar component. Small electron-dense areas occur in the basal portion of the endothelium and ... -
Some histological aspects of the palmar digital pads in the vervet monkey
(Department of Anatomy, University Of Nairobi, 1993)The structural organisation of the digital touch pads has been investigated in the vervet monkey (Cercopithecus pygerythrus) by light microscopy. It has been demonstrated that the subcutaneous tissue of the terminal digital ... -
Observations on the structure and innervation of the presumptive carotid sinus area in the giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis).
(Department of Anatomy, University Of Nairobi, 1983)The tunica media of the giraffe carotid artery is characterised by a predominantly muscular structure, except for a small area at the origins of the occipital and the vestigal internal carotid arteries. The latter has a ... -
