Obstetrical Emergencies in Ouahigouya Regional Teaching Hospital (Burkina Faso) in the Context of Insecurity Linked to Armed Groups: A Comparative Study between Patients from Precarious Security Zones and Those from Safe Areas
Sib S.Rodrigue., Komboïgo, Evélyne, Sanogo, M., Diallo A., Ouedraogo, Issa., Ouedraogo D. and Ouedraogo Ali.
Introduction: Insecurity can be an obstacle to access to emergency obstetric and newborn care, that is why we proposed to study obstetrical emergencies in Ouahigouya Regional Teaching Hospital, a referral hospital in a region plagued by insecurity linked to armed groups.
Method: This was an analytical cross-sectional study with pro(...)

Local perception of the current state and threat factors of a critically endangered species, Celtis toka (Forssk.) Hepper & J.R.I. Wood, in Burkina Faso: implications for species conservation
Dabré Zaïnabou, Zerbo Issouf, Nacoulma Blandine Marie Ivette, Soro Dodiomon, Thiombiano Adjima
Celtis toka, the only species of the genus Celtis (family Cannabaceae) encountered in the flora of Burkina Faso, is critically endangered in the country. To engage the public for the future conservation and domestication of the species, knowledge of the factors threatening Celtis toka survival is necessary. Thus, the study objective was to ide(...)

Impact of climate patterns, land-use types and exploitation on the population structure of Bombax costatum Pellegr. and Vuillet in West African semi-arid savannas
Zerbo Issouf, Salako Kolawolé Valère, Hounkpèvi Achille, Zozoda Djirensolo, Kakaï Romain Glèlè, Thiombiano Adjima
Some multi-purpose woody species, although currently considered as “least concern” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), are undergoing several disturbances resulting from human overexploitation and changes in climate conditions and land-use types. The patterns of such disturbances are likely to vary across climate regi(...)

Selection of Cowpea [(Vigna unguiculata (L.) WALP] Genotypes for Drought Tolerance Using Selection Indices
Sekou Armand Sanogo, Sory Diallo, Daniel Nyadanu, Téyioué Benoit Joseph Batieno, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo
Cowpea [(Vigna unguiculata (L.)] is one of the most important arid legumes cultivated for pulse and forage production. However, in cowpea, not much is known about the base index selection method in breeding for drought tolerance. Consequently, the present study has been conducted to: (1 ) evaluate the yield performance of cowpea genotypes unde(...)

Physicochemical and Nutritional Potential of Fifteen Sorghum Cultivars from Burkina FasoPhysicochemical and Nutritional Potential of Fifteen Sorghum Cultivars from Burkina Faso
David Bazié , Crépin Ibingou Dibala, Clarisse Pulcherie Kondombo, Mamounata Diao, Kiessoun Konaté, Hemayoro Sama, Adéchola Pierre Polycarpe Kayodé and Mamoudou H. Dicko
Abstract: Background: Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a staple food cereal for most of the rural populations in sub-Saharan Africa. In Burkina Faso, a great diversity of sorghum cultivar is cultivated, but its nutritional potential still needs to be assessed. This study aims to characterize the physicochemical and nutritional profile(...)

Standing genetic variation and chromosome differences drove rapid ecotype formation in a major malaria mosquito
Scott T Small, Carlo Costantini , N'Fale Sagnon, Moussa W Guelbeogo, Scott J Emrich, Andrew D Kern, Michael C Fontaine, Nora J Besansky
pecies distributed across heterogeneous environments often evolve locally adapted ecotypes, but understanding of the genetic mechanisms involved in their formation and maintenance in the face of gene flow is incomplete. In Burkina Faso, the major African malaria mosquito Anopheles funestus comprises two strictly sympatric and morphologically i(...)

Comparison of regular with NPH insulin vs. premix insulin in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes in a resources-limited setting: a retrospective data analysis
Yempabou Sagna*, Wend Pagnangde Abraham Hermann Bagbila, René Bognounou, Alassane Ilboudo, Nongoba Sawadogo, Carole G. Kyelem, Oumar Guira, Macaire S. Ouedraogo and Joseph Y. Drabo
Objectives: Few studies addressed the efficacy of human insulin regimens (mostly premix insulin) used in many lowand- middle income countries on glycemic control of children and adolescents with diabetes. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of the premix insulin on the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in comparison to the regular with(...)

EXTENSION OF THE SPARRE ANDERSEN RISK MODEL VIA THE SPEARMAN COPULA
Delwendé Abdoul-Kabir Kafando, Victorien Konané, Frédéric Béré and Pierre Clovis Nitiéma
This paper is devoted to an extension of the Sparre Andersen risk model without the assumption of independence of claim amounts and time between claims. The dependent structure between these random variables is described by the Spearman copula. We study the Laplace transform of the discounted penalty function and the Laplace transform of the p(...)

Introduction : La dermatomyosite est une myopathie inflammatoire, polymorphe dans son expression
phénotypique, immunologique et dans sa réponse thérapeutique. Dans 50 à 70 % des cas, un anticorps spécifique
est retrouvé. Récemment, un nouvel anticorps « anti-MDA-5 » a été découvert, il serait associé à un phénotype
particulier touchant la(...)
