Gas--liquid chromatographic assay of aminoglutethimide and a high-performance liquid chromatographic assay for its acetyl metabolite in biological fluids.
(1984)A rapid, sensitive and selective gas--liquid chromatographic assay for aminoglutethimide is described. The same extraction procedure may be employed prior to a high-performance liquid chromatographic assay for acetamidog ... -
The effect of acetylator phenotype on the disposition of aminoglutethimide.
(1984)Aminoglutethimide (AG) 500 mg was administered orally to four normal volunteers and eight patients undergoing treatment for metastatic breast cancer. In each subject the acetylator phenotype was established from the ... -

The influence of central corneal thickness on intraocular pressure measured by goldmann applanation tonometry among selected Ethiopian communities.
(2010)Estimates of intraocular pressure (IOP) are influenced directly by the central corneal thickness (CCT). We assume and apply a single value for CCT (520 μm) in applanation tonometry estimates, although there is compelling ... -
Correlation between cytology and thyroid function test
(Department of Dental Health, School of Medicine, Moi University,Department of Pathology, University of Nairobi, 2006)BACKGROUND: Thyroid dysfunction can be evaluated by measuring serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), total tri-iodothyronine (T3) and total thyroxine (T4) which will establish euthyroidism, hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. ... -
Skull radiograph measurements of normals and patients with basilar impression; use of Landzert's angle.
(1987)One hundred normal lateral skull radiographs were studied and those of ten patients with basilar impression attending Kenyatta Hospital, Nairobi. The mean shortest distance of the odontoid tip to McGregor's basal line was ... -
