Alassane Compaoré, Moustapha Sawadogo, Youssouf Sawadogo, Moussa Ouedraogo, Brahima Sorgho, Mohamed Seynou, Philippe Blanchart, Lamine Zerbo,
The paper describes lightweight-foamed concretes (LFC) that were formulated from cement, natural sand, and
foam from a foaming agent with densities of 600 and 700 kg/m3. The identified mineral phases in the cement are
alite, belite, Celite, ferrite, calcite, and gypsum. The obtained foamed concretes have a porosity varying from
29.17 to 37.(...)

G6PD Deficiency and COVID-19 in Burkina Faso: A Possible Link?
Abdoul Karim Ouattara, Lassina Traoré, Tégwendé Rebeca Compaoré, Théodora Mahoukèdè Zohoncon, Jacques Simporé
Burkina Faso is a malaria-endemic country, with a high incidence of G6PD deficiency (G6PDd), which recorded its first case of COVID-19 in March 2020. G6PDd leads to a decrease in the efficiency of erythrocytes to combat oxidative stress, while SARS-CoV-2 infection induces massive production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in patients. In the(...)

Simultaneous Bilateral Femoral Fracture in Children
Somkieta Francis Modeste Ouédraogo, Malick Diallo1, W. Toussaint Tapsoba, Koundja Thiombiano, Isso Ouedraogo, Albert Wandaogo
Introduction: Bilateral femoral fractures in children (BFFC) are an uncommon condition. Only a few cases were reported in the literature. The frequency and outcome in low‑setting facilities are unknown. This study aims to describe our experience in managing BFFC. Patients and Methods: A 10‑year ongoing study spanning from 2010 to 2020 was held(...)

Background
Genetic alterations can result in DNA repair defects, increasing susceptibility to breast cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the involvement of two DNA repair genes, ERCC1 (rs3212986, GenBank NC_000073.9) and ERCC2 (rs1799793, rs13181, GenBank: NC_000019.10) in the occurrence of breast cancer in Burkina Faso.

Gratuité et relations soignants soignés au premier niveau de soins de la région du Centre (Ouagadougou)
Maurice Sarigda, Fidèle Yisso Bacyé, Augustin Palé
Au Burkina Faso, la barrière financière a souvent été indexée comme étant la cause de non utilisation des services de santé par les enfants de moins de 5 ans accentuant ainsi le risque de décès dans cette frange de la population. Une politique sociale d’exemption de paiement direct des soins au profit des enfants de moins de 5 ans est mise en(...)
