Effect of Moringa oleifera on the histology, haematology and growth of Oreochromis mossambicus in aquadams® fertilised with chicken manure in South Africa
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Aquatic Science • Authors: MM Rapatsa --- Aquaculture Research Unit, School of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, South Africa NAG Moyo --- Aquaculture Research Unit, School of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, South AfricaThe effect of Moringa oleifera seed powder on water quality and the histology, haematology and growth of Oreochromis mossambicus was investigated. Five dosage levels, 0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 mg l–1, of M. oleifera seed powder were applied to... -
Heparin flush vs. saline flush for use in the maintenance of adult central venous and intra-arterial catheters: potential harm, too little gain?
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Southern African Journal of Anaesthesia and Analgesia • Authors: GD Nethathe --- Intensive Care Unit, Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, South Africa M Mbeki --- Department of Anaesthesia, Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital, South AfricaHeparin saline use for the maintenance of invasive arterial and central lines may be associated with significant risks and has not been conclusively shown to confer additional benefits over saline flushing alone.

Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Family Practice • Authors: S Ntlokotsi --- Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, South Africa MF Moshesh --- Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, South Africa P Mntla --- Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, South Africa OA Towobola --- Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, South Africa MA Mogale --- Department of Biochemistry, School of Science & Technology, South AfricaBackground: Available evidence suggest that the optimum prothrombin time-international normalised ratio (PT-INR) intensities recommended for anticoagulation of patients with mechanical heart valve prosthesis may not apply to all race groups. Optimal PT-INR target ranges and effectiveness of warfarin oral anticoagulation...
