Antihypertensive, antihyperlipidemia and hepatoprotective activity of ethanolic extract of Moringa oleifera leaves
Somé A.A., Belemtougri R.G., Ngo LembaT.E., Obama P., Fouda Y., Aboubakaroumarou B.F., Dimo T.
The ethanolic extract of Moringa oleifera(EEM) prevented and exerted curative effect on high
acute blood pressure induced by L-NAME (10mg/kg). This acute curative effect of EEM (20mg/kg) in acute high blood pressure induced by L-NAME is transitory and reversible. In the subacute hypertension induced by L-NAME (40mg/kg), oral administration of(...)

Introduction Chikungunya is an arboviral disease characterized by acute osteoarticular manifestations with a risk of progression to chronicity. African data on post-chikungunya chronic arthralgia are scarce. This study aimed to identify factors associated with post-chikungunya chronic arthralgia in Burkina Faso. Patients and methods This was a(...)

WAYIYAN » OU QUAND LE PEUPLE DÉFEND LES « ILLÉGITIMES » DE LA DÉMOCRATIE « MODÈLE VOYAGEUR » AU BURKINA FASO
Yonli Taladi Narcisse et Ouattara Issa
Depuis le discours de la Baule, la démocratie s’est imposée comme un modèle politique dominant en Afrique, notamment au Burkina Faso. Toutefois, l’évolution politique du pays a montré une dynamique paradoxale entre attachement à l’ordre démocratique et soutien à des régimes issus de coups d’État. En 2014, une insurrection populaire a chassé Bl(...)

A Study of the Thermodynamic Characteristics of Air-Cl2-H2S Plasma in an Air Circuit Breaker
Yaguibou Wepari Charles, Derra Moumouni, Bado Nebon, Sawadogo Moumouni, Pafadnam Ibrahim, Kagone Abdoul Karim, Kohio Niessan and Koalaga Zacharie
The air circuit breaker (ACB) is a reliable protection device that uses ambient air to extinguish electric arcs and interrupt circuits. It is primarily employed in power distribution systems to secure circuits and equipment against overcurrents, short circuits, and faults. Operating in ambient air exposes the device to environmental stressors(...)

Enhancing Agronomic Efficiency of Pearl Millet through Integrated Laying Hen Manure and Mineral Fertilization in Burkina Faso’s Sudano-Sahelian Zone
Sory Aboubacar, Zongo Rodrigue Arnaud, Nana Rasmata and Sawadogo Alimata
The integration of organic and mineral fertilizers is increasingly recognized as a promising approach to enhance nutrient use efficiency (NUE) and improve the sustainability of cropping systems. The application of organic fertilizers, particularly poultry manure, constitutes a relevant strategy for restoring soil fertility. Such amendments sim(...)

Land- Use Effects on Melliferous Woody Flora in Sudanian Agroforestry Parkland and Protected Area of West Africa
Issaka Wendpanga Kanazoe, Issa Nombré, Adama Zoungrana, Joseph Issaka Boussim
Land-use intensification alters vegetation structure and composition, with potential consequences for pollinator-dependent ecosystems in tropical regions. However, the distribution and availability of melliferous woody flora across contrasting land use types in West Africa remain poorly studied. This study evaluated melliferous floristic compo(...)

Substitution of Fish Meal with Poultry Intestine Meal and Domestic Fly Larvae (Musca domestica) in the Diet of Juvenile Clarias gariepinus
Badioula Coulibaly1, Halidou Komi2, Armel Djerma3, Nessan Désiré Coulibaly4 & Moussa Zongo5
The use of fishmeal and fish oil as ingredients in fish feed increases production costs and has long-term environmental impacts. This study aims to investigate alternative protein sources to fishmeal in fish feed to reduce production costs. To achieve this, maggot meal and poultry intestine meal were incorporated into feed and administered to(...)

Internal Hernia through an Ovarian Cyst: Another Anatomical Particularity
Sawadogo Yamba Elie, Maïga Check Abdoul Fatao, Sam Aristide, Kambou Ollo, Ouédraogo Ida, Sanou Yves, Savadogo Julien, Kafando Roch, Ouangré Edgar
The authors describe a rare case of small-bowel obstruction caused by an internal hernia through a right ovarian cyst in a 52-year-old woman. Pre-operative CT suggested obstruction with a co-existing ovarian cyst, and laparotomy confirmed an incarcerated, perforated ileal loop that required wedge resection and cystectomy. The patient recovered(...)

Genetic variation within livestock populations underpins global food security, resilience, and the long-term sustainability of breeding programs. Despite its fundamental role, harmonized approaches for assessing and monitoring genetic variation across data sources remain limited. This review provides an integrated framework for assessing genet(...)
