Description of the subject. Due to the potential hazards caused by pathogenic bacteria, farm dairy production remains a challenge from the point of view of food safety. As part of a public program to support farm diversification and short food supply chains, farm dairy product samples including yogurt, ice cream, raw-milk butter and cheese samples were collected from 318 Walloon farm producers between 2006 and 2014. Objectives. Investigation of the microbiological quality of the Belgian dairy products using the guidelines provided by the European food safety standards. Method. The samples were collected within the framework of the self-checking regulation. In accordance with the European Regulation EC 2073/2005, microbiological analyses were performed to detect and count Enterobacteriaceae, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Results. Even when results met the microbiological safety standards, hygienic indicator microorganisms like E. coli and S. aureus exceeded the defined limits in 35% and 4% of butter and cheese samples, respectively. Unsatisfactory levels observed for soft cheeses remained higher (10% and 2% for S. aureus and L. monocytogenes respectively) than those observed for pressed cheeses (3% and 1%) and fresh cheeses (3% and 0%) (P ≥ 0.05). Furthermore, the percentages of samples outside legal limits were not significantly higher in the summer months than in winter months for all mentioned bacteria. Conclusions. This survey showed that most farm dairy products investigated were microbiologically safe. However, high levels of hygiene indicators (e.g., E. coli) in some products, like butter, remind us of applying good hygienic practices at every stage of the dairy production process to ensure consumer safety.

Bacillus cereus, flour, pathogen, emetic strain - Abstract
Bacillus cereus is a pathogen associated with diarrheal and emetic food borne illness. However, in Africa, the prevalence of food borne infections attributable to this bacterium is difficult to establish accurately. Given the involvement of farinaceous foods in the majority of emetic outbreak and the dietary habits in Ivory Coast, implying an increase in the consumption of traditionally produced flours, the prevalence of Bacillus cereus and emetic strains associated to local flours produced in Abidjan were assessed. In this purpose, 100 samples of millet, maize and cassava flours were collected from five different Abidjan municipalities. Microbiological analysis were carried out in accordance with the standard EN ISO 7932 : 2004 and the European regulation EC 2073/2005, to enumerate the Bacillus cereus.. Bacillus cereus strains isolated were screened by polymerase chain reaction, for emetic strains detection. Overall, 31 (31 %) of maize, millet and cassava flours were positive for Bacillus cereus, at levels below 103 CFU/g. Comparing the five municipalities, the concentration of Bacillus cereus was not significantly different (PBacillus cereus et de souches emetiques dans les farines locales de Cote d'Ivoire Bacillus cereus est un pathogène alimentaire responsable de toxi-infection diarrhéique et émétique. Le syndrome émétique est généralement associé aux aliments farineux. Compte tenu de l’implication des aliments farineux dans les toxi-infections émétiques et de la grande consommation de farines localement produites en Côte d’Ivoire, la prévalence de B. cereus a été évaluée dans cette denrée. 100 échantillons de farines de mil, de maïs et de manioc ont été collectés dans cinq communes d’Abidjan. Des analyses microbiologiques ont été effectuées conformément à la norme EN ISO 7932: 2004 et à la réglementation européenne CE 2073/2005, afin de dénombrer les Bacillus Cereus et identifier les souches émétiques. Cet pathogène était présent dans 31 (31 % ) des farines de maïs, de mil et de manioc, à des concentrations inférieures à 103 UFC /g. Cette concentration n’est pas significativement différente (p

Background and Aim: Trichinellosis is a neglected and emerging foodborne zoonosis in Africa. Trichinella infection occurs through the consumption of raw or undercooked infected meat and meat products. This study aimed to assess pigs' management practices and determine the exposure of pigs and warthogs to Trichinella spp. in the northern area of Senegal. Materials and Methods: Surveys and observations were carried out among 40 pig farmers to assess husbandry practices regarding Trichinella spp. life cycle. In addition, 201 pig meat juices and 83 warthog meat juices were extracted and tested for anti-Trichinella antibodies by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: Most (97%) of farms practiced a traditional farming system with free-ranging of pigs in 85% of farms. Farms had local pig breed without housing and supplementary feeding. Some farmers (27.5%) used slaughter waste to feed pigs and farmers were not aware that free-range farming is a source of infection to Trichinella infection. They were also unaware that some pig diseases could be transmitted to humans. The seroprevalence of Trichinella infection was 10.9% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 6.6–15.2%) in pigs and 10.8% (95% CI: 4.16–17.52%) in warthogs with significantly higher seroprevalence in male (22.2%: 95% CI: 6.6–37.8%) compared to female (9.2%; 95% CI: 4.9–13.5%) (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The confirmation of exposure to Trichinella spp. in this area in pigs and warthogs shows a significant risk of transmission of this disease to humans if the farming conditions and the health surveillance system are not respected. However, control measures are needed to reduce any risk of transmission of Trichinella infection to humans.

Résumé : L'article présente la détermination nominale du cira, une langue gur, parlée dans le Nord-Est de la Côte d'Ivoire. Dans ce travail, l’analyse a porté sur les unités du lexique employées pour marquer le possessif, l’actualisateur nominal, le démonstratif et le numéral dans cette langue. Il s’agissait de définir leurs positions syntaxiques. Il ressort de cette étude que les déterminants nominaux du cira sont soit préposés soit postposés aux noms qu’ils déterminent. En effet, le possessif en cira est toujours préposé au nom qu’il détermine. Tous les pronoms possessifs sont identiques aussi bien au singulier qu’au pluriel aux formes des pronoms personnels du cira. Au pluriel, ces pronoms ne changent pas de forme. C’est plutôt l’objet possédé qui porte la marque du nombre. Concernant l’actualisateur nominal, l’on relève qu’il est toujours préposé au nom. Cet actualisateur correspond très imparfaitement au défini. Il marque plus généralement que l’objet mentionné est repéré dans la situation d’énonciation. Il est marqué par le morphème [a] en cira et est invariable. Quant au démonstratif, il est toujours postposé au nom. Contrairement au possessif qui n’a pas de forme au pluriel parce que c’est l’objet possédé qui porte la marque du pluriel, le démonstratif lui a une forme au singulier et au pluriel. Enfin, le numéral en cira comme déterminant est toujours postposé au nom qu’il détermine.

Le cira, langue minoritaire de Côte d’Ivoire est longtemps restée méconnue.Contrairement au baoulé qui a une population de près de 4 millions, le nombre des Cira est estimé à 129(INS-RGHP: 2014). A ce jour, il y’a peu de travaux qui sont dédiés à cette langue et à ce peuple. Dans cet article, nous présentons l’organisation sociale des Cira et la sémantique des prénoms cira. La société cira comme toute société à sa propre organisation qui lui permet de bien fonctionner. Elle est régie par des règles et des lois que toute personne appartenant à cette communauté doit respecter. De même l’appartenance à un peuple, à une culture peut être définie par l’identité, le nom. D’où cette étude. Le nom en tant que signifiant peut traduire une vision, exprimer un sentiment ou raconter une histoire.

Choriocarcinoma - Ovary - Surgery - Chemotherapy - Abstract
Ovarian choriocarcinomas are rare malignant germinal tumours representing 1 % of all ovarian tumours. There are two main types: the gestational (which are more frequent), and the non-gestational ovarian types. The authors report one case in a 43 years old patient (G5 Para 3) with a history of two abortions, and highlight the therapeutic difficulties encountered. She was referred to the Gynaecology Service of the University Teaching Hospital Treichville, Abidjan, for the management of a left ovarian choriocarcinoma, confirmed on histological examination after total hysterectomy. The management of the patient in our health facility did not permit us to determine whether it was of gestational origin or not. Moreover, it was very difficult choosing an effective therapeutic regimen, and finally a combination of cyclophosphamide, adriblastine, cisplatin gave complete biological and clinical remission.Les choriocarcinomes ovariens font partie intégrante des tumeurs germinales malignes. Très rares, elles ne représentent que 1% de l\'ensemble des tumeurs ovariennes. On distingue 2 types principaux : ceux d\'origine gestationnelle qui sont les plus fréquents et ceux d\'origine non gestationnelle. Les auteurs rapportent un cas de choriocarcinome ovarien, en insistant sur les difficultés thérapeutiques rencontrées. Il s\'agissait d\'une patiente de 43 ans, 5ème geste, 2ème pare avec 2 interruptions de grossesse. Elle a été adressée au service de gynécologie du Centre Hospitalier et Universitaire de Treichville à Abidjan (Côte d\'Ivoire), pour prise en charge d\'un choriocarcinome ovarien. Ce diagnostic avait été confirmé après un examen histologique de la tumeur ovarienne gauche après hystérectomie totale. La prise en charge de la patiente dans notre contexte de travail a montré non seulement l\'impossibilité de déterminer l\'origine gestationnelle ou non gestationnelle de la tumeur, mais surtout les difficultés dans le choix des protocoles thérapeutiques. Dans notre cas l\'association cyclophosphamide, adriblastine, cysplatine a permis la rémission complète biologique et donc la guérison. Keywords: Choriocarcinoma - Ovary - Surgery - Chemotherapy.

Gossypium ,F30 - Génétique et amélioration des plantes - Abstract
Un diallèle incluant 4 parents et leurs 12 hybrides a été conduit simultanément au Cameroun, en Côte d'Ivoire, au Tchad et au Togo, dans 4 stations de recherche faisant partie du réseau coton du CIRAD-CA (ex IRCT) en Afrique. On estime que les parents sont représentatifs d'une population de géniteurs d'élite à l'échelle de ce réseau, et qu'ils appartiennent à la gamme de variétés à fibre de longueur moyenne. En conséquence, l'analyse de variance des aptitudes à la combinaison est conduite selon la méthode III de Griffing. Elle suit un modèle à effets aléatoires, qui permet d'estimer les variances des effets génétiques simples ou en interaction avec le milieu. Vingt-huit caractéristiques sont étudiées : 7 concernent l'agronomie, 10 la fibre, 7 le fil et 4 la graine. L'analyse des aptitudes à la combinaison montre qu'en général la variabilité des caractéristiques étudiées est significative. De plus, les effets génétiques simples, en particulier l'aptitude générale à la combinaison (AGC), sont prédominants sauf pour le rendement et ses composantes. L'aptitude spécifique à la combinaison est équivalente à l'AGC pour la longueur de la fibre et le poids de la graine. Les effets maternels peuvent être considérés comme négligeables. Les corrélations entre valeur propre et aptitude générale en croisement sont très souvent élevées pour les variables décrivant la qualité. Elles sont plus faibles pour les variables plus complexes comme le rendement. L'héritabilité de la taille, de la précocité de floraison, du nombre de capsules portées par les branches végétatives est assez élevée. C'est également le cas pour la plupart des caractéristiques de la fibre (uniformité, finesse, maturité et ténacité), pour la résistance du fil, pour le pourcentage de fibre et le poids de la graine. L'estimation des variances génétiques justifie, dans de nombreux cas (précocité de floraison, production des branches fructifères, longueur, ténacité, allongement, colorimétrie et finesse de la fibre), l'évaluation du comportement d'un génotype parental dans une seule localité et l'extension des conclusions à d'autres localités. Cette procédure ne peut être appliquée dans le cas du poids capsulalre, du poids de la graine et de la teneur en huile. Enfin, cet article montre l'intérêt du modèle d'analyse diallèle. Il tente de conclure, pour chacune des variables prises en compte, sur la variabilité génétique de la population échantillonnée et sur la façon de traiter les effets d'interaction génotype x milieu. Le sélectionneur pourra apprécier l'intérêt du dispositif diallèle et l'apport du dispositif multilocal.

Gossypium ,F30 - Génétique et amélioration des plantes - Abstract
Quatre variétés ou lignées élites, sélectionnées dans le cadre du réseau coton africain, et leurs douze hybrides sont étudiés simultanément dans deux localités d'Afrique de l'Ouest, en Côte d'Ivoire et au Togo, et dans deux localités d'Afrique centrale, au Cameroun et au Tchad. La comparaison des variances résiduelles ne permet pas de mettre en évidence une quelconque différence d'homéostase entre les parents et les hybrides. Par contre, il semble que les parents manifestent pour un petit nombre de variables technologiques (longueur et ténacité) une plus grande réactivité aux variations du milieu. L'hétérosis moyen n'est Important que pour le rendement (+22 %). Il se réalise par une augmentation du poids capsulaire (+9 %) et du nombre de capsules par plant (+12 %). Exprimé par rapport au meilleur parent, l'hétérosis du rendement reste positif (+9 %). Parmi les caractéristiques technologlques, seules les longueurs 2,5 % S.L. et 50 % S.L. et la teneur en huile de la graine sont significativement hétérotiques (+2 %).Parmi les composantes de l'hétérosis, c'est l'hétérosis moyen qui joue le rôle le plus important, l'hétérosis parental étant presque toujours négligeable. Globalement, l'hétérosis moyen pour le rendement varie peu en valeur relative, quel que soit le niveau de production de l'essai, tandis que l'hétérosis moyen pour la longueur reste sensiblement constant. Les interactions entre hétérosis et milieu sont cependant détectables.

Intéraction génotype environnement ,Gossypium hirsutum ,Corrélation génétique ,F30 - Génétique et amélioration des plantes - Abstract
Au sein d'un groupe de génotypes, constitué de quatre lignées et de leurs douze hybrides observés dans quatre lieux avec quatre répétitions par lieu, on a pu étudier les corrélations simples entre six variables agronomiques et dix variables technologiques de la fibre ou de la graine. Les corrélations phénotypiques sont décomposées en corrélations entre composantes génétiques, environnementales et d'interaction entre génotypes et milieu. La comparaison des structures de corrélations obtenues permet de décrire les effets indirects d'une pression de sélection portant sur un caractère. Elle permet également de montrer les limites des études multivariées portant sur des corrélations phénotypiques entre caractères. Les corrélations environnementales et génétiques diffèrent sensiblement dans plusieurs cas, par exemple entre la précocité et la production des branches végétatives, entre le rendement à l'égrenage et la finesse standard, entre la longueur 50 % S.L. et la ténacité ou la finesse, entre la ténacité et l'allongement, entre la finesse et le poids des graines

Les quatre stations de recherche cotonnière au Cameroun, en Côte-d'Ivoire, au Tchad et au Togo ont désigné chacune un géniteur pour participer à une expérience de diallèle multilocal. Dans la population de variétés qui présentent des fibres de longueur moyenne, on a considéré que ces quatre génotypes constituaient un échantillon de géniteurs d'élite disponibles au sein du réseau africain auquel participe l'IRCT. Cette deuxième partie situe ces variétés ou lignées dans leur contexte génétique. La description de ces variétés permet de connaître la variabilité de la population d'où sont issus ces génotypes et de déterminer la portée des conclusions que l'on peut attendre de la suite de cette étude.

Une expérience de croisements diallèles entre quatre géniteurs a été mise en place dans quatre stations de sélection cotonnière du réseau africain de l'IRCT. L'ensemble de ces résultats est présenté dans une série de cinq articles. Cette première partie décrit le dispositif mis en place dans chaque localité, ainsi que la variabilité du milieu de l'expérience. L'effet de la localité est significatif pour les vingt-neuf caractéristiques mesurées. On retiendra surtout son impact sur la production portée par les branches fructifères ou par les branches végétatives. L'effet localité influe aussi sur l'uniformité, l'indice de jaune et la finesse de la fibre, sur les paramètres de régularité du fil (points gros, nepposité, uniformité) et sur le rendement à l'égrenage. Cette variabilité géographique se structure selon deux axes. Le premier rend compte de la différence entre les stations de sélection d'Afrique centrale, d'une part et les deux stations d'Afrique de l'Ouest, d'autre part. Le second axe distingue le semis précoce du semis tardif (Togo)

- Abstract
Background: Despite the development of positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) still accounts for around 80% of all examinations performed in nuclear medicine departments. The search for new radiotracers or chelating agents for Technetium-99m is therefore still ongoing. O-TRENSOX and O-TRENOX two synthetic siderophores would be good candidates for this purpose as they are hexadentate ligands based on the very versatile and efficient 8-hydroxyquinoline chelating subunit. First, the radiolabeling of O-TRENOX and O-TRENSOX with
99m Tc was investigated. Different parameters such as the quantity of chelating agent, type of reducing agent, pH and temperature of the reaction mixture were adjusted in order to find the best radiolabeling conditions. Then an assessment of the partition coefficient by measuring the distribution of each radiosynthesized complex between octanol and phosphate-buffered saline was realized. The complex's charge was evaluated on three different celluloses (neutral, negatively charged P81 and positively charged DE81), and finally in vivo studies with biodistribution and SPECT imaging of [99m Tc]Tc-O-TRENOX and [99m Tc]Tc-O-TRENSOX were performed., Results: The radiolabeling studies showed a rapid and efficient complexation of99m Tc with both chelating agents. Using tin pyrophosphate as the reducing agent and a minimum of 100 nmol of ligand, we obtained the [99m Tc]Tc-O-TRENOX complex with a radiochemical purity of more than 98% and the [99m Tc]Tc-O-TRENSOX complex with one above 97% at room temperature within 5 min. [99m Tc]Tc-O-TRENOX complex was lipophilic and neutral, leading to a hepatobiliary elimination in mice. On the contrary, the [99m Tc]Tc-O-TRENSOX complex was found to be hydrophilic and negatively charged. This was confirmed by a predominantly renal elimination in mice., Conclusions: These encouraging results allow us to consider the O-TRENOX/99m Tc and O-TRENSOX/99m Tc complexes as serious candidates for SPECT imaging chelators. This study should be continued by conjugating these tris-oxine ligands to peptides or antibodies and comparing them with the other bifunctional agents used with Tc., (© 2023.

- Abstract
Objective: To report our therapeutic approach toward catamenial hemothorax., Patients and Methods: This retrospective study from January 1994 to November 2018 concerned patients operated under general anesthesia for catamenial hemothorax. A posterolateral thoracotomy approach was implemented either directly or after primary videothoracoscopy. Six-month hormone therapy was systematically prescribed postoperatively. The result was assessed in terms of occurrence or non-occurrence of hemothorax upon resumption of menses after discontinuation of hormone therapy., Results: Eleven patients were selected, with an average age was 32years (25-41). Catamenial hemothorax was associated with hemorrhagic ascites in 5 cases. Endometriotic plaques in the form of diaphragmatic fenestrations were found nine times and were resected (1 case) or covered by a synthetic non-absorbable patch (8 cases). Pleural symphysis completed the surgical procedures. The one hormone used was triptorelin. Mortality was zero. Mean postoperative hospital stay was 10.24days and mean follow-up was 3.5years. One patient was lost to follow-up at 3months. One hemothorax recurrence was observed after discontinuation of hormone therapy at 4months [1], and repeated pleural punctures were carried out while awaiting revision surgery. The five cases of ascites recurred and the patients were monitored in the gynecology unit., Conclusion: In patients suffering from catamenial hemothorax with diaphragmatic fenestrations, we recommend phrenoplasty using synthetic patches associated with pleural talcage and 6-month complementary concomitant hormone therapy., (Copyright © 2022 SPLF.

- Abstract
Background: Immediate postpartum intrauterine device (PPIUD) is a good solution for reducing low contraceptive coverage in developing countries. However, its use in HIV-infected women is poorly documented. The objective of this study was to assess whether the risk of PPIUD complications was higher in HIV-infected women., Methods: A retrospective cohort study compared 64 HIV-infected women to 128 HIV-negative women who had had a PPIUD at the University Hospital of Treichville between January 2016 and March 2017, with a match at the insertion time of the PPIUD. The complications considered were pelvic pain, metrorrhagia and genital infections. Chi-squared test and relative risk were used to investigate the association between HIV infection and PPIUD complications., Results: HIV-infected patients had an average age of 33.1 years, and 85.9% of them were on antiretroviral therapy. PPIUD was inserted during cesarean section in 66.1% of cases. There was no significant association between HIV infection and PPIUD complications (RR = 0.7, 95% CI [0.4-1.3], p = 0.3). The risk of genital infections was not increased in HIV-infected women (RR = 0.6 [0.1-2.7], p = 0.7)., Conclusion: HIV infection does not increase the risk of PPIUD complications. This effective contraceptive strategy can be offered to HIV-infected women.

- Abstract
Introduction: Family planning is a high impact strategy to reduce maternal mortality and to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV. This study aims to describe contraceptive practices of HIV-infected women followed upon an ambulatory basis at the Treichville University Hospital., Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive multicenter survey of people living with HIV in the ambulatory care units of the Treichville University Hospital from 1 April to 30 June 2016. During this period, all HIV positive patients of childbearing age attending the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the Pneumophtisiology Department, the Department of Dermatovenereology and the Department of internal medicine were invited to complete a standardized questionnaire on the sociodemographic, medical characteristics and the contraceptive practices., Results: In total, 283 women agreed to participate in the study, their median age was 36 years with an average parity of 1.7. Patients were nulliparous in only 22.3% of cases and lived with a partner in 54.8% of cases. They had no child with the current partner in 68.2% of cases. The partner was informed about their HIV status in 51.6% of cases. They were under antiretroviral treatment in 92.9% of cases with a median mean CD4 of 382 cells/mL. The majority of patients (62.9%) declared that they were using a modern contraceptive method. They mainly used progestin injectable (45.5%) and contraceptive implant (32.6%). The practice of dual protection was reported by only 17.4% of them. Secondary and higher education (OR=2.23 [1,35-3,69], p=0.01), multiparity (OR=1.84 [1,11-3,06], p=0.002) and revelation of HIV positive status to the partner (OR=1.86 [1,14-3,03], p<0.01) were factors significantly associated with the use of contraception., Conclusion: Based on our experience, contraceptive practices in women infected with HIV are generally discouraging. It is essential to develop strategies to improve the integration of family planning into the management of HIV-infected women., Competing Interests: Les auteurs ne déclarent aucun conflit d'intérêts.

- Abstract
This study aims to propose a therapeutic approach for catamenial pneumothorax based on outcomes reported in 18 cases. We conducted a retrospective study of 18 female elderly patients with an average age of 32.2 years who had undergone surgery for right (16 cases) and bilateral catamenial pneumothorax (2 cases) from January 1994 to December 2016. The patients were divided into 3 groups on the basis of the evolution of our surgical capability over time: group 1(G1) from January 1994 to June 2006, group 2 (G2) from July 2006 to February 2008, group 3(G3) from March 2008 to December 2016, these groups were composed of 5, 2 and 11 patients respectively. All these patients were nulliparous who had suffered from dysmenorrhoea associated, in 11 cases, to catamenial chest pain since puberty. Standard radiographic evaluation of the chest was sistematically performed and complemented, in 8 cases, by chest CT scan that showed apical bubbles in addition to pneumothorax (5 cases). Exploration through posterolateral mini-thoracotomy (16 cases) and through videothoracoscopy (2 case of G3) showed diaphragmatic fenestrations (18 cases) and bubbles (5 cases). Biopsy of lesions as well as resection of the bubbles were sistematically performed . Surgical treatment of diaphragmatic fenestrations was based, in group 1, on resection-suture with pleural abrasion, in group 2, on Gore-tex patches coverage with pleural abrasion and, in group 3, on patch coverage with pleural talcage. Each patient underwent hormone therapy (triptoreline) for 6 months during postoperative period, in order to suspend menstruations. Surgical outcomes were evaluated on the basis of the recurrence or non-recurrence of a pneumothorax after resumption of menstruations. Mortality was zero. Postoperative hospital length of stay was 9.32 days. Anatomo-pathological examinations confirmed thoracic endometriosis in 9 cases. After a mean follow-up period of 5.3 years, outcomes were good in 12 patients (3/5 in G1, 1/2 in G2 and 8/11 in G3); 3 patients in G3 continued to have minimal episodes of dyspnoea at the beginning of some menstrual cycles without radiological evidence of recidivism, 3 patients (2 in G1 and 1 in G2) had recurrences requiring reoperation. We recommend phrenoplasty using patches associated with pleural talcage and complementary concomitant hormone therapy for 6 months in patients suffering from catamenial pneumothorax with diaphragmatic fenestrations.

- Abstract
Bacillus cereus is an important foodborne pathogen causing diarrhoea, emesis and in, rare cases, lethal poisonings. The emetic syndrome is caused by cereulide, a heat-stable toxin. Originally considered as a rather homogenous group, the emetic strains have since been shown to display some diversity, including the existence of two clusters of mesophilic B. cereus and psychrotolerant B. weihenstephanensis. Using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis, this research aimed to better understand the diversity and spatio-temporal occurrence of emetic strains originating from environmental or food niches vs. those isolated from foodborne cases. The diversity was evaluated using a set of 52 B. cereus and B. weihenstephanensis strains isolated between 2000 and 2011 in ten countries. PFGE analysis could discriminate 17 distinct profiles (pulsotypes). The most striking observations were as follows: (1) more than one emetic pulsotype can be observed in a single outbreak; (2) the number of distinct isolates involved in emetic intoxications is limited, and these potentially clonal strains frequently occurred in successive and independent food poisoning cases; (3) isolates from different countries displayed identical profiles; and (4) the cereulide-producing psychrotolerant B. weihenstephanensis were, so far, only isolated from environmental niches., (© 2014 Federation of European Microbiological Societies.

- Abstract
Two thousand Bacillus cereus sensu lato isolates from food and environmental matrices were screened by PCR for the presence of cereulide-producing strains. This survey identified 73 potential emetic strains, most of which originated from non-random food and clinical samplings. None of the 460 Bacillus thuringiensis, Bacillus mycoides and Bacillus pseudomycoides strains were PCR-positive for the cereulide genetic determinants. The chromosomal and extrachromosomal gene pool diversity of a subset of 30 cereulide-producing strains was then assessed using multilocus sequence typing, large plasmid gel electrophoresis and Southern blot hybridization. The strain toxicity on boar sperm and cereulide production were also analysed. The most striking observation was the identification of two distinct clusters of cereulide-producing strains, with members of the second group (cluster II) identified as psychrotolerant B. weihenstephanensis able to grow at 8°C. Moreover, the location of the cereulide genetic determinants was shown to vary depending on the strain, indicating a probable genomic mobility., (© 2009 Society for Applied Microbiology and Blackwell Publishing Ltd.)

- Abstract
Unlabelled: Cord prolapse constitute an imprevisible accident of the period of labor and an important cause of perinatal mortality. The aim of our study was to determine the frequency of cord prolapse, its etiological factors and to evaluate fetal prognosis., Material and Methods: Our study was done in the department of obstetric and gynecology of the Treichville university teaching hospital. It is a descriptive prospective study that covers 4 years period, from January 1st 1997 to December 31st 2000., Results: We did record 16.924 deliveries with 47 cases of cord prolapse representing a frequency of 0.28% The influencial factors for occurrence of cord prolapse were: prematurity, multiple pregnancy, dystocic presentations and spontaneous rupture of membranes. 28% of our patients had pregnancy not at term. Twin pregnancies represented 23.4% and in 91% of the cases, prolapsed concerned the second twin. Our rate of cord prolapse associated with vertex presentation was 23.4%; 42.5% in breech and 12.8% in the case of shoulder presentation. Spontaneous rupture of membranes was the most frequent type. In 61.7% of the cases, the delivery was done by caesarian section. Cord prolapse was greatly lethal for the fetus with 36.2% of death occurring before the 5th minute of life., Conclusion: Umbilical cord prolapse is a grave obstetrical complication that compromises fetal prognosis.

- Abstract
Torsion of the gravid uterus around its cervical junction is a rare event especially in humans. In 1992, a literature review by Jensen, mentioned by Carbonne, showed 212 cases with different etiologies. Uterine torsion is more frequently dextrorotatory (2/3 of cases). The diagnosis is difficult and generally done during cesarean section because it is frequently not symptomatic. Uterine torsion signs, when present, are not specifics. Pain, nausea and vomiting may present without any sign of shock, as in our patient. Sometimes ultrasonography can lead to a correct diagnosis, showing a modification of the placenta site during pregnancy, or an abnormal positioning of the ovarian vessels which pass in front of the lower uterine segment. Some authors report cardiotocographic abnormalities probably due to the reduction of blood flow caused by the torsion. Quickness of surgical treatment is fundamental for the reduction of fetal mortality which is very frequent in a large number of cases, while maternal mortality is not so frequent but possible. A diligent anamnesis and ultrasonographic examination are surely useful to single out the rare cases of uterine torsion in pregnancy.
