Determination of reference intervals for common chemistry and immunoassay tests for Kenyan adults based on an internationally harmonized protocol and up-to-date statistical methods
(Public Library of Science, 2020-07-09)
Due to a lack of reliable reference intervals (RIs) for Kenya, we set out to determine RIs for
40 common chemistry and immunoassay tests as part of the IFCC global RI project.
Metabolic syndrome and its predictors in an urban population in Kenya: a cross sectional study
(BioMed Central, 2017-12-01)
The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a clustering of interrelated risk factors which doubles the risk of cardio-vascular disease (CVD) in 5–10 years and increases the risk of type 2 diabetes 5 fold. The identification of ...
Comparison of equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate in screening for chronic kidney disease in asymptomatic black Africans: a cross sectional study
(BioMed Central, 2017-12)
Several equations have been developed to estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The common equations used were derived from populations predominantly comprised of Caucasians with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Some of ...
Measurement of improvement achieved by participation in international laboratory accreditation in sub-Saharan Africa: the Aga Khan University Hospital Nairobi experience
(Oxford University Press, 2014-02-02)
As part of the ISO 15189:2007 accreditation process, the Aga Khan University Hospital Nairobi laboratory became the first internationally accredited hospital laboratory in sub-Saharan Africa outside South Africa in 2011 ...
Complete blood count reference intervals from a healthy adult urban population in Kenya
(Public Library of Science, 2018-06-07)
There are racial, ethnic and geographical differences in complete blood count (CBC) blood count (CBC) and therefore it is necessary to establish RIs that are population specific. Several studies have been carried out in ...
Influence Buffer Zone Regimes Area on the Protected Tree Species Richness and Density in Kakamega Forest, Kakamega County, Kenya
(East African Scholars Publisher, Kenya, 2020-02)
Buffer zone regimes (BZRs) enhance protection of forests in the world. For
instance, they influence protection of about 50% in Latin America 30% in Sub-Saharan
Africa and 63% in temperate countries. In Kenya, Nyayo Tea ...
Norms of Derivations Implemented by S-Universal Operators
(International Journal of Mathematical Analysis, 2011)
Let H be a complex Hilbert space and B(H) the algebra of all
bounded linear operators on H. For A, B ∈ B(H), we define inner
derivations implemented by A,B respectively on B(H) by ΔA(X) =
AX−XA, ΔB(X) = BX−XB and a ...
On the Generalized Reid Inequality and the Numerical Radii
(Applied Mathematical Sciences, 2011)
In this paper, we extend the generalized Reid inequality to include
the numerical radii for the product of two Hilbert space operators.

Groups of isometries associated with automorphisms of the half-plane
(Mississippi State University, 2015)
The study of integral operators on spaces of analytic functions has been considered for the past few decades. However, most of the studies in this line are based on spaces of analytic functions of the unit disc. For the ...
Opportunities from Satellite Observation Systems in Climate Risk Mitigation: The Case of Tourism and Hospitality Industry in Lake Nakuru National Park, Kenya
(ijsr, 2012)
One of the key findings in the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) is that millions of people globally will be
exposed to increased water stress due to climate change. With over three quarters of Africa falling under arid and ...
