Sub-Saharan Africa is projected to be exposed to substantial climate change hazards, especially in its agricultural sector, so adaptation will be necessary to safeguard food security. However, tropical and subtropical maize production regions approach critical temperature thresholds in the growing season already in today’s climate, and climate change might already be contributing to this. Projecting future, and attributing already observed, yield impacts due to anthropogenic...

This study explored the impact of drought on riparian vegetation dynamics using the Normalize Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Transformed Difference Vegetation Index (TDVI) and Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) from satellite-derived...

Background: High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is a relatively safe, effective, and well-tolerated form of non-invasive ventilation for children with respiratory distress and is regularly used in resource-rich settings. Pediatric HFNC has been successfully implemented in resource-limited settings; however, little is known about the training process required to integrate HFNC into care. The present study evaluates a pediatric HFNC training program conducted at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital...

Background/Objective: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) offers many advantages over open procedures including decreased patient safety risks and reduced burden on healthcare infrastructure. As low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are disproportionately affected by these aspects of surgery, there is motivation to increase MIS. A multimodal training program in laparoscopic salpingectomies was piloted with a small cohort of OB-GYN registrars and consultants at Moi Teaching and Referral...

We adopted a mixed methodology (quantitative and qualitative). At the end of data...

The overwhelming evidence supports the assertion that the climate is undergoing change. Understanding the perception of locals of the magnitude of climate change and its influence on non-timber forest products (NTFPs) challenge at a global scale. Although studies on climate change, value addition, and the multiple uses of NTFPs and their impact on local livelihoods have been conducted, locals' perceptions of these factors have not been fully explored. This study aims to assess...
