Forensic DNA database and criminal investigation in the Sahel region: A need to update the national security policy
Ongoing terrorist attacks in the Sahel region call for strengthening the security system by using human DNA identification technology. In this context, public opinion must be considered when establishing solid standards and universal safeguards for one of the most invasive forms of surveillance and profiling. For this purpose, we gathered internet users' opinions in Burkina Faso (a country located in the Sahel region) on the use of DNA technology…
Anthropological, Cultural and Ethical Aspects of Caring for Patients in Africa
Nowadays, faced with pandemic infectious diseases and incurable genetic pathologies with unfavorable prognoses, the concepts of quality of life, quality of care, and the challenges of the right to health for all are major challenges for global public health. These health crises push for anthropological, cultural, and ethical approaches that would promote good care for the sick in Africa. A synthesis study based on specialized scientific literatur…
Personalism in African Cultures and Ethics: The Examples of the Bantus in Central, Southern Africa and of the Mossi in West Africa
Currently, more than ever, the issue of the human being has been at the centre of debates. Each culture, each philosophical trend has been trying to break the mystery of Man and to give meaning and value to human activities. Throughout the world, “personalism” has taken many forms in the history of peoples’ philosophy. Therefore, in sub-Saharan Africa, some communities of the Bantu and of the Mossi developed their own “personalism” based on their…
Antibacterial and Anti-Inflammatory Activities of Crude Extracts of Three Togolese Medicinal Plants Against Esbl Klebsiella Pneumoniae Strains
Background: Pithecellobium dulce (Roxb.) Benth., Securidaca longepedunculata Fresn and Cryptolepis sanguinolenta (Lindl.) Schlt are three plants widely used in the Togolese traditional medicine to treat microbial infections. Some studies reported their antibacterial activity alone but until know there no data concerning their possible interaction with conventional antibiotics. The main objective of this study was to investigate the antibacterial …
Ethnobotanical Survey of Medicinal Plants Used in the Management of Hypertension in the Maritime Region of Togo
Background: Hypertension is one of the most common chronic diseases in modern societies and there is evidence that its incidence and severity are increasing. This survey was conducted to investigate the plants used by the Togolese traditional healers to treat the disease. Method: From January to June 2016, an ethnobotanical survey was conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire with traditional healers (TH) in the southern region of Togo. The…

Ethnobotanical Study of Plants Used to Treat Asthma in the Maritime Region in Togo
Background: Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in modern society and it is evident that its incidence and severity are increasing, however very little is known about the plants used in the management of the disease. This study therefore aimed to document the plants usage in the Togolese traditional medicine to treat asthma. Methodology: From January to June 2015, an ethnobotanical survey was conducted using a semi-structured questi…

Prevention of mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission in Burkina Faso: Evaluation of vertical transmission by PCR, molecular characterization of subtypes and determination of antiretroviral drugs resistanc…
BACKGROUND: Vertical human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission is a public health problem in Burkina Faso. The main objective of this study on the prevention of mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission was to determine the residual risk of HIV transmission in infants born to mothers receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Moreover, we detect HIV antiretroviral (ARV) drug resistance among mother-infant pairs and identify subtypes a…

Impact of maternal Haart on the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV: Results of an 18-month follow-up study in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Mother-to-child transmission remains the main cause of global pediatric HIV infections, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Many interventions based on single-dose antiretroviral therapy have been implemented to reduce the mother-to-child transmission of HIV. In resource-limited settings, highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has only been recommended for HIV-infected pregnant women requiring treatment for their own health. Here, we assessed…
Anthropological features of the CFTR gene: Its variability in an African population
The CFTR gene has been since long hypothesized to have undergone selection in Europeans. The present study by comparing Africans and Europeans for the overall variability of the gene supports this hypothesis
Genes, diet and uric acid nephrolithiasis
Uric acid represent the final product of purine metabolism: one-third of daily uric acid production is excreted by the gastrointestinal tract and two-thirds by the kidney. A high uric acid excretion with urine, a low urine volume due to dehydration and an acidic urinary pH value have been suggested to be the most important risk factor for uric acid nephrolithiasis (UAN). Recently mutation analysis showed that a variant (Ala62Thr) in a specific pr…
Antimalarial activity of Sida acuta Burm. f. (Malvaceae) and Pterocarpus erinaceus Poir. (Fabaceae)
Anthropological consideration on prevalence and fitness of β C and β S genotypes in Burkina Faso (a survey in the public schools)
We have studied To study the incidence of hemoglobinopathies (Hb C and Hb S) we have examined in 15,367 students, aged 11.4+/−4.64 years (median 11; range 1–26), living in Burkina Faso (12,019 were students of 23 public schools of Ouagadougou and 3348 students of 7 public schools situated in six villages about 12–35 Km from Ouagadougou). In all groups studied, β S and β C gene frequencies were age dependent there was an age dependency of the β S …
Confirmation of the Potential Usefulness of Two Human Beta Globin Pseudogene Markers to Estimate Gene Flows to and from Sub-Saharan Africans
Two polymorphic sites, -107 and -100 with respect to the "cap" site of the human beta globin pseudogene, recently discovered in our laboratory, turned out to have an ethnically complementary distribution. The first site is polymorphic in Europeans, North Africans, Indians (Hindu), and Oriental Asians, and monomorphic in sub-Saharan Africans. Conversely, the second site is polymorphic in sub-Saharan African populations and monomorphic in the afore…
