Frequency and factors associated with focused antenatal care in Guinea: Analysis of the DHS 2018.

Background: In Guinea, despite women's recourse to antenatal care (ANC), little remains known about the use of focused antenatal care (FANC), contained in the ANC package.

Aim: The aim of this study was to analyse the frequency and factors associated with FANC, using data from the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) 2018.

Setting: This study was conducted in Guinea.

Flaviviruses manipulate mitochondrial processes to evade the innate immune response.

Mitochondria are essential eukaryotic organelles that regulate a range of cellular processes, from metabolism to calcium homeostasis and programmed cell death. They serve as essential platforms for antiviral signaling proteins during the innate immune response to viral infections. Mitochondria are dynamic structures, undergoing frequent fusion and fission processes that regulate various aspects of mitochondrial biology, including innate immunity.

The monthly trends of malaria cases in children under 5 years of age in Guinea: comparative analysis between a seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) and a non-SMC health district.

Background: The Republic of Guinea, where malaria represents the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children, the seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) is deployed only in areas with very seasonal modes of transmission. It should target children at the highest risk of serious illness. The objective of the study was to prevent uncomplicated and serious cases of malaria in the target population.

Health seeking behaviour associated with obstetric fistula care in Guinea: An analysis of the 2018 Demographic and Health survey.

This study aimed to analyze factors associated with obstetric fistula care-seeking behavior in Guinea, based on data from the 2018 Demographic and Health Survey. Women aged 15-49 years who reported having obstetric fistula constituted the study population, statistical analysis was using Stata 16.0 software.

[Contribution of CT scan and radio-histological concordance in the diagnosis of maxillomandibular tumors at the Dental University Hospital of BAMAKO].

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of computed tomography (CT) and its degree of concordance with pathological examination in the etiological diagnosis of maxillomandibulartumours.

Materials And Methods: Our study was cross-sectional, retrospective and prospective. It took place over a period of five years and six months and included cases of maxilla-mandibulartumours confirmed by pathological examination after clinical examination and CT scan.

Promoting Counter-Cyclical Fiscal Policy: Fiscal Rules Versus Institutions.

We explore under different exchange rate regimes how fiscal rules and institutions can reduce the procyclical stance of fiscal policy (i.e. how government spending responds to GDP fluctuations).

Secondary plant metabolites as potent drug candidates against antimicrobial-resistant pathogens.

Antibiotic resistance is a major public health threat of the twenty-first century and represents an important risk to the global economy. Healthcare-associated infections mainly caused by drug-resistant bacteria are wreaking havoc in patient care worldwide. The spread of such pathogens limits the utility of available drugs and complicates the treatment of bacterial diseases.

Emergence of Clinical Clostridioides difficile Isolates With Decreased Susceptibility to Vancomycin.

Background: Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is a leading cause of hospital-associated antibiotic-related diarrhea and deaths worldwide. Vancomycin is one of the few antibiotics recommended for both nonsevere and severe CDI cases. We sought to determine whether vancomycin nonsusceptible C.

[Strokein type 2 diabetic patients in the internal medicine department of the Teaching Hospital of Point G].

Introduction: Diabetes is a chronic hyperglycemia which can be discovered with specific organic complications particularly affecting the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and vessels. Globally, the prevalence of stroke in people with diabetes is approximately 10%.

Objective: Study the epidemiological and clinical aspects of stroke in patients with type 2 diabetes.

High-throughput detection of eukaryotic parasites and arboviruses in mosquitoes.

Vector-borne pathogens cause many human infectious diseases and are responsible for high mortality and morbidity throughout the world. They can also cause livestock epidemics with dramatic social and economic consequences. Due to its high costs, vector-borne disease surveillance is often limited to current threats, and the investigation of emerging pathogens typically occurs after the reports of clinical cases.

Combined Epidemiologic and Entomologic Survey to Detect Urban Malaria Transmission, Guinea, 2018.

Malaria incidence is generally lower in cities than rural areas. However, reported urban malaria incidence may not accurately reflect the level of ongoing transmission, which has potentially large implications for prevention efforts. To guide mosquito net distribution, we assessed the extent of malaria transmission in Conakry, Guinea, in 2018.

Introduction: Diabetes is a chronic hyperglycemia which can be discovered with specific organic complications particularly affecting the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and vessels. Globally, the prevalence of stroke in people with diabetes is approximately 10%.

Objective: Study the epidemiological and clinical aspects of stroke in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Relative contributions of various endogenous and exogenous factors to the mosquito microbiota.

Background: The commensal microbiota of mosquitoes impacts their development, immunity, and competency, and could provide a target for alternative entomological control approaches. However, despite the importance of the mosquito/microbiota interactions, little is known about the relative contribution of endogenous and exogenous factors in shaping the bacterial communities of mosquitoes.

Methods: We used a high-throughput sequencing-based assay to characterize the bacterial composition and diversity of 665 individual field-caught mosquitoes, as well as their species, genotype at an insecticide resistance locus, blood-meal composition, and the eukaryotic parasites and viruses they carry.

Pesticides Decrease Bacterial Diversity and Abundance of Irrigated Rice Fields.

Bacteria play an important role in soil ecosystems and their activities are crucial in nutrient composition and recycling. Pesticides are extensively used in agriculture to control pests and improve yield. However, increased use of pesticides on agricultural lands results in soil contamination, which could have adverse effect on its bacterial communities.

[Surgical site infections at Bocar Sidy Sall University Hospital Center of Kati].

Introduction: Surgical site infections (SSI) are frequent and dangerous in the surgical ward. They represent an obsession for the surgeon. The objectives were to determine the frequency of ISOs and risk factors, to identify the germs and to study their sensitivity to different antibiotics.

Novel strains in malaria vectors from Sub-Saharan Africa.

, a common insect endosymbiotic bacterium that can influence pathogen transmission and manipulate host reproduction, has historically been considered absent from the  genera, but has recently been found in  s.l. populations in West Africa.

Rapid Epidemiological and Entomological Survey for Validation of Reported Indicators and Characterization of Local Malaria Transmission in Guinea, 2017.

To confirm and investigate possible explanations for unusual trends in malaria indicators, a protocol for rapid, focal assessment of malaria transmission and control interventions was piloted in N'Zérékoré and Macenta Prefectures, which each reported surprisingly low incidence of malaria during the peak transmission months during 2017 in holoendemic Forested Guinea. In each prefecture, epidemiological and entomological cross-sectional surveys were conducted in two sub-prefectures reporting high incidence and one sub-prefecture reporting low incidence. Investigators visited six health facilities and 356 households, tested 476 children, performed 14 larval breeding site transects, and conducted 12 nights of human landing catches during the 2-week investigation.

Open wounds of the Achilles tendon in tropical settings: 36 cases at the Donka University Hospital in Guinea Conakry.

The aim of this study was to analyze the epidemiologic, etiologic, and therapeutic aspects of open wounds of the Achilles tendon managed in the Donka University Hospital. This 3-year prospective included all patients admitted for an Achilles tendon injury. Closed injuries, suppurating wounds, and those that occurred more than 24 hours before admission were excluded.
