Article Synopsis
- Lung ultrasound is an effective non-invasive tool for assessing lung injury in critically ill COVID-19 patients, especially in low-income settings like Mali.
- A study involving 156 patients showed that most had respiratory failure, with high feasibility and reproducibility in the ultrasound assessments.
- Findings revealed a significant correlation between lung ultrasound scores and oxygen levels, with higher scores linked to increased mortality, emphasizing the method's value in critical care decisions.

Host immunity has been suggested to clear drug-resistant parasites in malaria-endemic settings. However, the immunogenetic mechanisms involved in parasite clearance are poorly understood. Characterizing the host's immunity and genes involved in controlling the parasitic infection can inform the development of blood-stage malaria vaccines.

Introduction: Cervical cancer screening coverage rate is <5% in Sub-Saharan Africa and <2% in French- speaking African countries. In 2016, we implemented strategies to improve cervical cancer screening in Bamako, the "Weekend70 program". The present study objectives are to determine the effect of this program on women's participation in cervical cancer screening in Bamako, and to estimate the cervical cancer screening coverage rate in Bamako.
