Congenital Malaria and Its Associated Factors at Issaka Gazobi Maternity of Niamey in Niger.

Background: Congenital malaria is a serious and common infection in tropical Africa. It has multiple consequences on the newborn and the mother.

Objective: The objective of this study is to calculate the prevalence of congenital malaria, describe its clinical signs, and analyze its associated factors.

Intra-individual variability in clopidogrel responsiveness in coronary artery disease patients under long term therapy.

Clopidogrel responsiveness (CR) following a loading dose (LD) predicts thrombotic events after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Some of the mechanisms involved in large inter-individual variability in CR may be varied. We therefore postulated that there may be an intra-individual variability in CR.
