Abstract
Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) methods are widely used with magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography to assess the vascular characteristics of tumours since these properties can affect the response to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. In contrast, there have been far fewer studies using optical-based applications despite the advantages of low cost and safety. This study investigated an appropriate kinetic model for optical applications to characterize tumour haemodynamics (blood flow, F, blood volume, V(b), and vascular heterogeneity) and vascular leakage (permeability surface-area product, PS). DCE data were acquired with two dyes, indocyanine green (ICG) and 800 CW carboxylate (IRD(cbx)), from a human colon tumour xenograph model in rats. Due to the smaller molecular weight of IRD(cbx) (1166 Da) compared to albumin-bound ICG (67 kDa), PS of IRD(cbx) was significantly larger; however, no significant differences in F and V(b) were found between the dyes as expected. Error analysis demonstrated that all parameters could be estimated with an uncertainty less than 5% due to the high temporal resolution and signal-to-noise ratio of the optical measurements. The next step is to adapt this approach to optical imaging to generate haemodynamics and permeability maps, which should enhance the clinical interest in optics for treatment monitoring.

Abstract
Statins are generally well tolerated molecules. However, some cases have seen potentially lifethreatening consequences. We report a case of a 70-year-old woman with high blood pressure who was treating hypercholesterolemia by atorvastatin. Two weeks after beginning this new treatment, the patient developed muscular weakness in all four limbs with myalgias; and a purpura in the upper limbs and abdomen. A biological study revealed the presence of severe thrombocytopenia, myolysis and cytolytic hepatitis. Stopping the atorvastatin intake resulted in an improved situation within twenty days. This suggests that the medical anomalies found in the patient were drug-induced. The literature confirms the rarity of this association. The severity of some side effects of statins should remain in the minds of medicine prescribers.

Abstract
Pernicious anemia appears classically by macrocytosis. We report a case of a late discovered Biermer disease, on a 42-year-old young black woman. The reason was an unusual aspect of this disease in a context of betathalassemia. The patient presented chronic anemia which evolved during about ten year. Biology showed a normocytosis and signs of hemolysis according to beta-thalassemia. This was confirmed by an electrophoresis showing 9.1 % of fraction F some haemoglobin. Since this date, the patient was treated by folic acid alone with periodic transfusions of red blood cell. She presented eight years after the beginning of her disease, neurological deterioration. Diagnosis of pernicious anemia was finally established up on histological gastritis, low level of the blood rate of vitamin B12, macrocytosis, and presence of intrinsic anti-factor and parietal anti-cells antibodies.

Abstract
Obesity is currently viewed as a serious worldwide public health issue. In this survey, we aim to determine its prevalence among schoolchildren and teenagers in Dakar. The sample of our survey consisted of 2,356 students aged 11-17, including 1,110 boys and 1,246 girls. For each of them, we have calculated their body mass index. Based on the higher value of the norm of that index, referred to the 97th percentile of Rolland-Cachera MF's curves, we have identified obese students according to their age and sex. The prevalence of obesity within our sample is 9.34%, with 2.88% for boys and 6.46% for girls. It is at its peak in the age of 11, though there is no significance (p > 0.05) in its decrease (from age 12 to 17). There are significantly (p < 0.05) more obese students in "catholic private" schools than in "public" schools where schooling is free. Child and teenage obesity is a reality in Dakar schools. Consequently, it is advisable to determine its nationwide prevalence to take on its prevention as well as its cure.

Abstract
The left gastroepiploic artery (LGEA) is rarely described. The aim of this study is to report the fashion of its origin considering the greatly surgical interest of the short gastric vessels in the spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy with excision of splenic pedicle. About 79 fresh cadaveric pieces we dissect and opacified the LGEA to specify its origin based on the Pinus's classification. We measured the distances between the origin of the LGEA and the terminal division of the splenic artery, the splenic hilus and the great gastric curvature. The LGEA arise from the splenic artery. Dissection underlines a troncular origin (type I) in 20.25% of cases, a distal origin from an inferior polar branch (type II) in 68.35% of cases and an origin from a common spleno-gastroepiploic trunk (type III) in 11.4% of cases. The three distances measured was respectively of 28.7, 25.3 and 31.4mm. The arteriography revealed respectively for the same types 21.21, 51.51 and 27.28%. The vascular disposition of the type III well illustrates the important role of the LGEA for the vascularization of the inferior pole of the spleen. Although the LGEA arise from a polar splenic lower branch in more half of the cases, it is important to know the frequency of the other modalities of its origin. These anatomical variations vascular are to be considered during spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy with excision of splenic pedicle as well as for gastric esophagoplasty.

Abstract
A perforation rarely reveals a primary duodenal ulcer. The occurring of digestive haemorrhage in post operative followings evokes spontaneously a stress ulcer. We report an observation of a child who presented on fourth day delay after operation an ulcer of the anterior duodenal bulbar face and a haemorrhage of the posterior bulbar face. A 7-year-old girl with no particular pathological antecedent was admitted for abdominal pain, bile vomiting and constipation evolving since 6 days. Clinical examination revealed a general state thickening, an infectious syndrome, a meteoric and general abdominal sensitivity. The abdominal radiography without preparation showed a pneumoperitoneum. The surgical exploration discovered a perforated ulcer on the bulbar anterior face. A simple closure associated with omental patch was performed. Four days after operation, she presented an abundant digestive haemorrhage with shock. The resuscitation did not improve the patient's general state. The upper digestive endoscopy revealed a haemorrhage of the posterior bulbar face. An adrenalin injection stopped the bleeding. The treatment by neutron pump inhibitors and an eradicating treatment of Helicobacter pylori permitted the healing of the ulcers. The occurring of digestive haemorrhage in the followings of surgical intervention for perforated ulcer involves an upper digestive endoscopy. This examination can reveal misdiagnosed ulcer during the surgical exploration and permits to perform a haemostatic act.

Abstract
Surgical access to the inguinal region, notably during hernia repairs, exposes the ilioinguinal nerve to the risk of damage at the origin of the neuralgia. The incidence of these post-operative neuropathies and their medicolegal consequences justify this study about the anatomical variations of the ilioinguinal nerve. With the aim of preventing its damage during repairs of groin hernias and identifying the factors of onset of chronic spontaneous neuropathy of the ilioinguinal nerve, we dissected 100 inguinal regions of 51 fresh adult corpses. The nerve was absent in seven cases and double in one case. Out of the 94 ilioinguinal nerves observed, we analyzed the path in relation to the inguinal ligament and the connections with the walls of the inguinal canal and its content. The ilioinguinal nerve travels along the superficial surface of the internal oblique muscle, passing on average 1.015 cm from the inguinal ligament. In one case, the fibers of the internal oblique muscle spanned it in several places. The nerve was antero-funicular in 78.72% of cases and perforated the fascia of the external oblique in 28.72% of cases. The terminal division took place in the inguinal canal in 86% of cases, with terminal branches that sometimes perforated the fascia of the external oblique. These results enabled us to better understand the etiopathogenic aspects of certain neuropathies of the groin and to propose techniques useful for the protection of the nerve during repairs of groin hernias.

Abstract
The gastroomental (gastroepiploic) arterial circle of the stomach is the main vascular axis of the gastroplasty use as esophagus substitute after esophagectomy. The aim of this anatomoangiographic study is to study the anastomosis between the right and left gastroomental arteries and emphasize interest of the transillumination: an ordinary anatomic method use in surgical practice. We use forty five fresh cadaveric stomach of adult for determine the anastomotic fashion of the arterial circle of the great gastric curvature. About three models of gastric esophagoplasty we verify similarity of vascular transillumination results and we compare with the radiographic exploration. The thickness of the gastrocolic ligament in which progress the gastroomental arterial circle can lead astray for macroscopic determination of anastomotic mode. Thus the type I, II, III and IV which are of 60%, 22,2%, 13,3% and 4,4% at macroscopic observation become 64,1%, 15,4%, 15,4% and 5,1% after arteriographic analysis. Even if the submucosal arteriolar network and the rich parietal anastomosis confer at the stomach the best qualities for esophageal replacement, the multifactorial particularity of success in esophagogastroplasty require identification and preservation of the gastroomental arterial circle. The transillumination which facilitate evaluation of this arterial axis is a simple and accessible process which we advocate.

Abstract
The arch of the great saphenous vein presents numerous tributaries. Misappreciation of their anatomical variations might cause recurrence after surgical treatment of varices. We dissected 54 inguino-femoral regions of fresh, black African corpses. Our purpose was to study the anatomical variations in the vein confluents of the arch of the great saphenous vein; its positions in relation to the external pudendal artery; establish palpable anatomical markers for its surgical approach. The conventional type in a 'vein star' shape was not the most frequent. Upper or abdominal common vein produced through the merging of superficial veins of the anterior abdominal wall and genital or internal common vein were more frequent. An anterior saphenous vein was found in 23 cases. The external pudendal artery crossed beneath the arch of the great saphenous vein cross in 56% of cases and previously in 44% of cases. On average, the top of the arch of the great saphenous vein was projected out 10.88 cm from the ventral and cranial iliac spine, 3.83 cm from the pubic tubercle and 4.19 cm from the inguinal ligament. In view of our results, variations are real. Knowing and taking them into account are essential to prevent recurrences after surgical treatment of varices of the pelvic limb.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the influence of both age and speed on ground reaction forces and temporal parameters during normal gait in children. Fifteen children aged 4-6 years (group 1), 16 aged 6-8 years (group 2), and 16 aged 8-10 years (group 3) walked at 2.7 km/h, 3.6 km/h, and 4.5 km/h on a treadmill. For each child thirty successive steps were recorded. The influence of speed and age on normalized gait parameters was examined with two-way analysis of variance. The first vertical peak force (Fz1) and all the antero-posterior forces of group 1 were higher than those of the other groups for the three speeds. The minimum vertical force (Fz2), the second vertical peak force (Fz3), and the duration of stride and stance were significantly higher in groups 2 and 3. For all the groups, Fz1 and all the antero-posterior forces increased with the speed while Fz2, stride, stance, and double-stance duration decreased. Fz3 was not influenced by speed variation. The results of this study show that age and walking speed influence ground reaction forces and stride time parameters in 4- to 10-year-old children.

Abstract
A survey was carried out in two goat herds during a single peste des petits ruminant (PPR) outbreak. Clinical examination showed that animals belonging to the West African Dwarf species had severe symptoms while those belonging to the West African long-legged species had mild symptoms. To confirm and to monitor the disease in each species, the study required specific monoclonal antibody-based diagnostic tools. An association of shedding of PPR virus (PPRV) and acute or mild clinical signs of the disease could be demonstrated by the rinderpest virus (RPV)/PPRV immunocapture ELISA assay. Between 85 and 100% of nasal secretions obtained from clinically diseased goats during the PPR outbreak reacted positively. Parallel serological surveillance for specific measurement of PPR antibodies revealed that between 34.4 and 88.5% of animals with no detectable virus were, however, able to seroconvert and therefore seemed to demonstrate that PPR subclinical infections do occur. Antibodies were shown to impair the RP heterologous vaccination. This evaluation offers new prospects for diagnosis and management of PPRV infection as well as for RPV control.

Abstract
Our study justified by the frequency of acute appendicitis and the possibility of anatomic variations of the caecoappendicular area attempt to index the topographic variations of the vermiform appendix (v.a.). On 80 fresh native cadavers (62 men and 18 women) without surgical antecedent whose mean age was 36 years (range between 16 and 78 years) we note the morphotype and the height. More over we study the intraperitoneal projection of the Mac Burney point, topography and shape of the cecum and the situation, shape and dimensions of the v.a. We note also the level of implantation of this latter on the cecum, appearance of the mesoappendix and the distance separating the base of the appendix to the ileo-caecal junction. Mac Burney's point permitted to localize appendix in 66%; the cecum has more often than not the form of a bulb (98.7%) and sited in right fossa iliaca. We noted 7 types of topographic disposition; front varieties were more frequent (68.7%) notably the pelvic direction (51.2%) with a medial (72.5%) or a posteromedial (27.5%) establishment on the cecum. The v.a. was more often in the form of worm with a long mesoappendix; his mean length was 106.4 mm (between 65 and 160 mm) and the mean diameter 6.77 mm (range between 4 and 10 mm). The distance which separated the base of the appendix to the ileo-cecal junction varied between 15 to 40 mm with a mean distance of 24.2 mm. Thus in this study, dimensions of the v.a. were very variables. Located in right fossa iliaca he adopted a front topography with pelvic direction and medial establishment on bulbar cecum. In spite of scarcity of ectopic situation of the appendix for which laparoscopic approach is salutary, a similar topographic study during surgical treatment of acute appendicitis will be interesting.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION BK virus has been described previously in renal transplant patients, but has also been reported in cases of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. METHOD A case of progressive BK virus multifocal leukoencephalopathy induced by long-term corticosteroid therapy is reported. RESULTS In our case, BK virus was detected in cerebrospinal fluid by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A detailed review of similar cases in the literature showed most of them occurred in AIDS patients, but four involved immunocompetent patients. CONCLUSION Though BK virus infection usually leads to urinary tract symptoms in immunologically suppressed patients, it is important to be aware of its neurological manifestations and to recognize BK infections that can occur in immunocompetent patients.

Abstract
The arch of the great saphenous vein cross receives numerous tributaries from the abdominal wall, male external genitalia and pelvic limbs. These collaterals present many variations relating to their number and mode of anastomosis. Their misappreciation may lead to post operative recurrences after surgical treatment of varices. For a last study of these variations, we dissected 40 inguinofemoral regions in fresh black african corpes. The conventional type in a "vein strar" shape was present in 4 cases. An abdominal common vein produced through the merging of the superficial epigastric and superficial circumflex iliac veins was found in 5 cases. A genital common vein summarising the external pudendal veins was present in 19 cases. In 8 cases the abdominal and genital common vein was simultaneously present. An anterior saphenous vein was found in 15 cases, and a posterior saphenous vein in 5 cases. These results, confirm the importance of anatomic variations. Their knowledge is necessary to avoid recurrences after surgery of varicose veins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of age and speed on the variability of ground reaction forces (GRF) and stride parameters of gait in normal children. MATERIAL AND METHOD Forty-seven children aged 4-10 years were split into three age groups. Each child walked at three constant speeds on a treadmill. Thirty consecutive steps of each leg were recorded. For each child, the mean parameters of the 30 steps were calculated. The mean parameter of each child was taken to calculate the mean parameters of the group. The variability was evaluated by the coefficient of variation (CV). The influence of both age and speed on the variability was examined with a to-way analysis of variance. RESULTS The cross effect of age and speed on the variability was not significant. The variability of the parameters decreased significantly with age between 4 and 8 years. The variability of vertical forces increased significantly with speed (between 2.7 and 4.5 km/h), while the variability of antero-posterior forces, the stride and the stance decreased between 2.7 and 3.6 km/h. However, the variability of double stance was not influenced by walking speed between 2.7 and 4.5 km/h. Except the time of production of the vertical force of propulsion (Tz3), the variability of temporal vertical parameters decreased significantly with speed between 2.7 and 4.5 km/h and the variability of temporal antero-posterior parameters decreased significantly between 2.7 and 3.6 km/h. DISCUSSION-CONCLUSION The variability of the GRF and spatio-temporal parameters in children was influenced by age between 4 and 8 years old and by speed between 2.7 and 3.6 km/h. Moreover, the effect of age on the GRF persists up to 8 years. The variabilities of the time of production of the antero-posterior force of propulsion (Ty2) and stance duration were lower than the variabilities of the others parameters. These two variables could be the most reliable parameters when assessing gait in children aged 4-10 years, walking at speeds between 2.7 and 4.5 km/h.
