ÉVALUATION DU RISQUE DE SURVENUE DU CARCINOME HEPATOCELLULAIRE (SCORES REACH-B ET PAGE-B) CHEZ DES PARTIENTS PORTEURS CHRONIQUES DU VIRUS DE L’HEPATITE B À OUAGADOUGOU AU BURINA FASO
Guingané NA, Kaboré A, Ido R, Sia R, Soudré S, Coulibaly A, Zoungrana L, Somda S, Béré C, Sombié R, Bougouma A, Sawadogo A
Introduction: Long-term follow-up of patients with chronic hepatitis B is sometimes difficult in our context, because it is costly and results in many lost to follow-up. The development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk scores could make it possible to identify high-risk patients for optimal follow-up.
Patients and methods: This is a de(...)

Female sex workers (FSW) are one of the most HIV-vulnerable groups, making it crucial to estimate the rate and associated(...)

D. D. SOME , H. USUI, M. J. SINDETE , K. MITSUSE , J. L. PASTOR and T. HINO
The liquidity index is a crucial factor in geotechnical engineering
used to assess soil behavior under varying loading conditions. It
provides valuable information about a soil's deformability when
subjected to loads, which is vital for structural and foundation
design. In the domain of soil-cement, especially within the deep
mixing(...)
