Phytoremediation of Mine Tailing – Potential of Chrysopogon Zizanioides and Andropogon Gayanus in a Sahelian Climate
Yamma Rose, Kone Martine, Yonli Arsène, Wanko Ngnien Adrien
The pollution of soil and, by extension, water resources by pollutants from mining operations is a major threat to Burkina
Faso due to the lack of waste treatment. Phytoremediation is an alternative way of cleaning up soil contaminated by pollutants
from mining waste. The ability of Chrysopogon zizanioides and Andropogon gayanus to accumulat(...)

An expression quantitative trait locus of Fc gamma receptor genes is associated with antimalarial IgG responses and infection levels in Burkinabe families
Christelle Dieppois, Mathieu Adjemout, Jules Cretin, Frederic Gallardo, Magali Torres, Christophe Picard, Serge Aimé Sawadogo, Pascal Rihet, Pascale Paul.
Bakground: The interaction between antibodies and Fcy receptors (FcyRs) plays a critical role in regulating immune responses to Plasmodium falciparum. Polymorphisms in genes encoding FcyRs influence the host's capacity to control parasite infection. The study investigates whether noncoding variants influencing FcyR expression are associated wi(...)

Due to a lack of resources, the diagnosis of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a challenge in Burkina Faso and West Africa, making MRSA surveillance difficult. In our study, we included 33 beta-lactam resistant S. aureus isolates from the Ouagadougou region which we further tested for susceptibility to cefoxitin using stand(...)

Le Maroc de la résistance anticoloniale à l’indépendance et à la réalisation de l’unité africaine, 1921-1963
Magloire Somé
La conquête coloniale a provoqué des résistances parfois opiniâtres un peu partout en Afrique. Si à la fin du XIXe et au début du XXe siècle, par la pacification aux moyens opérations de police, elles furent réduites, le fait de la résistance s’est poursuivi sur plusieurs formes. On a pu noter un peu partout des révoltes, sinon de véritables g(...)

Sayouba Tinto, Alexandre Stanislas Korsaga, Anatole Jean Innocent Ouedraogo, Hervé Pilabré, Magloire Dingamnodji, Mamoudou Sawadogo and Mohamed Tall
Bimalleolar fractures are common injuries that have a favorable outcome if treated
properly. Weber type C fractures require osteosynthesis of the malleoli and stabilization
of the tibiofibular syndesmosis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the treatment of these
injuries using a less expensive technique involving pins and steel wire for(...)
