Maximum and minimum lumbar interpedicular distances in normal adult Nigerians

AMONOO-KUOFI, H. S. (1981-09)

The pioneering work of Elsberg & Dyke (1934) and later reports by Landmesser & Heublein (1953), Verbiest (1954, 1955), Simril & Thurston (1955), Schwarz (1956), Hinck, Clark & Hopkins (1966) have established the clinical ...
The number and distribution of muscle spindles in human intrinsic postvertebral muscles

AMONOO-KUOFI, HAROLD S. (1982-01)

Analyses of human patterns of movement have shown that a large number of daily activities require movement of the head and trunk as a basic component. The control of postvertebral muscles is obviously of importance in ...
The density of muscle spindles in the medial, intermediate and lateral columns of human intrinsic postvertebral muscles

AMONOO-KUOFI, H. S. (1982-07)

Studies of the mechanics of the trunk have reported that during the initial phase of lifting in the stooped position the body uses additional support of intratruncal pressure to limit the work done by the erector spinae ...
The sagittal diameter of the lumbar vertebral canal in normal adult Nigerians

AMONOO-KUOFI, HAROLD S. (1984-05)

Anatomical narrowing of the lumbar vertebral canal and intervertebral foramina has been reported as a cause of compression of the cauda equina and the emerging nerve roots (Sarpyener, 1945; Schlesinger & Taveras, 1953; ...
Ligaments associated with lumbar intervertebral foramina.

AMONOO-KUOFI, HAROLD S. (1987-05)

The intervertebral foramina, aptly described by Hadley (1949) as being at the crossroads between the peripheral nervous system and the movable skeletal support, transmit the spinal nerves, spinal arteries and veins, the ...
Morphometric changes in the heights and anteroposterior diameters of the lumbar intervertebral discs with age

AMONOO-KUOFI, HAROLD S. (1990-09)

The mechanical properties of the intervertebral discs largely determine the mode and amount of transmission of forces from one vertebra to another (Park, 1980; Shah, 1980). The integrity of the structure and the functional ...
Age-related variations in the horizontal and vertical diameters of the pedicles of the lumbar spine

AMONOO-KUOFI, HAROLD S. (1994-09)

The horizontal and vertical diameters of the pedicles of the lumbar vertebrae were measured from plain anteroposterior radiographs of the lumbar spines of male and female subjects aged from 10 to 65 y. The results showed ...
Plastination: a modern approach to chiropractic teaching

Grondin, Gilles (1998-01)

Plastination is a unique methodfor the preservation of biological materialfor teaching and research. The plastinated specimens are dry, odorless, non-toxic and durable. They can be manipulated by teachers and students ...
Horner’s Syndrome Revisited: With an Update of the Central Pathway

AMONOO-KUOFI, HAROLD S. (1999-01)

A brief summary is presented of the life of Johann Friedrich Horner, the eminent Swiss ophthalmologist, renowned for describing the effects of paralysis of the human cervical sympathetic nerves. His early education, the ...
A 61C and C 101G Hp gene promoter polymorphisms are, respectively, associated with ahaptoglobinaemia and hypohaptoglobinaemia in Ghana

K, Teye; IKE, Quaye; Y, Koda (2003-03)

We have investigated the genetic basis for the Hp0 phenotype amongst 123 randomly selected Ghanaians. A total of 17 individuals were determined to be Hp0 phenotype, based on the classical method for Hp phenotyping of ...
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITIES OF HIPPOCRATEA INDICA ROOT BARK AND POGA OLEOSA FRUITS

Ogbole, O. O.; Ekor, M. N.; Oluremi, B. B.; Ajaiyeoba, E. O.; Ayoola, M. A. (2007-03)

Abstract The methanolic extracts of Hippocratea indica root bark and Poga oleosa fruits were investigated for anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities. Both extracts inhibited carrageenan-induced paw oedema significantly ...
The Mediterranean diet revisited: evidence of its effectiveness grows

Sofi, Francesco (2009-05)

The Mediterranean diet has been consistently shown to be associated with favourable health outcomes and a better quality of life. The findings suggest that significant health gains can be expected in a general population ...
UK-based real-time lymphoproliferative disorder diagnostic service to improve the management of patients in Ghana

Parkins, Elizabeth; Bedu-Addo, George (2009-07)

Abstract The objective of the study was to evaluate the feasibility of a UK-based real-time service to improve the diagnosis and management of lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs) in Ghana. Adult patients reporting to ...
A Study of Assertiveness as a Psychological Factor Influencing Marital Distress in Ghana

Anim, Michael T. (University of Cape Coast, 2010)

The reason for this study was to find out how much distress men and women experience in their marital relationships and whether assertiveness is associated with marital distress. This was done by using the Marital Happiness ...
