Bandes de « microbes » et insécurité à Abidjan

Le phénomène des gangs de « microbes » a tendance à s’étendre sur l’ensemble du territoire du district d’Abidjan, mais surtout à accroître le nombre des victimes. L’objectif de cette étude est de déterminer les actes criminels perpétrés par les « microbes » et de montrer comment ce phénomène est vécu au sein des populations. La méthodologie est basée sur une recherche documentaire et de terrain auprès des populations. L’analyse qualitative a permis de mettre en évidence la criminalité et le sentiment d’insécurité au sein de la population. Les résultats ont mis en exergue le fait que les multiples agressions des « microbes », à la fois violentes et récurrentes, ont conduit à de nombreux blessés voire décès des victimes. Aussi, ont-ils concouru à l’instauration d’un sentiment d’insécurité au sein des populations abidjanaise

Degenerate principal series of quantum Harish-Chandra modules

In this paper we study a quantum analogue of a degenerate principal series of $U_q \mathfrak{su}_{n,n}$-modules ($0<q<1$) related to the Shilov boundary of the quantum $n \times n$-matrix unit ball. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the modules to be simple and unitarizable and investigate their equivalence. These results are q-analogues of known classical results on reducibility and unitarizability of SU(n,n)-modules obtained by Johnson, Sahi, Zhang, Howe and Tan.Comment: 33 pages, 4 figure

Stein--Sahi complementary series and their degenerations

The aim of the paper is an introduction to Stein--Sahi complementary series, holomorphic series, and 'unipotent representations'. We also discuss some open problems related to these objects. For the sake of simplicity, we consider only the groups U(n,n).Comment: 40pp, 7fig, revised versio

Vascular Malformation Involving the Maxillofacial Region: A Case Report

Vascular anomalies constitute some of the most difficult diagnostic and therapeutic enigmas in the head and neck region and most of the congenital vascular malformations were often misdiagnosed and left untreated. These lesions are the result of an embryonic abnormality of the vascular system. Vascular lesions in the maxillofacial region are rare. These lesions can cause facial asymmetry, loose teeth, tinnitus, headache, and bruits and can be complicated by life threatening conditions such as haemorrhage and heart failure. This article presents a case of 25-year old female patient reported to the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology with a chief complaint of swelling on the left side of the face. Based on the clinical findings and radiological investigations such as USG with Color Doppler, MR Angiography and CBCT the case was diagnosed as slow flow venous malformation involving the left maxillofacial region. So, the present case report depicts that apart from the clinical findings advanced radiological techniques like contrast enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging and CBCT will acts as a useful tool for the accurate diagnosis of Vascular Anamolies (VA)

Neurosyphilis Increases Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-associated Central Nervous System Inflammation but Does Not Explain Cognitive Impairment in HIV-infected Individuals With Syphilis.

Background: Individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who have previously had syphilis may have cognitive impairment. We tested the hypothesis that neurosyphilis causes cognitive impairment in HIV by amplifying HIV-related central nervous system (CNS) inflammation. Methods: HIV-infected participants enrolled in a study of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) abnormalities in syphilis underwent the mental alternation test (MAT), venipuncture, and lumbar puncture. CSF concentrations of chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 10 (CXCL10), chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2), and neurofilament light (NFL) were determined by commercial assays. The proportion of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and of CSF white blood cells (WBCs) that were activated monocytes (CD14+CD16+) was determined by flow cytometry. Neurosyphilis was defined as detection of Treponema pallidum 16S RNA in CSF or CSF white blood cells (WBCs) \u3e20/uL or a reactive CSF-Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) test; uncomplicated syphilis was defined as undetectable CSF T. pallidum, CSF WBCs ≤5/uL and nonreactive CSF-VDRL. MATlow. Results: Median proportion of PBMCs that were activated monocytes (16.6 vs. 5.3), and median CSF CXCL10 (10658 vs. 2530 units), CCL2 (519 vs. 337 units) and HIV RNA (727 vs. 50 c/mL) were higher in neurosyphilis than in uncomplicated syphilis (P ≤ .001 for all comparisons). Neurosyphilis was not related to low MAT scores. Participants with low MAT scores had higher median CSF CXCL10 (10299 vs. 3650 units, P = .008) and CCL2 (519 vs. 365 units, P = .04) concentrations than those with high MAT scores. Conclusions: Neurosyphilis may augment HIV-associated CNS inflammation, but it does not explain cognitive impairment in HIV-infected individuals with syphilis

4-Bromo­benzoic acid–6-(4-bromo­phen­yl)-3-methyl-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thia­diazole (1/1)

In the title 1:1 co-crystal, C10H7BrN4S·C7H5BrO2, the triazolothia­diazole system is approximately planar [with a maximum deviation of 0.030 (4) Å] and forms a dihedral angle of 8.6 (1)° with the bromo­phenyl ring. In the carb­oxy­lic acid mol­ecule, the carboxyl group is rotated by 6.4 (3)° out of the benzene ring plane. The crystal structure features O—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.713 (2), 3.670 (2) and 3.859 (3) Å] and short S⋯N [2.883 (4) Å] contacts
