Childhood Illness (IMCI) guidelines, healthcare workers
(HCWs) should refer all severe pneumonia among children
under 5 seen in primary care in resource-limited
settings.
We investigated the frequency and correlates of missed
opportunities for hospital referral (MOHR) of clinical severe
pneumonia. Our study was embedded within the Amélio(...)

Land- Use Effects on Melliferous Woody Flora in Sudanian Agroforestry Parkland and Protected Area of West Africa
Issaka Wendpanga Kanazoe, Issa Nombré, Adama Zoungrana, Joseph Issaka Boussim
Land-use intensification alters vegetation structure and composition, with potential consequences for pollinator-dependent ecosystems in tropical regions. However, the distribution and availability of melliferous woody flora across contrasting land use types in West Africa remain poorly studied. This study evaluated melliferous floristic compo(...)

Internal Hernia through an Ovarian Cyst: Another Anatomical Particularity
Sawadogo Yamba Elie, Maïga Check Abdoul Fatao, Sam Aristide, Kambou Ollo, Ouédraogo Ida, Sanou Yves, Savadogo Julien, Kafando Roch, Ouangré Edgar
The authors describe a rare case of small-bowel obstruction caused by an internal hernia through a right ovarian cyst in a 52-year-old woman. Pre-operative CT suggested obstruction with a co-existing ovarian cyst, and laparotomy confirmed an incarcerated, perforated ileal loop that required wedge resection and cystectomy. The patient recovered(...)

Analysis and optimal control of a fractional-order model of a vector-borne disease
Ali Traoré; Rosaire Ouedraogo; Hamadoum Dicko
In this paper, a fractional-order model has been developed to study the transmission dynamics of a vector-borne disease. The use of fractional calculus, particularly through the Caputo derivative, provides a mathematical framework that accounts for memory effects and long-term dynamics often observed in vector-borne diseases. The difference be(...)

Framework for assessing genetic variation in livestock using demographic, pedigree, and genomic measures
Gábor Mészáros, Ino Curik, Dominique Ouedraogo, Jack Windig, Gregoire Leroy, Yuri Tani Utsunomiya, Pamela Burger, Licia Colli, Chang Xu, Paul Boettcher, Christian Looft and Johann Soelkner
Genetic variation within livestock populations underpins global food security, resilience, and the long-term sustainability of breeding programs. Despite its fundamental role, harmonized approaches for assessing and monitoring genetic variation across data sources remain limited. This review provides an integrated framework for assessing genet(...)

Substitution of Fish Meal with Poultry Intestine Meal and Domestic Fly Larvae (Musca domestica) in the Diet of Juvenile Clarias gariepinus
Badioula Coulibaly1, Halidou Komi2, Armel Djerma3, Nessan Désiré Coulibaly4 & Moussa Zongo5
The use of fishmeal and fish oil as ingredients in fish feed increases production costs and has long-term environmental impacts. This study aims to investigate alternative protein sources to fishmeal in fish feed to reduce production costs. To achieve this, maggot meal and poultry intestine meal were incorporated into feed and administered to(...)

Production and Evaluation of a Forest Litter and Jatropha curcas Cake-Based Biofertilizer Developed through Anaerobic Fermentation
Dagoro Pale, Delwendé Innocent Kiba, Souleymane Bissiri, Cheik Omar Tidiane Compaore, Mahamadi Nikiema, Pierre Christen, Ynoussa Maiga
The excessive use of chemical fertilizers leads to soil degradation and water pollution. Microbial biofertilizers have gained attention for promoting sustainable agriculture while protecting the environment. Fermented Forest Litter (FFL) is an organic fertilizer made by fermenting solid agricultural residues under anaerobiosis. It cont(...)

Assessing the clinical reasoning of large language models on complex rheumatology cases: A multidimensional evaluation of four artificial intelligence
Yannick Laurent Tchenadoyo Bayala , Fulgence Kaboré, Charles Sougué , Aboubakar Ouedraogo , Yamyellé Enselme Zongo , Wendlassida Joelle Stéphanie Zabsonré/Tiendrebeogo , and Dieu-Donné Ouedraogo
Background: Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated promising capabilities in medical diagnostic reasoning, yet
their performance in specialized clinical domains such as rheumatology remains incompletely characterized. While diagnostic
accuracy has been evaluated, critical dimensions including calibration, reasoning quality, and tempo(...)

Regard paysan face à l’Aflatoxine et les biocontrôles au Burkina Faso. Perceptions, canaux d’information et adoption de l’Aflasafe dans la province du Tuy.
Souleymane Karambiri Tionyélé Fayama Sombénéwendé Rasmata Zoungrana Dramane Traore Mahamoudou Sawadogo Alkassoum Maiga
L’aflatoxine constitue un problème sanitaire et économique majeur pour les filières du maïs et de l’arachide en Afrique
de l’Ouest. Malgré l’existence de solutions de biocontrôle telles que l’Aflasafe, leur adoption par les producteurs
demeure limitée et hétérogène. Cet article analyse les perceptions paysannes de l’aflatoxine et les facteur(...)

Medicinal plants are the major sources of drugs used to treat diseases. Scientific studies were performed on some plants, but few data are available on the medicinal plants used to manage bone diseases in Burkina Faso. This study was conducted to identify medicinal plants used in the treatment of osteoporosis and investigate the acute and subc(...)
