Electrical and electronic devices are becoming an increasingly important part of our society. In Africa, and in Senegal in particular, the handling and management of electronic and electrical equipment (EEE) that has reached the end of its life is mainly informal. This professional environment is characterized by the disintegration of the sector and the social heterogeneity that can be found there. The objective of this study is to assess the standard of living of electrical and electronic equipment waste handlers in the Dakar region, as well as their perception of their health. A survey was used to obtain information on sociodemographic background, living arrangements, perception of health status, and good practices to be implemented in case of work-related health problems. Life style, perception of general health and health problems were ranged as excellent, very good, good, average and poor. Informal recyclers in the Dakar region lived mainly in rooms and buildings as tenants (49.1%), or in family homes (48.4%) before starting this activity, and 51.2% continue to live in rooms and buildings as tenants compared to 41.4% who still live in a family home. The perception of health status ranged from poor to excellent, and 4.9% believe that they are limited in work due to a disability or health problem. Informal work is a heterogeneous phenomenon that makes research and policymaking particularly complex. There are several external factors within informal WEEE re-cyclers that can cause health problems or functional disability. However, the living conditions and the perception they have of their state of health are contradictory to the working conditions and the social environment to which they belong. A biomedical approach would consolidate these achievements by confirming or invalidating them.

Introduction: Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS), a rare diagnosis due to compression of the third duodenum between the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and the aorta resulting in bowel obstruction, may lead to severe malnutrition. We report two cases of patients hospitalised in the Internal Medicine, Endocrinology, Diabetology, and Nutrition Department of the National Hospital Center (NHC) of Pikine. Observations: Patient 1: A 35-year-old female was referred for an aetiological diagnosis due to a rapid weight loss of 15 kilograms in one month, accompanied by persistent vomiting, following an appendectomy performed a month before admission. Upon clinical examination, she presented severe malnutrition (Buzby index of 76%), early post-prandial chronic vomiting, and a poor general condition. An abdominal CT scan revealed aortomesenteric clamp syndrome (AMCS) with an angulation between the aorta and the SMA of 13˚. The underlying cause in this patient was severe malnutrition. Fortunately, her condition improved with medical treatment. Patient 2: We report the case of a 30-year-old female hospitalized due to unusual weight-bearing post-prandial epigastric pain and intermittent vomiting over the past six months. Upon physical examination at admission, she exhibited severe malnutrition with a body mass index (BMI) of 14 kg/m2, a Buzby index of 71%, trophic disorders, and a stage IV general condition assessment according to the World Health Organization (WHO). An abdominal CT scan revealed AMCS with an angle between the aorta and the SMA of 22˚ and an aortomesenteric space of 4 mm. The outcome was poor with medical treatment failure and, unfortunately, the patient died before surgery. Conclusion: SMAS is rarely evoked in clinical practice despite the presence of contributing factors and suggestive clinical signs. The prognosis depends on management time.

Journal of Cancer Therapy 2021年第5期12卷 279-288页

Context: Technological advances have improved the toxicities of radiotherapy. We are evaluating the 3D technique in prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: Retrospective study from January 2015 to December 2015 with 29 files. Survival was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method. Results: We collected 29 patient records over the study period. The median age was 75 years with the following extremes: 54 years and 83 years. The median PSA level was 12 ng/ml with a range of 3.05 to 79 ng/ml. Gleason score analysis showed 6 patients (20.69%) with a score of 6 (3 + 3), 23 patients (79.31%) with a score of 7 including 12 patients (41.38%) with grade 3 and 11 patients (37.93%) with grade 4. The median dose delivered was 74 Gy, with a mean dose of 73.79 Gy and extremes of 70 Gy for the minimum and 76 Gy for the maximum. Hormone therapy was combined with radiotherapy in 17 patients (58.62%). Seven patients (24.14%) had grade 1 acute bladder toxicity and one patient (3.45%) had grade 2 acute toxicity. Late bladder toxicity was grade 1 in 5 patients (17.24%), grade 2 in 3 patients (10.34%) and grade 3 in 1 patient (3.45%). Late rectal toxicity, grade 2 in 3 patients (10.34%), grade 3 in 1 patient, was noted. Overall survival at 2 years was 100% and 89.65% at 5 years. Relapse-free survival at 2 years was 82.76% and 62.07% at 5 years. There were 3 deaths (10.34%) of which only one was related to prostate cancer.

Primary Hyperparathyroidia at the Abass Ndao Hospital Center: About 29 Cases

Introduction: In Senegal, there is very little data on primary hyperparathyroidism despite an overall upward epidemiological trend. The objective was to describe its epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study, conducted over 5 years (from January 01, 2018 to December 31, 2022) at the National Abass Ndao Hospital Center and including all confirmed cases of primary hyperparathyroidism. Results: Twenty-nine patients were included with a female predominance (86.20%) and an average age of 48.10 ± 18.93 years. The discovery of hyperparathyroidism was fortuitous in 79.31% of cases. The main clinical manifestations were osteoarticular (62%) and urinary (34.5%). On average, serum calcium measured was 109.2 ± 7.92 mg/l, corrected serum calcium 111.3 ± 6.25 mg/l, urinary calcium 421.9 ± 96.45 mg/24h and parathormone at 145 ± 159.71 pg/ml. Among the patients, 25 had hypercalcemia (86.2%) and all had 24-hour hypercalciuria. The diagnosis was retained in view of the elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) values in all patients. Cervical ultrasound objectified a parathyroid adenoma in 27.58% of cases and 12 patients or 46.2% had presented a scintigraphy in favor of a parathyroid adenoma. We found 01 cases of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2. Bone densitometry performed in 10 patients found osteoporosis in 60% of cases (6 patients) and osteopenia in 40% of cases (4 patients). Surgical treatment was performed in 12 patients (41.4%). The histology of the surgical specimens was in favor of a parathyroid adenoma in all cases. Among the operated patients, the evolution was marked by a cure rate of 100%. Conclusion: The symptomatology of primary hyperparathyroidism remains mainly osteoarticular and urinary. Surgery has proven its effectiveness in our series. We insist on the systematic dosage of calcemia especially in women over 50 years and the promotion of morphological explorations.
