[Predictors Of Early Mortality During Hospitalization Of Severe Acute Malnourished Children Aged 0-59 Months At CHU Sourô SANOU, Bobo-Dioulasso].

Objectives: to study risk factors for mortality in SAM children within the first 72 hours of hospitalization.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study on data from 0-59-month-old SAM children hospitalized from June 1th, 2016, to May 31th, 2019, at CHUSourô Sanou of Bobo-Dioulasso. A logistic regression was performed to determine risk factors for death.

Potential Performance of Two New RT-PCR and RT-qPCR Methods for Multiplex Detection of Dengue Virus Serotypes 1-4 and Chikungunya Virus in Mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes of the genus are the most important arthropod disease vector. Dengue virus (DENV) and Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) are the main arboviruses distributed throughout the world. Based on entomo-virological surveillance, appropriate public health strategies can be adopted to contain cases and control outbreaks.

Development of Multiplex Molecular Assays for Simultaneous Detection of Dengue Serotypes and Chikungunya Virus for Arbovirus Surveillance.

The major arboviruses mainly belong to the , , and families, among which the chikungunya virus and dengue virus have emerged as global public health problems. The main objective of this study was to develop specific, sensitive, and cost-effective molecular multiplex RT-PCR and RT-qPCR assays for the rapid and simultaneous detection of CHIKV and the four serotypes of DENV for arbovirus surveillance. Specific primers for all viruses were designed, and one-step multiplex RT-PCR (mRT-PCR) and RT-qPCR (mRT-qPCR) were developed using reference strains of the CHIKV and DENV serotypes.

[Adverse events following immunization reported with COVID-19 vaccines in Burkina Faso: Analysis of spontaneous reports].

The rapid deployment of COVID-19 vaccines to a large proportion of the population requires a focus on safety. However, few studies have assessed the safety of COVID-19 vaccines in Africa. In Burkina Faso, this issue has not yet been addressed.

[High incidence of asymptomatic myocardial ischemia in a population of HIV-infected patients in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso].

Introduction: cardiovascular complications have become the 3 cause of death and the 4 reason for hospitalization in HIV-infected patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of asymptomatic myocardial ischemia in HIV-infected patients on antiretroviral therapy.

Methods: we conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study in November 2015.

[Abdominal tuberculosis: contribution of ultrasonographyin the diagnosis and problematic of treatment in a country of sub-Saharan African].

Objective: To determine the contribution of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis (TB) in HIV- infected children at the University TeachingHospital Sourô-Sanou of Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso.

Methods: In children infected with HIV and suspected to develop tuberculosis (TB) on the basis of epidemiological and clinical evidence, the following were performed at inclusion, at 2, 6, and 9 months of follow-up: a chest x-ray and abdominal ultrasound. A bacteriological investigation of the Koch bacillus (BK) was made.

[Electrocardiography coupled with transthoracic echocardiography at rest in the diagnosis of cardiac impairments in type 2 diabetics: lessons learned from a cross-sectional case series in Burkina Faso].

Diabetes is a powerful independent cardiovascular risk factor. The aim of this study is to describe the electrocardiographic and echocardiographic abnormalities observed in patients with type 2 diabetes treated in the Department of Medicine at the University Hospital in Bobo-Dioulasso. We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study of all patients with type 2 diabetes who gave consent from April to September 2014.

[High performance athlete's heart: Results of a cross-sectional survey conducted in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso].

Purpose Of The Study: To describe the clinical, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic features of the athlete's heart.

Patients And Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted from August 2015 to February 2016 in the city of Bobo-Dioulasso in Burkina Faso. Athletes of high level of training (at least 8hours of weekly training, for more than six months regardless of the type of sport) have benefited from: a clinical examination, an electrocardiography and a cardiac ultrasound rest to look for electrical, morphological and functional cardiac changes.

[Cardiopathies in children hospitalized at the University hospital Souro Sanou, Bobo-Dioulasso: echocardiographic and therapeutic aspects].

Children's heart diseases in Africa represent a public health problem that is difficult to cope with due to young population density, low socioeconomic status and lack of suitable technical platforms. This study aims to highlight the echocardiographic and therapeutic aspects of cardiopathies in children hospitalized at the pediatric department of the University Hospital Souro Sanou, Bobo-Dioulasso. We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study over the period January 2013-December 2014 (24 months).
