[Mandibular fractures in children. Apropos of 20 cases].

Authors report their experiences about the caring for child mandible fractures at Yalgado Ouedraogo University Hospital Centre, CHUYO. These fractures constitute day-to-day relative immediate emergencies. The techniques of retention used after bone setting are various. Ligatures with steel thread are frequently used. The retention is shortened because of the quick strengthening noticed in child. The satisfying results reveal the necessity of classical retention and ligatures with steel thread in jawbone fractures.

[Oro-facial manifestations during AIDS/HIV infection. Apropos of 60 cases seen at the Ambulatory Treatment Center in Ouagadougou and at the Yalgado University Hospital Center].

The opportinistics complaints of the AIDS occur all along the episode of the infection and depend on the individual's body immunity and on the existence or no of an anti-retroviral treatment. The buccal appearences on the face are relatively frequent. They are dominated by the buccal mycosis, the lymphatic ganglion's complaints, the inflammation of gums and buccal mucous, and the tooth decay in our context. Some authors suggest a classification that can make easy their study and treatment. Complaints like the herpes simplex infection, the herpes zoster infection, are usually found during the symptomatic stage non AIDS, whereas others like KAPOSI's disease are typical to AIDS disease. The availlability of an anti-retroviral treatment and a specialized one strenghten the efficiency of the reimbursement and improve the prognosis.

[Spiruline as a food supplement in case of infant malnutrition in Burkina-Faso].

BACKGROUND: Spiruline, a microscopic algae with nutritious quality was put forward as food supplement to fight malnutrition in infant. POPULATION AND METHODS: To assess its effectiveness, a survey was carried out among children with malnutrition whose Z-score was <2 for their age, in the Koudougou province, Burkina-Faso. Within five centers, three groups were defined at randomization: group 1 with usual nutritional rehabilitation program, group 2 as above + 5 g x d(-1) of spiruline, group 3 as above + spiruline + fish. 182 children, aged three months - three years, were originally involved. Six died (3.3%) and 11 hospitalised were excluded; the study was carried out on 165 children and lasted three months. Judging criteria were: length per aged, weight for length group evolution and the corresponding Z-score at 60 et 90 days. RESULTS: At the inclusion, children were aged 14.6 months on average and weighed 6.7 kg (Z-score of -3.2 weight/age) with a length of 71.4 cm (-2.0 Z-score length/age) and weight for length of 0.093 (-2.5 Z-score). 9.4% had oedema. There were no noticeable differences between the three groups as to weight gain, length gain, weight for length gain. CONCLUSION: A 5 g x d(-1) spiruline dose does not bring any benefit over 90 days, compared to traditional renutrition. Furthermore, at the moment, it is costly, and the battle against infant malnutrition cannot be based on one single element, such as a wonder drug, but on a national or local policy based on training, education, economical aid, and nutritional rehabilitation centers and infection treatment.

[Obesity, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus among school children in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso)].

This paper deals with the findings of a survey conducted at the school environnement in Ouagadougou. Three factors of cardiovascular risks were identified: obesity, high blood pressure, and diabete millitus. The survey was based on a sample of 1470 students from primary and secondary schools consisted in taking their blood pressure, measuring they weight and height and glycaemia using dextrostix. Of the 1470 students targeted, 668 were girls and 782 were boys. Their age ranges between 4 and 25 years with average age of 13.8 years. 55 % of the students had an average socio-economic backgrounds. 58 students or 3.94% had high blood pressure including 50 cases of maximum high blood pressure and 8 cases of confirmed high blood pressure (HBP). A diastolic HBP predominance among 48 cases or 3.26% was also recorded. While 1 case showed systolic HBP, 6 were systolo-diastolic. The quetelet index used to determine obesity revealed 28 cases of excess in weight or 1.90% of the cases and 4 cases of obesity, or 0.28%. The predominance of excess in weight was statistically significant among girls. Only 1 case of obesity was associated with high blood pressure. No case of diabetes was identified. The factors of cardiovascular risk seem to be statistically important in school environnement in Ouagadougou. However, an muticentered study is recommended, as it will lead to an exhaustive knowledge of the prevalence of these factors of cardiovascular risk.

[Population, migration, and development].

"Rapid demographic growth in Africa has not been accompanied by economic development. It has generated important flows to the North. Family planning programs will not be sufficient to solve the problems caused by...demographic growth and they will most likely increase in the future. Controls of these [outflows] are unlikely to effective. Under these conditions, only the economic development of the South will allow the limitation of outmigration." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA)
