A Review on the Status of Breast Cancer Care in Tanzania
(Multidisciplinary Cancer Investigation, 2020-07-01)
Tanzania continues to enjoy stability and growth in different sectors similar to other
countries; however, some challenges persist in the health sector, especially in the
area of cancer care. The current study aimed at ...
The neuroimaging magnitude of pediatric brain atrophy in northern Tanzania
(The Pan African Medical Journal, 2020-05-21)
Introduction: the loss of parenchymal brain volume per normative age comparison is a distinctive feature of brain atrophy. While the condition is the most prevalent to elderly, it has also been observed in pediatric ages. ...
Genome Scan for Variable Genes Involved in Environmental Adaptations of Nubian Ibex
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2021-06-17)
The Nubian ibex (Capra nubiana) is a wild goat species that inhabits the Sahara and Arabian deserts and is adapted to extreme
ambient temperatures, intense solar radiation, and scarcity of food and water resources. To ...
Reservoir dynamics of rabies in south-east Tanzania and the roles of cross-species transmission and domestic dog vaccination
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2021-08-21)
Understanding the role of different species in the transmission of multi-host pathogens, such as rabies virus, is vital for effective control strategies. Across most of sub-Saharan Africa domestic dogs Canis familiaris are ...
Effects of Season Variation on Water, Feed, Milk Yield and Reproductive Performance of Dairy Cows in Smallholder Farms in Eastern Africa
(Journal of Agriculture and Ecology Research International, 2020-08-28)
Aim: The smallholder dairy industry in Eastern Africa continues to be characterized by seasonality driven milk fluctuations and reproductive performance of dairy cows. In this review, we present important effects of changes ...
Year Round Feed and Fodder Availability in Smallholder Dairy Farms across High and Low Altitude Areas in Eastern Africa
(Journal of Experimental Agriculture International, 2020-08-07)
Feed-year strategies involve matching the cycles of dairy production with the changing availabilities of all sources of nutrients over time. Therefore, an understanding of seasonal variation in availability of forage ...
TB or not TB? Definitive determination of species within the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex in unprocessed sputum from adults with presumed multidrug-resistant tuberculosis
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2021-06-09)
objectives Differences among Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) species may predict
drug resistance or treatment success. Thus, we optimised and deployed the genotype MTBC assay
(gMTBC) to identify MTC to the species ...
Novel Multi-Linear Quantitative Brain Volume Formula For Manual Radiological Evaluation Of Brain Atrophy
(Research Square, 2020-06-22)
The brain is a dynamic organ that develops and involutes in volume. The process of volume loss known as brain atrophy commonly occurs in elderly. However, some conditions have been implicated to provoke this paradoxical ...
The extended scope of neuroimaging and prospects in brain atrophy mitigation: a systematic review
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-08-15)
Brain atrophy is a condition associated with a reduction of brain volume. It is a common manifestation of aging even though it occurs in some childhood conditions and carried forward to pre-senile middle age.
There are ...
Mycobactericidal Effects of Different Regimens Measured by Molecular Bacterial Load Assay among People Treated for Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis in Tanzania
(American Society for Microbiology, 2021-02-03)
Rifampin or multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (RR/MDR-TB) treatment has largely transitioned to regimens free of the injectable aminoglycoside component, despite the drug class’ purported bactericidal activity early in ...
