Background: Non-compliance in the drafting of examination bulletins makes it difficult to perform them and interpret the results. With the aim of continuously improving laboratory services and guaranteeing the quality of urine cytobacteriological examination (ECBU) results, we initiated this study to evaluate non-compliance in the drafting of ECBU reports.
Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study which focused on non-compliance in the drafting of ECBU reports analysed in the laboratory from January to December 2022.
Aim: The aim of this study was to establish the spermiological profile of patients treated for infertility at Sikasso Hospital.
Material And Methods: This was a prospective descriptive cross-sectional study, which took place from January to December 2022 at Sikasso Hospital. Interpretation of spermiological parameters was based on standards established by the World Health Organization in 2010.

Case Report: This is a type 2 diabetic patient, overweight and hypertensive, who consults in an emergency for a meningeal syndrome in a context of fever and cough, in whom laboratory and para-clinical investigations have concluded diagnosis of severe Sars cov2 pneumonia complicated by meningeal syndrome. Resuscitation under antibiotic therapy and immunosuppressant treatment associated with risk factor treatments led to a cure without serious complications.
Obesity is a pathophysiological condition where excess free fatty acids (FFA) target and promote the dysfunctioning of insulin sensitive tissues and of pancreatic β cells. This leads to the dysregulation of glucose homeostasis, which culminates in the onset of type 2 diabetes (T2D). FFA, which accumulate in these tissues, are metabolized as lipid derivatives such as ceramide, and the ectopic accumulation of the latter has been shown to lead to lipotoxicity.

Malaria, a major cause of child mortality in Africa, is engendered by Plasmodium parasites that are transmitted by anopheline mosquitoes. Fitness of Plasmodium parasites is closely linked to the ecology and evolution of its anopheline vector. However, whether the genetic structure of vector populations impacts malaria transmission remains unknown.
