Transcriptomic analysis of Anopheles gambiae from Benin reveals overexpression of salivary and cuticular proteins associated with cross-resistance to pyrethroids and organophosphates
Insecticide resistance (IR) is one of the major threats to malaria vector control programs in endemic countries. However, the mechanisms underlying IR are poorly understood. Thus, investigating gene expression... (Source: BMC Genomics)

The prevalence and demographic associations of headache in the adult population of Benin: a cross-sectional population-based study
ConclusionsOverall, these findings are evidence that headache disorders are very common in Benin, a low-income country. The prevalence of pMOH, well above the estimated global mean of 1 –2%, is evidence that poverty is not a bar to medication overuse. The findings are very much the same as those in a similar study in its near neighbour, Cameroon. With regard to migraine, they are reasonably in accord with two of three earlier studies in selected Beninese populations, which did no t take account of probable migraine. This study adds to the hitherto limited knowledge of headache in SSA. (Source: The Journal of Headache and Pain)

Gastric cancer in Sub-Saharan Africa - a systematic review of primary data
CONCLUSION: This systemic review demonstrates that GC incidence is highly variable across SSA. The limited data on GC treatment, mortality, and survival presents a significant challenge to providing a complete epidemiologic description of the burden of GC in SSA. There is a need for further robust data collection, exploration, and research studies on cancer care in SSA, with continued assessment of primary data availability.PMID:38566758 | PMC:PMC10984845 | DOI:10.3332/ecancer.2024.1680 (Source: Ecancermedicalscience)
