Background: In the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, health care professionals dealing with COVID-19 had to rely exclusively on general supportive measures since specific treatments were unknown. The subsequent waves could be faced with new diagnostic and therapeutic tools (e.g., anti-viral medications and vaccines). We performed a meta-analysis and systematic review to compare clinical endpoints between the first and subsequent waves. Methods: Three databases were assessed. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. The secondary outcomes were intensive care unit (ICU) mortality, ICU length of stay (LOS), acute renal failure, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) implantation, mechanical ventilation time, hospital LOS, systemic thromboembolism, myocarditis and ventilator associated pneumonia. Results: A total of 25 studies with 126,153 patients were included. There was no significant difference for the primary endpoint (OR=0.94, 95% CI 0.83-1.07, p=0.35). The first wave group presented higher rates of ICU LOS (SMD= 0.23, 95% CI 0.11-0.35, p<0.01), acute renal failure (OR=1.71, 95% CI 1.36-2.15, p<0.01) and ECMO implantation (OR=1.64, 95% CI 1.06-2.52, p=0.03). The other endpoints did not show significant differences.Conclusions: The analysis suggests that the first wave group, when compared with the subsequent waves group, presented higher rates of ICU LOS, acute renal failure and ECMO implantation, without significant difference in in-hospital or ICU mortality, mechanical ventilation time, hospital LOS, systemic thromboembolism, myocarditis or ventilator-associated pneumonia.

L’agriculture sénégalaise est confrontée à une réduction des performances du maraichage due à une baisse de la fertilité des sols depuis plusieurs décennies. Cette baisse de fertilité était causée par l’utilisation intensive des engrais chimiques. L’objectif général de cette étude était de contribuer à l’amélioration du rendement du poivron à travers l’utilisation des biostimulants. Un dispositif en bloc aléatoire complètement randomisés a été utilisé avec quatre répétitions et neuf traitements. Les paramètres étudiés étaient : le nombre de feuilles des plantes, la hauteur des plantes, les dates de floraison 50 et 100%, le diamètre au collet, le rendement, la longueur et le diamètre des fruits et la hauteur des plantes. Les résultats obtenus ont montré que les traitements T8 ont permis d’enregistrer les meilleurs résultats pour les nombres de feuilles, le diamètre au collet et la hauteur des plantes avec les moyennes respectives de 39,37±23,05 fls, 7,63±1,71 mm 10,80±2,01 cm. Pour ce qui est de la floraison 50%, le traitement T3 a donné le meilleur résultat avec une moyenne de 63,27 et pour la floraison 100% T9 a dominé avec une moyenne de 74,69. Le traitement T1 (140,23±36,16 g) a enregistré le rendement moyen le plus élevé. La longueur moyenne des fruits la plus élevée a été notée au niveau du traitement T6 (70,48±4,86 mm. En ce qui concerne le diamètre moyen des fruits, le traitement T2 (58,19±3,65b mm) a donné le meilleur résultat.
Senegalese agriculture is facing a reduction in market gardening performance due to a decline in soil fertility over the last few decades. This decline in fertility is caused by the intensive use of chemical fertilisers. The general objective of this study was to help improve pepper yields through the use of biostimulants. A completely randomized block design was used with four replications and nine treatments. The parameters studied were: number of plant leaves, plant height, flowering dates 50 and 100%, collar diameter, yield, fruit length and diameter, plant height, flowering dates 50 and 100% and number of leaves. The results obtained showed that treatments T8 gave the best results for the number of leaves, diameter at the crown and plant height with respective averages of 39.37±23.05 fls, 7.63±1.71 mm 10.80±2.01cm. For 50% flowering, treatment T3 gave the best result with an average of 63.27 and for 100% flowering T9 dominated with an average of 74.69. Treatment T1 (140.23±36.16g) recorded the highest average yield. The highest average fruit length was recorded in treatment T6 (70.48±4.86mm.

La performance des systèmes de culture et de stockage influe fortement sur la qualité de la récolte. L’objectif de cette étude était de produire des données actualisées sur l’état des systèmes de culture d’oignon et son stockage dans la vallée du fleuve Sénégal. La collecte des données a été faite à travers des enquêtes qualitatives auprès de 400 producteurs et de 22 acteurs techniques de la filière. Un questionnaire semi-structuré et un guide d’entretien ont permis de collecter les données. La moyenne et la fréquence ont été utilisées pour les analyses statistiques sur Sphinx v.5. Les résultats ont montré que les techniques de culture demeurent manuelles avec un système d’irrigation gravitaire. Les engrais avec moins de 1 t.ha-1 et les pesticides chimiques à raison de 8 l.ha-1 étaient utilisés, respectivement, dans la fumure des sols et la gestion des ravageurs. En moyenne, les emblavures étaient de 0,99 ha par exploitant et par saison avec un rendement de 14,45 t.ha-1. Le stockage s’était fait dans des hangars qui ne permettaient pas de conserver l’oignon à plus de 2 mois. Les effets de la matière organique sur la qualité et la durée de stockage de l’oignon pourraient être explorés pour l’amélioration de la filière.

Published: November 2023

En Côte d’Ivoire, certains achatiniculteurs nourrissent leurs escargots à la provende pour une meilleure croissance pendant que d’autres les nourrissent aux végétaux pour minimiser le coût alimentaire. L’objectif de cette étude est de déterminer un système d’alimentation capable de réduire le cycle de croissance et le coût alimentaire de Achatina achatina. Ainsi, des escargots juvéniles ont été soumis à différents systèmes d’alimentation alternant provende et produits de papayer. Ces animaux ont été pesés et mesurés toutes les deux semaines pour évaluer leurs croissances. Aussi, leurs ingestions d’aliment concentré et les taux de mortalité ont été déterminées et comparées. Les meilleurs gains de poids (48,6 ± 9,7 g) et de longueur coquillière (2,74 ± 0,11 cm) ont été ceux des escargots nourris un jour sur quatre aux végétaux et les trois autres jours à la provende. La consommation de provende de ces escargots a été plus faible (171,28 g) que celle de ceux nourris uniquement au concentré (205,5 g). Le système d’alimentation basé sur la distribution de provende uniquement a entrainé, le plus de mortalité (33,33%). Les résultats de cette étude montrent que l’éleveur peut réduire la consommation d’aliment concentré et le cycle de croissance de A. achatina, en lui proposant tous les quatre jours des produits de papayer.
In Côte d'Ivoire, some Achatina achatina farmers feed their snails with concentrated feed for better growth, while others feed them with plants to minimize feed costs. The aim of this study is to determine a feeding method capable of reducing the feed cost and growth cycle of Achatina achatina. To do this, Juvenile snails were subjected to different feeding systems alternating feed and papaya products. These animals were weighed and measured every two weeks to assess their growth. Concentrated feed intake and mortality rates were also determined and compared. The greatest gains in weight (48.6 ± 9.7 g) and shell length (2.74 ± 0.11 cm) were achieved by snails fed one day out of four with vegetable feed and the other three days with concentrated feed The concentrated feed consumption of these snails was lower (171.28 g) than that of snails fed concentrate only (205.5 g). The feeding system based on the distribution of concentrated feed only resulted in the highest mortality (33.33%). The results of this study show that the farmer can reduce the consumption of concentrated feed and the growth cycle of A. achatina, by suggesting to him, papaya products every four days.

Published: November 2023

This study examined the livelihood information endowment as a correlate of material quality of life among rural women in Southwest Nigeria. A multistage sampling procedure was used to select 384 respondents using an interview schedule. Data collected on socioeconomic characteristics, livelihood information endowment (livelihood information sought and sources of information); constraints to livelihood information endowment and material quality of life were analysed with percentages, mean, standard deviation, the Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Chi-square at α0.05. The results showed that most of the respondents were cooperative society members (51.6%) with a mean year of former education being 8.0±4.62 years. The most accessible information sources were mobile phones (3.73±0.90) and husband (3.72±0.82) with livelihood information endowment being high at 55.7%. However, respondents’ prominent constraints to livelihood information endowment were network problem (0.40) and poor rural infrastructure (0.39). The respondents’ material quality of life status was low 52.1%, as most did not possess landed properties (58.1%). A significant relationship existed between respondents’ material quality of life and livelihood information endowment (r=0.134), social group belonged (r=0.153) and constraint to livelihood information endowment (r=-0.017). Constraints to livelihood information endowment inform the respondents’ Material Quality of Life status. Network providers should offer efficient services.

Authors: Baiyeri Samuel Olorunfemi , Amusa Taofeeq Ade , Samuel Victor-Sunday 
Published: November 2023

The study examined socioeconomic determinants of African yam bean production among smallholder crop farmers in Ekiti State. Using a structured questionnaire and interview schedule, data were collected from sampled 120 farmers. Data were analysed using percentages, charts and OLS multiple regression analysis. The results showed that agricultural extension agents (85.0%) and fellow farmers or cooperatives (61.7%) are the prominent sources of farm-related information on AYB production. The result of the regression analysis showed that sex, household size, primary occupation, farm size and extension contacts were significant and positively influenced AYB production while education was significant but negatively influenced AYB production. Challenges against AYB production include inadequate finance (78.3%), high cost of labour (72.5%), low yield of AYB per hectare (68.3%), pest and diseases (65.8%), inadequacy of AYB for planting (60.8%) and old age of most farmers (53.3%) among others. The use of insecticides (81.7%), pesticides (40.8%) and use of traps (29.2%) constitute the highest pest and disease control measures used by the farmers. The study concludes that socioeconomic factors play significant roles in the AYB output of farmers. Efforts should be made to increase the capacity of the farmers through education and training to improve their efficiency and productivity.
