Nearly half the world's population burns solid fuel for cooking, heating, and lighting. The incomplete combustion of these fuels is associated with detrimental health environmental effects. design distribution improved cookstoves that increase efficiency reduce indoor air pollution are a global priority. However, promoting exclusive sustainable use stoves has proved challenging. In 2012, we conducted survey in community rural Senegal to describe stove ownership preferences different...
Information on transmission of meningococcal infection in the African meningitis belt is scarce. We aimed to describe patterns Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcus) households belt.Cross-sectional carriage surveys were done seven countries (Chad, Ethiopia, Ghana, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and Senegal) between Aug 1, 2010, Oct 15, 2012. Meningococcal carriers identified these all available people their recruited into this longitudinal cohort study. took pharyngeal swabs at first visit further...
Malariometric information is needed to decide how introduce malaria vaccines and evaluate their impact in sub-Saharan African countries. This cross-sectional study (NCT01954264) was conducted between October November, 2013, corresponding the high transmission season, four sites with Health Demographic Surveillance Systems (DSS) [two moderate-to-high endemicity Burkina Faso (Nouna Saponé) two low Senegal (Keur Socé Niakhar)]. Children (N = 2421) were randomly selected from DSS lists of...
Despite the deployment of several effective control interventions in central-western Senegal, residual malaria transmission is still occurring some hotspots. To better tailor targeted actions, it critical to unravel underlying environmental and geographical factors that cause persistence infection hotspot villages. "Hotspots villages" were defined our study as those reporting more than six indigenous cases during previous year. A total ten villages, including seven hotspots three...
Summary Rationale In Senegal, the prevalence of childhood asthma and utilization appropriate therapies is unknown. Methodology We used International Study Asthma Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) survey instrument to assess respiratory health rural Senegal. interviewed caregivers children aged 5 through 8 years age four largest Niakhar villages August 2012. Results 1,103 primary for 1,513 children, representing 91% all age‐eligible study area. Overall, 206 (14%) had wheeze at any time past, 130...
This paper investigates linkage to care following community-based screening for hepatitis B virus (HBV) in rural Senegal. HBV-positive participants who completed a biological and clinical examination assess liver disease treatment eligibility were referred regional hospital (if eligible treatment), invited join the Sen-B research cohort study (adults with detectable viral load) or their local health centre (all others). Logistic regressions conducted investigate factors associated (i) uptake...
The implementation of effective malaria control strategies in the central-western Senegal, such as Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS), long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLIN), Seasonal chemoprophylaxis (SMC) and appropriate management cases, has led to decline transmission region. However, residual still occurring some localities, known hotspots villages, making challenging achievement elimination goal. A pilot study was undertaken between 2013 2014 test feasibility a community-based IRS...
In the central western Senegal, malaria transmission has been reduced low due to combination of several effective control interventions. However, despite this encouraging achievement, residual still occurring in few areas, mainly ensured by An. arabiensis and melas. The resurgence or persistence disease may have originated from increase spread insecticide resistance genes among natural vectors populations. Therefore, assessing status mechanisms insecticides targeted is highest importance...
Abstract Malaria remains a major health problem and vector control is an essential approach to decrease its burden, although it threatened by insecticide resistance. New approaches for are needed. The females of Anopheles gambiae s.l. mate once in their life the swarms formed males. Trapping males potential new intervention control, alternative use insecticides, as would disrupt mating . proof-of-concept pilot study aiming at investigating swarm trapping intervention, was carried out 6...
Abstract Background Although mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is prevalent in West Africa, epidemiological data on HBV infection women remain scarce. We studied i) surface antigen (HBsAg) prevalence and its correlates, ii) screening history serological status awareness, iii) MTCT risk treatment needs Senegalese women. Methods A cross-sectional population-based serosurvey for HBsAg positivity was conducted 2018–2019 the rural area Niakhar (Fatick region,...
Introduction: The lowest immunization coverages (IC) are recorded in Africa, where health systems fail to take geographical disparities into account. objective of this study was identify the social determinants routine coverage for children aged 12 23 months Kaolack region.Methodology: A cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical conducted four districts region from 1 30 June 2014. cluster survey conducted. Data collection based on a pretested questionnaire administered mothers or guardians...
The group of inferior tracheobronchial lymph nodes (ITB) is a lymphatic junction through which the from both lungs carried. Lymphatic activity in this area can be used to assess spreading lung cancers. Our aim was quantify drainage segments towards ITB and determine direction flow into other mediastinal abdominal nodes. We injected dye directly subpleural vessels 100 25 fresh cadaver subjects; cadavers were then dissected. Thirty-eight (38%) drained 18 subjects. involved 15.6% upper lobe...
Knowledge of mosquito ecology is a prerequisite for efficient implementation vector control strategies. This one-year study was carried out during the 2013 rainy season and 2014 dry throughout flooded areas suburbs Dakar with aim to characterize map anopheline larval habitats. In both seasons, all water bodies that were encountered within departments geo-located their features (type body, size, turbidity distance human dwellings) recorded. The presence and/or culicine larvae predators...
Abstract Understanding the behavior and ecology of local malaria vectors is essential for effectiveness commonly used vector-targeted control tools in areas low transmission. This study was conducted to determine species composition, biting infectivity major Anopheles Plasmodium falciparum transmission settings central Senegal. Adult mosquitoes were collected using human landing catches during 2 consecutive nights Pyrethrum Spray Catches 30–40 randomly selected rooms, from July 2017 December...
We report 5 cases of penetrating chest wounds caused by weapons made from swordfish swords, involving breakage the sword that later appeared as a thoracic foreign body. The patients had been assaulted 2 days to 17 years earlier. Three them chronic infected wound, one wound with hemopneumothorax, and Computed tomography showed body in lung 4 cases, aortic penetration one. was removed via thoracotomy all patients, aorta repair who presented pseudoaneurysm.
