Rationale: Uterine carcinosarcomas (UCS) are rare aggressive biphasic tumors classified as a subtype of high-grade uterine carcinomas. However, these tumors have particular histopathological features and clinical behavior with worse prognosis than high-grade uterine carcinomas.
Patient Concerns: The incidence of UCS is increasing and more studies are required to elucidate their clinical and histopathological characteristics.
Introduction: Tele-expertise in dermatology represents an opportunity to change medical practice in response to the need for cost savings in the health sector. The aim of this study was to evaluate the medical activities of the pilot phase of the tele-expertise project in Togo.
Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in October 2020 on the 20 sites of the pilot phase.
Introduction: Skin neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), are endemic and under-diagnosed in many lower-income communities. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of skin NTDs and fungal infections in two primary schools and a community setting in rural Togo.
Method: This was a cross-sectional study that took place between June-October 2021.
Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with skin cancers in people with albinism (PWA) in Togo.
Method: This is a retrospective analytical study of the records of PWA examined during five dermatological consultation campaigns from 2019 to 2021.
Results: During the study period, 517 PWA were seen.
Background: In people with albinism (PWA), the deficiency of melanin increase the risk of skin cancers. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of skin cancers and characteristics of these detected skin cancers (histological types, localization) in PWA in 10 cities in Togo in 2019.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of medical records of PWA systematically examined during two mobile skin care clinics in 2019, as part of a programme for the prevention and management of skin cancers in these subjects.
Objective: The aim of this case-control study was to look for an association between hypertension and acne keloidalis nuchae (AKN) in black subjects.
Results: We recruited 303 consenting subjects comprising 101 patients with AKN and 202 controls, case-matched by age (± 5 years). The mean patients age was 34.
Objective: The aim of this study was to study the histopathological patterns of skin lesions in persons with albinism (PWA) in Togo in 2019.
Method: During two mobile skin care clinics in 2019, biopsies/excisional biopsies were performed in PWA in case of clinical doubt or in front of lesions suspected to be cancerous for histological examination. Anatomopathological reports were thus analysed.
Background: People with albinism (PWA) are targets of prejudice and social exclusion and have limited access to specialized medical care and resources. Our study aimed to describe the epidemiological and dermatological profile of PWA in Togo.
Method: We carried out a cross-sectional study of 294 medical records of PWA systematically examined during two mobile skin care clinics in 2019.
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess ocular and mucocutaneous sequelae among SJS/TEN survivors and identify risk factors of ocular sequelae.
Patients And Method: Late complications among SJS/TEN survivors were assessed using 2 methods: a retrospective assessment of medical records only or a retrospective assessment of medical records and physical examination of survivors who were contacted by phone.
Results: Between January 1995 and December 2017, 177 cases of SJS/TEN (138 cases of SJS, 29 cases of TEN, and 10 cases SJS/TEN overlap) were admitted into two university hospitals of Lomé (Togo).
Background: Acne is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the pilosebaceous follicle that mainly affects adolescents and young adults. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life (QOL) of patients with acne, and to determine the correlation between the QOL and the severity of acne, in Lomé (Togo).
Method: From July 2017 to February 2018, we conducted a study in three dermatology departments of Lomé.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of and factors associated with self-medication in dermatology in Lomé, Togo.
Methods: We conducted an analytical cross-sectional study from February to April 2016 in 2 dermatology departments in Lomé. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were carried out to identify possible factors associated with self-medication.
Basidiobolomycosis Simulating a Infection in a Togolese Rural Child.
Case Rep Dermatol Med
October 2017
Background: Basidiobolomycosis is a deep mycosis which preferentially affects rural young people in tropical countries. We report an atypical case, with multiple ulcers, simulating a Buruli ulcer.
Case Report: A 5-year-old boy, living in a rural area, was seen for ulcers on the buttocks and at the back and right flank that had been in progress for 4 months.
An echographic study of follicular growth up to ovulation was carried out on 42 lactating Azawak cows (Bos indicus) after estrus induction by means of a PGF2α or a procedure involving the administration of progesterone vaginally (PRID® DELTA: progesterone-releasing intravaginal device) for a 10-day period and the injection of a PGF2α and an ECG (400 and 800 IU) on withdrawal. All the animals were inseminated 12 and 24 h after the onset of estrus. The percentage of estrus induced was not significantly different between the two groups of animals (81 %).
