Association of Novel Locus With Rheumatic Heart Disease in Black African Individuals: Findings From the RHDGen Study
(JAMA cardiology, 2021)
Importance Rheumatic heart disease (RHD), a sequela of rheumatic fever characterized by permanent heart valve damage, is the leading cause of cardiac surgery in Africa. However, its pathophysiologic characteristics and ...
Hepatitis B and C virus co-infections and genetic diversity among HIV-1 infected individuals in Siaya County, Kenya
(EAST AFRICAN MEDICAL JOURNAL, 2021)
Objectives: The present study determined the prevalence of HBV/HCV coinfections; genetic diversity and drug resistance of HBV among HIV infected
patients visiting Siaya County Referral Hospital, Kenya.
Design: This was ...
Molecular identification and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of bacterial isolates from urine samples of African buffalo, eland and cattle
(International Journal of Applied Biology, 2021)
Presence of antibiotic resistant bacteria in natural environment is an escalating risk of serious implication on human and animal health. Livestock and wildlife have been long recognized as reservoirs for antibiotic resistant ...
To Triage or Not? Positive Predictive Value of Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid for Diagnosis of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia Grade 2 or Worse (CIN2+) among HIV-Positive Women in a Low-Resource Setting
(American Association for Cancer Research., 2021)
Purpose: The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends human papillomavirus (HPV) as a primary screening test within "screen-and-treat" cervical cancer programs in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Following a ...
Feasibility and Acceptability of Smartphone-Based Cervical Cancer Screening Among HIV-Positive Women in Western Kenya
(Gynecologic Cancer, 2021)
PURPOSE
Adjunct cervical cancer screening methods are under evaluation to improve the diagnostic accuracy of human papillomavirus (HPV)-based screening in low- and middle-income countries. We evaluated the feasibility and ...
Temperature Distribution for Magnetohydrodynamic Flow in Straight Horizontal Elliptical Pipe
(Applied Mathematical Sciences, 2021)
A study has been carried out on temperature distribution on Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluid flow in a pipe of elliptical cross section.
Fluid is electrically conducting, viscous and incompressible. Governing equations are ...
Determinants of revenue management practices and their impacts on the financial performance of hotels in Kenya: a proposed theoretical framework
(SpringerOpen, 2021)
This conceptual paper aims at identifying a theoretical framework for the determinants of revenue management (RM) practices and their impacts on the financial performance of hotels. To create this framework, a two-phased ...
Patient care and clinical outcomes for patients with COVID-19 infection admitted to African high-care or intensive care units (ACCCOS): a multicentre, prospective, observational cohort study
(Elsevier, 2021)
Background
Molecular imaging is increasingly used to guide treatment decisions and planning in prostate cancer. We aimed to evaluate the role of 18F-fluciclovine-PET/CT in improving cancer control compared with conventional ...
Investigation of long acoustic waveguides for the very low frequency characterization of monolayer and stratified air-saturated poroelastic materials
(Elsevier, 2021)
When sound propagates in a porous medium, it is attenuated via several energy loss mechanisms which are switched on or off as the excitation frequency varies. The classical way of measuring acoustic energy loss in porous ...
A ten-year study of Retinoblastoma in Uganda: An approach to improving outcome with limited resources
(Elsevier, 2021)
Background: Survival of children with cancer in resource-limited regions is very poor compared to betterresourced regions. Retinoblastoma (RB) is a childhood cancer that is commonly reported in many regions of
Africa. RB ...
