    Les urgences urologiques regroupent un ensemble de pathologies multiples et variĂ©es. Elles sont plus frĂ©quentes chez l’homme ĂągĂ© Ă  causes des affections prostatiques et restent dominĂ©es par la rĂ©tention aigue d’urine, les infections urogĂ©nitales et les grosses bourses. Elles peuvent diffĂ©rer d’un centre Ă  l’autre sur le plan Ă©pidĂ©miologique, mais Ă©galement dans la prise en charge. OBJECTIF : Rapporter les aspects Ă©pidĂ©miologique, diagnostique et d’évaluer la prise en charge des urgences urologiques dans l’hĂŽpital SOUNON SĂ©ro de Nikki. PATIENTS ET METHODE : Il s’est agi d’une Ă©tude descriptive Ă  collecte de donnĂ©es prospectives menĂ©e Ă  l’hĂŽpital SOUNON SĂ©ro de Nikki sur la pĂ©riode allant du 5 novembre 2020 au 5 mai 2021 soit 6 mois  et portait  sur 44 patients admis dans le service des urgences pour des urgences urologiques. Les variables Ă©tudiĂ©es Ă©taient : l’ñge, le sexe, la profession, le niveau d’instruction, le statut matrimonial, aspect clinique et thĂ©rapeutique. Les donnĂ©es ont Ă©tĂ© collectĂ©es sur une fiche individuelle de collecte, testĂ©e en amont, Ă  partir des dossiers d’hospitalisation en respectant les considĂ©rations Ă©thiques et de dĂ©ontologie. Pour analyser les donnĂ©es, un logiciel SPSS version 2.0 nous a Ă©tĂ© utile et nous a permis d’obtenir nos rĂ©sultats. RESULTATS : La tranche d’ñge la plus reprĂ©sentĂ© Ă©tait celle de 60 – 74 ans avec 45,45% dont 100% hommes et la plupart Ă©taient des cultivateurs dans l’ordre de 79,55%. Le principal motif de consultation Ă©tait la rĂ©tention aigue d’urine(RAU) avec 72,73% et Ă©tiologies prostatiques (75%), comme geste d’urgence tous avaient bĂ©nĂ©ficiĂ©s d’un sondage vĂ©sical trans-urĂ©tral. CONCLUSION : La prise en charge des urgences urologiques reprĂ©sente une activitĂ© courante dans notre pratique. Ces urgences sont l’apanage du sujet ĂągĂ© de sexe masculin et sont essentiellement dominĂ©es par les rĂ©tentions d’urine avec pour principales causes les tumeurs prostatiques. Le cathĂ©tĂ©risme urĂ©tral est le geste le plus couramment pratiquĂ© sachant qu’aucun cas d’obstruction urĂ©tral n’a Ă©tĂ© reçu.   Urological emergencies include a set of multiple and varied pathologies. They are more frequent in the elderly man because of prostatic affections and remain dominated by acute retention of urine, urogenital infections, and large purses. They can differ from one center to another on the epidemiological level, but also in the management. OBJECTIVE: To report the epidemiological and diagnostic aspects and to evaluate the management of urological emergencies in the SOUNON SĂ©ro hospital in Nikki. PATIENTS AND METHOD: This was a descriptive study with prospective data collection conducted at the SOUNON SĂ©ro hospital in Nikki over the period from November 5, 2020 to May 5, 2021, i.e. 6 months and involved 44 patients admitted to the emergency department for urological emergencies. The variables studied were: age, sex, profession, level of education, marital status, and clinical and therapeutic aspect. The data was collected on an individual collection sheet, and tested upstream, from hospital records, respecting ethical and deontological considerations. To analyze the data, SPSS version 2.0 software was useful and allowed us to obtain our results. RESULTS: The most represented age group was that of 60 – 74 years with 45.45% of which 100% were men and most were farmers in the order of 79.55%. The main reason for consultation was acute urinary retention (AUR) with 72.73% and prostatic etiologies (75%), as an emergency gesture, all had benefited from a transurethral bladder catheterization. CONCLUSION: The management of urological emergencies is a common activity in our practice. These emergencies are the prerogative of the elderly male subject and are essentially dominated by urine retention with the main causes being prostate tumors. Urethral catheterization is the most commonly performed gesture knowing that no case of urethral obstruction has been received

    Introduction: Les troubles Ă©lectrolytiques sont nombreux et complexes en raison de leurs symptĂŽmes non spĂ©cifiques et de leurs multiples Ă©tiologies. Le but de ce travail est de dĂ©crire les dĂ©sordres ioniques Ă  la Clinique Universitaire d'Urologie et d'Andrologie du Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Hubert Maga Koutoukou de Cotonou, pour en tirer des leçons afin d'Ă©laborer un protocole pour leur prise en charge. MatĂ©riels et mĂ©thode: Il s'est agi d'une Ă©tude descriptive rĂ©trospective avec collecte de donnĂ©es prospective portant sur des patients hospitalisĂ©s prĂ©sentant de trouble Ă©lectrolytique. RĂ©sultats: L'Ăąge de nos patients variait de 25 Ă  86 ans avec une moyenne de 63,58 ans. La catĂ©gorie des retraitĂ©s Ă©tait la plus reprĂ©sentĂ©e dans 39,10% des cas suivie des fonctionnaires (24,36%). La dĂ©couverte fortuite de troubles Ă©lectrolytiques Ă©tait plus reprĂ©sentĂ©e dans 86,54% des cas. L'admission Ă©tait indĂ©pendante des troubles Ă©lectrolytiques dans 83 % des cas. Les troubles Ă©lectrolytiques Ă©taient plus frĂ©quents chez les patients opĂ©rĂ©s en pĂ©riode prĂ©opĂ©ratoire dans 32,70 % des cas. La dysnatrĂ©mie prĂ©dominait dans 49,72% des cas suivie de la dyskaliĂ©mie (40,78%). Sur le plan qualitatif, l'hyponatrĂ©mie Ă©tait prĂ©dominante dans 30,72% des cas suivie de l'hypokaliĂ©mie (17,33%). Dans notre sĂ©rie, les troubles Ă©lectrolytiques Ă©taient lĂ©gers dans 72,43 % des cas avec une Ă©chelle de morbi-mortalitĂ© de 1 (retour Ă  domicile). Conclusion: Les troubles Ă©lectrolytiques sont grevĂ©s d'une morbi-mortalitĂ© non nĂ©gligeable et sont principalement reprĂ©sentĂ©s par la dysnatrĂ©mie et la dyskaliĂ©mie. Ces troubles sont souvent la consĂ©quence d'une uropathie obstructive vue au stade des complications.

    La majoritĂ© des cancers de la prostate sont diagnostiquĂ©s Ă  un stade tardif en Afrique subsaharienne. Les complications hĂ©matologiques du cancer de la prostate surviennent au cours d’une Ă©volution pĂ©jorative. Nous rapportons un cas rĂ©vĂ©lĂ© par une complication hĂ©matologique. Un patient de 70 ans a prĂ©sentĂ© une bicytopĂ©nie. Il avait des antĂ©cĂ©dents de myocardiopathie et de polytransfusion. Il a Ă©tĂ© admis en hĂ©matologie pour recherche Ă©tiologique d’une bicytopĂ©nie sĂ©vĂšre. La rĂ©alisation d’un myĂ©logramme Ă  visĂ©e de recherche Ă©tiologique a identifiĂ© des cellules mĂ©tastatiques d’origine prostatique. L’examen anatomopathologie des carottes de biopsie prostatique a rĂ©vĂ©lĂ© un adĂ©nocarcinome prostatique infiltrant, score de Gleason 7 (4 + 3), ISUP (International Society of Urological Pathologie) 3. L’hormonothĂ©rapie et les transfusions sanguines associĂ©es aux bisphosphonates ont constituĂ© l’essentiel du traitement. L’évolution sous ce traitement a Ă©tĂ© favorable sur le plan clinique avec une amĂ©lioration de l’état gĂ©nĂ©ral et biologique avec une normalisation de la lignĂ©e rouge Ă  3mois de traitement et un PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) au nadir aprĂšs 6mois de traitement. Les complications hĂ©matologiques de la nĂ©oplasie prostatique notamment dues Ă  l’envahissement mĂ©dullaire sont source d’égarement diagnostique. Elles mĂ©ritent d’ĂȘtre connues des cliniciens puisqu’elles peuvent ĂȘtre rĂ©vĂ©latrices de ce cancer au stade mĂ©tastatique.   The majority of prostate cancers are diagnosed at a late stage in sub-Saharan Africa. The haematological complications of prostate cancer occur during a pejorative course. We report a case revealed by a haematological complication. A 70-year-old patient presented with bicytopenia. He had a history of cardiomyopathy and polytransfusion. He was admitted to hematology for a etiological investigation of severe bicytopenia. Performing a myelogram for etiological research identified metastatic cells of prostate origin. The pathology examination of the prostate biopsy cores revealed an infiltrating prostatic adenocarcinoma, Gleason score 7 (4 + 3), ISUP (International Society of Urological Pathology) 3. Hormontherapy and blood transfusions associated with bisphosphonates were the factor essential of treatment. The outcome under this treatment was clinically favorable with an improvement in the general and biological condition with normalization of the red line at 3 months of treatment and a PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) at nadir after 6 months of treatment. The haematological complications of prostatic neoplasia, in particular due to spinal cord invasion, are a source of diagnostic error. They deserve to be known to clinicians since they can be indicative of this cancer in the metastatic stage

    Introduction : Les traumatismes du pĂ©nis intĂ©ressant le rĂ©seau vasculaire sont rarement rapportĂ©s dans la littĂ©rature. La rupture de la veine profonde du pĂ©nis est une urgence urologique dont la clinique peut simuler une fracture de la verge.Nous rapportons un cas de rupture de la veine profonde du pĂ©nis survenue lors d’un faux pas de coĂŻt.Patient et MĂ©thodes : Il s’est agi d’un patient ĂągĂ© de 26 ans prĂ©sentant une tumĂ©faction de tout le pĂ©nis prĂ©cĂ©dĂ©e d’une douleur minime et d’une dĂ©tumescence progressive survenue au dĂ©cours d’un coĂŻt. L’exploration chirurgicale a mis en Ă©vidence une lĂ©sion incomplĂšte de la veine dorsale profonde et qui a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©parĂ©e.Conclusion : La rupture de la veine dorsale profonde est rare et peut simuler une fracture des corps Ă©rectiles. . L’exploration chirurgicale reste un moyen diagnostique et thĂ©rapeutique accessible. Introduction: Penile trauma involving the vascular network is rarely reported in this paper. The rupture of the deep vein of the penis is a urological emergency which can simulate a fracture of the penis. A case of rupture of the deep vein of the penis is reported, which occurred during a false coitus.Patient and Methods: The case study was a 26-year-old patient with swelling of the entire penis. This was preceded by minimal pain and progressive detumescence during coitus. Surgical exploration revealed an incomplete lesion of the deep dorsal vein, which was repaired.Conclusion: Rupture of the deep dorsal vein is rare and may simulate a fracture of the erectile bodies. Surgical exploration remains an accessible diagnostic and therapeutic means

    Antimicrobial resistance among migrants in Europe: a systematic review and meta-analysis

    BACKGROUND: Rates of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are rising globally and there is concern that increased migration is contributing to the burden of antibiotic resistance in Europe. However, the effect of migration on the burden of AMR in Europe has not yet been comprehensively examined. Therefore, we did a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify and synthesise data for AMR carriage or infection in migrants to Europe to examine differences in patterns of AMR across migrant groups and in different settings. METHODS: For this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, and Scopus with no language restrictions from Jan 1, 2000, to Jan 18, 2017, for primary data from observational studies reporting antibacterial resistance in common bacterial pathogens among migrants to 21 European Union-15 and European Economic Area countries. To be eligible for inclusion, studies had to report data on carriage or infection with laboratory-confirmed antibiotic-resistant organisms in migrant populations. We extracted data from eligible studies and assessed quality using piloted, standardised forms. We did not examine drug resistance in tuberculosis and excluded articles solely reporting on this parameter. We also excluded articles in which migrant status was determined by ethnicity, country of birth of participants' parents, or was not defined, and articles in which data were not disaggregated by migrant status. Outcomes were carriage of or infection with antibiotic-resistant organisms. We used random-effects models to calculate the pooled prevalence of each outcome. The study protocol is registered with PROSPERO, number CRD42016043681. FINDINGS: We identified 2274 articles, of which 23 observational studies reporting on antibiotic resistance in 2319 migrants were included. The pooled prevalence of any AMR carriage or AMR infection in migrants was 25·4% (95% CI 19·1-31·8; I2 =98%), including meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (7·8%, 4·8-10·7; I2 =92%) and antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (27·2%, 17·6-36·8; I2 =94%). The pooled prevalence of any AMR carriage or infection was higher in refugees and asylum seekers (33·0%, 18·3-47·6; I2 =98%) than in other migrant groups (6·6%, 1·8-11·3; I2 =92%). The pooled prevalence of antibiotic-resistant organisms was slightly higher in high-migrant community settings (33·1%, 11·1-55·1; I2 =96%) than in migrants in hospitals (24·3%, 16·1-32·6; I2 =98%). We did not find evidence of high rates of transmission of AMR from migrant to host populations. INTERPRETATION: Migrants are exposed to conditions favouring the emergence of drug resistance during transit and in host countries in Europe. Increased antibiotic resistance among refugees and asylum seekers and in high-migrant community settings (such as refugee camps and detention facilities) highlights the need for improved living conditions, access to health care, and initiatives to facilitate detection of and appropriate high-quality treatment for antibiotic-resistant infections during transit and in host countries. Protocols for the prevention and control of infection and for antibiotic surveillance need to be integrated in all aspects of health care, which should be accessible for all migrant groups, and should target determinants of AMR before, during, and after migration.

    Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most common infections associated with health care, but its importance as a global health priority is not fully understood. We quantified the burden of SSI after gastrointestinal surgery in countries in all parts of the world. Methods: This international, prospective, multicentre cohort study included consecutive patients undergoing elective or emergency gastrointestinal resection within 2-week time periods at any health-care facility in any country. Countries with participating centres were stratified into high-income, middle-income, and low-income groups according to the UN's Human Development Index (HDI). Data variables from the GlobalSurg 1 study and other studies that have been found to affect the likelihood of SSI were entered into risk adjustment models. The primary outcome measure was the 30-day SSI incidence (defined by US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria for superficial and deep incisional SSI). Relationships with explanatory variables were examined using Bayesian multilevel logistic regression models. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02662231. Findings: Between Jan 4, 2016, and July 31, 2016, 13 265 records were submitted for analysis. 12 539 patients from 343 hospitals in 66 countries were included. 7339 (58·5%) patient were from high-HDI countries (193 hospitals in 30 countries), 3918 (31·2%) patients were from middle-HDI countries (82 hospitals in 18 countries), and 1282 (10·2%) patients were from low-HDI countries (68 hospitals in 18 countries). In total, 1538 (12·3%) patients had SSI within 30 days of surgery. The incidence of SSI varied between countries with high (691 [9·4%] of 7339 patients), middle (549 [14·0%] of 3918 patients), and low (298 [23·2%] of 1282) HDI (p < 0·001). The highest SSI incidence in each HDI group was after dirty surgery (102 [17·8%] of 574 patients in high-HDI countries; 74 [31·4%] of 236 patients in middle-HDI countries; 72 [39·8%] of 181 patients in low-HDI countries). Following risk factor adjustment, patients in low-HDI countries were at greatest risk of SSI (adjusted odds ratio 1·60, 95% credible interval 1·05–2·37; p=0·030). 132 (21·6%) of 610 patients with an SSI and a microbiology culture result had an infection that was resistant to the prophylactic antibiotic used. Resistant infections were detected in 49 (16·6%) of 295 patients in high-HDI countries, in 37 (19·8%) of 187 patients in middle-HDI countries, and in 46 (35·9%) of 128 patients in low-HDI countries (p < 0·001). Interpretation: Countries with a low HDI carry a disproportionately greater burden of SSI than countries with a middle or high HDI and might have higher rates of antibiotic resistance. In view of WHO recommendations on SSI prevention that highlight the absence of high-quality interventional research, urgent, pragmatic, randomised trials based in LMICs are needed to assess measures aiming to reduce this preventable complication
