Implementing intensified tuberculosis case-finding among street-connected youth and young adults in Kenya.

Public health action

Szkwarko D, Mercer T, Kimani S, Braitstein P, Buziba N, Carter EJ.
PMID: 27358809
Public Health Action. 2016 Jun 21;6(2):142-6. doi: 10.5588/pha.16.0021.

BACKGROUND: Street-connected youth and young adults (SCY) suffer a myriad of health problems. In Kenya, SCY are at high risk for tuberculosis (TB) due to their congregate living situations. TB screening is not routinely implemented in SCY and there...

Classification of Bladder Cancer Patients via Penalized Linear Discriminant Analysis.

Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP

Raeisi Shahraki H, Bemani P, Jalali M.
PMID: 28612601
Asian Pac J Cancer Prev. 2017 May 01;18(5):1453-1457. doi: 10.22034/APJCP.2017.18.5.1453.

Objectives: In order to identify genes with the greatest contribution to bladder cancer, we proposed a sparse model making the best discrimination from other patients. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 22 genes with a key role in most cancers...

Effects of Crocin Supplementation during In Vitro Maturation of Mouse Oocytes on Glutathione Synthesis and Cytoplasmic Maturation.

International journal of fertility & sterility

Mokhber Maleki E, Eimani H, Bigdeli MR, Golkar Narenji A, Abedi R.
PMID: 27123201
Int J Fertil Steril. 2016 Apr-Jun;10(1):53-61. doi: 10.22074/ijfs.2016.4769. Epub 2016 Apr 05.

BACKGROUND: Crocin is an active ingredient of saffron (Crocus sativus L.) and its antioxidant properties have been previously investigated. This carotenoid scavenges free radicals and stimulates glutathione (GSH) synthesis; consequently, it may protect cells against oxidative stress. The aim...

Reducing IRF-1 to Levels Observed in HESN Subjects Limits HIV Replication, But Not the Extent of Host Immune Activation.

Molecular therapy. Nucleic acids

Su RC, Plesniarski A, Ao Z, Kimani J, Sivro A, Jaoko W, Plummer FA, Yao X, Ball TB.
PMID: 26506037
Mol Ther Nucleic Acids. 2015 Oct 27;4:e259. doi: 10.1038/mtna.2015.29.

Cells from women who are epidemiologically deemed resistant to HIV infection exhibit a 40-60% reduction in endogenous IRF-1 (interferon regulatory factor-1), an essential regulator of host antiviral immunity and the early HIV replication. This study examined the functional consequences...

Quantifying collagen structure in breast biopsies using second-harmonic generation imaging.

Biomedical optics express

Ambekar R, Lau TY, Walsh M, Bhargava R, Toussaint KC.
PMID: 23024898
Biomed Opt Express. 2012 Sep 01;3(9):2021-35. doi: 10.1364/BOE.3.002021. Epub 2012 Aug 07.

Quantitative second-harmonic generation imaging is employed to assess stromal collagen in normal, hyperplastic, dysplastic, and malignant breast tissues. The cellular scale organization is quantified using Fourier transform-second harmonic generation imaging (FT-SHG), while the molecular scale organization is quantified using...

Reconfigurable nanoantennas using electron-beam manipulation.

Nature communications

Roxworthy BJ, Bhuiya AM, Yu X, Chow EK, Toussaint KC.
PMID: 25020189
Nat Commun. 2014 Jul 14;5:4427. doi: 10.1038/ncomms5427.

Plasmonic nanoantennas have been of increasing interest due to their ability to confine and enhance electric fields in deep sub-wavelength volumes, leading to large near-field optical forces and high refractive index sensitivity. Recently, to enhance the response for sensor...

Characteristics of soils in selected maize growing sites along altitudinal gradients in East African highlands.

Data in brief

Njuguna E, Gathara M, Nadir S, Mwalusepo S, Williamson D, Mathé PE, Kimani J, Landmann T, Juma G, Ong'amo G, Gatebe E, Ru BL, Calatayud PA.
PMID: 26509187
Data Brief. 2015 Sep 03;5:138-44. doi: 10.1016/j.dib.2015.08.030. eCollection 2015 Dec.

Maize is the main staple crop in the East African Mountains. Understanding how the edaphic characteristics change along altitudinal gradients is important for maximizing maize production in East African Highlands, which are the key maize production areas in the...

Correlates of HIV-status awareness among adults in Nairobi slum areas.

African journal of AIDS research : AJAR

Ettarh RR, Kimani J, Kyobutungi C, Wekesah F.
PMID: 25860192
Afr J AIDS Res. 2012 Dec;11(4):337-42. doi: 10.2989/16085906.2012.754833.

The prevalence of HIV in the adult population in slum areas in Nairobi, Kenya, is higher than for residents in the city as a whole. This disparity suggests that the characteristics of slum areas may adversely influence the HIV-prevention...
