Introduction: High blood pressure is a major cardiovascular risk factor. Patients with cardiovascular risk factors are at risk of developing COVID-19. The objective of this study was to determine epidemiology of Covid-19 infected in patients with high blood pressure., Patients and Method: Descriptive cross-sectional study from April 2020 to June 2020 about patients hospitalized for Covid 19 by PCR diagnosis at the Hopital du Mali Bamako and having high blood pressure. Admission registry and patient charts were used to collect data., Results: We collected 78 out of 484 in patients which mean hospital frequency of 16.11%. The mean age was 55.21 +/- 14.61 years. Sex ratio M / F was 1.36. Patients were followed for high blood pressure in 59% of cases. Medical history was ischemic heart disease in 2.6% and dilated cardiomyopathy in 2.6%. Main functional signs were cough in 41.02% and lost of taste in 11.53%. High blood pressure on admission was grade 2 in 37.2% and grade 3 in 3.8%. Treatments received were calcium channel blockers 41.02%, inhibitors of the reninangiotensinaldosterone system 16.66% and combinations 15.38%. Hospital mortality was 10.3%. There was no statistically significant difference in mortality between known hypertensive patients and de novo hypertensive patients. There was also no statistically significant difference in mortality by grade of hypertension., Conclusion: High blood pressure can be associated to Covid 19. Treatment is based on calcium channel blockers and reninangiotensinaldosterone system inhibitors. It has an impact on the prognosis of the disease with significant mortality., (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.

This study aims to contribute to improving the health quality of fish products in Mali. Conducted in 2O12, this was a qualitative and quantitative cross-sectional questionnaire study with 80 fresh fish processed into smoked fish. The main results were: traditional mud oven was used in 58.75% of cases; wood was used as fuel by 67.75% of transformers and cow dung by others; smoked fish was kept in recovery cartons and mats woven locally made in 66.25% of cases; waste removal was done daily in only 33.75% of cases. For fresh fish, 53.75% of the samples contain mercury with an average value of 0.047 mg/kg MB and a maximum of 0.270 mg/kg for a European standard of 0.500 mg/kg MB and 71.25% MB contained lead at an average value of 0.020 mg/kg MB and a maximum of 8.570 mg/kg MB for a European standard of 0.300 mg/kg MB. For smoked fish all samples contained mercury with minimum value of 0.010 mg/kg MB, an average of 0.200 mg/kg and maximum MB 1.260 mg/kg MB and 95% contained lead with a minimum value of 0.020 mg/kg MB, an average of 0.270 mg/kg MB and a maximum of 3,460 mg/kg MB. As the average value of lead for Smoked Fish Wood was 0.285 mg/kg MB against 0.248 mg/kg for one MB Smoked cow dung with a Kruskal-Wallis significant statistical test., (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.

Unlabelled: The goal of this work was to study the possible use of the food cubes in bovines' and the small ruminants' feeding in Bamako district and to evaluate its potential effects on these animals' libido., Material and Methods: To undertake this study, a transversal investigation among 384 emboucheurs and emboucheurs stockbreeders were carried out from 22 to 24 April, 2007 in 11 cattle markets in the District of Bamako. The study included 20 Moor rams aged 2 to 3 years old, divided into 4 batches of 5 heads each; 15 Moor ewes aged 2 to 3 years old were synchronized regularly and put in heat for measurements of the libido. The sheep were fed with food made up with fan of Niébé and cotton oil cake, with respectively 0 cubes jumbo for the 1st batch (control group), 2 cubes for the 2nd batch and 4 cubes for 3rd and 6 cubes for the 4th batch (the study groups)., Results: Finding showed that the principal ration used by the emboucheurs was the combination of straw of bush and cattle food provided by HUICOMA factories (ABH), 98,70%. The investigations revealed also that only 0,50% of the emboucheurs used the cubes Jumbo or Maggi chicken to accelerate the weight increase of their animals. Regarding the measurement of the libido, findings showed that the addition of food cubes in rams of batches II, III and IV feeding, reduced in a remarkable way time that these animals put before jumping in the presence of a ewe in heat. Regarding dimensions of the scrotum, testicles of the rams, the addition of the food cubes does have any influence., Conclusion: The study enabled us to affirm that the addition of food cubes in rams feeding improved considerably the libido of these animals and any impact on their health have been observed.
