The Frequency of CYP2C19*2 Gene Polymorphisms in Burkina Faso Patients Treated with Clopidogrel
Yves Donald Kagambèga, Abdoul Karim Ouattara, Teega-Wendé Clarisse Ouédraogo, Lassina Traoré, Nobila Valentin Yaméogo, Jacques Simpore
Purpose: The hepatic cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) superfamily plays a crucial role in converting clopidogrel into its active form. Polymorphisms in CYP2C19 significantly contribute to the interindividual variability observed, often resulting in persistent thromboembolic complications. This study aimed to assess the frequency of the CYP2C19*2(...)

Development of a novel foam-templated oleogel based on xanthan gum-modified Torreya grandis nut protein
Ningxiang Yu, Zhiyuan Wei, Kaili Gao, Abel Wend-Soo Zongo, Hongcai Cheng, Xiaohua Nie, Yuanchao Lu, Qin Ye, Xianghe Meng
The growing consumer demand for healthier food products with reduced levels of saturated and trans fats has driven significant interest in the development of oleogels as solid fat alternatives. In this study, a novel foam-templated oleogel was fabricated using Torreya grandis nut protein (TGNP) as a foamer. The results showed that a 9 % TGNP c(...)

Exploring the spoilage microbiota of raw and processed meats under different storage environments and its related profiling methods: a review
Bassirou Ndoye, Mamoudou H. Dicko & Colin Gill
Raw and processed meats are potentially rich ecosystems colonized by a variety of
microorganisms whose growth and viability are strongly dependent on storage
conditions. Furthermore, for their own adaptations, microorganisms can release
exocellular compounds which contribute to meat spoilage due to changes in
physicochemical parameters acc(...)

Diversité végétale des bois sacrés suivant les secteurs phytogéographiques au Burkina Faso (Afrique de l’Ouest)
Savadogo S., Dimobe K., Ouoba YH
Au Burkina Faso, les bois sacrés sont des formations végétales protégées par les populations à des fins cultuelles. Ils sont préservés de l’action destructrice humaine car ils suscitent la crainte parmi les populations. Afin de montrer leur importance dans la conservation de la diversité végétale, les bois sacrés ont fait l’objet d’étude dans(...)

Background: Dengue fever is a major public health problem in Burkina Faso. Some people infected by dengue virus develop a severe dengue (SD) and potentially fatal form of the disease which are dengue hemorrhagic syndrome or dengue shock syndrome. Host genetic factors may be relevant, predisposing some individuals to severe disease. Polymorphis(...)

Disorders of Biochemical Parameters Associated with Protein-energy Malnutrition in Adults Hospitalized in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Alice Kiba-Koumaré, Fabienne Soudré, Raoul Karfo, Claude Kocola, Arnaud Kouraogo, Elié Kabré, Jean Sakandé
The assessment of the nutritional status of the hospitalized person is often considered secondary to the pathologies justifying hospitalization. A multicenter study conducted in six Belgian hospitals showed a risk of malnutrition in just over one in five patients. This malnutrition during hospitalization is more frequent in the elderly and tho(...)

Background In aquatic larval habitats, Anopheles larvae are subject to the predatory activity and competition
of macroinvertebrates. These macroinvertebrates may play a key role in the Anopheles population’s bioregulation
in aquatic habitats and malaria control. There are few studies characterizing macroinvertebrate predators and other
macr(...)
