Ethanol is a psychoactive substance. Its abuse has health, regulatory and medico-legal consequences. Consequently, the
determination of blood alcohol concentration (BAC) necessitates a highly sensitive and robust analytical procedure. To address
this necessity, the National Agency for Health, Environmental, Food, Labor, and Health Product Sa(...)

Infant-level and child-level predictors of mortality in low- resource settings: the WHO Child Mortality Risk Stratification Multi-Country Pooled Cohort

Background Despite impressive reductions in overall global child mortality, the rate of decline has slowed during the past decade. Current guidelines for the care of paediatric patients in low-resource settings mostly focus on broad clinical syndromes or undernutrition rather than children’s individual contextualised risk. We aimed to identify(...)

Locals’ perceptions of the conservation status and socio-cultural factors determining the consent for cultivation of Vitex doniana Sweet, a threatened species in Burkina Faso
Hamadé Tidjani Guindé, Prospère Sabo, Bassiaka Ouattara, Ounyambila Lompo, Amadé Ouédraogo
Vitex doniana Sweet is a socio-economically important agroforestry species in Africa. However, the species is threatened by overexploitation, the degradation of its natural habitats, and the climate pejoration. Understanding the socio-cultural factors that influence local perceptions of species status and influence decisions about its conserva(...)

Despite the efforts to prevent vertical transmission of HIV, about 130 000 children worldwide acquire HIV each year, and 40% of those remain undiagnosed. Many factors contribute to this poor outcome including, but not limited to, failure to identify mothers seroconverting during pregnancy or postpartum, suboptimal early infant diagnosis, misin(...)

Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a hole in the wall that divides the upper chambers of the heart. It may close spontaneously
or require closure. Historical approach was operative closure by a full sternotomy. Currently, the gold standard approach
is the device closure. When this approach is not available or is not indicated, the alternative is(...)

Twin Births in 42 Sub-Saharan African Countries from 1986 to 2016: Frequency, Trends and Factors of Variation
Adama Ouedraogo, Gilles, Sophie le Coeur and Abdramane B. Soura
Since the 1970s, twin birth rates have increased sharply in developed countries. In Africa, where the rate is the highest globally, its evolution
and variation are poorly understood. This article aims to estimate the twinning rate in sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries throughout
1986–2016 and analyze its spatial, temporal, and ethnic variat(...)

The assessment of the nutritional status of the hospitalized person is often considered secondary to the pathologies justifying hospitalization. A multicenter study conducted in six Belgian hospitals showed a risk of malnutrition in just over one in five patients. This malnutrition during hospitalization is more frequent in the elderly and tho(...)

Numerical analysis of a quasilinear parabolic problem with variable exponent
N. Rabo, U. Traoré, S. Ouaro
This paper deals with the numerical approximation of the mild solution of a quasilinear parabolic equation with variable exponent. Under some conditions, it is shown that the mild solution is a weak solution. Numerical tests are performed using the split Bregman method. The functional setting involves Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces with variable(...)
