    La chirurgie d'exĂ©rèse des bulles ou bullectomie, principal moyen thĂ©rapeutique dans la prise en charge des bulles d'emphysème pulmonaire, est gĂ©nĂ©ralement rĂ©servĂ©e aux patients dont les bulles sont compliquĂ©es ou, sont Ă  l'origine d'une dyspnĂ©e invalidante. Le but de notre Ă©tude Ă©tait de dĂ©terminer les indications de la bullectomie et d'Ă©valuer les rĂ©sultats de cette chirurgie dans notre service. Nous avons menĂ© une Ă©tude rĂ©trospective descriptive de 24 patients (23 hommes et 1 femme), dont la moyenne d'âge Ă©tait de 49 ans, et qui ont bĂ©nĂ©ficiĂ© d'une bullectomie entre 2004 et 2013. Les donnĂ©es recueillies Ă©taient les facteurs favorisant la survenue d'un emphysème bulleux, les circonstances de dĂ©couverte de la bulle, les donnĂ©es des examens radiologiques, les donnĂ©es de l'Ă©valuation fonctionnelle respiratoire et cardiovasculaire, les donnĂ©es de la technique de la bullectomie, les donnĂ©es de l'Ă©valuation clinique et fonctionnelle post opĂ©ratoire. Le taux de morbiditĂ© Ă©tait de 37,5%. La principale complication Ă©tait la fuite aĂ©rienne persistante (7 cas). Un patient est dĂ©cĂ©dĂ© au 2e jour post opĂ©ratoire suite Ă  une insuffisance respiratoire aiguĂ«. La durĂ©e moyenne de suivi Ă©tait de 26 mois. Durant ce suivi, nous avons observĂ© une amĂ©lioration de la dyspnĂ©e chez tous les patients et nous n'avons notĂ© aucune complication. La bullectomie est une technique chirurgicale efficace, fiable et sĂ»re qui peut permettre aux patients d'avoir une meilleure qualitĂ© de vie pendant quelques annĂ©es

    Antisepsis and disinfection have always played an important role in the fight against infectious diseases. The use of these products has been effective in breaking the chain of transmission of microorganisms. Today, with the advent of COVID-19, the main recommendations are, among other things, physical distance and the use of antiseptic products, including hydro-alcoholic products. In Senegal, with poor regulations on the acquisition and distribution of antiseptics and disinfectants, this situation has led to a proliferation of antiseptics and disinfectants on the national market. this work aimed to study the quality of hydroalcoholic products found in the trade. We evaluated ten samples of hydro-alcohol products collected during the month of March 2020. Physical and microbiological controls were performed at the National Drug Control Laboratory. The alcohol content of the samples ranged from 63 to 85% and were consistent with WHO recommendations except for samples E3 and E5. The pH values varied between 4.02 and 6.64 and the densities of the hydro-alcoholic gel samples ranged from 0.84 to 0.92 g/cm3; E2, E4, E5, E6 samples had densities greater than 0.89 g/cm3. The samples of hydro-alcoholic products all conformed to the sterility test and no microbiological contamination was observed. Antimicrobial activities of the hydro-alcoholic samples tested ranged from 58.3 to 100% with two samples showing no activity (E2 and E5). In view of the results of this study, it would be relevant to expand and deepen investigations by a significant increase in the number of samples and by carrying out as complete an analysis as possible
