Introduction: The rapid diagnostic capacities of laboratories in Mali have been an essential element in the response to COVID-19. The University Clinical Research center (UCRC) diagnosed the first cases of Mali COVID-19., Objective: The objective was to describe the contribution of the UCRC in the diagnosis of Covid-19 and to clinically and epidemiologically characterize the patients tested in the UCRC laboratory., Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted during eight months of intense activity. The samples were sent from the National Institute of Public Health (INSP) to the UCRC., Results: The UCRC tested 12,406 contacts and suspected samples and confirmed the diagnosis in 1091 patients, or 9%. The most common symptoms were cough (48.78%), headache (34.14%), fatigue / weakness (34.14%), while (33.33%) of the patients were asymptomatic. The sample positivity rate among new cases decreased from May to September 2020, despite almost 230% of the number of samples tested., Conclusion: The laboratory played a major role in the response and there may be a low transmission of the virus in the Malian community., (Le comité de rédaction se réserve le droit de renvoyer aux auteurs avant toute soumission à l'avis des lecteurs les manuscrits qui ne seraient pas conformes à ces modalités de présentation.

Introduction: The appearance of spontaneous subdural hematoma (SSDH) is a rare phenomenon in chronic hemodialysis and is burdened with significant morbidity and mortality. It's prevalence remains low in Sub-Saharan Africa, is 0.43%. We report a case of SSDH in a young hemodialysis patient with favorable outcome after medico-surgical management., Clinical Observation: This is a 35-year-old patient who has been hemodialysed since June 2016 for chronic renal insufficiency of hypertensive origin. He was admitted on 18 July 2018 in the nephrology department of CHU Point G for intense headaches in a context of dysarthria. They associate themselves with speech disorders, photo-phonophobia, uncontrollable nausea and vomiting. It does not report any notion of head trauma. The physical examination noted dysarthria, a right pyramidal syndrome made of right Babinsky sign, right arm deficit at 4/5, and right hemicorporeal hyperkinesia. He weighed 62 kg for 165 cm, the blood pressure was 187 / 110 mmHg. The patient had clinical signs of extracellular dehydration. Non-injected cerebral CT showed an acute left sub-dural hematoma with peri-lesional cerebral hypodensity. Surgical evacuation of the hematoma through a trephine hole is performed under local anesthesia. The postoperative course was simple. His hemodialysis sessions were done without heparin from diagnosis until 23 days post operatively., Conclusion: Spontaneous subdural hematoma is multifactorial and rare in the dialysis patient. Despite high morbidity and mortality, hemodialysis should not refute surgical management of subdural hematoma., (Le comité de rédaction se réserve le droit de renvoyer aux auteurs avant toute soumission à l'avis des lecteurs les manuscrits qui ne seraient pas conformes à ces modalités de présentation.

Heterotopic pregnancy is a rare entity, its development up to term is exceptional. We report a case of heterotopic pregnancy of fortuitous discovery during a caesarean section performed in a 26-year-old female patient received for abdomino-pelvic pain on suspected twin pregnancy of 33 SA. No obstetric ultrasound had been performed before admission. Two ultrasound ultrasounds have objectified an intrauterine twin pregnancy with hydramnios. A caesarean section at 36 weeks indicated for twin pregnancy with hydramnios and severe anemia was performed during which we discovered an intrauterine pregnancy and an abdominal pregnancy with insertion of the placenta at the level of the broad left ligament with adhesion on the left annex, Omentum and small handles. Newborns did not require any special care outside the classical essential care. The first intrauterine had a weight of 2650 g and the second abdominal of 2000 g. The postoperative sequences were simple., (Le comitée de rédaction se réserve le droit de revoyer aux auteurs avant toute soumission à l'avis des lecteurs les manuscrits qui ne seraient pas conformes à ces modalités de présentation.

Objective: Determine prevalence of the depression in a population of patients chronic hemodialysis. Look for the associated sociodemographic, clinical and biological factors., Method: It was a transverse study. She concerned the at least 18-years-old patients, followed in the center of Hemodialysis of the CHU at the rate of 2 - 3 sessions a week. The patients having agreed, were in dialysis at least for 3 months and benefited from an individual interview through an index card of investigation based of Hamilton's scale French version in 17 items., Results: On a sample of 107 patients, the average age was 43, 24 ± 14 years old with extremes between 20 and 75 years. The average duration in dialysis was of ±40, 37 36, 5 months with extremes between 4 and 144 months. Prevalence of the depression was 88 %. The depression was light in 78, 5 %, moderated in 6,5% and severe in 3 %. The anemia was present at 94 patient's among whom 76 had a light depression., Conclusion: We observed that prevalence of the depression remains high to the chronic hemodialysis., (Le comitée de rédaction se réserve le droit de revoyer aux auteurs avant toute soumission à l'avis des lecteurs les manuscrits qui ne seraient pas conformes à ces modalités de présentation.

Aims: Determine the aetiologic factors and evaluate the result of our chirurgical treatment., Patients and Methods: It was about a prospective study done from October 1st 2005 to March 31,2007 on all women seen for urinary discomfort in whom cystocele have been found., Results: The hospital frequency of cystocele has been 3.54%. The mean age of our patients has been 48 years. In the patient history dystocic delivery have been found in 7 cases (43.75%), foetal macrosomia in 7 cases, chronic constipation in 1 case (6.25%) and 4 patients were menopausal. For the parity 10 patients were big multi pares, 3 were multi pares (18.75%), 2 were pauci pares (12.5%) and 1 were nullius pare. Cystocele were classed 1st degree in 3 patients, 2nd degree in 9 patients (56.25%) and 3rd degree in 4 others (25%). Anterior plasty of the vaginal wall was done in 11 patients (68.75%) and anterior and posterior plasty of the vaginal wall in 5 patients (31.25%). After 6 months, 62.5% of patients have a good anatomic result and 68.75% a good functional result. Anatomic results were bad in 6.25%. Cystocele is frequent in young women in Mali. It is often related to obstetrical trauma. A rapid diagnosis and care will improve the prognosis.
