Tuberculous pericarditis

Mayosi B.M.; Burgess L.J.; Doubell A.F. (2005)

Background - The incidence of tuberculous pericarditis is increasing in Africa as a result of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic. The primary objective of this article was to review and summarize the literature ...

An unusual case of oromandibular-limb hypogenesis syndrome

Perks T.J.; Van Der Walt J.C.; Levin A.I.; Graewe F.R. (2008)

The oromandibular-limb hypogenesis syndrome is a rare complex of jaw and limb defects with unclear aetiology. Multiple and variable deformities of the mandible, maxilla and tongue may occur in combination with a variety ...

Non-familial visceral myopathy: Clinical and pathologic features of degenerative leiomyopathy

Moore S.W.; Schneider J.W.; Kaschula R.D.C. (2002)

Degenerative leiomyopathy (DL) is a distinctive form of acquired degenerative visceral myopathy of uncertain etiology that occurs largely in Africa and results in intestinal pseudo-obstruction (IP). In this review of 39 ...

Chromosome painting in the African four-striped mouse Rhabdomys pumilio: Detection of possible murid specific contiguous segment combinations

Rambau R.V.; Robinson T.J. (2003)

Fluorescence in-situ hybridization was used to construct a comparative chromosome map between the laboratory mouse, Mus musculus and the African four-striped mouse, Rhabdomys pumilio. A high degree of homology between the ...

Transposition rates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis IS6110 restriction fragment length polymorphism patterns

Eilers P.H.C.; Van Soolingen D.; Lan N.T.N.; Warren R.M.; Borgdorff M.W. (2004)

To determine the rate at which IS1160 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) patterns in Mycobacterium tuberculosis change over time, we applied a smooth nonparametric survival model to several data sets, including ...

African 1, an epidemiologically important clonal complex of mycobacterium bovis dominant in Mali, Nigeria, Cameroon, and Chad

Muller B.; Hilty M.; Berg S.; Garcia-Pelayo M.C.; Dale J.; Boschiroli M.L.; Cadmus S.; Ngandolo B.N.R.; Godreuil S.; Diguimbaye-Djaibe C.; Kazwala R.; Bonfoh B.; Njanpop-Lafourcade B.M.; Sahraoui N.; Guetarni D.; Aseffa A.; Mekonnen M.H.; Razanamparany V.R.; Ramarokoto H.; Djonne B.; Oloya J.; Machado A.; Mucavele C.; Skjerve E.; Portaels F.; Rigouts L.; Michel A.; Muller A.; Kallenius G.; Van Helden P.D.; Hewinson R.G.; Zinsstag J.; Gordon S.V.; Smith N.H. (2009)

We have identified a clonal complex of Mycobacterium bovis present at high frequency in cattle in population samples from several sub-Saharan west-central African countries. This closely related group of bacteria is defined ...

Hoarding in obsessive-compulsive disorder: Clinical and genetic correlates

Lochner C.; Kinnear C.J.; Hemmings S.M.J.; Seller C.; Niehaus D.J.H.; Knowles J.A.; Daniels W.; Moolman-Smook J.C.; Seedat S.; Stein D.J. (2005)

Objective: Hoarding may be an important symptom dimension in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Hoarding in OCD has been associated with poor insight, poorer response to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors than other ...

Record of mid-Archaean subduction from metamorphism in the Barberton terrain, South Africa

Moyen J.-F.; Stevens G.; Kisters A. (2006)

Although plate tectonics is the central geological process of the modern Earth, its form and existence during the Archaean era (4.0-2.5 Gyr ago) are disputed. The existence of subduction during this time is particularly ...

Reciprocal chromosome painting among human, aardvark, and elephant (superorder Afrotheria) reveals the likely eutherian ancestral karyotype

Yang F.; Alkalaeva E.Z.; Perelman P.L.; Pardini A.T.; Harrison W.R.; O'Brien P.C.M.; Fu B.; Graphodatsky A.S.; Ferguson-Smith M.A.; Robinson T.J. (2003)

The Afrotheria, a supraordinal grouping of mammals whose radiation is rooted in Africa, is strongly supported by DNA sequence data but not by their disparate anatomical features. We have used flow-sorted human, aardvark, ...
