Preoperative mortality risk evaluation in abdominal surgical emergencies: development and internal validation of the NDAR score from a national multicenter audit in Senegal.

Introduction: Abdominal surgical emergencies have a high mortality rate. Effective management primarily relies on the early identification of patients at high risk of postoperative complications. The objective of our study was to determine the prognostic factors associated with poor outcomes from abdominal surgical emergencies in Senegal and to establish a predictive score for mortality for preoperative risk evaluation (NDAR (New Death Assessment Risk) score).

Prevalence and associated factors of schistosomiasis among pregnant women in northern Senegal.

Background: Schistosomiasis remains a public health concern worldwide. It is responsible for more than 240 million cases in 78 countries, 40 million of whom are women of childbearing age. In the Senegal River basin, both Schistosoma haematobium and Schistosoma mansoni are very prevalent in school-age children.

Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the kidney in southern Senegal (Ziguinchor): case report and review of the literature.

The kidney's primary squamous cell carcinoma is a rare tumor, representing 0.5-0.8% of malignant renal tumors and 4% of upper urinary tract tumors.

Colonic pseudotumors secondary to fishbone perforation are rare and not easily diagnosed, as the clinical presentation is often misleading. We report the case of a 61-year-old man patient with no medicalhistory, whose clinical picture was in favor of a colonic tumor. The diagnosis of colonic perforation by fishbone was not possible preoperatively due to lack of CT scan.

Unavoidable Risks: Local Perspectives on Water Contact Behavior and Implications for Schistosomiasis Control in an Agricultural Region of Northern Senegal.

Human schistosomiasis is a snail-borne parasitic disease affecting more than 200 million people worldwide. Direct contact with snail-infested freshwater is the primary route of exposure. Water management infrastructure, including dams and irrigation schemes, expands snail habitat, increasing the risk across the landscape.

Endometriosis is defined as the implantation of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity. It affects approximately 10% of women of childbearing age. Umbilical endometriosis is rare and its pathophysiology is poorly known.
