Gastroenteritis is a public health problem in developing countries such as Burkina Faso. The introduction of the RotaShield rotavirus vaccine in the early 1980s had the side-effect of causing acute intestinal invaginations, which led to the introduction of surveillance. The aim of this study is to review the serotypes of rotavirus identified.(...)

Fruits of Prosopis chilensis and Tetrapleura tetraptera as an alternative against multi-resistant bacteria in lower respiratory tract infections
Jotham Yhi-pênê N’do, Dramane Paré, Issa Karama, Adama Hilou, Martin Kiendrébéogo
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacterium whose global spread poses a significant threat to human health due to its multidrug resistance (MDR). As a result, it is crucial to explore alternative treatments, particularly plant-based drugs, that are considered safe. The fruits of two plants, Tetrapleura tetraptera, and Prosopis chilensis, have been t(...)

Influence of Gradient Milling on Cooking and Sensory Attributes of Chinese Black Rice: Insights into Volatile Flavor Compounds
Shuxin Ye, Qing Gao, Danxia Shi, Abel Wend-Soo Zongo, Jinsong He, Bin Li
This study investigated the impact of gradient milling on the cooking properties and sensory characteristics of Yangxian black rice. The results showed that as the degree of milling increased, the gelatinization time decreased (36.85–23.54 min) and the water uptake ratio of whole black rice (188.29%) was significantly lower compared to that of(...)
