Introduction: In spite of considerable progress, malaria remains a public health problem in many areas, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. One major complexity of malaria disease is caused by the development and the spread of vector and parasite resistance to insecticides and antimalarial drugs respectively. The Pfcrt76T gene mutation has bee(...)

Background: Malaria is a major public health problem in Burkina Faso because every yearthe burkinabè population continue to bear a heavy burden. Malaria infection depends on the parasite's ability to interact with the host's red blood cells for its development. In population living in malaria endemic areas, sickle cell trait (HbAS, HbAC and Hb(...)

High-Risk Oncogenic Human Papillomaviruses (HR-HPV) are accountable for 7.7% of
cancers in developing countries, mainly cervical lesions. In Benin, HR-HPV infection in women triggered nearly
781 new cases of cervical cancer each year leading to 616 (79%) deaths. Current vaccines may not cover all
HR-HPV genotypes encountered in West Africa(...)

Based on their strictly individual and immutable characters, fingerprints are indispensable tool for
person’s identification. In forensic science, digital pattern families constitute the first level of comparison
between an incriminated digital trace and a suspect fingerprint. Until now in the literature, there was no data on
the distributi(...)

Successful Closure of Patent Ductus Arteriosus by Late Pharmacologic Treatment in a Small Preterm Infant
Boro Theodore, Ouedraogo Paul, Bama Aime, Seghda Arthur, Zagre Nicaise, Zabsonre Patrice, Simpore Jacques
The ductus arteriosus (DA) is a temporary communicative pathway that connects the pulmonary artery to the aorta during fœtal life. Although usually closing on its own in the initial days of postnatal life, the persistent patency of the DA is common in preterm or low birth weight babies, and can lead to life-threatening complications. Early dia(...)

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection alone is not enough to induce malignant transformation due to viral clearance. Genetic factors could play a very important role in the progression. Genes such as cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) could affect the progression of cervical lesions. The objectives of this study were to screen HPV-positiv(...)

Ownership of health financing policies in low-income countries: a journey with more than one pathway
Joël Arthur Kiendrébéogo & Bruno Meessen
Ownership of development policies in low-income countries (LICs) remains a topical and sensitive issue as it actually questions countries genuine capacity to successfully lead and sustain policies in the long run.
Health financing in LICs is at the crossroad of many of the tensions created by aid assistance—central to debates is the potenti(...)
