Genetic polymorphisms and haplotypes of the organic cation transporter 1 gene (SLC22A1) in the Xhosa population of South Africa
(Brazilian Society of Genetics, 2014)
Human organic cation transporter 1 is primarily expressed in hepatocytes and mediates the electrogenic transport of
various endogenous and exogenous compounds, including clinically important drugs. Genetic polymorphisms ...
Is human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) stage an independent risk factor for altering the periodontal status of HIV-positive patients? A South African study
(BMC, 2013)
The immunosuppresion in HIV patients makes them highly susceptible to microbial infections. The
aim of the study was to establish whether HIV stage (as depicted by CD4+ T lymphocyte counts) could
independently be associated ...
Optimal strategy for controlling the spread of HIV/AIDS disease: A case study of South Africa
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2012)
HIV/AIDS disease continues to spread alarmingly despite the huge amounts of resources invested infighting it. There is a need to integrate the series of control measures available to ensure a consistentreduction ...
Trends in HIV risk behaviour of incoming first-year students at a South African university: 2007–2012
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2015)
The aim of the research on which this article is based was to understand the behavioural changes of the target student populationover time to ensure that future prevention programmes are more effective in changing behaviour. ...
RAMICS: Trainable, high-speed and biologically relevant alignment of high-throughput sequencing reads to coding DNA
(Oxford University Press, 2014)
The challenge presented by high-throughput sequencing necessitates the development of novel
tools for accurate alignment of reads to reference sequences. Current approaches focus on using heuristics to map reads quickly ...
Development of a compendium of local, wild-harvested species used in the informal economy trade, Cape Town, South Africa
(Resilience Alliance, 2012)
Wild harvesting has taken place over millennia in Africa. However urbanization and cash economies have
effectively altered harvesting from being cultural, traditional, and subsistence activities that are part of a rural ...
Understanding the creek dynamics and environmental characteristics that determine the distribution of mangrove and salt marsh communities at Nahoon Estuary
(Elsevier, 2016)
The southern distributional limit for mangroves on the east coast of Africa is thought to be at the planted
mangrove forest at Nahoon Estuary (33° S) in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. This study investigated the influence
of ...
Preparation and evaluation of pralidoxime-loaded plga nanoparticles as potential carriers of the drug across the blood brain barrier
(Hindawi, 2015)
Pralidoxime is an organophosphate antidote with poor central nervous system distribution due to a high polarity. In the present
study, pralidoxime-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles were prepared and ...
