background and Objective: HIV infection is a major global Public Health threat worldwide, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa of which benin. The level of knowledge determines the attitudes and behaviors of the populations towards this infection. The study objective was to assess knowledge, attitudes and practices related to HIV infection among motorbike taxi drivers (MTD) in Parakou in 2021. Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study targeting MTD in Parakou in 2021. Participants were selected by cluster sampling. Pretested Digitized questionnaire using KoboCollect@ applicationserved as a data collection tool. Knowledge, attitudes and practices variable were treated on a score scale. A knowledge score was considered to reflect a good knowledge of HIV if at least two-thirds of the knowledge statements had been correctly answered provided the subject recognized the sexual route as one of modes of HIV transmission, identified at least one preventive measure and meant the incurability of the disease. Quantitative and qualitative variables were appropriately described using the EPI Info 7.***.3.3 software. The participant was classified at positive attitude/practice for HIV prevention, when it has a score of at least 80% and suggests a good preventive measure face a risk of exposure to HIV. Results: A total of 374 subjects were recruited into the study. The mean age was 31.51 ± 7.76 years. Most participants (86.06%) had good knowledge of condom use as an HIV prevention method. The sources of information mentioned were mainly the media (77.07%), relatives or friends (63.38%), and field-workers from non-governmental organizations (37.26%). Routine HIV testing was 50.53%.

Objective: Intracranial suppurations are a cosmopolitan pathology whose prevalence depend of the region of the world. They are mostly caused by otolaryngological infections. Despite the progress, they remain serious diseases in Africa. The objective of this study was to report the epidemiology, clinical and etiological aspects of intracranial suppurations in Togo. Method: This was a retrospective and descriptive study carried out from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2020 including all cases of intracranial suppuration treated in the neurosurgery unit of Sylvanus Olympio university hospital in Lomé. The evolution was evaluated at discharge, at 3 and 6 months after. Results: We collected 185 cases of intracranial suppuration. The average age of the patients was 12.6 years with a male predominance (72.4%). The main clinical signs were the infectious syndrome (92.4%), intracranial high pressure (51.4%), focal deficit (38.4%) and seizures (20.5%). An otolaryngological infections history was noted within 3 months in 72.4%. The brain CT scan noted a predominance of empyema (63.8%) mostly subdural (64.4%). Radiological sinusitis was found in 57.3%. We identified etiology in 69.2% predominated by otolaryngological causes. Patients received medical and surgical treatment in 77.3%. The bacteriology was positive only in 7 cases. The mortality rate was 15.1%, mostly no operated cases (78.6%). At 6 months 84% recovered without sequelae. The predictive prognostic factors for mortality were: coma (p 0.001), absence of surgical treatment (p 0.02). Conclusion: Intracranial suppuration remains frequent in our country, mainly due to otolaryngological pathologies. The clinical presentation is not always specific and bergman’s triad is rarely complete. The results of treatment are good if it is early.

background: Tolosa Hunt Syndrome is an inflammatory condition of unknown etiology of the cavernous sinus and superior orbital fissure. because of the difficulty in establishing histological evidence, his diagnosis is based on a set of arguments established by the International Headache Society. MRI allows indirect visualization of the granuloma and plays a key role in diagnosis and follow-up. Aim: To illustrate High-field MRI contribution in Tolosa-Hunt Syndrome (THS). Cases Presentation: Two patients, a 25-year-old female and a 40-year-old male were recruited in this retrospective case report study at the Radiology service of Fann University Hospital (Dakar Senegal). The first patient has been suffering from a right retro-orbital pain and diplopia for 2 months and the second from a painful oculomotor nerve palsy for 3 months. blood tests, lumbar puncture, thyroid hormone levels and an infectious screen were done. Screening for converting enzymes, and serum antibodies were also done. They underwent a high field MRI (Siemens 1.5T) with T1, T2, FLAIR, T2*, diffusion b1000, TOF polygon, CISS 3D and T1 gadolinium sequences in the 3 planes space. No significant abnormality was detected in blood tests or CSF analysis. Screening for converting enzymes and serum antibodies screen were also negative. For each patient, MRI examinations showed a non tumoral thickening of the right cavernous sinus, suggesting a granulomatous involvement. Tolosa Hunt Syndrome was evoked firstly. They were put on corticotherapy at high doses with a spectacular regression of symptoms. The Criteria of the International Headache Society of THS were met in both patients. Conclusion: High-field MRI is a significant diagnostic tool in the assessment of painful ophthalmoplegia. It allows a direct visualization of the granuloma of the cavernous sinus and assesses its course throughout the disease.

Participants were selected using a 2-level random sampling technique. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire and were analyzed using Epi Info and Stata softwares. Associated factors were investigated by a logistic regression. Results Mean age was 16.54 ± 0.04 years and sex ratio was 1.16. The prevalence of overweight was 8.1% and that of obesity was 1.6%. Associated risk factors were female gender, sedentary lifestyle, consumption of sugary and carbonated beverages. Consumption of fruits and vegetables, regular physical activity, age over than 15 years were protective factors. Conclusion Overweight and obesity among school adolescents are increasing in benin. The establishment of a school nutrition program and the promotion of regular physical activity should contribute to reducing their prevalence.
