Pigs have been identified as a species susceptible to Reston ebolavirus RESTV infection, with indicated transmission to humans in the Philippines; however, their role during Ebola outbreaks in Africa needs to be clarified. To perform surveillance studies, detection of ebolavirus requires a prerequisite validation of viral RNA and antibody detection methods in swine samples.
Prenatal lead exposure is a public health concern. Geophagy, the practice of soil eating, is documented for pregnant women of sub-Saharan Africa to treat pregnancy-related malaise. The soils however can contain substantial amounts of lead. Purpose : Considering the increased risk of HIV among alcohol users, we explored the role of individual alcohol expectancies in risk behaviors among youth in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Methods : We surveyed 1, adolescents ages and young adults ages on alcohol and sexual behaviors in May, We assessed expectancies of alcohol use 1 leading to sex or positive sexual experiences; 2 diminishing one's ability to resist unwanted sex; and 3 diminishing one's ability to use or negotiate use of condoms. Box, CH, Basel, Switzerland. Helminth co-infections are common in sub-Saharan Africa. Building on a previous community-based study on human cysticercosis in Malanga village, we investigated co-infections with Taenia solium, soil-transmitted helminths STHs and Schistosoma spp and associated risk factors in a random subsample of participants.
Methods : A preliminary cross-sectional study was conducted in patients. Traumatizing experiences cumulatively heighten the risk for trauma-related disorders, and with it affect cognitive and psycho-social functioning. Data are lacking regarding asymptomatic and symptomatic malaria prevalence in internationally adopted children.
Adopted children from areas of high malaria endemicity should be screened for malaria. Methanolic and dichloromethane extracts from the leaves of Congolese Hibiscus species were characterised by chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques and their in vitro biochemical activities against ROS production were evaluated in cellular models and on an enzyme, myeloperoxidase MPO , involved in inflammation. Hibiscus acetosella has a chemical fingerprint different from Hibiscus cannabinus and Hibiscus sabdariffa both having similar fingerprints. Major compounds were polyphenols, represented mainly by caffeoyl-hydroxycitric acid for H.
Introduction : People living in poverty have limited access to traditional financial institutions. Microfinance programmes are designed to meet this gap and show promise in improving income, economic productivity and health. Our Congolese-US community academic research partnership developed two livestock productive asset transfer programmes, Pigs for Peace PFP and Rabbits for Resilience RFR , to address the interlinked health, social and economic well-being of individuals, their families and communities.
Introduction : The late screening of the majority of patients in sub Saharan region would justify a systematic antiretroviral treatment without breaking the country programs vision. We here report a case of left ovarian pregnancy passively detected in the General Reference Hospital outpatient clinic in Dilolo, Democratic Republic of Congo. The diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasound; the patient underwent surgery with uneventful postoperative course.
Pregnant women and healthcare personnel should be aware of the importance of proper clinical and echographic monitoring in pregnancy for early diagnosis of abnormal implantations. Duodenal diaphragm is one of the rare types of duodenal atresia described, causing intestinal obstruction in the neonatal period. It is caused by embryological factors. We report the case of a day-old newborn hospitalized and treated for duodenal obstruction at the University clinics in Lubumbashi and whose intraoperative finding was duodenal diaphragm.
Often, the co-morbidities constitute the upfront symptoms and therefore may it recognition and management difficult, aggravating as such the prognosis. Plant species have an important role in eco-ditches; however, the Michaelis-Menten kinetic parameters of nutrient uptake, growth rate and purification efficiency of ditch plants and their influences on domestic sewage treatment efficiency are still unclear. Growth rates of all nine species, but especially Lemna gibba, Cladophora and Myriophyllum verticillatum were best in undiluted domestic sewage as opposed to a mixture of domestic sewage.
Performance of species to accumulate nutrients was not only species-specific, but was also affected by both sewage treatments. Background : Humanitarian assistance standards mandate specific attention to address the sexual and reproductive health SRH needs of conflict-affected populations. Despite these internationally recognised standards, access to SRH services is still often compromised in conflict settings.
Microbial populations which are resistant to antibiotics are an emerging environmental concern with potentially serious implications for public health. Thus, there is a growing concern in exploring the occurrence of antibiotic resistance in the environment with no limitations to the factors that contribute to their emergence. The aquatic environment is considered to be a hot-spot for the acquisition and spread of antibiotic resistance due to pollution with emerging contaminants derived from anthropogenic activities.
Approaching disease elimination, it is crucial to be able to assess progress towards key objectives using quantitative tools. For Gambian human African trypanosomiasis HAT , the ultimate goal is to stop transmission by , while intermediary targets include elimination as a public health problem - defined as Read More. Recent research in the Democratic Republic of Congo DRC has shown that over a quarter of women have an unmet need for family planning and that modern contraceptive use is three times higher among urban than rural women.
This study focuses on the reasons behind the choices of married men and women to use contraception or not. What are the barriers that have led to low levels of modern contraceptive use among women and men in DRC rural areas? The research team conducted 24 focus groups among women non-users of any method, users of traditional methods and users of modern methods and husbands of non-users or users of traditional methods in six health zones of three geographically dispersed provinces.
Background : Information about the association with alpha thalassemia in sickle cell patients is unknown in the Democratic Republic of Congo. There is very little data on the alpha thalassemia in patients suffering from sickle cell anemia in Central Africa, and their consequences on the clinical expression of the disease. Methods : A cross-sectional study was conducted in sickle cell patients living in the country's capital Kinshasa. Objectives : Female bonobos Pan paniscus are characterized as highly affiliative and cooperative, but few studies have quantified the strength and stability of female intra-sexual relationships or explored how variation in social relationships influences cooperation.
We measure female social preferences, identify causes of variation in preferences, and test whether variation in social preferences predicts food sharing or coalitionary support. Purpose Of Review : Live attenuated 17D vaccine is considered one of the safest and efficacious vaccines developed to date.
This review highlights what is known and the gaps in knowledge of vaccine-induced protective immunity. Recent Findings : Recently, the World Health Organization modifying its guidance from year booster doses to one dose gives lifelong protection in most populations.
Afrotropical species of the Craspedophorus leprieuri and Craspedophorus regalis groups are revised. Pseudocrenilabrus pyrrhocaudalis sp.
Carbon materials are generally preferred as anodes in supercapacitors; however, their low capacitance limits the attained energy density of supercapacitor devices with aqueous electrolytes. Here, we report a low-crystalline iron oxide hydroxide nanoparticle anode with comprehensive electrochemical performance at a wide potential window. In the last decade, there has been an increasing focus on the implementation of plant growth-promoting PGP organisms as a sustainable option to compensate for poor soil fertility conditions in developing countries.
Trap systems were used in an effort to isolate PGP fungi from rhizospheric soil samples collected in the region around Kisangani in the Democratic Republic of Congo. With sudangrass as a host, a highly conducive environment was created for sebacinalean chlamydospore formation inside the plant roots resulting in a collection of 51 axenically cultured isolates of the elusive genus recently transferred to the genus.
Within the colonial setting of the Belgian Congo, the process of cutting the body, whether living or dead, lent itself to conflation with cannibalism and other fantastic consumption stories by both Congolese and Belgian observers.
Listen to broadcasts from this radio station for Congo news. Financial constraints such as travel money or screening and treatment costs were not an issue in this study as all the participants could get to hospital even on foot maximum distance of 3 miles and the screening and the treatment were freely provided. The Rwandan campaign was thwarted at the last minute when Angolan, Zimbabwean, and Namibian troops intervened on behalf of the D. See the artists list. Conclusion Given the difficulties encountered and the frequency of positive tests, we recommend another study with a larger sample, improved working conditions mainly equipment and the association of another test such as the Human Papilloma Virus HPV test. The age ranged between 22 and 67 years. There are tennis clubs private and municipal , swimming pools, and several riding clubs.
In part this was due to the instability of the meaning of the human body and the human corpse in the colonial setting. This essay maps out different views of the cadaver and personhood through medical technologies of opening the body in the Belgian Congo. Design of experiments and design space methodology were initially applied for 15 ARV and the 4 excipients with prediction thanks to Monte Carlo simulations and focusing on rapidity and affordability thus using short column and low cost organic solvent methanol in gradient mode with 10mM buffer solutions of ammonium hydrogen carbonate.
