Caffeine improves triathlon performance: a field study in males and females
(Human Kinetics, 2018)The ergogenic effect of caffeine on endurance exercise is commonly accepted. We aimed to elucidate realistically the effect of caffeine on triathlon event performance using a field study design, while allowing investigation ... -
A call for improved reporting on serious adverse events in clinical trials
(Wolters Kluwer, 2019)Following SPRINT (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial) [1], several investigations including systematic reviews and meta-analyses confirmed that reducing SBP to levels below 140 mmHg markedly reduces the risk of ... -
Can ambulatory blood pressure measurements substitute assessment of subclinical cardiovascular damage?
(Kluwer, 2012)Objective: We have previously demonstrated that markers of subclinical organ damage (SOD) improve cardiovascular risk prediction in healthy individuals. We wanted to investigate whether this additive effect of SOD was due ... -
Can South African biokineticists function as recreational therapists: a review of the minimum training standards relevant to each profession?
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)In South Africa, the profession of Recreational Therapy is recognized by neither the Health Professions Council South Africa (HPCSA) nor the Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa (AHPCSA). However, the South ... -

Capsaicin and piperine as functional excipients for improved drug delivery across nasal epithelial models
(Thieme, 2019)The fruit from various pepper plants has been employed for the seasoning of food, as perfuming agents, and also as traditional medicines. Phytochemicals isolated from different pepper species have been found to modulate ... -
Carbamate substituted 2-amino-4,6-diphenylpyrimidines as adenosine receptor antagonists
(Elsevier, 2016)A novel series of carbamate substituted 2-amino-4,6-diphenylpyrimidines was evaluated as potential dual adenosine A1 and A2A receptor antagonists. The majority of the synthesised compounds exhibited promising dual affinities, ... -
Carbon-14 radiolabeling and in vivo biodistribution of a potential anti-TB compound
(Wiley, 2015)A potential anti-TB compound bearing a nitroimidazole moiety from iThemba Pharmaceuticals TB chemical library exhibits promising in vitro activity in the microplate almar blue assay (MABA) with a minimum inhibitory ... -
Carbon-14 radiolabelling and tissue distribution evaluation of a potential anti-TB compound
(Wiley, 2016)This paper describes a five-step synthesis of a carbon-14-labelled pyrazole compound (11). A total of 2.96 MBq of 11 was obtained with the specific activity of 2242.4 MBq/mmol. The radiochemical purity was >99%, and the ... -
Carbon‐14 radiolabeling and tissue distribution evaluation of MMV390048
(Wiley, 2016)The antimalarial compound MMV390048 ([14C]-11) was labeled with carbon-14 isotope via a 3-step synthesis. It was obtained in a 15.5% radiochemical overall yield from carbon-14 labeled methyl iodide with a radiochemical ... -
Cardiac
(Wiley, 2016)This chapter highlights various non-automated classical in vitro techniques used today to evaluate drug effects on cardiac electrophysiology. It then outlines a three-pronged preclinical initiative called the Comprehensive ... -
Cardiac troponin T as early marker of subclinical cardiovascular deterioration in black hypertensive women
(Elsevier, 2017)Background Hypertensive heart disease is a rising concern, especially among black South African women. As high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (cTnT) is a marker of cardiomyocyte damage, we determined the potential link ... -
Cardiac, respiratory and postural influences on venous return of internal jugular and vertebral veins
(Elsevier, 2017)It is known from physiology that heartbeat and respiration influence venous return, but little is known regarding the extent to which these two factors affect flow. In this study, we estimated the prevalence of cardiac- ... -
Cardiometabolic changes in treated versus never treated HIV-infected Black South Africans: the PURE study
(Elsevier, 2014)Background The use of antiretroviral treatment is known to be accompanied by several negative health outcomes and may negatively affect a country such as South Africa, which is the most burdened by the human immunodeficiency ... -
Cardiometabolic markers to identify cardiovascular disease risk in HIV-infected black South Africans
(2014)Background. The prevalence of HIV is the highest in sub-Saharan Africa; South Africa (SA) is one of the most affected countries with the highest number of adults living with HIV infection in the world. Besides ... -
The cardiotonic steroid marinobufagenin is a predictor of increased left ventricular mass in obesity: the African-PREDICT study
(MDPI, 2020)The endogenous Na+/K+-ATPase inhibitor, marinobufagenin (MBG), strongly associates with salt intake and a greater left ventricular mass index (LVMi) in humans and was shown to promote cardiac fibrosis and hypertrophy in ...
