Objective: To determine the prospective and retrospective consistency of diagnoses among readmitted psychiatric in-patients at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret, Kenya. Method: Admission and discharge diagnoses among a consecutive sample of 114 psychiatric in-patients readmitted at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital between August and December 2009 were compared. Results: The commonest diagnoses at admission were schizophrenia spectrum disorders (47.4{%}) and bipolar spectrum disorders (30.7{%}). Overall diagnostic stability as measured by prospective consistency in this study was 72.8{%}.The most stable diagnostic category was Major Depressive Disorder (100{%} prospective and retrospective consistency), followed by Bipolar Disorders (91.4{%} prospective consistency, 69.6{%} retrospective consistency) and Substance-related disorders (87.5{%} prospective consistency, 50{%} retrospective consistency). Schizophrenia-spectrum disorders had a prospective consistency of 75.9{%} and a retrospective consistency of 87.2{%}. 'Other Psychotic Disorders' (acute psychotic episode and psychotic disorder not otherwise specified) had the lowest diagnostic stability, with both prospective and retrospective consistency being 0{%}. Conclusion: Mood disorders and substance-related disorders have the highest diagnostic stability among readmitted psychiatric inpatients in a low-income country.

{Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptom self-report among medical students in Eldoret, Kenya} - Atwoli, L.; Owiti, P; Manguro, G; Ndambuki, D. (African Journal of Psychiatry (South Africa), 2011)
Objective: To determine the prevalence of self-reported attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms among medical students in Eldoret, Kenya. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study of all medical students who gave consent to participate in the study. Undertaken at Moi University's School of Medicine in Eldoret, Kenya. Comprising two hundred and fifty three (253) undergraduate medical students, with a mean age of 23.7 years (19-42, s.d. 4.1), of whom 51{%} were female. Measuring ADHD symptomatology using the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1). Results: The prevalence rate of self-reported ADHD symptoms using the ASRS screener was 23.7{%}. This was significantly associated with being in the age-group 17-20 years compared (p{<}0.05). The prevalence rate was higher among females (25.6{%}) than among males (21.8{%}), but this difference was not statistically significant. Preclinical students had a higher prevalence rate of ADHD symptoms (28.7{%}) compared to clinical students (19.6{%}), but this was also not statistically significant. Using a modification of the ASRS full symptom checklist to approximate a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition, text revision (DSM-IV-TR) ADHD diagnosis yielded a 'possible ADHD' prevalence rate of 8.7{%}. Of these, the inattentive type was the most common (40.9{%}). Conclusion: The prevalence rate of self-reported ADHD symptoms among medical students in Eldoret is very high and possibly interferes with the students' social and academic functioning. Further studies are suggested to generate information on the real ADHD prevalence in the general population and in special populations such as schools and colleges.

Characterization of two phase flows in chemical engineering reactors - S.L. Kiambi; H.K. Kiriamiti; A. Kumar (Flow Measurement and Instrumentation, 2011)
Most industrial processes like fermentation, hydrogenation, oxidation, water treatment, petrochemical, nuclear and aerospace involve intimate contact between continuous phase and dispersed phase. Bubble columns and external loop airlifts are commonly used in these operations. Although these reactors are widely used, and extensive research has been carried out there exists no perfect model to characterize the local hydrodynamics and mass transfer. Computational fluid dynamics has also evolved recently trying to model the flow and transfer within these reactors but a lot of results are conflicting. Besides, there is a need to validate these results with experimental work. This work is dedicated to the experimental methods of measuring the local parameters such as the gas hold-up, the bubble velocities, the liquid velocity, bubble sizes. Two intrusive methods are used in this study, hot film anemometry for measurements of liquid phase and bi-optic probe for the gas phase. Although intrusive methods may interfere with fluid flow, presently they are the most adapted for real industrial processes with opaque equipment walls and high gas hold-ups compared to non-intrusive methods such as imagery. In this study, an external loop airlift of 16.5 l capacity is used. Local variables are measured in the riser of an external loop airlift reactor in air/water medium. The results are presented in the form of the radial profiles of void fraction, bubble diameter, liquid velocities at superficial gas velocities ranging from 0.03 to 0.11 m/s. The axial variations of the same parameters are also investigated. The results suggest that the bi-optical probe and hot film anemometer can reliably predict flow characteristics in high gas hold up contactors.

Definition of breeding objectives and optimum crossbreeding levels for goats in the smallholder production systems - Bett, R. C.; IS Kosgey; Kahi, A.K.; K.J. Peters (Small Ruminant Research, 2011)
The objective of this study was to define breeding objectives and consequently determine optimum crossbreeding levels for goats in the smallholder production systems. Profits and economic values (EVs) were estimated for four genotypes namely (a) original stock or local goat breeds with 0% German Alpine blood level (OS), (b) F1 with 50% German Alpine blood level (F1), (c) first backcross with 75% German Alpine blood level (B1) and (d) second backcross with 87.5% German Alpine blood level (B2). The EVs were estimated for average daily milk yield (DMY, kg), average post-weaning daily gain (ADG, kg), number of kids weaned (NKW), mature weight (MW, kg) and 12-month live weight (LW, kg). Profitability in Kenyan Shilling (KES) without risk was optimal (KES 6038.02) for the B1 genotype. Economic values without risk for most traits were highest for the F1 genotype, i.e., KES 64.85 (ADG), 24.02 (NKW), -27.55 (MW) and 84.51 (LW). There was, however, a 23% reduction in profits in the F1 genotype. It was evident that crossbreeding would improve the profitability of the smallholder farms, but not beyond the 75% grade level. A similar trend was observed when risk was incorporated. Differences in profitability with and without risk were less than 0.005% for all the genotypes. However, differences in EVs were large, ranging from -28% to +19%; DMY had the largest differences. Therefore, incorporation of risk in estimation of EVs for traits of importance is necessary. This study has also demonstrated that crossbreeding to a higher grade level is not necessarily compensated for by a high performance in most traits. Therefore, a crossbreeding program targeting B1 (75%) crossbreds would be desirable for implementation in the smallholder production systems.

First-principle calculations of the bulk properties of 4d transition metal carbides and nitrides in the rocksalt, zincblende and wurtzite structures - KK Korir, GO Amolo, NW Makau, DP Joubert (Diamond and related materials, 2011)
Bulk properties and stability of the entire series of group 4d transition metal carbides and nitrides are reported in this work. The theoretical calculations were carried out within Local Density Approximation and Generalized Gradient Approximation using the Perdew, Burke and Ernzerhof exchange correlation functional. The generalized gradient approximation predictions were found to be closer to experimental values than the local density approximation predictions. In particular, LDA predictions were found to overestimate bulk moduli properties by as much as 5.6–11.5% while equilibrium lattice constants were found to be underestimated by as much as 0.2–5% compared to experimental values. On the other hand, GGA calculations were found to overestimate the lattice parameters by 0.2–6.9%, while underestimating the bulk moduli by as much as 0.07–5%. Out of the carbides considered, TcC and RuC were found to have the highest values of bulk moduli while YC and CdC had the lowest. Similarly, out of the nitrides, MoN and TcN were found to exhibit the largest bulk moduli, indicating that they were the hardest, while CdN had the lowest value and hence relatively softer. Overall, the nitrides presented higher values of bulk moduli than the carbides, an observation that is well supported by their correspondingly shorter bondlengths. The cohesive and structural properties of the 4d transition metal carbides and nitrides are also reported.

Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in the Third World - P W Saula; G P Hadley (Tropical Doctor, 2011)
The relative rarity of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) in the developing world makes its diagnosis a challenge to many physicians. This study audits the management of HPS at a tertiary hospital in South Africa, with a view to defining its regional pattern. This is a retrospective review of records of all patients (n = 63) managed for HPS over an eight-year period (2002–2010). The mean age at presentation was 6.2 weeks and the male/female ratio was 6:1. The majority of patients presented with non-bilious vomiting. Abdominal ultrasound had a sensitivity of 65% and 81.3% when the criteria of pyloric muscle thickness >4 mm and pyloric channel length >16 mm were used, respectively. The overall complication rate was 14.3% and the mortality rate was 0%. Despite the rarity of HPS in the Third World, the outcome of its management is favourable. However, the sensitivity of abdominal ultrasound for diagnosing HPS is low.

{Prevalence of substance use among college students in Eldoret, western Kenya} - Atwoli, L.; Mungla, P.A.; Ndung'u, M.N.; Kinoti, K.C.; Ogot, E.M. (BMC Psychiatry, 2011)
Background: Substance use among college and university students predicts substance related problems in later life. Few studies on this phenomenon have been carried out in low income countries, and most focus on primary and secondary school students. This study therefore aimed to establish the prevalence and factors associated with drug use among university and college students in a low income country.Methods: Design: A descriptive cross-sectional survey using the Self-Administered WHO Model Core Questionnaire to collect information on use of various drugs among students in colleges and university campuses within Eldoret Municipality in Western Kenya. Setting: Four tertiary learning institutions in Eldoret Municipality were randomly selected for inclusion in the study- three tertiary level non-university institutions and one university campus. Subjects: Five hundred students who gave consent to participate in the study, 125 from each of the four participating institutions. The mean age was 22.9 years (18-32, s.d. 2.5), and males made up 52.2{%} of the sample.Results: Lifetime prevalence rate of any substance use was 69.8{%}, and none of the socio-demographic factors was significantly associated with this. Lifetime prevalence rate of alcohol use was 51.9{%}, and 97.6{%} of alcohol users had consumed alcohol in the week prior to the study. The prevalence rate of cigarette use was 42.8{%}, with males having statistically significantly higher rates than females (p {<} 0.05). Other substances used were cannabis (2{%}) and cocaine (0.6{%}). Among those who admitted to using substances, 75.1{%} were introduced by a friend while 23.5{%} were introduced by a relative other than a member of the nuclear family. Majority of those using substances wanted to relax (62.2{%}) or relieve stress (60.8{%}). Problems associated with alcohol use included quarrelling and fights, loss and damage to property, problems with parents, medical problems and unplanned unprotected sex.Conclusion: The prevalence of substance use among college and university students in Eldoret is high and causes significant physical and psychosocial problems in this population. A large proportion of those using alcohol reported serious adverse effects, raising the necessity of targeted interventions to reduce the risk of subsequent substance dependence and other deleterious consequences. © 2011 Atwoli et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.
