Introduction: Tetanus still remains a public health problem in Togo despite the existence of the Expanded Program on Immunization.
Patients And Method: A retrospective and descriptive cohort study was performed from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2018 in the infectious and tropical diseases department of Sylvanus Olympio teaching hospital of Lome (Togo) on tetanus cases.
Results: We included 208 tetanus cases accounting for 6.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how often diabetic patients experience a rapid decline in kidney function in a hospital setting and identify related factors.
- A total of 80 patients were analyzed over one year, with findings showing that 35% had a rapid decline, primarily linked to a very high cardiovascular risk and glomerular filtration rate.
- The results highlighted a significant prevalence of high cardiovascular risk (82.5%) and renal risk (25%) among these patients, emphasizing the need for close monitoring and risk evaluation.
Background: We assessed whether a short training, effective in a high resource country, was able to improve the quality of face-mask ventilation (FMV) in a low resource setting.
Methods: Local healthcare providers at the Centre Médico-Social, Kouvè, Togo were asked to ventilate a neonatal leak-free manikin before (time-t1) and after (t2) a two-minute training session. Immediately after this section, a further two-minute training with participants aware of the data monitor was offered.
