Pharmacological Modulation of Steroid Activity in Hormone-Dependent Breast and Prostate Cancers: Effect of Some Plant Extract Derivatives
Bagora Bayala, Abdou Azaque Zoure, Silvère Baron, Cyrille de Joussineau, Jacques Simpore, Jean-Marc A Lobaccaro
: The great majority of breast and prostate tumors are hormone-dependent cancers; hence, estrogens and androgens can, respectively, drive their developments, making it possible to use pharmacological therapies in their hormone-dependent phases by targeting the levels of steroid or modulating their physiological activity through their respectiv(...)

THE CARDIAC PARADOX OF LOSING WEIGHT: A REVIEW OF ROEMHELD GASTROCARDIAC SYNDROME
Ana-Lucia BLENDEA, Samson GUENNE, Alin CIOBICA, Ioan GOTCA, Ionuț RAȚA, Andreea GHERASIM
This review highlights an uncommon yet reversible cause of reflex syncope that prevented an unnecessary pacemaker implantation. We present a rare instance of gastrocardiac syndrome, a frequently overlooked condition that links gastrointestinal disturbances with cardiac symptoms. This review underscores the importance of
identifying modifiabl(...)

Les centres pour « sorcières », espaces sûrs et producteurs de savoirs protecteurs : la réinsertion sociale des personnes accusées de sorcellerie au Burkina Faso
ROUAMBA George
À partir d’enquêtes de longue durée, cet article propose d’évaluer la mise en place d’une intervention communautaire de prise en charge des femmes accusées de sorcellerie et hébergées dans des centres d’accueil. Une intervention innovante a été mise en oeuvre dans l’un de ces centres. Ces lieux, au-delà de leur rôle d’hébergement, apparaissent(...)

The intensive use of nitrogen (N) fertilizers in maize (Zea mays L.) cropping in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) contributes significantly to nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. Due to limited data on emissions and emission factors (EFs) in SSA, this study investigates GHG emissions and proposes EFs under different fertilization regimes in maize cropping(...)

Ateliers de production et réinsertion post-carcérale des ex-détenues de la Maison d’Arrêt et de Correction de Ouagadougou
ZONGO Bouraïman, SAKANDE Aida
Partir des ateliers de production pour comprendre la réinsertion des ex-détenues de la MACO au Burkina Faso a constitué une expérience de documentation pour saisir l’utilité pratique de la prison, entre sa fonction de punition, de privation de liberté, et celle de transformation des individus. Pour comprendre ce processus, la démarche a mobili(...)
