Abstract Background Thousands of years of natural and artificial selection have resulted in indigenous cattle breeds that are well-adapted to the environmental challenges of their local habitat and thereby are considered as valuable genetic resources. Understanding the genetic background of such adaptation processes can help us design effective breeding objectives to preserve local breeds and improve commercial cattle. To identify regions under putative selection, GGP HD 150 K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays were used to genotype 106 individuals representing five Swedish breeds i.e. native to different regions and covering areas with a subarctic cold climate in the north and mountainous west, to those with a continental climate in the more densely populated south regions. Results Five statistics were incorporated within a framework, known as de-correlated composite of multiple signals (DCMS) to detect signatures of selection. The obtained p-values were adjusted for multiple testing (FDR

Introduction: Psoriasis is a chronic immune disorder that multiple factors are involved in its creation. Psoriasis is not curable but a large number of local and systemic treatments for psoriasis are available that can reduce symptoms and recurrence of the disease. Treatment is selected based on severity of illness, associated comorbidities, patient preference[including costs and convenience], and evaluation of the effectiveness of patient response to treatment. Methods: 94 cases included from patients admitted to the Sina dermatology clinic with diagnosis of psoriasis. They were randomly divided in two groups. First group treated with Calcipotriol alone while the second group treated with calcipotriol and NBUVB phototherapy. Results: According to the results of our study the subjects in the two groups in terms of sex, age, weight, height, history of systemic disease, duration of psoriasis, site of involvement and the extent of the lesions were not significantly differ. An average improvement in lesion thickness, erythema and scaling and investment, and improve overall recovery of waste per week in the fourth, eighth and twelfth week after treatment, In the second group were significantly higher than the first group. Conclusion: Daivonex cream in combination with NBUVB phototherapy has a faster and more recovery in a given time. Daivonex with NBUVB phototherapy can be used to provide better results.

The fact that ban Tvrtko of Bosnia had maternal ties with Nemanjić dynasty and seized certain areas of the former Serbian Empire was used as a basis for him to be crowned king of the Serbs and Bosnia in 1377 in the monastery of Mileševa over the grave of Saint Sava. His charter issued to the Ragusans in 1378 contains the term “double wreath” which figuratively symbolized the rule of Tvrtko I over two Serb-inhabited states, Bosnia and Serbia. Tvrtko’s choice not to annex the conquered territory to his own state, Bosnia, but to be crowned king of Serbia as well required the development of a new ideology of kingship and a new form of legitimation of power. Although his royal title was recognized by his neighbours, including probably the rest of the Serbian lands, that the project was unrealistic became obvious in the aftermath of the Battle of Kosovo in 1389. What remained after his death was only the royal title, while the state ruled by his successors became exclusively related to Bosnia. Yet, echoes of his coronation in medieval Bosnia can be followed in the further development of the title and of the concept of crown and state. Interestingly, an attempt to revive the double crown concept was made in the early fifteenth century by the king Sigismund of Hungary, who requested that the Bosnians crown him the way Tvrtko had been crowned.

The objective was to assess the risk factors for and to suggest therapeutic aspects., Materials and Methods: We carried out a case-control study at the Bougouni Reference health center in 2019., Results: From January to December 31, 2019; out of 1161 deliveries, 43 uterine rupture were recorded, 3.7% corresponding to one uterine rupture for 27 deliveries. Patients 35 years and older were more affected by uterine rupture (44.2%) with OR aIC95% = 6.3 [1.5 - 26.3]. Obstetric evacuations had an OR aIC95% = 25.6 [7.8-83.7]. All of the patients were housewives (97.7%) versus (82.3%) controls with ORaIC95% = 8.9 (1.1-69). Pauciparous and multiparous had an OR aIC95% = 6.2 [1.8 - 20.3] and 4.1 [1.3 - 12.9], respectively. The uterine scar (20.9%) of cases versus 8.1% of controls had a 95% OR aIC95% = 2.9 [1.1 - 8.7]. Indeed the absence of ANC was a risk factor, OR aIC95% = 3.0 [1.3 - 6.9]. The time to uterine rupture was < 6 hours in 95%. In fact 34 complete uterine rupture (79.1%) and 9 incomplete uterine rupture (20.9) were noted. Only 2.3% of cases gave birth vaginally. Treatment of uterine rupture was based on surgery (100%) supplemented by shock (51.2%) of cases and infection (100%) of cases., Conclusion: Uterine rupture is common in our countries under medical care. Its effective prevention involves strategies aimed at acting on risk factors., (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.

The rapid access of the population to basic and comprehensive health care determines the prognosis of the disease and decreases mortality and morbidity., Methodology: we carried out a prospective study over 12 months at the Bla Reference Health Center. All patients evacuated for obstetric complications were included. Women admitted on an emergency basis by self-referral were not included. The data was analyzed from the software Epi Info version: 3.5.4, the text entry from the software version Word 2013., Results: We recorded 430 evacuations or 42.36% of admissions to the maternity hospital in Bla. The patients were young under 20 years 17.9% (n = 77), nulliparous 22.1% (n = 95). They had not performed an antenatal consultation in 30.7% of cases (n = 132). Matrons evacuated in 50.2% of cases (n = 216). The transfer diagnosis was hemorrhage in 14.2% of cases. The main intervention performed was cesarean section (92.3% of cases). The evacuation time was greater than one hour in 95.1% (n = 21). The actors for the financing of the fund were the district council, the town halls and the Community Health Associations (ASACO). The mobilization rate of ASACOs was 82%, that of town halls 17%. The circle council did not pay its quota., Conclusion: A better financial involvement of the communities in the management of the evacuation reference system in the health district of Bla is a necessity., (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.

Objectives: The objectives were to describe the epidemiological and prognostic aspects of eclampsia in the Bougouni reference health center., Methods: This was a transversal prospective, descriptive study from January 1 to December 31, 2015 in the gynecology-obstetrics department of Bougouni reference health center. Were included, all pregnant or postpartum women diagnosed with eclampsia during the study period., Results: The frequency of eclampsia was 2.54%. They were adolescent girls in 50% of cases, primigest in 62.5% of cases, unschooled in 67.5% of cases, having not performed any antenatal care in 70% of cases. Eclampsia occurred in antepartum in 37.5% of cases, in 5% in perpartum and in 57.5% in postpartum. Therapeutically, nicardipine with 72.5% and nifedipine with 22.5% were the antihypertensive drugs used. As for anticonvulsants, magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) was used in 92.5% and diazepam in 7.5%. The maternal-fetal prognosis was marked by 2.5% of maternal death, 27% of prematurity and 27.5% of fetal death in utero., Conclusion: Eclampsia is a dreadful pathology with serious maternal and fetal complications., (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: placenta accretacauses severe postpartum haemorrhage. Our objective is to describe its diagnostic and therapeutic aspects as well as incidence at Timbuktu hospital., Observation: We have encountered one case of placenta accreta in six years, an occurrence of 1 in 6160 births. The patient was a 25-year-old multiparous woman with a history of a cesarean section, admitted to labor, without ultrasound performed during pregnancy. A placenta accreta was found during the caesarean section which was ordered due to stagnation of dilation. A cesarean section followed by hysterectomy was performed without complication. Anatomopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis by revealing an increta-type placenta., Conclusion: The incidences of placenta accreta are low in our practice. However, thisdiagnosis should always be discussed during prenatal consultationsin cases where anterior placenta is connected to a uterus with scar tissue, in which case an ultrasound is routinely ordered., (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.

Aim: To determine the frequency of the surgery wound infection, its favoring factors, causative germs and its antibiotic treatment of choice in the surgery "A" department of the University Hospital Point G., Method: In a retrospective descriptive study over a 6-month period in the surgery "A" department of the University Hospital Point G, we enrolled all patients who underwent surgery necessitating at least 48 hours of hospital admission during our study period and in conformity with the Atlanta CDC criteria. Surgery patients with less than 48 hours postoperative hospital stay and those admitted to the hospital without surgery were not included.After the surgery, the nature and location of the infection have been clarified. In this work, ethical considerations have been respected and there is no conflict of interest., Results: Two hundred and sixty-five (n=265) patient files were collected including 24 cases of surgery wound infection (a hospital frequency of 9%. The average age was 41.41 years (y.o) old with extremes of 7 y.o and 102 y.o. The sex ratio was 0.9 in favor of women. The commonly studied pathologies were digestive surgery in 52.8%, gynecological surgery in 24.5%, etc… Patients were seen in regular outpatient surgery visits in 75.8% and surgical emergencies in 24.2%. Of the patients urgently admitted, 26.5% presented an ISO; for those received in ordinary consultation it was 3.48%. Fifteen (15) cases were classified ASA III and two (2) ASA II. Based on the Altemeier classification, surgery was clean in 66.8% of our patients, contaminated clean in 12.4%, contaminated in 12.1%, and dirty in 8.7% (including half resulting in surgery wound infection). In total, 79% of patients whose surgeries lasted more than two (2) hours presented a surgery wound infection. Postoperative infection of patients was superficial in 58.3% and deep in 33.3%. In 8.3% of cases, it was a space infection. At the cytobacteriological examination of the pus from the operative site, Escherichia coli (E. coli) was the most common germ with 58.3%. E. coli was sensitive to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid in 57.14%. Surgically, a re-intervention was performed in 20.8% of cases, a secondary suture in 12.5%, and a single dressing in 66.7%. The average postoperative stay was 6.5 days with extremes of 2 days and 69 days. In 3 months postoperatively we recorded 4 cases of death., Conclusion: The surgery wound infection constitutes a major complication in a surgical environment starting with surgical act itself.Particular emphasis should be placed on prevention, which will reduce the risks of ISO occurrence., (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.

The trimellar pregnancy on bicicatricial uterus is a rare situation. It can be associated with many maternal-fetal complications. Given these risks, some teams opt for an embryonic reduction. We report a case of spontaneous trimellar pregnancy on bicicatricial uterus. This was a 38 year-old patient, third pregnancy, second birth, 2 alive with a history of 2 caesareans. The evolution of the pregnancy was marked by a urinary tract infection at 34 weeks of gestation. The caesarean section performed at 36 weeks of gestation allowed the birth of 3 newborns, 2 of which were females in 2000 and 1900 grams, and one male weighing 2400 grams. The postpartum was marked by a rapidly resolved eclampsia crisis., (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.

Aim: The aim was to compare the maternal-fetal prognosis of pregnancies in large multiparous with that of other parities., Materials and Methods: We conducted a case-control study from March 1 st , 2014 to February 1 st , 2015. It concerned all parturients admitted in our service during the study period. We have chosen 1 case for 2 witnesses. All the large multiparous were included as cases and as witnesses the primiparous, the pauciparous and the multiparous who gave birth just before and after the case. The statistical test was the Chi2 with a significance level at 5%., Results: The frequency of pregnancy in the large multiparous was 4.93%. They were housewives in 84% of cases, unschooled in 74.7% of cases. The maternal-fetal outcome was dominated by uterine rupture in 0.6% of cases, immediate postpartum hemorrhage in 9.8% of cases, vicious presentations in 5.5% of cases and cord prolapse in 6.8% of cases., Conclusion: Large multiparity is common in our practice. It is a high-risk pregnancy because of its many maternal-fetal complications., (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.

Objectif: the purpose of this work was to study the infections associated with the care in the department of gynecology - obstetrics of the University Hospital Center Gabriel Touré (CHU G. Touré)., Patients and Methods: This was an epidemiological, descriptive, and analytical study carried out in the gynecology-obstetrics department of G. Touré University Hospital, from April 11, 2016 to August 29, 2016 (4 monthset 18 days), with a prospective collection of data that focused on the characteristics clinical and laboratory-based care-associated infections in patients during their hospitalization. Included in the study were all hospitalized patients (operated or not) in the gynecology obstetrics department, who agreed to participate in the study. The criteria used to diagnose the infection associated with care were those of the CDC Atlanta and making a thick drop in our context. Operative wound monitoring was performed until the 30th postoperative day., Results: We recorded 200 patients, including 138 operated and 62 nonoperated patients, of which 30 patients developed a care-associated infection at a rate of 15%. The mean age of the patients who presented an infection was 32.52 years ± 13.36 years against 29.36 years ± 10.28 years for the patients who did not present the infection. Seven point five percent of the evacuees had an infection associated with care. The most common types of infections were surgical site infection with 56.60% followed by malaria with 23.30% and urinary tract infection with 20.00%. Escherichia coli and Acinetobacter baumanii were the most recovered germs. Isolated organisms were 100% resistant to Amoxicillin, 88.88% were resistant to Ciprofloxacin and 77.77% were resistant to Amoxicillin + Clavulanic acid. The average duration of hospitalization for patients who developed the infection was 14.70 days with extremes of 5 and 46 days. The mortality rate was 1.50%. The average cost of management of patients who developed the infection was 119837 FCFA; the extremes were 17750 and 825750 FCFA and the standard deviation of 174998 CFA francs., Conclusion: the infections associated with the care remain frequent in our service and dominated by the infections of the operating site. The isolated organisms were all 100% resistant to Amoxicillin in 88.88% Ciprofloxacin., (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.

Goal: The goal was to assess the maternal-fetal prognosis of anemia in pregnant women in the Bougouni reference health center., Methods: We carried out a prospective descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study from January 1 to December 31, 2013 at the Bougouni reference health center. It covered all pregnant women with a hemoglobin level below 11g/dl regardless of the outcome of the pregnancy., Results: The prevalence of anemia in pregnant women was 33.2%. They were women married to peasants in 88.6% of cases, unschooled in 93.2% of cases, having not done antenal care in 56.8% of cases. Malaria was the most common etiology in 75% of cases. Anemia was severe in 61.4% of cases. The maternal-fetal prognosis was dominated by 3.3% of maternal death, 12.5% of abortion, 7.6% of prematurity and 6.8% of fetal death in utero., Conclusion: Anemia in pregnant women is the source of many maternal-fetal complications., (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.

Purpose: Delays to access to radiotherapy are long in our context. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy to concomitant chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced cervical cancers., Patients and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study from April 2014 to April 2016 at the radiotherapy center of "Hopital du Mali" in Bamako, Mali. Patients were allocated according to age, histological type, tumor size and the 2002 classification of the FIGO. Experimental protocol was the administration of a neoadjuvante chemotherapy with association of Paclitaxel 175mg/m 2 + Carboplatine AUC 5 every 3 weeks and radiothérapy cure with avec linac 6 MV at 70 Gy due to 5 sessions of 2 Gy per week associated with a concomitant chemotherapy with cisplatin at 40 mg/m2/week. The clinical response was assessed at the end of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and of concomitant chemoradiotherapy., Results: Thirty patients were included in the study. The mean age was 53.63 ± 8.9 years. The mean size of the tumor was 5.17 cm (2 to 7 cm). According to the 2002 classification of the FIGO stages IIB were 33% (n = 10); IIIB were 57% (n = 17) and IVA were 10% (n = 3). Clinical evaluation at the end of neoadjuvant chemotherapy found: complete response 17 % (n = 5), partial response 10% (n = 3) and stable disease 73 % (n = 22). Evaluation at the end of the concomitant chemoradiotherapy had found the complete response in 90% (n = 27) and stable disease in 10% (n = 3)., Conclusion: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy to concomitant chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced cervical cancer allows stabilization of the tumor and improves local control. Due to long delays to access to radiotherapy treatment in our context; neoadjuvant chemotherapy is an alternative to stabilize the disease and prevent distant metastasis from locally advanced cervical cancers., (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.

Goal: The aim of this study was to compare the maternal-fetal prognosis of pregnancies at 40 years of age and above with that of pregnancies obtained before 40 years of age in the obstetric gynecology department of the reference health center of commune II of Bamako district., Materials and Methods: This was a prospective cohort study that was conducted at the maternity ward of Reference Health Center of Commune II of Bamako district from 1st January to 31 December 2012. Were included in our study as patients exposed, all the pregnant women of 40 years and over and as unexposed patients, pregnant women aged 20-39 who gave birth in our service. Teenage pregnancies were not included in this study. The statistical tests used were Pearson's Khi2 and Fisher's test with a significance level of 5%., Results: The frequency of pregnancy among women aged 40 and over was 1.68%. These were large multiparas unschooled patients in 60% of cases, with hypertension in 6.7% of cases. Pregnancy in her patients was associated with a high rate of caesarean section in 16.7% of cases, term overrun in 6.7% of cases, seat presentation in 6.7% of cases, macrosomia in 6.7% of cases and fetal malformation in 1.7% of cases., Conclusion: Slight account of its many maternal-fetal complications, pregnancies in women 40 years and older deserve special attention., (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.

Background: Newborn screening for sickle cell anemia is necessary in Africa where the disease is more frequent. Hemoglobin electrophoresis is used for screening, but is limited by a high cost and difficult access. Sickling test (Emmel test), which is more affordable and technically more accessible, is often requested for prenatal assessment of pregnant women in West African areas to reserve screening for newborns from mothers in whom the positive sickling test attests the presence of hemoglobin S. This study aims to evaluate the number of undetected sickle cell anemia newborns by a screening policy targeting only newborns from mothers in whom a sickling test would have been positive., Methods: From 2010 to 2012, in Bamako, Mali, West Africa, 2489 newborns were routinely screened for sickle cell anemia at the umbilical cord or heel by isoelectrofocusing and, if necessary, by high-performance liquid chromatography. These newborns were born from 2420 mothers whose hemoglobin was studied by isoelectrofocusing. The data was recorded and processed using Excel software version 14.0.0. We calculated the frequency of the sickle cell gene in mothers and newborns as well as the number of SCA newborns from heterozygous or C homozygous mothers., Results: Of the 2489 newborns, 16 had sickle cell anemia (6 SS and 10 SC); 198 had the sickle cell trait; 139 were AC and 1 was CC. Of the 10 newborns with SC profile, 3 were born from mothers not carrying the S gene but the C gene of hemoglobin and in which an Emmel test would have been negative., Conclusion: Targeted newborn screening, based on the results of sickling test in pregnant women, would misdiagnose more than one of six sickle cell anemia newborns who would not benefit from early care. Cost-effectiveness studies of routine newborn screening for sickle cell anemia should lead to a better screening strategy in contexts where hemoglobin S and other hemoglobin defect genes coexist., (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Objective: This research aimed to analyze the epidemio- clinical characteristic and the prognosis of patients with eclampsia admitted to the intensive care unit at the University Hospital of Point G., Materials and Methods: The clinical records of all patients admitted to intensive care for eclampsia from September 2009 to February 2011 were retrospectively collected. We analyzed the following parameters: age, parity, gravidity, the admission deadline, the beginning of eclampsia compared to the term of pregnancy, the number of seizure, mode of delivery, score of Glasgow, blood pressure, proteinuria, complications and evolution., Results: Among 702 admissions, 158 patients, with a mean age of 20 ± 4 were hospitalized for eclampsia (22.5%). We recorded 106 cases of first pregnancies (67.1%) and 104 primiparous (65.8%). The admission period after the first seizure was over 6 hours for 90 patients (57%). The first seizure had occurred in ante-partum period for 69 patients, in per-partum period for 4 patients and in postpartum period for 85 patients., Ninety-three patients (59%) had consciousness disorders at admission, 12 patients received oxygen treatment .Vaginal delivery was the mode of delivery for 93 patients and cesarean section for 65 patients.Eclampsia was associated with renal failure in 25 patients, HELLP syndrome for 15 patients, the stroke for 5 patients, acute pulmonary edema for 3 patients, the coagulation disorders for one patient; and the sepsis for 6 patients. Maternal and perinatal lethality was 9.5% and 10.8% respectively., Conclusion: Eclampsia is a frequent medical and obstetric emergency in intensive care unit of the University Hospital of Point G and affects young patients during their first pregnancy and delivery. Maternal and perinatal lethality remains high, due to the delay in the cases management and the associated factors of gravity. Strong actions are needed to raise awareness for early medical visit and to prepare medical teams for better cases management., (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: To describe maternal and fetal complications during delivery of mutilated women., Materials and Methods: It was a case study, witnesses with matching going from February 1st, 2008 till January 31st, 2009 which took place in Mopti's region. We compared maternal and fetal complications of mutilated and non-mutilated women. Using statistical tests were Chi(2) (P<0.05), Odd-Ratio (OR) and its 95% confident interval (CI95%)., Results: We recorded 410 deliveries among which 280 mutilated women (68%). One hundred and forty excised women were included. There is a significant difference between duration of eviction>30 mm (RC=8.27 [4.66-14.76], P<0.001); simple perennials lacerations (RC=14.54 [4.79-49.56], P<0.001) and full perennials lacerations (RC=8.90 [1.91-57.23], P<0.001) in the two groups. The scores of morbid Apgar (RC=9.70 [4.35-22,29], P<0.001) were more important in groups of cases. Moreover, we recorded 3 neonatal deaths and 4 complicated perennials lacerations in the group of cases only., Conclusion: Maternal and fetal complications are significantly more important for the excised woman's than for the not excised women., (Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Aim: to evaluate the contribution of laparoscopic surgery in the management of chronic abdominal pains of unspecified etiology., Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted over a period of 49 months (March 2008 to March 2012), in the surgery A service of the Point G university hospital., Results: 52 patients suffering from chronic abdominal pain for 3 months have been listed. There were 36 women and 16 men, with a sex-ratio of 2.25. The pathologies found in laparoscopy were: 16 cases of adherences, 16 cases of gynaecological diseases, 6 cases of chronic appendicitis, 5 cases of chronic cholecystitis, 6 cases of abdominal tumors and 3 cases of intrauterine contraceptives in abdomen. Conversion to laparotomy was not made and mortality was null. No lesion was found in 11.54% of cases. The mean duration of hospitalization was 2 days. The duration of follow-up of the patients was 18 months with a minimum of 6 months and a maximum of 24 months. No painful symptomatology was found in 6 months in 88.46% of the cases. Persistent stomach pains were found in 3% of the cases. 8.54% of the patients had an improvement of symptomatology., Conclusion: Chronic abdominal pains put a diagnosis problem in surgery. Laparoscopy is a reference technique to diagnose this pain and to discuss them., (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.
