Physicochemical, potential nutritional, antioxidant and health properties of sesame seed oil: a review.

Sesame ( L.) is one of the primary annual oilseeds grown in Africa and Asia. Sesame seed oil (SSO) is of great economic and human nutrition interest worldwide.

Prevalence and Diversity of the Thermotolerant Bacterium among Dried Food Products.

was found in all tested potato flakes but at loads lower than 10 CFU/g. was observed in other potato-containing products and in millet flour. isolates ( = 57) fell into six RAPD patterns and 11 plasmid profiles.

Prevention of mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission in Burkina Faso: evaluation of vertical transmission by PCR, molecular characterization of subtypes and determination of antiretroviral drugs resistance.

Background: Vertical human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission is a public health problem in Burkina Faso. The main objective of this study on the prevention of mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission was to determine the residual risk of HIV transmission in infants born to mothers receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Moreover, we detect HIV antiretroviral (ARV) drug resistance among mother-infant pairs and identify subtypes and circulating recombinant forms (CRF) in Burkina Faso.

Mother-to-Children Plasmodium falciparum Asymptomatic Malaria Transmission at Saint Camille Medical Centre in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

Background. Malaria's prevalence during pregnancy varies widely in parts of sub-Saharan Africa, including Burkina Faso. The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence of mother-to-child malaria transmission during childbirth at St.

Asymptomatic malaria correlates with anaemia in pregnant women at Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

Sub-Saharan Africa records each year about thirty-two million pregnant women living in areas of high transmission of Plasmodium falciparum causing malaria. The aim of this study was to carve out the prevalence of asymptomatic malaria among pregnant women and to emphasize its influence on haematological markers. The prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum asymptomatic infection among pregnant women was 30% and 24% with rapid detection test (RDT) and microscopy, respectively.

Effects of a cereal and soy dietary formula on rehabilitation of undernourished children at ouagadougou, in burkina faso.

The New Misola consists of millet soybean, peanut, vitamins, minerals, and industrial amylase. Our objective is to demonstrate that porridge made from local grains and legumes restores the nutritional balance of malnourished children. The study was carried on 304 malnourished children aged 6-48 months including 172 girls and 132 boys from Saint Camille Medical Centre.

Fatal intoxications by acenocoumarol, phenprocoumon and warfarin: method validation in blood using the total error approach.

A simple high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with ultraviolet (UV) detection has been developed and validated for simultaneous identification and quantification of three antivitamin K drugs (acenocoumarol, warfarin and phenprocoumon) in whole blood. The aim of this development was to propose an analytical technique adapted to the situations of forensic toxicology, i.e.
