Published: July 2022

Background: Schistosoma mansoni liver fibrosis is a complicated multicellular process involving numerous cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors. TGF-b1 and IL-13 have been identified as critical pro-fibrotic mediators in many studies. IL-17A was linked to enhanced TGF-b1 and IL-13-induced pathologies.  Objective: This case-control study aimed to explore the effect of IL-17A on TGF-b1 and IL-13-induced liver fibrosis during experimentally schistosomiasis mansoni infection. Material and Methods: A total of forty laboratory-bred female C57BL/6 mice were divided into four equal groups, G1 non-infected, G2 infected wild type (WT), G3 infected/anti-IL-17 mAb and G4 treated mice. Mice were infected percutaneously with 40±5 cercariae per mouse. Neutralizing IL-17 mAb was administered to G3 intraperitoneally 3 weeks after infection and then every third day until 2 days before sacrification; mice of G4 were treated with a single dose of praziquantel. Serum levels of TGF-b1, IL-13, IL-17A and proinflammatory cytokines were measured by ELISA. Liver granulomas were identified by hematoxylin-eosin stain and measured by an ocular micrometer.

DOES AN INCLUSIVE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT DEPRESS NEIGHBOURHOOD HOUSE PRICES? A CASE STUDY OF COSMO CITY, JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA.
Authors:   University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, SIMBANEGAVI P , IJASAN K ,   University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg
Published: July 2022

South Africa joined the global world in building inclusive housing, known as Mixed Income Housing (MIH) as a way to integrate and transform residential markets previously distorted by the discriminatory apartheid regime. However, despite the benefits of MIHs in deconcentrating poverty while boosting housing supply, these inclusive neighbourhoods often experience amplified cases of ‘Not in My Back Yard’ (NIMBY) for various reasons. Thus, approval processes of these inclusive housing developments get to be highly contested in courts, which causes huge delays in their completion. The paper aims to investigate the effect of NIMBY on the price of houses in a mixed-income neighbourhood. The paper used a cross sectional hedonic model on houses sold in the neighbourhood of Cosmo City MIH. The limitation is that a typical and purposely selected Cosmo city case study may not be generalizable to South Africa at large. Results show that Cosmo City had negligible effects on neighbourhood house prices. This is rather surprising given the unfavourable perception encountered during its development. The practical implication is that improving infrastructure such as roads to reduce traffic congestion, building new schools, new hospitals, security services, and new shopping centers reduce pressure on available services and amenities making inclusive housing acceptable in its neighbourhood. The social implication is that inclusive housing developments default into supplying the much-needed social housing in South Africa. Scientifically measuring perception on accepting MIH development projects in well-established neighbourhoods does contribute to understanding the plight of housing shortage by the public in ways that accepts inclusivity from an investment point of view.
MULTI-DIMENSIONAL MODEL FOR FLOOD VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT IN MOKWA: A CASE OF DOWNSTREAM COMMUNITIES OF KAINJI DAM, NIGER STATE, NIGERIA

One of the most devastating and expensive natural hazards in the world today is flooding. Hence, several attempts have been made by different scholars and researchers across the globe and in Nigeria to study flood vulnerability. These studies focused on assessing either the physical or social components of vulnerability without a holistic assessment of all vulnerability components. A multi-dimensional approach to flood risk assessment is required to provide a holistic view of residents’ degree of vulnerability to flooding. However, where the multidimensional approach was adopted the result were aggregated and not localized to specific areas. Therefore, this study attempts to quantify the vulnerability indicators using the participatory approach and develop a multi-dimensional approach for flood vulnerability assessment in Mokwa, Nigeria. Vulnerability was explored through the lens of four dimensions (economic, environmental, physical, and social) and eighteen indicators. The indicators were scrutinized and standardized for easy aggregation and comparability. The indicators were weighted unequally using Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP). Nine communities and 382 households were selected purposively from the downstream area of the Kainji dam for sampling. The data collected were subjected to descriptive and inferential statistics using XLSTAT (2014) and spatial analysis in ARCGIS 10.7 environment. The flood vulnerability index revealed that the communities experienced high flood vulnerability from all dimensions; economic (0.71), physical (0.66), social (0.62), and environmental (0.57). The study reported a multi-dimensional flood vulnerability index of 0.65, which implies a high level of vulnerability to flooding. This study has found significant variations in all dimensions of vulnerability among the communities. The study concludes that the multi-dimensional approach to flood vulnerability provides information on the vulnerable population as well as the factors driving vulnerability in the area. The study recommends the use of a multi-dimensional approach, sophisticated models, site-specific indicators, and fine-resolution satellite data for future vulnerability assessment.
DISASTER MANAGEMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA’S INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS: POLICY, PRACTICE AND COVID-19 IMPLICATIONS
Authors:   School of Built Environment and Development Studies, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Mntambo S , ADEBAYO P ,   School of Built Environment and Development Studies, University of KwaZulu-Natal
Published: July 2022

The rise of informal settlements in the global south during the latter part of the twentieth century led to the role of disaster management being recognized as a crucial aspect of urban planning. As a result of this, the United Nations called for all the world’s governments to develop and integrate proactive and preventative disaster management policies into their respective countries’ development plans while integrating informal settlements in their urban planning initiatives in a bid to create inclusive cities. South Africa, being one of the countries that are heavily impacted by informal settlements, was swift to embrace these international recommendations, especially from a policy making perspective. The implementation of these policies has however been overshadowed by lacklustre government performance with respect to reducing the disaster risks associated with informal settlements or the inclusion of these areas in urban development. (hazards and lack of services aggravating disaster vulnerability) This article, therefore, explores the policy-practice realities that have given birth to the challenges faced by South Africa’s post-apartheid disaster management initiatives, especially with regard to the disaster vulnerability of informal settlement dwellers. By assessing how international best practice recommendations have influenced the country’s disaster management policy, the article proceeds to analyse the implementation inadequacies that have induced the existing policy-practice disjuncture, and the resultant safety and socio-economic concerns that arise for the country’s informal settlement dwellers. Also, with the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic triggering a state of national disaster in the country, the article analyses the aggravated vulnerability of contacting and spreading of the virus amongst informal settlement residents, along with the socio-economic implications that the national lockdown restrictions have had on these areas. The findings of this article suggest that, although South Africa’s disaster management policy and legislation has comprehensively developed the necessary guidelines for all the spheres of government to play their respective roles in the country’s disaster reduction and recovery initiatives, Information from the government’s databases suggests that the implementation of risk preventative disaster management approaches has been extremely sporadic in informal settlements, despite these areas accounting for 75 per cent of where the country’s disasters events take place. Findings also suggest that South Africa’s informal settlement dwellers have been the hardest hit by the Covid-19 disaster, intensifying the levels of exclusion in these areas.

Grâce aux stratégies de dépistage organisé dans les pays développés, l’incidence du cancer du col a diminué chez les femmes jeunes, mais sa fréquence chez les femmes de 70 ans et plus reste inchangée. En Afrique, cette incidence augmente avec une part des personnes âgés de plus de 65 ans sous-évalués.  Nous nous sommes intéressés à étudier le profil épidémiologique et anatomopathologique des cancers du col chez les femmes africaines de plus 65 ans (limite d’âge pour le dépistage) en vue d’examiner la pertinence de la poursuite du dépistage chez ces femmes. MATERIELS ET METHODES : Etude rétrospective descriptive et analytique sur cinq ans allant de 2016 à 2020 portant sur les comptes-rendus anatomopathologiques, blocs et lames des prélèvements du col utérin, au laboratoire d’Anatomie et Cytologie Pathologiques de l’Hôpital Aristide le Dantec. Nous avons inclus tous les cas de cancer du col utérin confirmé des patientes de 65 ans et plus. RESULTATS : Nous avons colligé 203 cas de cancer du col chez la femme de plus 65 ans en cinq ans (2016 à 2021). La moyenne d’âge était de 71 ans avec des extrêmes allant de 65 à 90 ans. Les patientes étaient essentiellement de grandes multigestes et multipares.  Les prélèvements étaient exclusivement des biopsies. Les cancers étaient totalement de nature épithéliale, avec une nette prédominance des carcinomes épidermoïdes (91,6%). Ces cancers représentent 91,03% des échantillons du col utérin reçus pour cette tranche d’âge et un sixième de l’ensemble des cancers du col utérin tout âge confondu. CONCLUSION : Notre étude confirme que l’incidence du cancer du col chez les femmes âgées de plus de 65 ans est considérable. Il est nécessaire de dépister les femmes après 65 ans.

INTRODUCTION : Le cancer du col de l’utérus est dans 99% des cas du à un Virus Papillome Humain à haut risque (HR-HPV). Cette étude a été initiée pour déterminer les types d’HPV associées aux lésions précancéreuses et cancéreuses du col utérin à Bamako. MATERIELS ET METHODES : Nous avons mené une étude transversale prospective, entre le 1er Janvier 2016 et le 30 Avril 2017. Les sites étaient d’une part le service d’Anatomie et Cytologie Pathologiques du Centre Hospitalier Universitaire (CHU) du Point-G (Bamako – MALI) ou l’examen histologique des fragments de biopsies et des pièces opératoires, provenant des centres de dépistages a été réalisé et d’autre part le Centre de Recherche Biomoléculaire Pietro Annigoni (CERBA/LABIOGENE) de Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), pour le génotypage des échantillons recueillis. Avec la technique PCR multiplex en temps réel, nous avons recherché 14 génotypes du HR-HPV dans 192 prélèvements de Lésions Intra-Epithéliales de Haut Grade (LIEHG) et de cancers invasifs du col de l’utérus. Les données ont été analysées sur le logiciel SPSS 18.0. RESULTATS : Seulement 43,2% (83/192) avaient un résultat positif. Le génotypage a révélé la présence de 13 génotypes HR-HPV, les plus fréquents étaient HPV18 (16,3%), HPV45 (16,3%). Les fréquences d’infections uniques et multiples étaient respectivement de 77,1 et 22,9%. La majorité des femmes avec un HPV positif était des multipares avec 30,9%. Le type histologique le plus représenté était les Néoplasies Intra-Epithéliales modérées (CIN2) avec 42,2%. CONCLUSION : L’approche moléculaire doit faire partir de l’arsenal des techniques utilisées dans le dépistage du cancer du col pour une meilleure prise en charge.

INTRODUCTION : Les tumeurs gynécologiques des patientes âgées de plus de 70 ans constituent des entités hétérogènes par leurs présentations cliniques oncologiques et gériatriques, qui exposent fréquemment à la proposition de thérapeutiques « non standard », « adaptées » ou « exceptionnelle ». En Afrique Subsaharienne, les cancers constituent un fléau dont les caractéristiques restent à préciser, marqué par les moyens très limité, et surtout de contexte de pratique en milieu rural. MATERIELS ET METHODES : Nous décrivons dans ce cas clinique, la particularité de la pris en charge en contexte rural d’un cas de tumeur de l’endomètre chez une patiente de 83 ans au stade IB. RESULTATS : Il s’agit de Madame MG, âgée de 83 ans, IVG IVP, quatre EV, ménopausée depuis 30 ans qui consulte pour métrorragies post-ménopausique évoluant depuis trois mois. Une hystéroscopie diagnostique a été réalisée objectivant une masse ulcérée de la cavité utérine saignant au contact, une biopsie a été réalisée dont le résultat un sarcome du stroma endométrial de bas grade. Le scanner abdominopelvien qui objective un épaississement de l’endomètre sans atteinte des structures avoisinante, classe cette tumeur de l’endomètre au stade IB. La patiente a bénéficié d’une laparotomie et comme geste une colopo-hystérectomie avec curage pelvien bilatéral. Les suites opératoires ont étés simples. La patiente a été exéatée au septième jour post opératoire. Le résultat du compte rendu histologique : carcinome endométrioïde bien différencié et infiltrant envahissant l’isthme et le col utérin. Les paramètres et les quatre ganglions de curage droit et gauche sont indemnes et le stade histo-pronostic : pT2NoMx. CONCLUSION : La prise en charge des cancers de l’endomètre est possible dans le contexte rural chez les patientes âgées. Le pronostic est bon si le diagnostic est posé au stade précoce. La chirurgie pourrait toujours être proposée même pour les sujets de plus de 80 ans avec moins de comorbidité.

INTRODUCTION : La tumeur de la granulosa (TG) est une néoplasie rare de l’ovaire représentant (0,6 à 3%) de l’ensemble des tumeurs ovariennes et 5% des tumeurs malignes. Leur diagnostic est essentiellement histologique. Cette tumeur a été peu étudiée en Afrique Noire, notamment sur le plan anatomopathologique et particulièrement au Sénégal. Le pronostic est fonction du type histologique et de plusieurs paramètres définissant le stade, selon la classification de la FIGO. Les études prospectives sont difficiles en raison de la rareté et de la nécessité d’un suivi à long terme des patientes afin d’en évaluer le pronostic. L’objectif de ce travail était d’établir les profils épidémiologique et anatomopathologique des patientes présentant une TG dans notre contexte. MATERIELS ET METHODES : Etude rétrospective, transversale et descriptive, réalisée de Janvier 2010 à Décembre 2017, incluant tous les cas de tumeurs de la granulosa diagnostiquées dans les laboratoires d’Anatomie et Cytologie Pathologiques (ACP) à Dakar (Hôpital Aristide le Dantec, Hôpital Général Idrissa Pouye et Hôpital de Fann). RESULTATS : Nous avons recensés 28 cas de tumeur de la granulosa sur 204 cancers de l’ovaire pendant la période d’étude représentant 13,7% des cancers de l’ovaire dans notre contexte. Le nombre de cas moyen annuel était de 3,5 avec une tendance à la hausse par an. L’âge moyen était de 41,5 ans, avec des extrêmes de 13 et 70 ans. Les patientes âgées de 45 ans et plus étaient les plus touchées, soit 16 cas (57%). Le statut hormonal était mentionné pour tous, soit 16 patientes (57%) ménopausées contre 12 (43%) en période d’activité génitale. L’essentiel de nos patientes (71%) étaient multipares. La tumeur était unilatérale dans 96,4%, soit 27 cas. La taille était précisée pour 20 cas, avec une moyenne de 24 cm et des extrêmes de huit et 40 cm. La majorité des cas (85%) présentaient une taille supérieure à 10 cm. Il s’agissait d’une tumeur de la granulosa de type adulte dans 93% (26 cas) et de type juvénile dans 7% (deux cas). Les patientes qui présentaient un type adulte avaient un âge supérieur ou égal à 20 ans, essentiellement ménopausées, tandis que celles avec type juvénile était plus jeunes, soit deux cas (13 et 16 ans). Ces néoplasies étaient essentiellement classées stade pT1 dans 86% (24 cas) suivie du stade pT2 dans 10% (trois cas), avec rupture capsulaire dans six cas (21,4 %), selon la classification de la FIGO 2014. CONCLUSION : Les tumeurs de la granulosa sont relativement rares au Sénégal, sous-diagnostiquées comme dans beaucoup d’autres pays africains. Elle touche préférentiellement les femmes âgées, en péri- ou ménopause, multipares et sont souvent découvertes à un stade tardif.

INTRODUCTION : Le rétinoblastome est lourd de conséquences psychosociales et économiques tant pour le patient que pour ses parents, en rapport avec la chirurgie mutilante ou le sentiment de culpabilité. Nous avions mis en exergue lors d’une étude préliminaire l’aspect psychosocial et économique dans sa prise en charge. MATERIELS ET METHODES : L’étude transversale et descriptive, sur une période de trois ans, avait inclus au moins un parent d’enfants atteints suivis pour rétinoblastome. Un questionnaire était élaboré pour le recueil des données relatives aux aspects sociodémographiques, psychiques et économiques. RESULTATS : Ainsi, 25 parents (17 pères et huit mères), dont l’âge moyen était de 40 ans, étaient concernés. L’âge moyen des enfants au moment du diagnostic était de 23,4 mois et le sex-ratio de 1,08. Plus de la moitié des enquêtés avait un bas niveau d’étude et 28% étaient au chômage. Soixante-douze pour cent (72%) des parents avaient accusé un retard à la première consultation pour des raisons financières ou par manque de sensibilisation sur la maladie. Le recours aux tradipraticiens était noté dans 8% des cas. Soixante-huit pour cent (68%) des parents étaient satisfaits des explications reçues lors de l’annonce du diagnostic, 8% ressentaient de la culpabilité et 44% un sentiment d’impuissance. Ils déclaraient tous s’en être remis à la volonté divine. A la suite de l’annonce du diagnostic, 16,6% révélaient avoir des problèmes conjugaux en rapport avec la prise en charge de l’enfant et 66% des parents exerçant une activité professionnelle avaient interrompu leur travail pendant au moins une semaine. Aucun sentiment de rejet de l’entourage n’était rapporté. Le coût des soins était allégé grâce à la subvention quasi-totale du traitement médical et 80% avaient bénéficié d’un soutien financier familial. CONCLUSION : La prise en charge du rétinoblastome, comme dans tous les cancers, implique la prise en compte psychologique de l’enfant malade et des parents. La relation médecin-malade occupe une place primordiale en vue d’une meilleure compréhension de la maladie et d’une implication totale des parents dans la prise en charge permettant ainsi de réduire le nombre de perdus de vue.
