Norovirus in children 5 years and below presenting with diarrhoea in KwaZulu-Natal.
(2017)Background - NoVs are single stranded RNA viruses belonging to the family Caliciviridae. They cause gastroenteritis in all age groups but mostly in young children and the elderly. They are classified into seven genogroups ... -
Nosocomial transmission of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis in a regional hospital
(2017)Nosocomial transmission of drug resistant tuberculosis is well-documented in South Africa. The level of risk varies by patient population and effectiveness of M.tb infection control measures. The risk is higher in places ... -
Not just for the kicks! Football for development : stakeholder perceptions of the WhizzKids United football programme in Durban, South Africa.
(2010)The study attempts to assess the capacity of football development programmes to help bring about development at the individual and societal levels. It is concerned with understanding the needs of underprivileged communities ... -
Notions of place and identity formation amongst recent graduates in South Africa: a case study of Umlazi Township.
(2018)The study sought to explore notions of place and identity formation amongst recent graduates in South Africa. It focused on the meaning graduates ascribed to places and why it is important for identity formation. Primarily, ... -
Novel cationic lipoplexes : characterization in cell culture in vitro and in vivo.
(2010)Amongst the more promising non-viral DNA vehicles are liposomes, with those derived from cationic lipids showing significant potential, despite moderate transfection levels in vivo. This study has investigated the effect ... -
Novel domestic design and manufacturing of Pelton Turbine bucket : a key to manage and enhance Sub-Saharan Africa’s hydro energy potential.
(2017)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Novel epidermal growth factor directed cationic lipoplexes promote in vitro hepatotropic gene targeting.
(2014)The need for the improvement in protocols for cellular gene delivery has propelled cytofectin based liposomes as suitable non-viral gene carriers. The amenability of cationic liposomes to modification enables research based ... -
Novel fatty acid based pH-responsive nanostructured lipid carriers for enhancing vancomycin activity.
(2017)Targeted delivery of antibiotics via pH-responsive nano-formulations can combat the limitations of conventional dosage forms and reduce resistance development. Identification of new lipids for the preparation of nanocarriers ... -
A novel in vitro anticancer drug delivery strategy using platinum encapsulated gold nanoparticles.
(2017)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Novel laser beams for optical trapping and tweezing.
(2011)Optical trapping and tweezing has been around for the last 30 years and since found its place in the fields of physics and biology. Over the years this technique has advanced exceedingly and is a unique tool to carry out ... -
Novel lipidic materials to enhance the transdermal delivery of tenofovir.
(2017)The global burden of HIV and AIDS coupled with the limitations of current oral tenofovir (TNF) administration drives the need to develop strategies such as the use of alternate routes of administration to improve drug ... -
Novel pulsed power applications.
(2001)The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the mechanisms of the glow (Townsend) discharge, the arc (streamer) discharge, the corona discharge, and the vacuum discharge. The physics of each discharge is presented and ... -

(2015)Abstract available in PDF file. -
A novel reporter phage to detect tuberculosis and rifampin resistance in a high-HIV-burden population.
(American Society for Microbiology., 2015)Abstract available in pdf. -
Novel ruthenium (ll/lll) complexes with multidentate Schiff base chelates containing biologically relevant moieties.
(2014)The discovery of novel ruthenium metallopharmaceuticals is highly dependent on its coordination chemistry. As emphasized in Chapter 1, the biodistribution pathway of a potential ruthenium metallopharmaceutical depends ... -
Novel series of dehydrozingerone inspired potential antimycobacterial agents: design, synthesis, spectral studies and in vitro biological evaluation.
(2016)Tuberculosis (TB) is a key health burden globally. With the emergence of resistance issue, the antitubercular research has been challenging. Novel effective drugs are immediately required to treat this serious epidemic ... -
Novel siRNA lipoplexes : their targeted and untargeted delivery to mammalian cells in culture.
(2011)The high gene knockdown specificity and efficiency of RNA interference (RNAi) provides a potentially viable avenue for the development of a new class of nucleic acid therapeutics for gene-based disease conditions. However, ... -
A novel study to detect and quantify microorganisms associated with bacterial vaginosis from urine samples.
(2019)Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal condition found in women of reproductive age. The lack of published data on the detection of BV-associated pathogens from urine, a non-invasive sample, lends novelty to ...
