The biological mechanisms associated with Depo-Provera and HIV-1 risk acquisition in women.
(2017)Thirty-six years after the first identification of AIDS, the spread of its aetiological agents continues unabated, human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) in particular. About 40% of HIV-1 infections have been reported to ... -
Case series of subtotal exenteration with buccal mucosal graft for orbital squamous cell carcinoma.
(2016)The aim of the study was to look for a safe alternative to a disfiguring total orbital exenteration for orbital squamous cell carcinoma, so that a standard hospital issue inexpensive stock ocular prosthesis can be fitted ... -
A comparative chemistry of coa® herbal medicine and herbal extracts of Vernonia Amygdalina (Bitter leaf) and Persea Americana (Avocado).
(2018)The aim of this study is to investigate the phytochemical compounds present in standard COA®, dichloromethane (DCM), ethanol (EtOH), hexane (HEX), and ethyl acetate (EtOAc) , extracts of COA® compared to leaf extracts ... -
Computational studies of mycobacterium tuberculosis L, d-transpeptidase2.
(2018)Tuberculosis (TB) is still one of the most highly elusive lethal transmittable diseases to eradicate and persist to be a major threat to public health due to emergence of drug resistance. Drug-resistant is steadily increasing ... -

Defining current facial fracture patterns in a quaternary institution following high-velocity blunt trauma.
(2016)Background: In the early 20th century, René Le Fort studied facial fractures resulting from blunt trauma and devised a classification system still in common use today. This classification, however, was based on low-velocity ... -
Deoxynivalenol downregulates NRF2-induced cytoprotective response in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells.
(2017)Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium species that commonly infect agricultural foods. DON exhibits multiple toxic effects in both animals and humans, binding to the A site of the 28S ribosome and inhibits ... -
Drug susceptibility testing of second and third line anti-tuberculosis drugs used in the management of extensively drug resistant tuberculosis.
(2013)Drug resistant tuberculosis is a major contributor to South Africa’s quadruple burden of disease. Management of this infection in a highly HIV endemic area is a constant challenge. There is a paucity of new anti-tuberculosis ... -
Evaluation of the left ventricular ejection fraction post right ventricular pacing at Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital (IALCH), Durban, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN).
(2016)Since the implantation of the first artificial pacemaker in 1958, these devices have become the treatment of choice in bradycardias. Despite its widespread use, only a few studies have looked at the effects of single chamber ... -
