Maternal Autonomy, Distance to Health Care Facility and ANC Attendance Findings from Madiany Division of Siaya County, Kenya
(Science and Education Publishing, 2014-08)
Half a million women die annually from pregnancy related causes. In Kenya, maternal mortality ratio (MMR) remains high in spite of great efforts to improve maternal health care. We studied some factors linked to maternity ...
Women Empowerment and Skilled Attendance/Facility Delivery in a Rural Community of Western Kenya
(2014-04)
It is estimated that over 500,000 women die annually due to maternity complications, majority occur in the developing countries. In Kenya, maternal mortality ratio still remains high despite increased maternal health ...
Cellular pathways involved in silica nanoparticles induced apoptosis: A systematic review of in vitro studies.
(Elsevier, 2017-12)
Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) have been found to pass through biological barriers and get distributed in the human body. They induce cell apoptosis via various mechanisms in body organs. To understand these mechanisms, we ...
A global synthesis of the effects of diversified farming systems on arthropod diversity within fields and across agricultural landscapes. Global Change Biology
(Wiley Online Library, 2017-03)
Agricultural intensification is a leading cause of global biodiversity loss, which can reduce the provisioning of ecosystem services in managed ecosystems. Organic farming and plant diversification are farm management ...
Trait matching of flower visitors and crops predicts fruit set better than trait diversity
(Wiley Online Library, 2015)
Summary
Understanding the relationships between trait diversity, species diversity and ecosystem functioning is essential for sustainable management. For functions comprising two trophic levels, trait matching between ...
Genome-wide transcriptional analysis of cardiovascular-related genes and pathways induced by PM2. 5 in human myocardial cells.
(2017-04)
Air pollution has been a major environment-related health threat. Most of the studies on PM2.5 toxicity have verified on the cardiovascular system and endothelial cells. However, researches on PM2.5-induced myocardial-related ...
Optimizing use of integrated soil fertility management options for profitable groundnut production in Uganda
(2014-09)
Soil fertility decline is a major constraint to groundnut production in Uganda. Whereas options exist to
address this constraint, many have not been adopted by smallholder farmers. This study was designed to
demonstrate ...
Enhancing response farming for improved strategic and tactical agronomic management of risks of seasonal rainfall variability
(AJOL, 2014)
Seasonal rainfall variability, particularly the uncertainty with respect to the direction and extent that variability
will assume in a given season, forms the greatest source of risk to crop production in semi-arid areas ...

Telomere Length and Accelerated Biological Aging in the China Suboptimal Health Cohort: A Case-Control Study
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, 2017-06)
Suboptimal health status (SHS) has been linked to cardiovascular risk factors, psychosocial stress, and unhealthy
lifestyle. These factors also contribute to the shortening of telomere length (TL). A case–control study
was ...
