Journal ArticleDOI
New Palladium II and Platinum II Complexes Based on Pyrrole Schiff Bases- Synthesis, Characterization, X‑ray Structure, and Anticancer Activity
Simon N. Mbugua,Simon N. Mbugua,Nicole Remaliah Samantha Sibuyi,Lydia W. Njenga,Ruth A. Odhiambo,Shem O. Wandiga,Mervin Meyer,Roger A. Lalancette,Martin O. Onani +8 more
TL;DR: The C5 complex demonstrated remarkably high selectivity with no cytotoxic activity toward the noncancerous breast cell line but reduced the viability of the five cancerous cell lines, which included one breast cancer cell line, by more than 60%.
Fluorosis in children and sources of fluoride around lake elementaita region of kenya
TL;DR: In this paper, the levels of dental fluorosis were recorded using Thylstrup and Fejerskov classification method (TF) for children aged between 2-14 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Density-functional study of luminescence in polypyridine ruthenium complexes
C. Muhavini Wawire,C. Muhavini Wawire,Damien Jouvenot,Frédérique Loiseau,Pablo Baudin,Sébastien Liatard,Lydia W. Njenga,Geoffrey N. Kamau,Mark E. Casida +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a density-functional theory (DFT) study of five ruthenium complexes has been carried out with the goal of gaining deeper insight into factors governing luminescence lifetimes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of total fluorine in vegetables and plants by open-flame ashing and microdiffusion. Comparison with furnace ashing and oxygen-flask combustion
Lilly Gustafsson,Lydia W. Njenga +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new way for preparing calcium hydroxide suspension, low in fluoride, is described, and the interference of aluminium and silica on microdiffusion was studied: perchloric acid was preferable to sulphuric acid as medium.
Journal Article
Water-labile fluoride in fresh raw vegetable juices from markets in Nairobi, Kenya
TL;DR: Calculation of the amount of fluoride that may be ingested from the juices based on the recommended formulations shows that the juices make a significant contribution to daily fluoride intake.
