ABSTRACT
Bowel transit disturbances favored by pregnancy and injuries during childbirth would be triggering or aggravating factors for anal pathologies. The objective of this work was to study the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of anal pathologies during pregnancy and 6 weeks after delivery. We carried out a prospective, multi-centric, and analytical study in 10 obstetric units in Bamako from June 1st, 2019, to May 31st, 2020. After informed consent, we enrolled all first-trimester pregnant women admitted to the hospitals and who were followed up through the postpartum. We conducted a rectal examination in each participant and an anoscope in those with an anal symptom. Hemorrhoidal diseases were diagnosed in the case of external hemorrhoids (thrombosis or prolapse) or internal hemorrhoids. During the study period, we followed up 1,422 pregnant women and we found 38.4% (546) with anal pathologies (hemorrhoidal diseases in 13% (192), anal fissure in 10.5% (150) and anal incontinence in 8.6% (123). Risk factors for the hemorrhoidal disease were age of patient ≥30 years old aRR=5.77, 95% CI 4.57-7.34; p=0.000; a existence of chronic constipation aRR=2.61, 95% CI 1.98-3.44; p=0.000; newborn weight >3500 g aRR= 1.61, 95% CI 1.25-2.07; p=0.000 and fetal expulsion time >20 minutes aRR= 6.04, 95% CI 5.07-7.27; p=0.000. The clinical signs observed were constipation, anal pain, bleeding, and pruritus. The treatment was based on counseling on hygiene and diet, the use of laxatives, local topicals, and analgesics along perineal rehabilitation. Anal pathologies were common during pregnancy and 6 weeks after delivery. Pregnant women must be screened systematically for such pathologies. Early diagnostic and appropriate treatment would reduce serious complications.

Caesarean sections (CS) are becoming increasingly popular. The antibiotic resistance crisis and relentless risk of infections, especially in developing countries, demand alternative treatment options. Medical-grade honey (MGH) exerts antimicrobial and healing properties. This study aims to evaluate the effect of MGH treatment on CS wound healing and postoperative complications when compared to conventional treatment (antibiotics in combination with povidone-iodine). In this prospective cohort study, 766 CS patients were included and evenly divided into two groups. The treatment group (n = 383) received an MGH-based formulation (L-Mesitran Soft) and the control group (n = 383) received antibiotics (Amoxicillin) combined with povidone-iodine. The wound healing time and complication rate were determined for both groups, and subsequently, predisposing factors for complications among the baseline characteristics and non-patient-related parameters were determined. The baseline characteristics were similar for both study groups, supporting a homogenous distribution. Postoperative complications were experienced by 19.3% of the patients in the control group and 18.8% in the treatment (MGH) group. The treatment group experienced significantly more superficial pus discharge than the control group, while the latter experienced significantly more deeper pus discharge. BMI, age, duration of hospitalization, anesthesia, and duration of CS could affect the complication risk. MGH significantly enhanced wound healing until day 42. On average, the healing time with MGH was 19.12 ± 7.760 days versus 24.54 ± 8.168 days in the control group. MGH is a potent alternative treatment to antibiotics and povidone-iodine because while the complication risk is similar, MGH has additional benefits. MGH promotes wound healing and does not bear the risk of resistance.
ABSTRACT
L'objectif était d'évaluer les facteurs de risque de la RU et de proposer les aspects thérapeutiques. Matériels et méthodes : Nous avons réalisé une étude cas-témoins au centre de santé de Référence de Bougouni en 2019. Résultats : De janvier au 31 décembre 2019; sur 1161 accouchements 43 RU ont été enregistrées soit 3,7% correspondant à une RU pour 27 accouchements. Les patientes de 35 ans et plus ont été plus touchée par la RU (44,2%) avec ORaIC95%= 6,3 [1,5 - 26,3]. Les évacuations obstétricales avaient un ORaIC95%=25,6 [7,8- 83,7]. La totalité des patientes étaient des femmes au foyer (97,7%) des cas versus (82,3%) des témoins avec ORaIC95%= 8,9 (1,1-69). Les Paucipares et multipares avaient respectivement un ORaIC95%= 6,2 [1,8 - 20,3] et 4,1[1,3 - 12,9]. La cicatrice utérine (20,9%) des cas contre 8,1 % les témoins avait un ORaIC95%= 2,9 [1,1 - 8,7]. En effet l'absence de CPN étaient un facteur de risque, ORaIC95%= 3,0 [1,3 6,9]. Le délai de la RU était Ë 6 heures chez 95%. En effet 34 RU complètes (79,1%) et 9 RU incomplètes (20,9%) ont été notées. Seulement 2,3 % des cas avaient accouché par voie basse. Le traitement de la RU reposait sur la chirurgie (100%) complétée par celui du choc (51,2%) des cas et de l'infection (100%) des cas. Conclusion: La RU est fréquente dans nos pays sous médicalisés. Sa prévention efficace passe par des stratégies visant à agir sur les facteurs de risque
The objective was to assess the risk factors for and to suggest therapeutic aspects. Materials and methods: We carried out a case-control study at the Bougouni Reference health center in 2019. Results: From January to December 31, 2019; out of 1161 deliveries, 43 uterine rupture were recorded, 3.7% corresponding to one uterine rupture for 27 deliveries. Patients 35 years and older were more affected by uterine rupture (44.2%) with ORaIC95% = 6.3 [1.5 - 26.3]. Obstetric evacuations had an ORaIC95% = 25.6 [7.8-83.7]. All of the patients were housewives (97.7%) versus (82.3%) controls with ORaIC95% = 8.9 (1.1-69). Pauciparous and multiparous had an ORaIC95% = 6.2 [1.8 - 20.3] and 4.1 [1.3 - 12.9], respectively. The uterine scar (20.9%) of cases versus 8.1% of controls had a 95% ORaIC95% = 2.9 [1.1 - 8.7]. Indeed the absence of ANC was a risk factor, ORaIC95% = 3.0 [1.3 - 6.9]. The time to uterine rupture was Ë 6 hours in 95%. In fact 34 complete uterine rupture (79.1%) and 9 incomplete uterine rupture (20.9) were noted. Only 2.3% of cases gave birth vaginally. Treatment of uterine rupture was based on surgery (100%) supplemented by shock (51.2%) of cases and infection (100%) of cases. Conclusion: Uterine rupture is common in our countries under medical care. Its effective prevention involves strategies aimed at acting on risk factors.

ABSTRACT
Introduction. L'âge maternel ne cesse de reculer ces derniers années.Le but était d'étudier le pronostic de l'accouchement chez les gestantes de 35 ans et plus à l' l'hôpital Fousseyni Daou de Kayes. Méthodologie. Il s'agissait d'une étude descriptive à collecte prospective Castémoins qui a concerné la période du 1er janvier 2018 au 31 décembre 2018. Lescas étaient constitués par toutes les gestantes de 35 ans et plus ayant accouché à la maternité et lestémoins par toutes les gestantes de 20-30 ans ayant accouché à la maternité. Résultat. Durant nôtre étude nous avons enregistré 260 accouchements chez les gestantes ayant un âge supérieur ou égal 35 ans sur un total de de 4127 accouchements réalisés soit une fréquence de 6,3%.L'âge moyen chez les cas était de 38ans contre 24 ans chez les témoins. 65,4% de cas ont accouché par voie basse contre 68,8% chez les témoins. La césarienne a été réalisée chez 32,3% des contre 30% chez les témoins. Les principales complications retrouvées ont été l'hémorragie du post-partum, la déchirure périnéale, la déchirure cervicale et la mortalité maternelle. Chez les cas 79% des nouveau-nés avaient un score d'APGAR supérieur à 7 contre 88,8% chez les témoins. Conclusion. L'accouchement chez les gestantes de 53 ans et plus est fréquent dans nôtre service. Les complications obstétricales augmentent avec l'âge maternel et sont très fréquentes au cours de cette période

Endoscopic surgery of ectopic pregnancy is actually the gold standard for the management of fallopian tubal diseases. A survey was conducted to evaluate fertility in patients who underwent endoscopic management for ectopic pregnancy. A retrospective study was conducted at the department of general and endoscopic surgery of the Point "G" teaching hospital, in Bamako, Mali, from January 1st 2007 to December 31, 2016. Forty-eight (48) patients who underwent endoscopic management of tubal ectopic pregnancy and who have been followed up for fertility were included in this study. Statistical tests used were X2 or Fisher test and their confident interval, p <1 % has been considered as statistically significant. The therapeutic score of Pouly was less than 4 in 25.0% (n = 12). The return to fertility was observed among 48.0% of patients (n = 23). The chance of conception was less than 80.0% after the fourth postoperative year (p=0.001). The outcome of pregnancies has been seventeen full-term pregnancies, three ectopic pregnancies and three miscarriages. The occurrence of pregnancy after endoscopic management indicated for ectopic pregnancy is possible. However, many factors can influence the future conception.

In the first-time admission unit, psychological containment is based essentially on receivingthe patient in crisis. While the management of the crisis is inseparable from containment, the drawing up of the patient's history, centred on observation, transfer and the clinical aspect, is a key stage in the patient's care. In an institution, the nursing team will, through its creativity, invent the care, seeking a possible alliance.
