Lipoprotein (a) profile in HIV-1 infected patients treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)
Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is recognized as an independent factor of
arteriosclerosis. The aim of this study was to appreciate the profile
of Lipoprotein (a) recognized as an independent factor of
arteriosclerosis in the monitoring of HIV-infected patients receiving
Nevirapine (NVP) regimens, an antiretroviral known to reduce
cardiovascular disease risk. The study population (136 subjects)
comprise of 106 HIV-infected subjects, and 30 HIV-negative individuals.
The 106 HIV-infected subjects were divided into groups as follows.
HAART-untreated (27), HIV-infected subjects that did not receive
antiretroviral treatment; HAART-6M (36), HIV-infected subjects on
antiretroviral treatment for six months; and HAART-12M (43),
HIV-infected subjects on antiretroviral treatment for twelve months.
All recruited patients had normal blood lipids values (Total
cholesterol < 5.2 mmol/L, Triglycerides < 2 g/L, HDLc > 0.9
mmol/L). The Lp(a) levels were significantly higher in the HIV-infected
group compared to the control (p = 0.0036). Within the HIV-infected
subjects, Lp(a) level was found to be higher in HAART-treated group
compared to HAART naive group (p=0.004). Infected subjects on the
antiretroviral treatment for12 months had higher Lp(a) levels than
those treated for 6 months (p=0.034). This study shows that adequate
management of metabolic abnormalities of HAART-treated HIV-infected
patients must include periodic measurement of Lp(a) levels
Le droit matrimonial en CÎte d'Ivoire 1901-2012. Entre unification législative et résistances coutumiÚres
The inefficiency of the positive law in Africa is considered as one of the underlying reasons of its underdevelopment and/or of its development malaise. The state of lawlessness that prevails in CĂŽte dâIvoire in marriage-related issues appears to be the case in point, being one of the most instructive and globalizing within the correlations between legal order and development in its widest sense. As a matter of fact, like in all of the former French colonies of French West Africa block, CĂŽte dâIvoireâs legal (at least, in a positivist sense) system is a product of its colonial past. Therefore, the legal systems in all these young African states are naturally inspired by the French law, through the channel of colonial law. However, CĂŽte dâIvoireâs solution differs from most of those of its fellow regional states. The new Ivorian government opted for an outright alignment of their law and the legal system with that of the former colonizer. For the civil law, this translated into the adoption of the French Code of 1804, taken for a token of development and social revolution, at the expense of countless civil customs considered to be incompatible with the new constitutional order and nation-building. Out of this political will of assimilation and legal unification - that has been ongoing in CĂŽte dâIvoire since independence - was born a true conflict of norms. On the one hand, a state law, especially in matrimonial matters, is prevalent but still strives to take root. On the other hand, civil customs that are still attractive bite into the credibility of the official law.LâineffectivitĂ© du droit positif en Afrique est considĂ©rĂ©e comme lâune des principales causes de son sous-dĂ©veloppement et/ou de son mal de dĂ©veloppement. A titre dâillustration, la situation de « non-droit » qui prĂ©vaut en CĂŽte dâIvoire en matiĂšre matrimoniale apparaĂźt comme lâune des plus Ă©difiantes de cette corrĂ©lation entre ordonnancement juridique et dĂ©veloppement (lato sensu)En effet, Ă lâinstar de toutes les anciennes colonies françaises du bloc de lâAfrique Occidentale Française, la CĂŽte dâIvoire hĂ©rite du fait juridique (du moins dans son acception positiviste) de la colonisation. Il sâensuit que, naturellement, le systĂšme juridique de lâensemble de ces jeunes Etats africains trouve son inspiration, par le canal du droit colonial, dans le droit français. Mais la CĂŽte dâIvoire a adoptĂ© une solution diffĂ©rente de celles de la plupart des autres Etats. Les nouveaux gouvernants ivoiriens prirent le parti dâaligner purement et simplement leur droit sur celui de leur ancien colonisateur. Cela se traduisit au civil par lâadoption du Code français de 1804, donnĂ© comme un gage de dĂ©veloppement et de rĂ©volution sociale, au dĂ©triment des innombrables coutumes civiles, considĂ©rĂ©es comme Ă©tant inconciliables avec le nouvel ordre constitutionnel et lâĂ©dification dâune nation ivoirienne. De cette volontĂ© politique d'assimilation et dâunification juridique, qui se perpĂ©tue en CĂŽte dâIvoire depuis son accession Ă la souverainetĂ©, naquit un vĂ©ritable conflit de normes, entre dâune part, un droit Ă©tatique, notamment en matiĂšre matrimoniale, qui prĂ©vaut mais ne sâenracine pas, et dâautre part, des coutumes civiles, dont lâattrait pĂšse sur la crĂ©dibilitĂ© du droit officiel
