An ImmunoEpidemiological Model for HIV/AIDS Incorporating Viral and Cellular Transmission with Antiretroviral Treatment Applied Mathematical Sciences
(Applied Mathematical Sciences, 2019)
In this paper an immuno-epidemiological model for HIV and AIDS
incorporating viral and cellular transmission with antiretroviral treat-
ment is formulated. Using ordinary di_erential equations, the two trans-
mission ...
Serum adiponectin in HIV-1 and hepatitis C virus mono- and co-infected Kenyan injection drug users
(Endocrine Connections, 2015-12)
Adiponectin is an important marker of anthropometric profiles of adipose tissue. However, association of adiponectin and adiposity in HIV mono- and co-infected and hepatitis (HCV) injection drug users (IDUs) has not been ...
HIV-1 protease inhibitor drug resistance in Kenyan antiretroviral treatment-naive and -experienced injection drug users and non-drug users
(AIDS Research and Therapy, 2015-08-15)
Background
Although injection drug use drives antiretroviral drug resistance, the prevalence of protease inhibitor (PI) resistance among Kenyan IDUs remains undetermined. We, therefore, explored PI resistance mutations ...
RosenzweigMacAurther Model with Holling type II Predator Functional Response for Constant Delayed Migration. Asian Research Journal of Mathematics
(Asian Research Journal of Mathematics, 2019-08-29)
Predator-prey models describe the interaction between two species, the prey which serves as a food source to the predator. The migration of the prey for safety reasons after a predator attack and the predator in search of ...
Relationship between inflammatory mediator patterns and anemia in HIV-1 positive and exposed children with Plasmodium falciparum malaria
(National Library of Medicine, 2012-05-08)
Anemia is the primary hematological manifestation of both Plasmodium falciparum malaria and HIV-1 in pediatric populations in sub-Saharan Africa. We have previously shown that HIV-1 positive and exposed children have greater ...
Circulating Interferon-Gamma Levels Are Associated with Low Body Weight in Newly Diagnosed Kenyan Non-Substance Using Tuberculosis Individuals
(National Library of Medicine, 2016-01-05)
Although interferon-gamma, interleukin-10, and adiponectin are key immunopathogenesis mediators of tuberculosis, their association with clinical manifestations of early stage disease is inconclusive. We determined ...
Effects of Potassium Fertilizer on Bean growth and Yield parameters
(International Journal of Advances in Scientific Research and Engineering, 2019-01-05)
Bean is globally an important leguminous vegetable that has been used for several centuries as a food for humans. Originated from the American, the bean is now cultivated all over the world due to its nutritional and ...
The Dissipation of Carbofuran in Two Soils with Different Pesticide Application Histories within Nzoia River Drainage Basin, Kenya
(Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2014-02-28)
The dissipation of carbofuran from soils within the Nzoia River Drainage Basin in Kenya was studied under real field conditions for 112 days. Results showed significantly enhanced dissipation of carbofuran with half life ...
Reduced Hsp70 and Glutamine in Pediatric Severe Malaria Anemia: Role of hemozoin in Suppressing Hsp70 and NF-κB Activation
(Molecular Medicine, 2016-08-30)
Severe malarial anemia (SMA; hemoglobin [Hb] <5.0 g/dL) is a leading global cause of morbidity and mortality among children residing in Plasmodium falciparum transmission regions. Exploration of molecular pathways through ...
Compositional analysis and optical properties of Co doped TiO2 thin films fabricated by spray pyrolysis method for dielectric and p hotocatalytic applications
(Optik, 2017-01)
Cobalt doped TiO2 thin films (CTF) deposited by spray pyrolysis has been studied. The compositional analysis has been done using RBS method, while optical spectroscopy has been done by measuring the transmittance and ...
