Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the psychic repercussions of sexual assault among female students in Parakou in 2023. methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study conducted from December 2022 to July 2023 among all students at the University of Parakou. The sampling technique was stratified non-proportional at two levels. The dependent variable was self-reported sexual assault. The psychopathological repercussions linked to sexual assault and explored in these students were: post-traumatic stress disorder assessed with the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-5 (PCL-5) scale;and current depression screened with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scale. Results: A total of 376 female students from the University of Parakou meeting the inclusion criteria were surveyed. The average age of the subjects surveyed was 20.56 ± 2.46 years, with extremes of 16 and 32 years. A predominance of subjects under 25 was observed. The prevalence of sexual assault among female students at the University of Parakou was 10.63%. The types of aggression suffered were mostly rape (18 people;45%) and sexual touching (16 people;40%), and the aggressors were mainly friends/boyfriends (13;32.5%), family members (12;30.0%) and people from the house/neighborhood (9;22.5%). Psychological repercussions included depression in 72.5% (29) of cases, with mild depression in 30% (12), moderate depression in 37.5% (15) and severe depression in 5% (2). Anxiety disorders were present in 27.50% (11) of victims. The risk factors associated with sexual assault in these students were gravidity (p = 0.014;OR = 15.32), unhappy life events (p = 0.01;OR = 17.24), and age of first sexual intercourse (p = 0.016;OR = 4.608). Conclusion: One in ten female students in Parakou has been sexually assaulted. Once again, preventive action through effective sex education is a means of fighting the problem that should be prioritized for every girl and boy from an early age. Psychological s

Introduction: Infections are significant causes of mortality in sickle cell children in resource-limited countries. This study aimed to determine the clinical profile and bacterial ecology of infections in children with sickle-cell disease in two referral hospitals in Niamey. Patients and methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted from January 2018 to July 2020 in two referral hospitals in Niamey. All children aged one (1) to 15 years with sickle cell disease admitted for suspected infection, including at least one bacterial culture, were studied. Bacteriological analysis was performed using the appropriate culture media, using BactAlert (Reference 4700003 BTA3D60 Biomérieux). Results: Over 36-months, 350 children with a mean age of 10.9 months were admitted. The sex ratio was 1.2. The SS electrophoretic profile was the most common (93.4%). Immunization status was up to date in 66% of patients. Fever was the common reason for consultation (55.1%). Infection was confirmed in 62 patients (17.7%). The primary diagnoses were bacterial gastroenteritis (24.2%) and urinary tract infection (19.4%). Blood cultures were isolated from Salmonella typhi (13.0%) and Escherichia coli (8.7%). Klebsiella spp (7.1%) and Escherichia coli (5.0%) were detected in cytobacteriological examination of urine. Salmonella typhi (23.5%) and Escherichia coli (5.9%) were isolated on coproculture. Conclusion: Bacterial ecology appears not different from that usually observed in sickle-cell children. Salmonella and Escherichia coli were predominant.

Previous work on the exposure of equity markets to exchange rate risk, surprisingly, found stock returns were not significantly affected by exchange rate fluctuations. In this paper, we examine the relation between China, Japan and USA mSCI （morgan ＆ Stanley Capital International） daily equity index returns and SAFE （State Administration of Foreign Exchange） exchange rate returns of Chinese RmB and Japanese Yen in US dollar. We find a significant relation between Asian foreign equity stock retums and Chinese RmB and Japanese Yen exchange rate retums. This article incorporates foreign exchange values as partial determinants of Asian foreign equity market returns and suggests that currency risk is of hedging concern to investors with implications for portfolio management. We implement our result in portfolio＇s CaR determination under VaR constraints.

Introduction: Vasculitis associated with anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibodies (ANCA) can be grouped with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis (mAP), and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). Diagnosis of these rare pathologies is based on clinical presentation, the positivity of ANCA, and, if possible, histological proof of vasculitis. Our study describes a series of six cases of ANCA-associated vasculitis where due to the severity of symptoms apheresis sessions were started from the beginning of the therapy. Patients and methods: We conducted a retrospective, single-center observational, monocentric study on all patients treated by apheresis for ANCA vasculitis in the period January 01, 2016 to December 01, 2019. Results: We identified six cases of ANCA vasculitis treated by apheresis over a 3-year period. The mean age was 61 ± 19 years;m/F gender ratio was 1:1. Initial renal damage in all patients was rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. Inflammatory syndrome occurred in all patients with average CRP of 82 mg/L. All patients had positive ANCA at diagnosis. Four patients required renal replacement therapy at the time of diagnosis. The induction regimen consisted of rituximab associated with IV boluses of methylprednisolone. The apheresis techniques used were the same for all patients, i.e. plasmapheresis. Outcomes were favorable for five patients;only one patient became dependent on hemodialysis. No mortality occurred. Conclusion: This study analyzed practices for the management of patients with ANCA vasculitis. No patient was treated with cyclophosphamide as a first approach but rituximab instead. Plasmapheresis was given because of symptoms severity at initial diagnosis.

Type 1 or 2 diabetes can be complicated by numerous non-specific joint conditions. Sometimes revealing, these affections are frequent but often remain unrecognized. However, they are the cause of a significant functional handicap. The objective of this work is to describe the osteoarticular rheumatological disorders in diabetics consulting or hospitalized in the rheumatology and internal medicine departments of the National Hospital of Niamey and the magori Polyclinic. This was a cross-sectional study at the Rheumatology Department in collaboration with the Internal medicine Department within the National Hospital of Niamey and Polyclinic magori over a period of 7 months (December 2018 to July 2019). One hundred (100) diabetic patients with osteoarticular diseases were collected, 75% of whom were women with a female/male sex ratio of 0.33. The average age was 56 years with extremes of 21 and 90 years. Forty-three percent (43%) of the patients had diabetes for more than 10 years, with an average age of 13 years. The average BmI was 28.08 ± 5.42 kg/m2. Poor glycemic control was found in the majority of patients (92%). Gonarthrosis was the most common disease associated with diabetes (89%). In the context of joint stiffening syndrome, the most frequent problem was a protruding finger, found in 4% of patients, followed by retractile capsulitis in 3% of the 100 cases. Infectious complications were dominated by septic arthritis in 4% of patients. The presence of one or more degenerative complications of diabetes (nephropathy, retinopathy, nephropathy) was the most frequent factor associated with osteoarticular diseases in our diabetic patients. This work underlines the great variety and frequency of osteoarticular affections during diabetes, hence the interest in optimal glycemic control of a close collaboration between rheumatologists and endocrinologists in order to avoid as much as possible the development of these rheumatological affections which are the so

Introduction: Body Dysmorphia Disorder (BDD) is a mental disorder characterized by an obsessive focus on a perceived defect in appearance. This disorder can be dangerous or life-threatening. Hence, there is the need for special attention. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Body Dysmorphia Disorder (BDD) and to identify the factors associated with it. methods: This was a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study that took place from December 2020 to October 2021, with a census of all medical students enrolled at the University of Parakou for the 2020-2021 academic year and who volunteered to participate. DSm 5 diagnostic criteria were used to assess BDD, and the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale modified for Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD-YBOCS) was used to assess its severity. Results: A total of 669 people were included in the study. The prevalence of probable cases of BDD was 10.31%. Gender (female) (OR = 2.49;IC 95%: [1.45 - 4.26];p ma with cosmetic sequelae (OR = 2.95;IC 95%: [1.27 - 6.91];p = 0.012), depressive disorders (OR = 2.4;IC 95%: [1.12 - 5.15];p = 0.025), mockery/teasing or negative comments about physique (OR = 3.54;IC 95%: [2.06 - 6.12];p mental disappointments (OR = 2.89;IC 95%: [1.33 - 6.30];p = 0.008), and the importance attached to physical appearance (OR = 0.5;IC 95%: [0.31 - 0.82];p = 0.005) are associated with BDD. Its consequences are serious, with an altered quality of life that can lead to dropping out of school and suicidal ideation or behavior. Conclusion: Although little studied and little diagnosed, Body Dysmorphia Disorder (BDD) is a reality in the student environment of northern Benin. Further studies are needed to more define BDD in the Beninese socio-cultural context.

Introduction: Every year worldwide, the WHO estimates that nearly one million people take their own lives, the equivalent of one suicide occurring every 40 seconds, despite the fact that this harm is preventable. Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the risk of suicide in the general population in the commune of Parakou in 2022. methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study conducted from December 2021 to December 2022. Sampling was probabilistic, using the WHO cluster sampling technique. Results: A total of 582 subjects were surveyed, of whom 99 (17.01%) were at risk of suicide (low (7.6%), moderate (5.7%) and high (3.8%)). Evaluation of suicidal behaviors revealed suicidal ideation (15.12%), suicidal planning (4.46%), suicide attempts (3.78%) and suicidal equivalents (6.90%). After multivariate analysis, the following were statically associated with suicidal risk: wet nurse status of less than one month (p = 0.003), family history of suicide attempt (p = 0.004), lack of affection from parents or guardians (p = 0.044), poor relationship with partner (p = 0.033) and depression (p = 0.001). Conclusion: Approximately one person in five is at risk of suicide at the end of this study. There is every interest to implement effective preventive measures at national level.

Introduction: Online gambling is becoming increasingly popular worldwide. With its well-crafted visual and audio marketing, it is attracting more and more young people in Africa, where problems linked to employment and poverty are undermining youth. The consequences of gaming-related practices for health in general, and mental health in particular, are not negligible. The aim of this study was to measure the extent of the phenomenon within an urban community in Benin. methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study with analytical aim conducted in the general population of Parakou, northern Benin, from December 2021 to November 2022. A self-administered questionnaire incorporating DSm 5 criteria for pathological gambling was used to collect data. Results: A total of 576 subjects divided into 30 clusters of 19 to 20 individuals consented to participate in the study. The proportion of gamblers was 30.56%. The prevalence of pathological gambling calculated according to DSm 5 criteria was 24.65% [21.31% - 28.33%] in the general population. The prevalence of severe pathological gambling was estimated at 8.16% [5.96% - 10.44%] in the general population. The prevalence of anxiety was 28.30% ([24.62% - 31.98%]), compared with 15.10% ([12.18% - 18.02%]) for depression. Factors with a significant association with pathological gambling were: age, access to online gambling, access to video games, exposure to gambling advertisement, having gambling friends, debt accumulation. A statistically significant link was also found between pathological gambling and anxiety/depression. Conclusion: The reality of pathological gambling in northern Benin calls for effective preventive action among vulnerable groups at national level, involving various actors at different levels.

Background: Chronic heart failure is a public health problem worldwide. It has a high mortality rate and is accompanied by a decreased functional capacity and alteration of the quality of life. Objective: This study aimed to assess the cardiovascular functional capacity of a group of patients suffering from heart failure using the 6-minute walk test (6 mWT). methods: This was a cross-sectional study carried out in the cardiology unit of Douala’s general hospital for 4 months. We included all eligible patients aged 18 years or more who had stable chronic heart failure and gave informed consent. Those who had an acute coronary syndrome (≤1 month), tachycardia (HR ≥ 120 bpm), high blood pressure (SBP ≥ 180 mmHg and/or DBP ≥ 100 mmHg) and reduced mobility due to orthopaedic reasons were excluded. A 6 mWT was done according to the American Thoracic Society guidelines. The 6 mWT result was considered poor for - 450 m and good for >450 m. Results: We recruited a total of 81 patients (61.7% women) with a mean age of 65.9 ± 10.6 years. The most frequent risk factor for heart failure was high blood pressure (77.8%), alcohol consumption(69.1%) and a sedentary lifestyle (53.1%). The left ventricular ejection fraction was mostly preserved (42.0%) or mildly altered (46.9). The 6 mWT results were poor in 55.6% of cases, average in 19.8% of cases and good in only 24.7% of cases. more than half (59.3%) of the participants perceived the effort as being difficult. The cardiovascular functional capacity was significantly associated with age, heart failure stage and physical activity (p Conclusion: most patients suffering from chronic stable heart failure in the general hospital of Douala have poor cardiovascular functional capacity.
