Background: Senegal has made significant progress in reducing the burden of malaria, but transmission remains highly heterogeneous, with specific population subgroups likely at higher risk. Consultations with the National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) and a review of available data identified nomadic pastoralists, gold miners, and Koranic school students as potential high-risk populations (HRPs). This study aimed to evaluate whether these populations are at higher risk of malaria and better characterize their exposure patterns to inform the design of targeted intervention strategies.

Article Synopsis
  • The widespread use of pesticides necessitates effective monitoring of surface water quality, but traditional methods are complex, costly, and time-consuming.
  • The proposed solution involves a novel photoinduced fluorescence method paired with a lightweight database that simplifies pesticide identification by using combined spectra.
  • This system enables on-line monitoring and accurate identification of pesticides in surface water, making it accessible for untrained users and demonstrating promising analytical performance.

Anticoagulant-induced spontaneous small bowel hematoma is a rare cause of acute mechanical bowel obstruction. We report the case of a 77-year-old patient with complete arrhythmia due to atrial fibrillation under acenocoumarol 4mg daily who was seen for right iliac fossa pain. The laboratory tests showed a prothrombin rate (PT) of 12%, an International Normalized Ratio (INR) of 6, and an aPTT (activated partial thromboplastin time) of 43 seconds.
