Isotropic problem with non homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition and L1-data
Boureima SAWADOGO, Stanislas OUARO, Adama KABORE
The purpose of this paper is to study an isotropic problem with non homogeneous Dirichlet
boundary condition and L1-data in a variable-exponent Sobolev space. We start by showing
the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution when the source term is bounded. Finally,
we use a problem-based approach to prove the existence and uniqueness o(...)

Determination of reference ranges for creatinine and uremia in children aged 1 to 5 years
SOUDRE Fabienne Marie B.T.B.1, ADJAMI Jean-Christian2, KARFO Raoul1, KIBA Alice1, KOURAOGO Arnaud3, KABRE Elie1, SAKANDE Jean1
Introduction: In children, defining reference ranges is of paramount importance because normal values extrapolated from adult data can lead to misinterpretation. The objective of the study was to determine the reference ranges for creatinine and urea levels in children aged 1 to 5 years at the Charles de Gaulle Pediatric University Hospital Ce(...)

SOUDRE Fabienne Marie B.T.B.1, KARFO Raoul1, KIBA Alice1, KOURAOGO Arnaud2, VOKOUMA N. Edwige Isabelle1, KABRE Elie1, SAKANDE Jean1
Introduction: Nephrotic syndrome is a common chronic kidney disease in children, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. In Burkina Faso, it represents a real challenge for pediatric care. In addition to kidney damage, nephrotic syndrome is often accompanied by dyslipidemia, which is implicated in worsening prognosis and cardiovascular risk. Howev(...)

Background: Burkina Faso faces a growing burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), which account for 45.5% of all deaths. Physical inactivity is recognized as a major and modifiable risk factor for these diseases. Promoting physical activity has therefore become a public health imperative. The efforts of the Global Observatory for Physical Ac(...)
