Introduction: Ascites is a very common clinical sign in hospitalization in the hepatogastroenterology and internal medicine department. The etiologies are numerous. Objective: to contribute to better management of ascites in Bangui. Patients and methods: we carried out a descriptive cross-sectional study for 30 months in the hepatogastroenterology department of the CHUASC (Centre Hospitalo-universitaire de l'AmitiĂ© Sino-Centrafricaine de Bangui). It focused on patients of both sexes hospitalized for ascites in whom the etiological diagnosis was known. The average age was 39 years with extremes of 18 and 78 years with sex ratio of 1.42. Results: During the study period, 1210 patients were hospitalized, 204 of whom presented with ascites (16.85%), of these, 170 (14.9%) meeting our inclusion criteria were retained. The ascites was citrine yellow in 136 cases (80%) and poor in protein (Ë 25 g/l) in 136 cases (80%) and rich in protein (Ë 25 g/l) in 34 cases (20%). The average of White Blood Cells in ascites fluid was 76.94 white elements/mm3 with extremes of 39 and 678/mm3. The carriage of HBV (hepatitis B virus) was more frequent in 55 cases out of 114 (48.24%). The remodeled liver was frequent in 108 cases (63.5%).
The most common etiologies of ascites were decompensated cirrhosis in 138 cases (81.2%), peritoneal carcinomatosis in 15 cases (8.8%), peritoneal tuberculosis in 12 cases (7.1%) and cardiac in 5 cases (2.9%). ). Male subjects were more prone to decompensated cirrhosis in the ascites mode. Peritoneal carcinomatosis in 15 cases (8.8%) and peritoneal tuberculosis in 12 cases (7.1%). The most common cause of peritoneal carcinomatosis was Hepatocellular Carcinoma in 13 cases (7.65%). The main risk factors were the Hepatitis B virus found in 55 cases (32.5%) and alcohol consumption in 130 cases (76.5%). Conclusion: the ascites were of cirrhotic etiology and associated with the hepatitis B virus. Men were more concerned, a universal vaccination policy against HBV is necessary and promising
Melarsoprol cyclodextrin inclusion complexes as promising oral candidates for the treatment of human African trypanosomiasis
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), or sleeping sickness, results from infection with the protozoan parasites <i>Trypanosoma brucei</i> (<i>T.b.</i>) <i>gambiense</i> or <i>T.b.rhodesiense</i> and is invariably fatal if untreated. There are 60 million people at risk from the disease throughout sub-Saharan Africa. The infection progresses from the haemolymphatic stage where parasites invade the blood, lymphatics and peripheral organs, to the late encephalitic stage where they enter the central nervous system (CNS) to cause serious neurological disease. The trivalent arsenical drug melarsoprol (Arsobal) is the only currently available treatment for CNS-stage <i>T.b.rhodesiense</i> infection. However, it must be administered intravenously due to the presence of propylene glycol solvent and is associated with numerous adverse reactions. A severe post-treatment reactive encephalopathy occurs in about 10% of treated patients, half of whom die. Thus melarsoprol kills 5% of all patients receiving it. Cyclodextrins have been used to improve the solubility and reduce the toxicity of a wide variety of drugs. We therefore investigated two melarsoprol cyclodextrin inclusion complexes; melarsoprol hydroxypropyl-͎-cyclodextrin and melarsoprol randomly-methylated-β-cyclodextrin. We found that these compounds retain trypanocidal properties <i>in vitro</i> and cure CNS-stage murine infections when delivered orally, once per day for 7-days, at a dosage of 0.05 mmol/kg. No overt signs of toxicity were detected. Parasite load within the brain was rapidly reduced following treatment onset and magnetic resonance imaging showed restoration of normal blood-brain barrier integrity on completion of chemotherapy. These findings strongly suggest that complexed melarsoprol could be employed as an oral treatment for CNS-stage HAT, delivering considerable improvements over current parenteral chemotherapy
Gouvernance des clubs de football professionnels : Entre régulation et contrainte budgétaire
En analysant le comportement individuel des clubs, cette contribution en propose une typologie fondĂ©e sur leur niveau de contrainte budgĂ©taire, induite par la capacitĂ© de leurs actionnaires Ă financer les pertes rĂ©alisĂ©es. Il est ainsi possible de conclure que seul un trĂšs petit nombre de clubs Ă©voluent dans le cadre dâune contrainte budgĂ©taire « lĂąche » (CBL) caractĂ©ristique dâune « mauvaise » gouvernance (Andreff, 2009). Cette recherche permet aussi de montrer que les clubs adaptent leur comportement aux exigences de la rĂ©gulation sectorielle auxquels ils sont soumis, transfĂ©rant de fait Ă cette derniĂšre, une part de responsabilitĂ© dans la gouvernance de ces organisations. By analysing clubsâ individual behaviour, this research suggests a typology based on their level of budget constraint, induced by the capacity of their shareholders to fund losses. It is thus possible to conclude that only a very small number of clubs operate under a âsoftâ budget constraint (SBC) characterising a âbadâ governance (Andreff, 2009). This research also enables to show that clubs adapt their behaviour to the requirements of the sectorial regulation that applies to them, transferring to the latter a share of responsibility in the governance of these organisations
