Provider Characteristics Among Staff Providing Care to Sexually Transmitted Infection Self-Medicating Patients in Retail Pharmacies in Kibera Slum, Nairobi, Kenya.
OBJECTIVES:: To evaluate the characteristics of providers in management of STI self-medicating patients in retail pharmacies within the largest informal settlement in Kenya. METHODS:: We collected sociodemographic, training, and work history attributes among […]
Risk Factors for Prevalent and Incident Trichomonas vaginalis Among Women Attending Three Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinics.
GOAL:: Trichomonas vaginalis is the most common nonviral sexually transmitted infection in the United States and may be associated with adverse birth outcomes and may also increase susceptibility to or transmissibility of human immunodeficiency virus. The purpose […]

Human Meconium has a Pulmonary Vascular and Airway Smooth Muscle Relaxant Effect.
Meconium aspiration is believed to cause persistent pulmonary hypertension syndrome of the newborn (PPHN) via vasoconstriction, whereas meconium has a relaxant effect on rat tracheal muscle. We evaluated the meconium effect on lung vascular and airway muscle. Three days old and […]
Reticulocye Enrichment Of Zinc Protoporphyrin/Heme Discriminates Impaired Iron Supply During Early Development.
In infants and children, elevated whole blood zinc protoporphyrin/heme (ZnPP/H) measures iron-deficient erythropoiesis. Because immature erythrocytes are less dense than mature erythrocytes, we hypothesized that the sensitivity of ZnPP/H is improved if measured in the least dense cells. Blood was collected […]
Cardiovascular risk factors in parents of short children born small for gestational age (SGA).
SGA children have a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors at a young age. It is not known whether this increased risk is caused by their size at birth, a familial predisposition for cardiovascular disease or smallness at birth […]
Effects of Positive End-Expiratory Pressure, Inhaled NO and Surfactant on Expression of Proinflammatory Cytokines and Growth Factors in Preterm Piglet Lungs.
We hypothesized that imbalance of proinflammatory cytokines and growth factors (GFs) in immature lungs of early postnatal life may be affected by protective ventilation strategy, and evaluated correlations of these aspects. Preterm […]

Schwann cells from human neurofibromas show increased proliferation rates under the influence of progesterone.
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a hereditary disease caused by mutations of the NF1 gene at 17q11.2. Loss of the NF1 gene product in Schwann cells leads to the development of benign nerve sheath tumors. These neurofibromas may occur […]
Prenatal Diazepam Exposure Alters Respiratory Control System and Gabaa and Adenosine Receptor Gene Expression in Newborn Rats.
In experimental animals, prenatal diazepam exposure has clearly been associated with behavioral disturbances. Its impact on newborn breathing has not been documented despite potential deleterious consequences for later brain development. We addressed this issue in neonatal […]
