    The unprecedented subprime crisis, the deregulation of the market, bank credit and payment mechanisms have facilitated the spread of the risk to the whole of economy. This study examines the issue of the processes set up to save the management of the global banking system. To achieve our goal, we conducted a survey of the various techniques used by banks to prevent global financial crises. At the end of our study, we found that the banks while opting for different policies play the same role and are increasingly hard to avoid risk

    In Senegal, despite its high frequency, there is no real program to fight against anemia among infants. This work was carried out in the Dakar suburb from 1st September, 2009 to 27th January, 2010 among apparently healthy children aged 9-15 months at the time of their immunization against yellow fever and measles. They showed no known chronic condition or acute infection at the time of the survey. The objectives were to study the diet, prevalence, type and risk factors of anemia. The questionnaire was about whether the father and the mother were working and about the children’s diet during the first six months of their life. All the children underwent anthropometric measurements (weight and height) and a complete blood count. We considered children as anemic if the hemoglobin rate was below 11g/dl. Of the 245 children, 212 were anemic, which was a prevalence of 86.5%. This anemia, frequently of the microcytic hypochromic type (68. 86%) was significantly (p < 0.0003) observed among the children of housewives compared with those whose mothers were employed. Among anemic children, 60.8% were only taking breast milk with or without cereal porridge as a food supplement. The absence of consumption of protein, vegetables, fruits and dairy products was a risk factor for the occurrence of anemia (p <0.0001). In total, at the time immunization is stopped, almost all Senegalese children, while apparently healthy, still face nutritional anemia. The adverse consequences of anemia on child health require the implementation in developing countries of a specific program of struggle against anemia. The activity of vaccination might be the best opportunity to provide the nutritional education these mothers need

    Background: The objective of this study was to highlight obstetrical complications that occurred among adolescent girls who delivered at the ward and to identify factors associated with the occurrence of such complications.Methods: This was a prospective study of descriptive and analytical type extending over a period of one year from September 1, 2016 to August 31, 2017 carried out at the maternity ward of Ignace Deen National Hospital at Conakry Teaching Hospital (CHU). It covered a continuous series of 1034 deliveries among adolescent girls.Results: The frequency of childbirth among adolescent girls was 16.7%. The main complications identified were dystocia, severe preeclampsia, eclampsia, retroplacental hematoma, placenta previa, uterine rupture, severe anemia, postpartum hemorrhage and puerperal endometritis. These complications occurred among adolescent girls aged 18 to 19, christian, skin and pelvic bones secondary school or university students. Factors associated with such complications were the marital status (p=0.010), the gestational age (p=0.012), the number of prenatal consultations (p=0.001), the place of prenatal consultation (p=0.001), the reason for admission (p=0.000) and the mode of admission (p=0.000).Conclusions: Childbirth among adolescent girls is frequent in this context; complications are numerous but they are preventable in the vast majority of cases

    Background: A trauma emergency is any aggression (direct or indirect) external to the body for which no therapeutic delay is allowed at the risk of endangering the patient's life or the functional prognosis of his limbs. The objective of this study was to report the results of the management of traumatological emergencies. Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study from 11 January 2021, to 11 July 2021. It focused on patients seen for traumatological emergencies in the CHU Ignace Deen Orthopaedics-Traumatology department. Results: Trauma emergencies constitute 75.2% of admissions to the emergency department. The average age of the patients was 32.2 years, with extremes of 1 and 91 years. There was a predominance of 76.3% males with a ratio (M/F) of 3.2. Road traffic accidents were the most found aetiology in 82.9%, and motorcycles were involved in 68.7%. Limb fractures were found in 34.7%. The treatment time was ≤6 hours in 67.5%, and 203 patients received drug treatment, i.e., 49.7%. Conclusions: Trauma emergencies constitute, by their frequency and seriousness, a real public health problem in Africa in general and in Guinea in particular

    Introduction : Les troubles fonctionnels digestifs (TFI) ou syndrome de l’intestin irritable reprĂ©sentent un vĂ©ritable problème de santĂ© publique. Si cette affection n’engage pas le pronostic vital, elle altère significativement et de façon chronique la qualitĂ© de vie des malades. L’étiologie est mal connue et de nombreux facteurs sont impliquĂ©s. MĂ©thodes : Il s’agissait d’une Ă©tude transversale descriptive Ă  recueil prospectif de donnĂ©es rĂ©alisĂ©e en consultation externe du service d’hĂ©pato-gastroentĂ©rologie de l’hĂ´pital national Donka du CHU de Conakry allant du 1er Janvier 2019 au 31 DĂ©cembre 2020 chez les patients souffrants de TFI et rĂ©pondant aux critères de Rome IV. RĂ©sultats : Trois cent quatre-vingt-dix-huit cas de SII sur 1309 patients soit une prĂ©valence de 30,40%. On notait une prĂ©dominance fĂ©minine avec un sex ratio de 0,92. L’âge moyen de nos patients Ă©tait de 49 ans avec des extrĂŞmes de 10 et 88 ans. Les tranches d’âge de 25-34 ans et 35-44 ans Ă©taient les plus reprĂ©sentĂ©es avec des frĂ©quences respectives de 24,52% et 22,07%. Les principaux signes cliniques Ă©taient des douleurs abdominales (92,28%), de la constipation dans 84,41%, ballonnement abdominal 28,39% et diverses manifestations extradigestives : insomnie dans 32,08%, de cĂ©phalĂ©es dans 30,55% des cas, de la fibromyalgie 22,91%. Les principaux facteurs dĂ©clenchants Ă©taient : les facteurs psychologiques 32,08% et alimentaires (tubercules 14,13%, haricot 6,11%, le diner tardif et ou copieux 4,2% et les boissons gazeuses 3,44%). Le retentissement socioprofessionnel des TFI Ă©tait dominĂ© par l’absentĂ©isme dans 82,78% des cas, le retard au travail dans 20%. Les comorbiditĂ©s digestives les plus frĂ©quentes Ă©taient : le RGO, la dyspepsie, le dolichocĂ´lon ainsi que leur association. Conclusion  Le SII est un problème de santĂ© publique qui altère la qualitĂ© de vie des personnes atteintes. Les douleurs abdominales, la constipation et le ballonnement abdominal en constituent la triade symptomatique. Le stress est un facteur dĂ©clenchant de la symptomatologie. L’association du SII avec des comorbiditĂ©s digestives et extra-digestives est frĂ©quente. Introduction : Functional digestive disorders (TFI) or irritable bowel syndrome represent a real public health problem. Although this condition is not life-threatening, it significantly and chronically alters the quality of life of patients. The etiology is poorly understood and many factors are involved. Methods : This was a descriptive cross-sectional study with prospective data collection carried out in outpatient consultation of the hepato-gastroenterology department of the Donka national hospital of the Conakry University Hospital from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2020 in patients suffering from TFI and meeting the Rome IV criteria. Results: Three hundred and ninety-eight cases of IBS out of 1309 patients, representing a prevalence of 30.40%. There was a female predominance with a sex ratio of 0.92. The average age of our patients was 49 years with extremes of 10 and 88 years. The age groups of 25-34 and 35-44 were the most represented with respective frequencies of 24.52% and 22.07%. The main clinical signs were abdominal pain (92.28%), constipation in 84.41%, abdominal bloating in 28.39% and various extradigestive manifestations: insomnia in 32.08%, headache in 30.55% of cases. cases, fibromyalgia 22.91%. The main triggering factors were: psychological factors 32.08% and dietary factors (tubers 14.13%, beans 6.11%, late or heavy dinner 4.2% and soft drinks 3.44%). The socio-professional impact of TFIs was dominated by absenteeism in 82.78% of cases, lateness for work in 20%. The most common digestive comorbidities were: GERD, dyspepsia, dolichocolon and their combination. Conclusion IBS is a public health problem that impairs the quality of life of those affected. Abdominal pain, constipation and abdominal bloating constitute the symptomatic triad. Stress is a triggering factor for the symptoms. The association of IBS with digestive and extra-digestive comorbidities is common
