Abstract:

Introduction: Infectious diseases, particularly among pediatric populations, represent a significant global health problems. Rational antibiotic use is paramount for achieving optimal patient outcomes, but prescribing antibiotics in pediatric settings is a multifaceted task influenced by various factors, including prescriber's knowledge and experience. Aim: This study, conducted at Pediatric Department at Bouaké University Hospital (Côte d'Ivoire) (CHU), aimed to investigate the relationship between prescriber's experience and the appropriateness of antibiotic prescriptions for pediatric patients. Material and Methods: The academic study lasted from June 1, 2019, to July 31, 2019, within the pediatric department of the Bouaké University Hospital. It included all children age 0 to 15 years, who were receiving antibiotic therapy for at least 48 hours. Evaluation of antibiotic therapy relied on criteria from authoritative references in infectious diseases. Antibiotic therapy was deemed appropriate if it was clinically justified for treating the specific infectious disease. Prescribers' experience-related variables, including years in medical practice, specialization level, and other pertinent factors, were integrated into the analysis to gain insights into their influence on the appropriateness and compliance of antibiotic prescriptions. Data analysis was executed using EPI INFO 2007 version 7.1.3.3 software, employing statistical tests such as Pearson's chi-square and Fisher's exact test. Results: The study unveiled that the incidence of antibiotic prescription among hospitalized children over the two-month period was 31.28%. Most prescribers had approximately 2 years of experience, with an average overall experience of 3.25 years. Male prescribers slightly outnumbered their female counterparts, and specialist physicians constituted the majority of prescribers (70.94%). Compliance was markedly higher among older children (46.76%) in comparison to infants (2.34%). Beta-lactam antibiotics were the most frequently prescribed class, accounting for 62.72% of antibiotic prescriptions. Non-compliance, particularly concerning dosage, was prevalent, contributing to 33.05% of cases, with betalactams being a prominent contributor. Conclusion: Although the influence of prescriber experience on antibiotic appropriateness remained inconclusive, the significance of rational antibiotic use remains pivotal. These findings underscore the necessity for continual efforts to optimize antibiotic therapy in pediatric care, endorsing evidence-based prescribing practices to safeguard the efficacy of antibiotics for future generations.

Abstract:

When Bamileke women in urban Cameroon give birth, older women often recall the ‘troubles’, the period between 1955 and 1974 when the UPC (Union des Populations du Cameroun) waged a battle of national independence, as a way of teaching their daughters about the hazards of reproduction and threats to Bamileke integrity as a people (Feldman-Savelsberget al.). Slightly to the north-west, in the Nigerian city of Kano, Igbo talk constantly about their memories of the Biafran war, using them to forge a sense of Igbo ethnic distinctiveness that reinforces patterns of patron-client relations critical to the maintenance of transregional connections (Smith), while further to the south many Yoruba are reassessing the meaning of the old practice of pawning children (Renne). Meanwhile in Botswana, where the AIDS epidemic exacts a high death toll, members of an Apostolic church create distinctive practices of remembering what caused a person's death. In so doing, they counter the attenuation of care and support that often occurs when people interpret death as due to illnesses transmitted through blood and improper sexual relations (Klaits). By contrast in a Samburu community in Kenya, the cultural practice ofntotoi, a complex board game, reproduces a male-dominated history of kinship, while systematically erasing a female narrative of adulterous births and forced infanticide. And among rural Beng in Côte d'Ivoire, beliefs and practices that structure infant care serve as an indirect critique of the violence of French colonialism and of its aftermath that continues to interfere in Beng lives in the form of high rates of infant mortality (Gottlieb). As these examples taken from this volume indicate, the papers gathered together in this special issue examine the complex and often contradictory ways in which the reproduction of memories shapes the social and biological reproduction of people.

Abstract:

Drug use is growing rapidly in Côte d'Ivoire, leading to serious adaptation difficulties and mental health problems. The present study aims at presenting the profile of women with drug use problem in Côte d'Ivoire. The participants, aged 14 to 67 years, were 83 patients of the Blue Cross of Côte d'Ivoire. Data related to drug use were obtained through urine tests (Rapitest) and semi-directive interviews with patients and their resource persons. The results indicate three profiles of women with problematic use. They also indicate that 4/5 of these women are poly-consumers. Considering these results, and given the growing interest of women in decision-making structures, it seems useful to reinforce measures to prevent and / or care for girls in drug problem.

Abstract:

State of complete physical, mental and social well-being, health is fundamental for man. Yet global figures for access to health are alarming. According to Gijs (2011) 2.5 billion people in the world do not have access to basic health care. In Côte d'Ivoire, the State has made population access a priority. Thus, sanitary infrastructures were built and equipped (PNDS, 2016). However, the problem of access to health services remains. The city of GrandBassam, located in the south-east of Côte d'Ivoire, has a wide range of health structures. Yet there are still people who still do not have access to health care. According to the RASS (2015), 25% of the population of Grand-Bassam still does not use health services. The purpose of this article is to identify the determinants of the access of the population of Grand-Bassam to health services. The methodological approach adopted to conduct this study took into account a bibliographic synthesis and the administration of a questionnaire. This study shows that perception of distance, income of head of household, perception of cost of care, household size, educational level, and age of households are the factors that determine access health services in the city of Grand-Bassam.

Abstract:

Thalassemias are genetic diseases, an inherited blood disorder which is characterized by a defect in the production of hemoglobin. These diseases result in a decrease in the quantity or size of red cells. There are two types: alpha and beta-thalassemia. The most severe forms are manifested by chronic anemia which can lead to death without proper treatment. Many research works recognize that therapeutic compliance, especially among people with chronic disease, is mandatory for better management of the disease. However, very few studies shed light on the impact of the latter on hemoglobinopathies. This article is a preliminary study which aims to identify the factors observed in patients with beta-thalassemia. Starting from a qualitative approach, nine people were subjected to semi-structured interviews on their experience and perception of the management of beta-thalassemia by the nursing staff. The results obtained made it possible to identify on the one hand three factors of non-compliance which are: the quality of the doctor-patient relationship, the chronicity of the disease and the reliability of care, and the interactions between these factors and the efficient management of their health. Keywords: Beta-thalassemia, therapeutic noncompliance, therapeutic alliance, Côte d'Ivoire.

Abstract:

Abstract INTRODUCTION Intracranial malignant gliomas are serious conditions that constitute a therapeutic challenge. In Côte d'Ivoire, since 2019, their care meets international standards with the advent of the National Center of Radiotherapy and Medical Oncology Alassane Ouattara and interdisciplinary consultation meetings. Our objective was to evaluate the morbidity and mortality of patients treated for high-grade gliomas in Côte d'Ivoire. MATERIALS AND METHODS We realized from March 2019 to June 2021, a retrospective cohort study on 19 patients with malignant intracranial glioma, without distinction of age and sex, whether alive or deceased. They were 12 male patients and 07 female patients. The parameters studied were, among others, the type and quality of complementary treatment, the evolution under treatment, and the time to onset of recurrence and death. RESULTS The time to consultation was early in 57.9% of cases. High ICP syndrome was the main reason for consultation at 51.6%, followed by neurological deficit. Surgery was performed on average in all patients within 30 days after imaging. The histological diagnosis of grade 4 glioma was pronounced in 16 patients. Postoperative radiotherapy was performed in 94.7% of cases, associated with concomitant then adjuvant chemotherapy with temozolomide in 84.2% of patients. During the treatment, two cases of local recurrence were notified. At the end of the cohort, the death rate was estimated at 73.7%, with a median survival of 11 months and extremes ranging from 06 months to 34 months. CONCLUSION Despite the availability and application of reference therapeutic processes, malignant glioma remains, due to many factors related to our context, a very pejorative prognosis. This study should continue with the inclusion of a larger number of patients in order to review the state of play of the management of high-grade gliomas in Côte d'Ivoire.

Abstract:

En vue de mieux appréhender le niveau de connaissance de la population ivoirienne sur l’espèce Euphorbia heterophylla et d’enrichir la pharmacopée ivoirienne, une étude ethnobotanique a été réalisée. Elle s’est faite à partir d’une prospection au cours de laquelle des échantillons de plantes ont été prélevés dans les cinq zones géographiques de la Côte d’Ivoire, suivie d’une enquête dans certaines localités. La prospection a permis de ressortir 3 morphotypes caractérisés par 3 formes de tige : unique, peu ramifiée et très ramifiée ainsi que 3 formes de feuilles : ovale, violon et lancéolée. Sur le plan culturel, l’étude a révélé que 75% des personnes enquêtées connaissent la plante, 55% la considèrent comme mauvaise herbe, 13,39% estiment qu’elle sert à prodiguer des soins de santé aux humains. L’organe le plus utilisé est la feuille pour les soins à 100%. Le mode de préparation le plus utilisé est le broyage de feuilles fraîches ou l’expression. Les modes d’applications sont surtout cutanés (90%). Elle est fréquemment utilisée pour le traitement du paludisme, soit 33% des cas. Les autres soins prodigués allaient contre les maladies infantiles dont la fièvre (11%) et d’autres maux. Ces résultats peuvent servir de base de recherches en phytochimie et en pharmacologie. English title: Ethnobotanical study on Euphorbia heterophylla in Côte d'Ivoire In order to better understand the level of knowledge of the Ivorian population on the species Euphorbia heterophylla and to enrich the Ivorian pharmacopoeia, an ethnobotanical study was carried out. It was based on a survey during which samples of plants were taken in the five geographical areas of Côte d'Ivoire, followed by a survey in some localities. The survey allowed us to identify 3 morphotypes characterized by 3 stem shapes: single, little branched and very branched as well as 3 leaf shapes: oval, violin and lanceolate. On the cultural level, the study revealed that 75% of the people surveyed know the plant, 55% consider it as a weed, 13.39% believe that it is used to provide health care to humans. The most used organ is the leaf for health care at 100%.

Abstract:

Pregnancy is a physiological condition that requires prenatal followup during which medical care ensures that complications in childbirth are prevented and that a healthy child is born as much as possible. It is therefore important for pregnant women to undergo a number of clinical examinations, including blood tests and HIV / AIDS testing, which are in the process of being integrated into the monitoring of women at the primary health care. However, pregnant women do not systematically use these practices in Urban Sanitary Training in Côte d'Ivoire generally and in Bouaké in particular. The free choice of women to submit to the various tests, the health benefits of which are the subject of recurrent information campaigns, does not always lead to their rigorous application during prenatal consultations. It therefore appears that the resistances or the sometimes unsystematic choices of acceptance of the tests and their referents become the object of reflection in the face of the challenge of improving the safe motherhood rate and the attainment of a generation without HIV-AIDS. What are the social attitudes and perceptions related to blood tests and HIV-AIDS testing in pregnant women ? The aim of this study is to understand the social logics underlying the positive or negative attitude of pregnant women to blood tests and the HIV-AIDS test. To address this concern, an essentially qualitative study was carried out among 16 pregnant women and the medical staff of the Urban Sanitary Formation of Ahougnansou in Bouaké (Côte d'Ivoire). The main finding of this study is that attitudes of pregnant women have links to socially situated representations of the disease, stigma, education, income, and perceived risks to social and marital relationships.

Abstract:

Objective: Hard-to-heal wounds are an important, yet often neglected, public health issue in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Malnutrition has been identified as a risk factor for prolonged healing times. However, nutritional supplements are not routinely provided for patients with hard-to-heal wounds, and so this study aimed to investigate their benefits. Method: This 9-month study was conducted in the Taabo Health and Demographic Surveillance System in the south-central part of Côte d'Ivoire. Patients with wounds (≥30mm2) were recruited. Treatment was standardised for inpatients (72%) and outpatients (28%). There were three intervention groups: supplemented with soy; orange flesh sweet potato (OFSP); or both. Another group was included without supplement, serving as control. General linear models were employed to assess the effects of log initial wound size, type of wound, food treatment group, haemoglobin, sex, age, place of treatment and body mass index on the rate of wound closure. Results: The cohort consisted of 56 patients, 41 of whom were placed in intervention groups, and the remainder as controls. Within the cohort, 37 (66%) patients suffered from Buruli ulcer, 15 (27%) from traumatic wounds and four (7%) from erysipelas. We found a significant effect (p=0.004) of diet supplemented with OFSP on the wound healing rate. Conclusion: OFSP is a nutritional rehabilitation supplement, characterised by a high content of beta-carotene and carbohydrates. It is associated with shortened wound healing times, reduced discomfort and reduced cost of wound care. Further research should investigate the effect of a diet rich in beta-carotene, in combination with standard medical care, on hard-to-heal wound healing in LMICs.

Abstract:

Health is a fundamental human right. It is enshrined as such in the preamble of the WHO Constitution. Unfortunately, in southern countries in general, and particularly in Côte d'Ivoire, the effectiveness of this fundamental right leaves much to be desired. The factors generally highlighted to account for this state are the material and infrastructural aspects. Few works deal with psychosocial and anthropological factors. In reproductive health, for example, the existence in certain rural localities of health centers, provided with drugs, materials and personnel, and the free provision of certain reproductive care, are not enough to decide pregnant women to undergo antenatal consultations. . Through this research, we therefore wish to question the role of the aforementioned factors in the decision of pregnant women in rural areas to undergo prenatal consultations. This qualitative research was carried out in the department of Kokomiani in April 2021.

Abstract:

Background: In Côte d'Ivoire, since the advent of the crisis of the HIV and AIDS epidemic, the structural adjustment policy of the 1980s and the end of the policy of total free healthcare for the majority of the population, the strategies within families for health emerged. In order to heal, the therapeutic routes within families are made by symbolic practices based on traditionalism, modernism and the juxtaposition of traditionalism and modernism. Method: A qualitative study made it possible to collect data from semi-structured interviews with seven (07) families in which 22 key people were interviewed and ten (10) sellers of medicines (including 05 street drug sellers called "cheaper" and 05 traditional healers for medicinal plants). Also, a detailed documentary exploitation and a participant observation for a period of eight (8) months structured by an observation grid formalized in a notebook were conducted. These data were analyzed by taking into account endogenous and exogenous knowledge including the symbolic practices of structuring health within families and this community. Result: The study shows that therapeutic dynamics within families are dominated by curative care practices with a juxtaposition of mobilizable care (modern and traditional medicine, self-medication). This domination of the curative on the preventive is intended to anesthetize the health or therapeutic awareness of the patient and his family. In addition, the study found that the pharmaceutical basket is largely structured therapeutic products housed in the tradition model and therapeutic products under the "common sense" (street drug). The consequence of all these health practices within families is the observation of the death of the individual by an easily curable disease. Conclusion: The present study was conducted in the Abbey community, an ethnic group in the southern region of Côte d'Ivoire, an area strongly marked by the colonization. The objective was to understand the social dynamics that structure the therapeutic practices and perceptions for the health care and preservation of the members of this community based on the health results obtained. In analysis, the remoteness of individuals from preventive therapeutic practices advocated by the health authorities is part of the actor strategy that Michel Crozier (1977) discusses, either to circumvent the financial expenses, or to give meaning to an event not judged too unfavorable for them or to reach a socio-cultural order not communicable.

Abstract:

Introduction: During the 2009 influenza A(H1N1) pandemic (pH1N1), different methods were promoted to reduce the spread of influenza, including respiratory etiquette and vaccination. To identify knowledge gaps about influenza and to plan the vaccination campaign against the pandemic in Côte d’Ivoire, a survey was conducted among health-care providers (HCPs) to assess their knowledge about influenza and their willingness to be vaccinated. Methodology: A cross-sectional survey was performed in the city of Abidjan on 16-18 February 2010, in the three university teaching hospitals, a randomly selected general hospital, and two randomly selected private clinics. In face-to-face interviews, 383 health-care professionals were asked questions about their knowledge of influenza, means of influenza prevention, and their willingness to be vaccinated. Data analysis, both univariate and multivariate, was performed using SPSS. Results: Willingness to be vaccinated against pH1N1 was 80% (n = 284), and 83% of the HCPs would recommend the vaccine to others. The respiratory mode of transmission of influenza was known by 85% (n = 295) of the participants and 50% (n = 174) believed that seasonal influenza virus and pH1N1 virus were different. In a multivariate model, the factors significantly associated with willingness to receive pH1N1vaccine were fear of pH1N1 disease (OR = 2.1; IC = 1.02-4.35), having only a high school education (OR = 8.28; IC = 2.04-33.60), and feeling at risk to contract pH1N1 (OR = 11.43; IC = 4.77-27.38). Conclusion: The willingness to be vaccinated against influenza A (H1N1) by health professionals is real.

Abstract:

Objectives To evaluate survival, morbidity, and CD4 and viral load (VL) evolution in HIV-infected adults receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Côte d'Ivoire. Methods Since 1996, 723 HIV-infected adults have been followed up in the ANRS 1203 cohort study in Abidjan. For those patients who received ART, we describe data between ART initiation and August 2002. Results One-hundred-and-one adults (61% women) were followed up under ART for a median of 17 months. At ART initiation, median age, CD4 count and VL were 36 years, 135/mm3 and 5.3 log10 copies/ml, respectively. Initial ART regimens were two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) plus one protease inhibitor in 74 patients, two NRTIs plus one non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor in 16, and two NRTIs in 11. No patient was lost to follow-up. The most frequent causes of severe morbidity were bacterial infections [11.6/100 person-years (PY), 95% CI: 7.2–18.7], drug-related events (6.5/100 PY, 3.5–12.0), tuberculosis (3.1/100 PY, 1.3–7.4) and malaria (3.1/100 PY, 1.3–7.4). The incidence of death was 3.0/100 PY (1.1–8.0) in patients with baseline CD4 ≥50/mm3 and 16.1/100 PY (7.2–35.9) in patients with CD4 <50/mm3. Fifty percent of causes of death were active infections pre-existing ART initiation, mainly atypical mycobacteriosis. After 1 year, 51% of patients had undetectable VL, 28% had detectable VL reduced by more than 0.5 log10 copies/ml since ART initiation, and the median gain in CD4 was +115/mm3. Conclusion Medium-term survival under ART may be as good in Africa as in industrialized countries, provided that patients benefit from access to care for opportunistic infections, including bacterial diseases, tuberculosis and malaria.

Abstract:

Among the neglected tropical disease, Buruli ulcer (BU) is a real public health problem in Côte d'Ivoire. Facing this pathology, international and national institutions to combat advocate for people in endemic areas early detection and immediate use of support centers at the first signs. However, patients continue to attend late care centers with large ulcerative lesions. Therefore, healing requires a long-term hospitalization that requires medical and surgical treatment. The main objective of this study is to analyze the factors that change the therapeutic route of BU patients and constraints socio - economic issues related to their hospitalisation. This is a qualitative and quantitative study. We used the technique of reasoned choice. It covered 55 patients met at the Djekanou care center in the Toumodi Health District. Data were collected through structured and semi - structured interviews based on questionnaires, individual interview guides and focus groups. A significant proportion of patients with BU are children and adolescents. The sick are accompanied by a parent who takes care of them. Awareness campaigns, community health workers, television and radio did not really help to change the therapeutic itinerary of patients. The patients encountered testify to the ineffectiveness of traditional care. The hospitalization of patients is marked by difficulties of several kinds.

Abstract:

Loranthaceae are hemiparasitic vascular plants that develop on other woody species. They are used in traditional medicine to treat various pathologies. The present study is a contribution to the knowledge of the medicinal potential of Loranthaceae used in care by Agni Sanwi of Aboisso and Maferé, in the South-East of Côte d'Ivoire. Ethnobotanical surveys were conducted with 50 herbalists and 17 traditional healers using semi-structured interviews. Three (3) species (Globimetula braunii, Phragmanthera capitata and Tapinanthus bangwensis) divided into 3 genera used to treat 35 diseases were identified. They have been cited in the formulation of several remedies. Malaria, typhoid fever, diarrhea and fontanelle were the most commonly reported conditions. Leaves and leafy twigs are the main organs used. The decoction has been predominant in the acquisition of remedies. The drink was the most cited as a method of administering treatments. The Frequency of Citations (FC) of the Loranthaceae employed in the care and medicinal Informant Agreement Ratio (med.IARs) of the respondents were determined. T. bangwensis had the highest FC (95.52%) and med.IARs (0.73). The therapeutic potentials of Loranthaceae have been highlighted and deserve to be popularized through complementary phytochemical investigations.

Abstract:

Background: Multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR) represent a global health scourge. Their emergence in hospital services complicates the clinical management of infections caused in particular in immunocompromised persons. The objective of our work was to evaluate the prevalence of MDR in the neonatal services of the University Hospitals Centers of Abidjan. Materials and Methods: The present study took place from September to November 2020 and from January to June 2021. The samples collected consisted of venous blood samples for blood cultures, rectal swabs from newborns, nasal and hand swabs from health care workers, and swabs from inert surfaces and neonatal care equipment. Bacterial identification methods, antibiotic susceptibility testing, and Chi-square testing were performed. Results: A total of 513 samples were obtained from which 215 organisms were isolated and identified. These bacteria consisted of 52.1% Gram-negative bacilli, of which 77.7% were Enterobacteriaceae and 47.9% Gram-positive cocci. Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) (25.6%), coagulase-Negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) (24.6%), and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) (23.2%) were the most isolated bacteria. The overall prevalence of MDR was 73.9%. The main antibiotic resistance phenotypes described were the production of Broad Spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) in 71.9% of Enterobacteriaceae and methicillin resistance (Meti-R) in 75.6% of Staphylococcus. ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae (E-ESBL) were mainly observed in rectal carriage and Meti-R strains in blood cultures in newborns in the respective proportions of 45.6% and 56.4%. Conclusion: In our work, the results obtained showed a high prevalence of MDR in neonatal services and newborns are the most affected subjects. Improving hygiene rules and control and rationalizing the use of antibiotics are highly recommended control strategies to reduce the hospital dissemination of MDR.

Abstract:

Despite evidence of high interest and willingness to use PrEP by key populations behaviorally vulnerable to HIV infection, a lack of comprehensive PrEP knowledge and low HIV testing currently undermine HIV prevention efforts in Cote d’Ivoire. Given that HIV testing is the initial phase in the HIV prevention care continuum, this study examined the prevalence and association between HIV PrEP knowledge and HIV testing among sexually experienced men aged 15-59 years using the dataset from the 2021 Cote d’Ivoire Demographic and Health Survey (N=7,591). Prevalence estimates were obtained using frequencies and proportions. A multivariate logistic regression model was fitted to examine the relationship between the independent and dependent variables within the population. The findings reveal that merely 8.3% of the participants were aware of and endorsed PrEP, and 23.7% have undergone HIV testing. Yet, 83.8% of the participants reported being sexually active, with 32.8% involved in multiple sexual partnerships. Knowledge and approval of PrEP was a poor predictor of sexual activity (AOR=1.11, 95% CI=.81-1.53, p=.524), unlike HIV testing was strongly associated with higher odds of being sexually active (AOR=6.74, 95% CI=4.94-9.21, p<.001) in those who have undergone HIV testing. Knowledge of HIV test kits and anti-retroviral treatment were both strongly associated with higher odds of sexual activity and multiple sexual partnerships. To stem the tide of new HIV transmission, HIV Prevention initiatives should be prioritized among sexually active men by developing innovative approaches to scale up HIV testing and optimize comprehensive knowledge of PrEP in Cote d’Ivoire.

Abstract:

Introduction: The aromatic plants have occupied an important place in the daily life of man. The excessive and repetitive use of drugs has led the body to develop resistance to their curative effects. Many authors have focused on the study of the therapeutic properties of essential oils in order to provide new remedies. They are used as a source of bioactive molecules of natural origin. Objective: The objective of this work is to contribute to the valorization of medicinal and aromatic plants of the Ivorian flora. We propose to determine the chemical composition and to evaluate the antioxidant activity by spectrophotometry of the essential oil. Materials and Methods: The plant material consists of the leafy twigs of C. odorata. The technical of steam distillation using a four-compartment stainless steel device was used to extract the essential oil from the plant matrix. The analysis of the essential oils was carried out on a GC chromatograph (7890A, Agilent Technologies) coupled to a mass spectrometer (5975C, Agilent Technologies). The antioxidant potential of the extracts was evaluated using the Blois method. Results: The essential oil obtained by steaming, with an aromatic odor and pale green color has a yield of (0.082 ± 0.004) %. Analysis of the chromatogram and mass spectra identified 24 phytocompounds (99.92%). The phytochemical composition is dominated by hydrocarbon sesquiterpenes (44.21%) followed by hydrocarbon monoterpenes (29.48%) and other compounds (26.23%). The major compound are α-pinene (17.79%), 6-propen-1-enylbicyclo [3.1.0] and hexan-2-one (14.95%) . Conclusion: The essential oil extract of C. odorata exhibits low antioxidant activity compared to vitamin C.

Abstract:

AbstractMemory is often considered a monopoly of adults and older children: the younger the child, the less significant the capacity for recollecting. In Côte d'Ivoire, the Beng posit a radically different theory of cognitive development: adults say that the younger the child, the keener the memory. Moreover, such recall is of a specific sort – infants allegedly hold strong memories of a previous existence before birth (wrugbe), where people reportedly live harmoniously and there is never material want. Nevertheless, remembering this space of plenitude can prove agonizing for babies, making their hold on life precarious, and a distressing array of culturally shaped diseases threaten their survival. Protecting against illness requires an elaborate bathing, jewellery and make-up routine twice daily that begins at birth and continues for the first year. All this somatic activity is meant to lure the child fully and definitively into this world, and to counteract the strong call of the afterlife that adults say is created by the infant's own memories. Why is wrugbe, as purportedly remembered by infants, envisaged as a place of plenitude? And why is it located in an historically identified past? In this essay – which is necessarily to some extent speculative given its subject of infant memory – I explore the allegorical implications of the Beng afterlife, suggesting that the attribution of heightened infant memory of an idyllic wrugbe serves as an indirect critique of French colonialism and its aftermath. I conclude by discussing the ways in which memory and forgetting are mutually constructed, with the Beng model offering substantial support for the contention that reproduction in general – and babies in particular – are crucial to this intertwined process.

Abstract:

Archaeological sources reported traces of trepanation in ancient Egypt 3000 years ago, and Papyri of that time already describedtechniques for the treatment of head trauma (1). The history of modern neurosurgery in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is recent, and thereare two significant periods to be considered.The first period can be called the pre-independence period. This period corresponded tothe 1950s, when most African nations were still colonized. During this period, neurosurgical care was delivered by surgeons originallyfrom European countries. For instance, in West Africa, the first neurosurgical operations were carried out in 1957 by a French militarymedical officer at the Hôpital Principal de Dakar. Later, in 1972, the first neurosurgical care delivery was organized in "Côte d'Ivoire"under Drs. B.Courson and C. Cournil. During the same period, neurosurgery service delivery developed in English-speaking West Africancountries. In Ghana and Nigeria, the discipline was introduced by local neurosurgeons who had trained in Europe, namely Dr. JTO.Mustaffa in 1962 (Ghana) and Dr. JL Odeku 1969 (Nigeria) (2,3,5). In Southern and Eastern Africa, the specialty was initiated by Dr. P.Cliffort in Kenya and Dr. I. Bailey in Uganda. In Zimbabwe, Dr. Lawrence Levy was the first neurosurgeon to practice the discipline (2, 3).

Abstract:

Buruli ulcer is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans. It begins with a lump, swelling, skin plate and progresses to severe ulceration and disabling sequelae . For over a decade, it is a real public health problem in Côte d'Ivoire. The institutions responsible for the fight against this disease advocate for patients in endemic areas early case detection and immediate recourse to specialized care centers. Despite this recommendation, the therapeutic itinerary of patients is multimodal. This study aims to analyze the therapeutic itinerary plural sick of Buruli ulcer and to determine the factors that justify the paradoxes and contradictions between state recommendations and behaviors of patients. It took place in three support centers in the health district of yamoussoukro. In a qualitative approach, with observation checklists, interview guides, this study was conducted with 50 patients, 18 healers in the care center and 4 traditional healers. Patients rely successively, alternatively or additionally to the African medicine and care center. Traditional medicine is the first therapeutic choice for most patients. The proximity of traditional healer, cultural beliefs and representations related to the disease, the constraints of hospitalization, ignorance of the disease make account plural therapeutic itineraries sick of Buruli ulcer.The patients do not adhere to early detection and immediate access to health care centers. Free medical care for Buruli ulcer is fraught with difficulties because of patient behaviors. The hospital management does not consider the social environment of patients and the relationship between the disease and culture that influence the therapeutic itinerary of patients.

Abstract:

The "new conflict" that emerged in the 90s, mainly in developing countries, is a major obstacle to improving health. Quantitative studies of the impact of armed conflict on maternal health indicators are still fragmentary and scarce. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of the 2002 and the 2010 conflicts on maternal health in Côte d'Ivoire. In this study, we choose a particular type of health care service with assisted delivery in a health center. We use the parametric difference using the difference method to estimate our parameter of interest. Also, we use the propensity score technique and the standard error bootstrap technique to regulate some double difference hypotheses. In making our estimates, we use survey data including the MICS 2000 and 2006 and EDSCI 2012. Our results show that, globally, the crisis of 2002 had a negative effect on the use of assisted delivery in the CNO zone (Center North and West) (-0,708). The same is true for the post-election crisis (-0,514). On the other hand, in South and Abidjan zone, the 2002 crisis had no significant effect, while that of the 2010 crisis had a positive effect (+0,628). The conflicts of 2002 and 2010 therefore constituted a major impediment to access to maternal health care services for households living in CNO zone.

Abstract:

Vitellaria paradoxa, commonly known as the shea tree, is a tree of the family Sapotaceae and represents a traditional African food plant. It has been claimed to have the potential to improve nutrition, boost food supply, foster rural development, and support sustainable land care. Despite its multiple potentials, statistical data relating to its production are non-existent and/or unexploited in several African communities. To contrast this tendency, the present study aims to assess the intra-seasonal variation in fruit production of a sample of 115 shea trees and then to establish a correlation between yield parameters and several dendrometric features. Dendrometric (i.e. tree height, trunk girth, and crown basal area) and pomological (i.e. fruit and nut length and width) parameters, as well as yield parameters by monitoring daily fallen fruit from each sampled shea tree, carried out for five years consecutively, were considered for this study. The results showed inter-year fluctuation of shea fruit/nut number and shea fruit/nut weight. In addition, the results showed a significant increase in the annual average of shea fruit/nut yield per tree and as well per girth and/or crown basal area interval class, randomly generated by Sturge and Yule's formula. Interestingly, potentially high producing trees emerged within each considered interval class. Then, observed intraclass variation between trees determining shea yield can be exploited in selecting elite shea trees.

Abstract:

In Africa and particularly in Côte d'Ivoire, traditional medicine highlights the consideration of the association between biological, psychological and social factors within the framework of public health policies. But in reality, it is clear that there is a neglect of the psychosocial dimension in favor of the biomedical aspects, even on the part of traditional healers in the management of incurable diseases. Indeed, traditional medicine seems to be part of a process of reduction to phytotherapy drugs while ignoring its cultural basis. The question is to know which posture and which approach appear to be the most appropriate in the evaluation, prevention and treatment of complex diseases. The objective of this research is to describe and analyze the perceptions of the causes of so-called "incurable" diseases and the therapeutic responses proposed by traditional healers. The methodology was based on documentary research and semi-structured interviews with 30 traditional healers in the district of Abidjan. The results show that the perception of causes and therapeutic responses are surrounded by complexity. This research has therefore highlighted the fact that people with an incurable disease are considered by traditional healers as people in need of psychosocial care. Ultimately, it should be noted that traditional medicine offers an alternative response to the management of so-called incurable diseases in the district of Abidjan. These characteristics of the perception of causes and therapeutic responses are parameters to be considered in the management of so-called incurable diseases in African society.

Abstract:

This study aimed to identify facility-level characteristics associated with prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission service quality. This cross-sectional study sampled 60 health facilities in Mozambique, Côte d’Ivoire, and Kenya (20 per country). Performance score – the proportion of pregnant women tested for HIV in first antenatal care visit, multiplied by the proportion of HIV-positive pregnant women who received appropriate antiretroviral medications – was calculated for each facility using routine data from 2012 to 2013. Facility characteristics were ascertained during on-site visits, including workload. Associations between facility characteristics and performance were quantified using generalized linear models with robust standard errors, adjusting for country. Over six months, facilities saw 38,611 first antenatal care visits in total. On-site CD4 testing, Pima CD4 machine, air conditioning, and low or high (but not mid-level) patient volume were each associated with higher performance scores. Each additional first antenatal care visit per nurse per month was associated with a 4% (95% confidence interval: 1%–6%) decline in the odds that an HIV-positive pregnant woman would receive both HIV testing and antiretroviral medications. Physician workload was only modestly associated with performance. Investments in infrastructure and human resources – particularly nurses – may be critical to improve prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission service delivery and protect infants from HIV.

Abstract:

Abstract The outcome of pediatric central nervous system tumors has improved over the past decades due to advances in diagnostic testing, treatment and increased understanding of the disease biology. Nevertheless, the probability of survival of this tumors remains much lower in low-to middle-income countries. The gaps that prevent optimal clinical management of brain tumors are multifactorial and mostly related to underdiagnosis; a lack of specialized and dedicated radiologic, histopathologic, neurosurgical, radiotherapeutic, and oncology services, and a deficiency of coordinated multidisciplinary care in many centers. The aim of this report was to evaluate the impact of multidisciplinary team meetings on the clinical management of pediatric central nervous system tumors in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire). We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of pediatric patients (aged <15 years) with central nervous system tumors diagnosed and treated in the Neurosurgery Department and National Center of Radiotherapy between 2019 (the year a neuro-oncological multidisciplinary staff was established) and 2023. Data on patient demographics, clinical notes, imaging studies, tumor characteristics and multidisciplinary team decision were collected from the multidisciplinary team database. During the multidisciplinary team meetings era, 40 pediatric central nervous system tumors were diagnosed and treated. The median age at diagnosis was 8.5 years. The mostly histological types were high grade and low grade gliomas. Decision-making was largely consistent with available guidelines. Therapeutic were surgery, external beam radiation treatment with concurrent and adjuvant chemotherapy. Benefits of neuro-oncology multidisciplinary team include coordination, direction for complicated cases, education, and a forum for communication, and clinical trials.

Abstract:

Buruli ulcer is a neglected trophical disease. It is characterized by the development of painless open wounds. It causes large skin ulcers mainly in children aged 5 to 15 years. Buruli ulcer is a skin infection caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium ulcerans. The disease is concentrated in West Africa and coastal Australia, with occasional cases in Japan, Papua, New Guinea and the Americas. In West Africa, the disease is predominantly reported from remote, rural communities, Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Ghana, and Nigeria. In endemic areas, the disease occurs near stagnant bodies of water. This is in agreement with the long-standing hypothesis that M. ulcerans is somehow transmitted to humans from aquatic environments. The first sign of Buruli ulcer is a painless swollen bump on the arm or leg, often similar in appearance to an insect bite. Over the course of a few weeks, the original swollen area expands to form an irregularly shaped patch of raised skin. Buruli ulcer can be diagnosed using microscopy, culture, and polymerase chain reaction. For microscopy, fluid is typically taken from the ulcer's edge by fine-needle aspiration or by swabbing the edge of the ulcer. The fluid is then stained with the Ziehl–Neelsen stain which makes Mycobacterium visible. Buruli ulcer is treated with a combination of antibiotics such as streptomycin, azithromycin to kill the bacteria, wound care and surgery to support the healing of the ulcer. Buruli ulcer can be prevented by avoiding contact with aquatic environments in endemic areas. The risk of acquiring it can be reduced by wearing long sleeves and gardening gloves, and using suitable repellents to avoid the contamination of this disease. Buruli ulcer is a public health challenge especially in rural areas of developing countries that should be given more attention by the government and policy makers.
