Twelve judokas finalists from the 2018 National Championship, including two women, participated in this study conducted as a series of semi-structured individual interviews. Judokas' perception of RWL, motivation for its use and actual practices in terms of frequencies and techniques were investigated. More than two-thirds of the participants (70%) believe that RWL does not have any consequences on health. They achieve their weight loss by combining several techniques (food deprivation, plastic sun drills, additional training and use of laxatives). They performed RWL for less than a week at a frequency of 3 to 4 times a year. The main reasons for employing this practice are the desire to win, the fear of opponents and encouragement from coaches. This survey revealed that judokas in Cote d'Ivoire are not we...

Methodologie et Resultats : 62 souris de souche swiss dont 22 temoins et 40 animaux experimentaux ont ete soumis a une epreuve du labyrinthe en T. Les temoins consommaient de l’eau ordinaire comme boisson. Les animaux experimentaux ont ete repartis en deux groupes : 20 souris alcoolises au koutoukou durant 3 mois et 20 autres souris alcoolisees au koutoukou durant 6 mois. La comparaison du taux d’alternance spontanee serielle entre les deux groupes experimentaux a montre une diminution plus marquee de ce taux (alternance) chez les animaux alcoolises durant 6 mois. Quant aux epreuves d’alternance differees, elles ont montre que ce taux chute significativement des 6 heures (delai entre la phase d’acquisition et la phase de restitution) chez les souris traitees au...

Moderate doses of alcohol were administered to rats during gestation and the effects on the memory of progeny were assessed. The data indicate that from 0.3 gram per liter, any dose of alcohol becomes potentially harmful to the health of a fetus. Below this dose (0.1 grams per liter), even if the results obtained are not different from those of the controls, it is necessary to remain cautious since this study appreciates only one aspect on the memory. Indeed, there may be abnormalities on other functions with a daily consumption of 0.1grams per liter. It is therefore important to stress that the most cautious recommendation is abstinence throughout pregnancy because the dose limit Remains unknown.

[2] en 2014 et James et al. [3] en 2015 ont montre que le cercle arteriel de la base de l’encephale de l’aulacode etait uniquement dependant des arteres vertebrales, mais aucune etude n’est retrouvee dans la litterature sur leur anatomie. L’objectif de ce travail etait de contribuer a enrichir les connaissances actuelles sur l’anatomie neurovasculaire de l’aulacode. Materiels et methodes Douze arteres vertebrales ont ete injectees au latex neoprene puis dissequees afin d’etudier l’origine, le trajet, la terminaison, les branches et les territoires d’irrigation encephalique du systeme vertebro-basilaire. Resultats Naissant de l’artere subclaviere, les arteres vertebrales droite et gauche s’anastomosaient a la face ventrale de la moelle allongee pour former l’artere basilaire. Celle-ci se divisait en regard du sillon ponto-mesencepalique, en deux branches terminales qui se dirigeaient en avant pour former l’artere cerebrale rostrale abandonnant sur son passage les arteres cerebelleuse rostrale, cerebrale caudale, et cerebrale moyenne. L’artere cerebrale caudale vascularisait le lobe piriforme, le cortex temporal infero-medial, le lobe occipital et la partie postero-inferieure de l’hemisphere cerebral. L’artere cerebrale moyenne, vascularisait les pedoncules, les tubercules et les stries olfactifs, les lobes piriformes ; le chiasma optique et le sillon rhinal. L’artere cerebrale rostrale vascularisait le lobe frontale et les faces medianes et laterales du bulbe olfactif. Le cercle etait ouvert rostralement par la gauche dans 16,67 % des cas. Discussion Comme chez le cobaye [4] les arteres vertebrales etaient des branches ipsilaterales des arteres subclavieres a la difference des constatations de certains auteurs [2] , [5] . L’artere basilaire se terminait en se divisant en deux branches terminales qui donnaient les arteres cerebrales rostrales apres avoir abandonne sur leur trajet les arteres cerebrales, caudale et moyenne comme decrit chez le chinchilla et le capybara. Conclusion Le systeme vertebro-basilaire de l’aulacaude n’a pas la meme configuration anatomique que la plupart des rongeurs.

The purpose of this study was to investigated and evaluated the existing knowledge of illegal types of drug usage among youth groups and its associated behavioral disorders and effects in Grand-Bassam district (Côte d'Ivoire). Urine samples were collected from each participant, amongst targeted youth populations for analysis, participants (n=442), age (≥14 years), both genders were randomly selected. Basic information, economic status, and drug usage history were collected using structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed using Python and GraphPad (Prism 8.4.2). Our results finding show that people age 20-35 years with highest illicit drug consumption (57.7%), tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) was the most consumed illicit product, followed by benzodiazepines (BZO) with 92.09% and 24.05%, respectively. The commo...

Among the interviewed pupils, 316 (10.06%) admitted having already consumed at least once of drug. Among them, 258 boys (either 12,08%) already consumed drug against 58 girls (or 5,77%). This study evaluated the proportion of the consumers by age bracket. Thus, three age brackets were considered to range from [9-13 years, [13 - 19 years, and [19 - 22 years]. The results indicate that 578 pupils from 9 years old and less than 13 years, 27 (that is to say 4,67%) consume these substances. Among the 13 years old pupils to less than 19 years, 173 on a total of 1634 individuals consume drug (either 10,59%) and 12,49% of the pupils from 19 to 22 years are also consumers. The consumption of drug was also evaluated at its subjects surveyed by level of study. Thus, the distinction is...

(Passifloraceae) is widely used in Ivorian traditional pharmacopeia to heal various chronic diseases, relieve headache and pain of gingiva inflammation, and facilitate labor. Here, we investigated the effects of hydroethanolic extract Adenia lobata (HEAL) on nociceptive pain and subsequent anxiety-like behavior. Materials and Methods: We used several experimental pain tests as the writhing, formalin and hot plate to evaluate both antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory actions of the extract. Anxiety related to nociception was tested with open field and elevated plus maze tests. Then, mice were sacrificed for assessing some oxidative stress markers. Results: The extract of 30 mg/kg, p.o. reduced in the similar manner as reference peripheral drug salcylicacetic acid (ASA, 200 mg/kg, i.p.) the number of writhings induced by acid acetic. In both neurogenic and inflammatory phases of formalin test, the extract demonstrated an effective antinociceptive ...
