Abstract
Stroke in women may be considered as a distinct entity due to numerous differences compared with men, including specific epidemiological, etiological, and outcome features along with unique pathophysiological mechanisms. Stroke is the second cause of death in women worldwide with sex-specific causes of stroke in youger women such as pregnancy, post-partum period, oral contraception and migraine. Substitutive hormone treatment in older women is no more recommended in regard of the increased thromboembolic risk it generates. Venous thrombolysis with rtPA and mechanical thrombectomy are now proven to be as efficacious in women as in men. After a stroke, women present poorer quality of life than men attributable to age, more severe stroke, pre-stroke dependency and depression. Recent data concerning the latest epidemiological surveys reveal a shift in trends with the rise of incidence of strokes in young women (≤55 years and 64 years) contrasting with the stability of incidence rates in older women. As science is unvealing sex-related differences in cardiovascular disorders, health policies need to be adapted accordingly to improve stroke prevention and pre-stroke health in women. In the meantime, therapeutical trials should include more women in order to be able to formulate adequate management.

Detection of kdr and ace-1 mutations in wild populations of Anopheles arabiensis and An. melas in a residual malaria transmission area of Senegal. PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2021; 173:104783. [PMID: 33771262 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2021.104783] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2020] [Revised: 01/06/2021] [Accepted: 01/11/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
In the central western Senegal, malaria transmission has been reduced low due to the combination of several effective control interventions. However, despite this encouraging achievement, residual malaria transmission still occurring in few areas, mainly ensured by An. arabiensis and An. melas. The resurgence or the persistence of the disease may have originated from the increase and the spread of insecticide resistance genes among natural malaria vectors populations. Therefore, assessing the status and mechanisms of insecticides resistance among targeted malaria vectors is of highest importance to better characterize factors underlying the residual transmission where it occurs. Malaria vectors were collected from three selected villages using nocturnal human landing catches (HLC) and pyrethrum spray collections (PSC) methods. An. gambiae s.l. specimens were identified at the species level then genotyped for the presence of kdr-west (L1014F), kdr-east (L1014S) and ace-1R mutations by qPCR. An. arabiensis (69.36%) and An. melas (27.99%) were the most common species of the Gambiae complex in the study area. Among An. arabiensis population, the allelic frequency of the kdr-east (22.66%) was relatively higher than for kdr-west mutation (9.96%). While for An. melas populations, the overall frequencies of both mutations were very low, being respectively 1.12% and 0.40% for the L1014S and L1014F mutations. With a global frequency of 2%, only the heterozygous form of the G119S mutation was found only in An. arabiensis and in all the study sites. The widespread occurrence of the kdr mutation in both An. arabiensis and An. melas natural populations, respectively the main and focal vectors in the central-western Senegal, may have contributed to maintaining malaria transmission in the area. Thus, compromising the effectiveness of pyrethroids-based vector control measures and the National Elimination Goal. Therefore, monitoring and managing properly insecticide resistance became a key programmatic intervention to achieve the elimination goal where feasible, as aimed by Senegal. Noteworthy, this is the first report of the ace-1 mutation in natural populations of An. arabiensis from Senegal, which need to be closely monitored to preserve one of the essential insecticide classes used in IRS to control the pyrethroids-resistant populations.

Abstract
Background: Mucocele is a benign cystic pseudo-tumor that develops within the sinus cavities. The most frequent locations are frontal and frontoethmoidal. The sphenoidal forms are rare. We report a case of sphenoidal mucocele revealed by bilateral exophthalmos. Methods and results: We report the case of a 14 year old male patient, without any particular pathological history, referred by his ophthalmologist for bilateral nasal obstruction, bilateral exophthalmos and visual acuity decrease evolving since one year. The ENT examination found a large, renitrant mass, filling the entire right nasal cavity. This mass pushed the nasal septum to the left. The CT scan showed a large sphenoidal, hypodense mass evoking a mucocele. The patient underwent endonasal marsupialization by endoscopic guidance. Conclusions: Sphenoidal mucocele is a rare cause of bilateral exophthalmos. The diagnosis can be misplaced when the signs are overt extra-sinus. Hence the interest of CT in order to eliminate other differential dignostics.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Locoregional complications of sinusitis are dominated by oculo-orbital and/or cranioencephalic manifestations that may be life-threatening or jeopardize functional prognosis. The aim of this study was to report epidemiological, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study included inpatients managed for sinusitis complications in the ENT and neurosurgery departments of the Fann university hospital center in Dakar, Senegal between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2016. RESULTS In all, 80 files were collected. Mean age was 18.5 years, with male predominance. Mean time to treatment was 18.2 days. Cranio-encephalic complications were the most frequent (54 cases; 67.5%): mainly subdural empyema (30 cases) and brain abscess (10 cases). Seventeen patients (21.25%) had oculo-orbital complications: mainly orbital cellulitis (52.9%) and preseptal cellulitis (29.4%). Nine patients (11.25%) had both cranioencephalic and oculo-orbital complications. Acute sinusitis (82.5%) was the main cause of complications. 52.5% of patients showed pansinus involvement. Medical treatment consisted in broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy combining third-generation cephalosporins, metronidazole and gentamycin in cranio-encephalic complications and clavulanic acid and metronidazole in oculo-orbital complications. Thirty-four patients (42.5%) underwent surgical sinus drainage. Neurosurgical drainage was performed in 35 cases (43.75%). Post-treatment course was marked by 6.25% mortality (5 cases) and 16.25% sequelae. CONCLUSION With 6.25% mortality and a high rate of functional sequelae, complications of sinusitis are a serious concern in our region. Improving prognosis requires earlier management and better coordination between health professionals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malaria surveillance requires powerful tools and strategies to achieve malaria elimination. Rapid diagnostic tests for malaria (RDTs) are easily deployed on a large scale and are helpful sources of parasite DNA. The application of sensitive molecular techniques to these RDTs is a modern tool for improving malaria case detection and drug resistance surveillance. Several studies have made it possible to extract the DNA of Plasmodium falciparum from RDTs. The knowledge of gametocyte carriage in the population is important to better assess the level of parasite transmission in elimination settings. The aim of this study was to detect P. falciparum gametocytes from used RDTs by quantitative PCR for molecular monitoring of malaria transmission. METHODS DNA was extracted from 303 RDT devices (SD Bioline Malaria Pf) using the Chelex-100 protocol. qPCR was performed in a 20 μL reaction to detect and quantify transcripts of the pfs25 gene. The cycle threshold (Ct) was determined by the emission fluorescence corresponding to the initial amount of amplified DNA. RESULTS The study found an overall prevalence of 53.47% with an average Ct of 32.12 ± 4.28 cycles. In 2018, the prevalence of gametocytes was higher in the Ranérou district (76.24%) than in the Saint-Louis district (67.33%) where an increase in the number of gametocyte carriers in 2018 was noted, in comparison with 2017. CONCLUSIONS RDTs are a good source of DNA for molecular monitoring of gametocyte carriage. This method is a simple and effective tool to better understand the level of malaria transmission with a view to elimination.

Abstract
Strokes can significantly affect the autonomy and the ability of the patient to feed properly. Malnutrition after strokes increases the length of stay in hospital, increases mortality and aggravates disability. Nutritional support is a therapeutic that can be useful in the management of strokes and during the rehabilitation period. It may help to reduce the occurrence of complications due to the physical dependence associated with this condition. The objective of our study was to evaluate, through a questionnaire, the opinion of prescribing doctors working in the Department of Neurology of The FANN National Teaching Hospital in Dakar. The interest of the question resides in the fact that the Center does not have a dedicated nutritionist for inpatients. This was an opinion poll about their concerns about the nutritional status of patients in the therapeutic projects they propose during the stroke. The type of the chosen opinion poll was elementary, type random. The questionnaire was individual and consisted of five items of single-response and multiple-choice questions. The results of this study reveal that while the nutritional status of patients with limited autonomy in the service was a concern in the intentions of the prescribers, in practice it was not taken into account in therapeutic projects. To date, no structured protocol is available in cases of proven nutritional deterioration in patients. Nutritional management must be integrated into the overall management of Neurology patients, particularly in elderly victims of strokes.

Abstract
Tuberculosis is an endemic disease in Senegal. Cutaneous forms are rare and are characterized by their clinical polymorphism. They account for 2% of the extrapulmonary locations of tuberculosis [1, 2]. We report an observation of a tuberculous gumma of the buttock that led to the discovery of an active pulmonary localization in an immunocompetent adult. A 47-year-old man was admitted for a painful swelling of the right buttock that had been developing for four years. The physical examination noted an indurated, multinodular, and polyfistulized plaque, with confluent yellowish pus emission, on the inferomedial face of the right buttock, associated with bilateral inguinal lymphadenopathy. Cutaneous tuberculosis was found in the histology, which showed TB granuloma, and the gastric tube fluid was positive for acid-fast bacilli. Thoracoabdominopelvic CT showed multiple basal acinar micronodules in both lungs. Serology was negative for both HIV and HBV. All signs of tuberculosis disappeared after six months of treatment. In endemic zones, cutaneous tuberculosis is characterized by its clinical polymorphism. It must also be looked for in any perineal abscess. Early management greatly improves the prognosis.

Abstract
Hydatidosis, an anthropozoonosis caused by the development of the Echinococcus granulosus larva in human, is a parasitic infection that is endemic in many countries. Pericardial localization in the absence of other cardiac involvement is extremely rare. Its spontaneous evolution is serious because of the risk of rupture. We report the case of a 65-year-old patient, who received limb edema that had been going on for 4 months, and in whom the physical examination noted a 3/6 tricuspid regurgitation and a right heart failure syndrome. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed an intra-pericardial mass whose contents appeared fluid with hyperechogenic area. It measured 86x61 mm and significantly compressed the straight cavities. Thoracic computed tomography showed an appearance in favor of an aged intrapericardic hydatid cyst (GHARBI V) with mass effect on the right cavities. The hydatid serology was negative. The patient did not accept the surgical cure. She had been put on albendazole and diuretic treatment. Fatal outcome was reported after two-month follow-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE to report the indications and the results of the upper urinary tract by endoscopic route by a double J probe in our Center. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a retrospective mono-centric descriptive study from January 1st 2018 to June 30th 2019 including all patients that had a JJ stent as a type of upperurinary tract diversion. RESULTS seventy four patients were included. The average age of patients was 43.6 ± 17.5 years. The sex-ratio was 0.6. The obstructive renal colic was the most common operative indication in 62.1% (46) of patients. The etiologies were dominated by urolithiasis with 39.1% (29) of patients. Anesthesia was general in 67.5% (50) and locoregional in 32.5% of patients (24). The procedure was performed without fluoroscopic control (blind) in 66.2% of cases(49), therewere 89.7% case of success (44 patients). The success rate was 86.5% (64) patients and the failure rate 13.5% (10) of patients. Five (6.7%) patients had a postoperative acute pyelonephritis complication requiringremoval of the JJ stent. CONCLUSION The rise of the double J probe made possible to prepare the ureter, thus facilitating the endoscopic treatment of urinary lithiasis. The complication rate observed in our patients was low. The compliance with the rules of asepsis could reduce these complications.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND
Glioblastoma is the most common primary brain tumor. Its prognosis remains poor even with the standard treatment - the Stupp protocol.The classic Warburg effect in cancers leads to increased glycolysis which causes acidification of the tumor environment. This phenomenon may favor migration of tumor cells as already reported in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. We therefore hypothesized that enhanced glycolysis in glioblastomas could favor the tumor cell migration.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
We measured glycolysis by the extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) of several human glioblastomas cell lines (LN229, LN18, T98-G, U87-MG, U373-MG, U118-MG) with the Seahorse Analyzer. To confirm these results, we also measured the intracellular cAMP rates using the Cayman’s Elisa kit and we analyzed by RT-PCR the expression of the main genes coding for enzymes involved in glycolysis in these glioblastomas cell lines. Cell migration was measured with a scratch wound healing assay during 24 hours.
RESULTS
U118-MG was the glioblastoma cell line with the highest glycolysis rate, the highest production of cAMP and showed a strong expression of glycolysis-associated genes. LN229 was the glioblastoma cell line with the less important glycolysis rate, the lower production of cAMP and showed a weaker expression of glycolysis-associated genes. According to the scratch wound healing assay, U118-MG cells showed a more important migration than LN229 cells at 24 hours.
CONCLUSION
Glycolysis may be an attractive target to prevent effectively tumor cell migration in glioblastomas. Coupling the evaluation of glycolysis with histomolecular characterization of glioblastomas, could help to identify patients to whom adjuvant therapies that inhibit glycolysis such as fenofibrate could be proposed.

Abstract
Vascular variations are common. A cervicofacial anatomical dissection carried out at the anatomy laboratory allowed us to document a rare vascular variation. The facial artery did not give rise to branches that led to the submandibular gland; an artery arising directly from the external carotid artery vascularized the submandibular gland and gave rise to the ascending palatine artery that led to the maxilla. We did not find cases in the literature where an artery emanated directly from the external carotid artery to vascularize the submandibular gland and that gave rise to an ascending palatine artery leading to the maxilla. Knowledge of the variations of the arterial vascularisation of the submandibular gland is important for submandibulectomies and transfers of the gland.

Abstract
Laryngeal tuberculosis (LT) is a rare disease. The therapy for LT is easy but the diagnosis remains a challenge for the pathologist and the laryngologist because of the absence of specific signs. The objective was to analyze the epidemiological and pathological profiles of LT cases in Dakar (Senegal) with a view to better understand this pathology. This study was a retrospective and descriptive of LT cases diagnosed in pathology laboratories in Senegal during five years (2011-2015). The LT was found in 9 cases. The mean age at diagnosis was 41.9 years (18/58) without sex predominance (sex-ratio = 0.8). Tobacco intoxication (3/9), tuberculosis contagion (1/9), HIV immunodepression (2/9), and diabetes (1/9) were the various risk factors found. Dysphonia was a constant symptom (9/9) associated with dysphagia (2/9) and cervical adenopathy (1/9). The macroscopic presentation was tumoral-like (7/9) and erythematosus and fibrinoid (2/9). The LT was of glottic seat in all the cases (9/9) with participation on top-glottic in two of the cases. The biopsy was performed in all patients. It reported tuberculous granuloma in four cases (4/9), tuberculoid granuloma in one case (1/9), and chronic lymphocytic laryngitis in four cases (4/9). CT-scan of the lungs was pathological in five patients (5/9). Evolution was favorable in all cases under "conventional tuberculosis treatment" over a period of six months. The diagnosis of LT requires a high collaboration between the laryngologist and the pathologist.

Abstract
Neuro-Behçet (NB) African studies are mainly North African, but Sub-Saharan Africa is not to be outdone. Our aim was to describe diagnostic and therapeutic features of NB in a Senegalese series collected in Dakar. This was a descriptive and retrospective study conducted at the Neurology department of Fann Teaching Hospital in Dakar, Senegal. All patients who met the NB's diagnostic criteria were included. Sixteen patients were collected, 14 males and 2 females with an average age of 40 years [18-71]. The main neurological signs were motor deficit (13 cases), headache (10 cases), and language disorders (4 cases). Extra-neurological signs were dermatological (14 cases), ocular (2 cases), and articular (2 cases) with aseptic unilateral gonarthritis. Fever was present in 9 patients. Neurological involvement was mostly isolated parenchymal (8 cases) or mixed (6 cases). The main clinical forms of NB were rhombencephalitis (8 cases) and retrobulbar optic neuritis (4 cases). Seven patients had a cerebral angio-Behçet with cerebral venous thrombosis (3 cases), ischemic stroke (2 cases), and intracerebral hematoma (2 cases). Under prednisone (16 cases) and azathioprine (3 cases), the short-term clinical outcome was mostly favorable (14 cases) with a modified Rankin scale at 2. NB is an under-diagnosed adult male disease in Sub-Saharan Africa and further studies are needed.

MALDI-TOF MS identification of Malassezia species isolated from patients with pityriasis versicolor at the seafarers' medical service in Dakar, Senegal. J Mycol Med 2018; 28:590-593. [PMID: 30340859 DOI: 10.1016/j.mycmed.2018.09.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2018] [Revised: 09/04/2018] [Accepted: 09/28/2018] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
Pityriasis versicolor (PV) is a superficial mycosis caused by yeast of the genus Malassezia. The most common isolated Malassezia species in PV lesions differ among M. furfur, M. globosa and M. sympodialis. We purpose to determine the distribution of Malassezia species in PV patients at the seafarers' medical service in Dakar, Senegal and to examine whether any association between identified Malassezia species and patients' profile. From May 2017 to August 2017, first a questionnaire was filled to get informative data before collection of skin scrapings taken from most scaly site using sterile scalpel blade and application of scotch® for direct examination (DE). At the laboratory, DE, culture and identification by MALDI-TOF MS were done. One hundred patients with PV - all men - were included with a mean age of 34 years. Among seafarers, 81% were sailors. Clinical prevalence of PV was highest in aged adults patients with ages of 31 to 60 years (56%). Seafarers with high level of education were less representative with only 2%. The mean duration of the PV was 26.83 months. 20% of subjects suffered lesions in more than one location. The chest was the most affected anatomical site. Furthermore, possible predisposing factors associated with PV were also detected. DE was positive in 95% but culture growth only in 46%. MALDI-TOF MS analysis of the positive cultures could be performed in 84.8% (39/46). Only M. furfur was identified in 100% (39/39). In definitive, M. furfur is the only causative agent of PV in Dakar.

Arch Pediatr 2018; 25:351-354.

Abstract
Etiological factors of childhood ischemic stroke depend on the epidemiological context. The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors, the clinical and radiologic features, and the outcome of arterial ischemic stroke in a case series of Senegalese children. We carried out a retrospective registry-based study on arterial ischemic stroke in children hospitalized in the neurology department of Fann Teaching Hospital and Albert Royer Children's Hospital, from January 2005 to December 2015. We enrolled 116 cases with an age range from 2 months to 18 years. The mean age at stroke occurrence was 71.5 months. The most common manifestations were hemiparesis (84%), aphasia (19%), and partial motor seizures (10%). The middle cerebral artery was the most affected (81%). Risk factors were predominantly sickle cell disease (38%), embolic heart disease (9%), and anemia (3%). Twenty-eight percent of patients were lost to follow-up, 62% had neurological impairments, and 4% died. Secondary prevention was based on antithrombotic agents. Prevention must be prioritized and public health actions need to focus on sickle cell disease, rheumatismal disease, anemia, and related disorders. It will be necessary to set up policies that fight against consanguineous marriage, endemic infections, and argue for better nutrition.
