Obstetric hemorrhages at the CHU-Yalgado Ouédraogo of Ouagadougou : etiological, therapeutic, and prognostic aspects.

To evaluate the maternal and perinatal prognosis of obstetric hemorrhages in the maternity department of the Yalgado Ouédraogo University Hospital of Ouagadougou. This descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in the four-month period from April through July 2015 included all women consulting on an emergency basis for vaginal bleeding during pregnancy at or after 28 weeks of gestation, or during labor, delivery, or the postpartum period. Obstetric hemorrhages accounted for 6% of admissions. The women's mean age was 27.7 years; 92.5% lived with a partner, and 43.1% were not employed outside the home. A retroplacental hematoma was the leading cause of antepartum hemorrhage, followed by placenta previa. Soft-tissue laceration was the primary cause of postpartum hemorrhage, accounting for 28.4% of these. Maternal morbidity was dominated by anemia with a fatality rate of 5.6%. With six twin pregnancies, there were 166 births : 60 stillbirths, and 106 live births (63.9%). The various neonatal morbidities encountered were mainly growth restriction (33.1%), prematurity (19.9%), and neonatal distress (19.3%). Obstetric hemorrhage, which affects young women who are often uneducated, unemployed, and of relatively low parity, is a serious public health problem. Both the maternal fatality rate and the perinatal mortality rate remain very high.

Psychoses puerpérales : aspects épidémiologiques, cliniques et thérapeutiques. A propos de 37 cas colligés dans le service de psychiatrie du CHU-Yalgado Ouédraogo de Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso

Objectif : Etudier les aspects épidémiologiques, cliniques et thérapeutiques des psychoses puerpérales dans le service de psychiatrie du CHU-Yalgado Ouédraogo. Patientes et méthodes : Nous avons mené une étude rétrospective à visée descriptive qui a porté sur 10 ans d'activité hospitalière (de janvier 2005 à décembre 2014). Notre étude a concerné toutes les patientes admises et hospitalisées pour psychoses puerpérales durant la période d'étude. Résultats : La fréquence hospitalière de la psychose puerpérale est de 2,2%. L'âge moyen des patientes était de 26,5 ± 5,3 ans avec des extrêmes de 17 et 37 ans. La tranche d'âge de 25 à 34 ans a représenté 56,8%. Les patientes vivant maritalement ont représenté 70,3% des cas. Les ménagères ont constitué 67,6% des cas. Dans notre série, les patientes primipares ont constitué 56,8% des cas. Nous avons noté chez 23 patientes soit 62,2%, une situation conflictuelle dans la famille. L'agitation et/ou l'agressivité a été constamment évoquée comme motif de consultation suivie de la logorrhée. Le refus d'allaiter a motivé la consultation dans 45,9% des cas. Le délire et les hallucinations ont été retrouvés respectivement chez 54,1% et 37,8% des patientes. Les troubles psychotiques ont représenté 56,8% des cas. La prise en charge thérapeutique des patientes était basée sur le volet psychothérapeutique et le volet chimio-thérapeutique. Conclusion : Un diagnostic précoce des psychoses puerpérales dans les services de maternité améliorerait le pronostic de cette affection

[Obstetric endometritis at the UTH-Yalgado Ouedraogo of Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso): about the management of 102 cases]. / Les endométrites obstétricales au CHU-Yalgado Ouédraogo de Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso). À propos de la prise en charge d'une série de 102 cas.

This is a descriptive cross-sectional study over a nine months period conducted at the UTH-Yalgado Ouédraogo from all patients in whom the diagnosis of endometritis at obstetrical been laid. Endo-cervical and vaginal swabs were taken from all these patients. Commensal bacteria and anaerobes were investigated in the laboratory. During the study period, 102 cases of obstetric endometritis were recorded that to say a frequency of 1.4% of admissions. The average age of patients was 25.2 years [17-43]. The childbirth mean was 2.5 ± 2 [0-7]. The reason for consultation was dominated by hyperthermia in 98% of cases. The bacterial ecosystem was mainly dominated by Escherichia coli (49.2%), Staphylococcus aureus (29.5%), Streptococcus sp (4.9%). The acid + amoxicillin clavulanic showed low activity on most germs. The average hospital stay of patients was 6.30 days [1-33]. A maternal death was recorded in 3 patients that to say fatality rate of 2.9%. The lethality of endometritis at the UTH-Yalgado Ouedraogo is greater than the rate of 1% allowed by WHO. The resistance of germs is high enough with amoxicillin. The systematization of the bacteriological study is expected to guide the antibiotic to help better fight against maternal mortality.

[Eclampsia at the University hospital Yalgado of Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) from 1 April 2013 to 31 March 2014]. / L'éclampsie au CHU-Yalgado de Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) du 1er avril 2013 au 31 mars 2014.

The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and prognostic aspects of the eclampsia in the obstetrics and gynecology department at the University Teaching Hospital Yalgado Ouedraogo of Ouagadougou. It has been a descriptive crosssectional study over a period of 12 months from 1 April 2013 to 31 March 2014. The main criterion for inclusion in our sample was the occurrence of seizures in a pregnant more than 20 weeks of gestation or recently delivered with elevation of blood pressure and the presence of albumin in the urine. The patients were followed from the onset of the crisis until hospital discharge. Data were collected and analyzed using Epi Info 3.5.1. The significance level of 5% was used for data comparison. We identified 203 cases of eclampsia for 6063 deliveries that to say a frequency of 3.3%. The average age of patients was 27.5 years [14-46]. In socio-demographic terms, patients were housewives in 62.5% of cases, the average rate of the past-deliver number was 4.2 [0-11] and 47.7% of patients were living as married. Clinically, they were referred in 72.4% of cases and were initially admitted into the service for elevation of blood pressure in 40.3% of cases. The mean gestational age was 31.5 weeks [23-41]; diastolic blood pressure exceeded 110 mmHg in 63.1% of cases. Therapeutically, all the patients benefited from a treatment based in anticonvulsant by magnesium sulfate and antihypertensive therapy by nicardipine, clonidine or alpha-methyl-dopa. Maternal prognosis was marked by significant morbidity in 46 cases (22.6%) and mortality in 13 patients that to say a fatality rate of 6.4%. The fetal one was dominated by a perinatal lethality in 31.5% of the cases. Eclampsia is a major cause of maternal and perinatal mortality in the University Teaching Hospital of Ouagadougou. The adoption of strategies for screening during antenatal consultations and early management should contribute to the reduction of the mortality in the mother and child couple in Burkina Faso.

Objectif : Decrire l'experience du departement de gynecologie obstetrique du CHU-YO dans la determination echographique du sexe fotal au premier trimestre de la grossesse Patientes et methodes : Il s'agissait d'une etude prospective de type descriptif pendant une periode de 30 mois allant du 1er fevrier 2013 au 30 juin 2014 au sein de l'unite d'echographie gynecologique et obstetricale du CHU-YO de Ouagadougou. L'echantillon d'etude a ete constitue de 311 fotus. Ont ete incluses dans cet echantillon toute les gestantes venue pour une echographie obstetricale en dehors de toute situation d'urgence dont l'age gestationnel etait compris entre la 11eme et la 14eme semaine d'amenorrhee et ayant exprime le desir de connaitre le sexe fotal. Les methodes decrites par Mazza et par Efrat ont ete utilisees pour la determination du sexe fotal. Les patientes ont ete suivies jusqu'a leur accouchement apres verification clinique du sexe des nouveau-nes. Le recueil des donnees a ete fait sur une fiche de collecte individuelle de donnees. La participation a l'etude a ete conditionnee a la signature d'un consentement eclaire par les patientes.Resultats : La determination du sexe fotal a ete possible chez 280 des 311 fotus; soit un taux de faisabilite de 89;7%. Chez les 31 autres cas; il n'a pas ete possible de determiner le sexe fotal; la position du fotus ne permettant pas de bien voir le bourgeon genital. Au niveau de la fiabilite; des 238 fotus qui ont ete suivis; la determination du sexe fotal a ete correcte chez 204 fotus soit un taux de succes de 85;7%. L'exactitude etait meilleure lorsque la determination du sexe etait faite apres 12 semaines d'amenorrhee. Il n'y avait pas de difference significative dans les mesures selon que la grossesse etait monofoetale ou multiple. Conclusion : La determination echographique du sexe fotal au premier pourrait etre une option efficace; simple; disponible et peu couteuse dans les pays en voie de developpement

Dogwood borer (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae) abundance and seasonal flight activity in apple orchards, urban landscapes, and woodlands in five eastern states.

The relative abundance and seasonal flight activity of dogwood borer, Synanthedon scitula Harris (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae), was measured using weekly records from traps baited with its sex pheromone and deployed in apple orchards, urban landscapes, and native woodland sites in New York, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee in 2005 and 2006. The mean total number of moths captured per site in apple orchards was 3,146 +/- 644 and 3095 +/- 584 SE in 2005 and 2006, respectively, exceeding captures at urban sites by 16 and 13 times and at woodland sites by 210 and 206 times in 2005 and 2006, respectively. Mean total captures at urban sites exceeded those in woodland habitats by 13 and 16 times in 2005 and 2006, respectively. The mean duration (wk) of the flight period did not differ significantly between apple orchards (22.6 +/- 0.6 SE) and urban sites (20.3 +/- 1.2 SE). The onset of flight was somewhat later in New York (around early June) than further south (around early to mid-May), but moth captures continued into October in all states. Captures in apple orchards and at urban sites with higher populations were essentially continuous throughout the flight period, with substantial weekly fluctuations, and tended to show a bimodal pattern with peaks from late May through mid-July and from late August through mid-September. Captures at woodland sites tended to occur predominantly from mid-May through about mid-June and were very sporadic thereafter.

Pest status of American plum borer (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and fruit tree borer control with synthetic insecticides and entomopathogenic nematodes in New York State.

Surveys were conducted in 1994 and 1995 to determine the pest status of the American plum borer, Euzophera semifuneralis (Walker), in New York State stone fruit crops. These surveys indicate that American plum borer is the most important of the wood-boring insects infesting tart cherries and also is an important pest in peaches suffering from canker diseases. It is not prevalent in plums or in healthy peaches. Trials to control American plum borer were conducted in tart cherry and peach by using chlorpyrifos, esfenvalerate, and 2 commercially available formulations of entomopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema feltiae (Filipjev) and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Poinar). Two applications of chlorpyrifos, timed at petal fall and at the beginning of the 2nd flight, effectively controlled the pest. One application of chlorpyrifos applied at petal fall did not provide effective season-long control, except where numbers were very low. Programs using 1 (petal fall) or 3 applications of esfenvalerate were ineffective. Control by either nematode formulation was insignificant.
