The structural and functional organization of the connective tissue in the human foot with reference to the histomorphology of the elastic fibre system
(Department of Anatomy, University Of Nairobi, 1984)The structural organization of the connective tissue system has been studied in the human foot using routine light microscopic methods. It has been demonstrated that an intriguing and delicate anatomical arrangement is ... -
Structural organization of the vertebral artery in the giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis)
(Department of Anatomy, University Of Nairobi, 1987)Vertebral arteries in the giraffe were removed and their structural organization was studied with light microscopy. It has been shown that the caudal segment of the vertebral artery extending to the level of the seventh ... -
Segmental variations in the elastic fiber content of the lateral costotransverse ligaments in the vervet monkey (Cercopithecus pygerythrus aethiops).
(Department of Anatomy, University Of Nairobi, 1987)The segmental and zonal variations in the quantitative relationships between elastic and collagen fibers within the lateral costotransverse ligaments have been investigated in the vervet monkey. The lateral costotransverse ... -
Pharmacokinetic basis of nifedipine-digoxin interaction: a commentary
(University of Nairobi.Department of Pharmacy, College of Health Sciences, University of Nairobi, Kenya, 1995-10)Elevation of plasma digoxin levels following concurrent administration of nifedipine have previously been reported. The mechanism for this interaction has not been fully explained, but may include a reduction in volume of ... -
Sympathetic innervation of the hindlimb arterial system in the giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis)
(Department of Anatomy, University Of Nairobi, 1991)We report the distribution of sympathetic nerves in the hindlimb arterial system of the giraffe based on the histochemical demonstration of monoamines by the sucrose-potassium phosphate-glyoxylic acid method. It is noted ... -
The structural organization and adrenergic innervation of the carotid arterial system of the giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis)
(Department of Anatomy, University Of Nairobi, 1991)The sympathetic innervation of the giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) carotid arterial system is described in this study using the sucrose-potassium phosphate-glyoxylic acid (SPG) method. The brachiocephalic and bicarotid ... -
Guidelines for field surveys of the quality of medicines: a proposal
(University of Nairobi.Department of Pharmaceutics & Pharmacy Practice, Faculty of Pharmacy, College of Health Sciences, 2009-03)No Abstract available -
Electron microscopic structure and innervation of the carotid baroreceptor region in the rock hyrax (Procavia capensis)
(Department of Human Anatomy, University of Nairobi, Kenya, 1992)Semi-thin plastic sections reveal that the carotid baroreceptor region in the rock hyrax comprising the origin of the internal carotid artery has a preponderantly elastic structure and a thick tunica adventitia. In contrast, ... -
The Practical Application Of Art-journal Of Dental Research 14th Congress Of The East And Southern Africa Division Of The IADR

Characterization of algae oil (oilgae) and its potential as biofuel in Kenya
(University of NairobiDepartment of Biochemistry, 2012-05)A survey of microalgae biodiversity in three Kenyan Rift valley lakes identified high oil yielding species abundantly distributed naturally. The species were cultured in BBM and BG-11 media to obtain pure clones and lipids ... -
Evaluation of the in vitro transformation technique to distinguish Trypanosoma evansi from cyclically transmitted Trypanozoon stocks
(Kenya Trypanosomiasis Research Institute,Department of Anatomy, University Of Nairobi, 1993)In order to initiate transformation into procyclic forms, bloodstream trypanosomes, were transferred to semi-defined medium at 27 degrees C. All stocks previously classified as Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, T.b. gambiense ... -

Elastin and mechanoreceptor mechanisms with special reference to the mammalian carotid sinus
(Department of Anatomy, University Of Nairobi, 1995)Light microscopic studies reveal that the carotid baroreceptor region in mammals, located at the origin of the internal carotid artery, has a preponderantly elastic structure and a thick tunica adventitia. Electron microscopy ... -
Antimicrobial activity of various extracts of the sea urchin Tripneustes gratilla (Echinoidea)
(University of NairobiDepartment of Biochemistry, 2012)Background: Marine invertebrates rely solely on innate immune mechanisms, the cellular component of which is characterized by hemocytes that phagocytize microbe s and secrete soluble antimicrobial and cytotoxic substances. ... -
Studies on the haemolytic complement of the dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius). II. Alternate complement pathway haemolytic activity in serum
(Department of Anatomy, University Of NairobiDivision of Biochemistry and Immunology, Kenya Trypanosomiasis Research Institute, 1995)Fresh camel serum caused lysis of unsensitised red blood cells (RBC) of chicken, rabbit and guinea pig. Homologous RBC were resistant to lysis. There was only minimal lysis of goat, sheep, rat and cattle RBC. Lysis of ... -
Relative contribution of cytochromes P-450 and flavin-containing monoxygenases to the metabolism of albendazole by human liver microsomes
(University of Nairobi.Department of Pharmaceutics & Pharmacy Practice, Faculty of Pharmacy, College of Health Sciences, 2000-04)AIMS: Albendazole (ABZ; methyl 5-propylthio-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl carbamate) is a broad spectrum anthelmintic whose activity resides both in the parent compound and its sulphoxide metabolite (ABS). There are numerous ... -

Effects of exercise training on responses of peripheral and visceral arteries in swine
(Department of AnatomyDepartment of Veterinary Biomedical Sciences, University of Missouri, Columbia 65211, USA, 1996)Blood flow to skeletal muscle during exercise is greater in the trained state. We hypothesized that intrinsic vasomotor reactivity of arteries to active muscle during training bouts would be altered to favor a relative ...
