BackgroundAs of May 2022, 15 countries have declared that they have reached their trachoma elimination targets, but only 13 of them, including Togo, have been validated by the World Health Organization as having eliminated the disease as a public health problem. The aim of this study was to describe the broad interventions that have supported the elimination of trachoma as a public healt...

Seasonal variations and other changes in the geographical distributions of different cytospecies of the Simulium damnosum complex (Diptera: Simuliidae) in Togo and Benin
Acta Trop. 2023 Jun 18:106970. doi: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2023.106970. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSimulium damnosum s.l., the most important vector of onchocerciasis in Africa, is a complex of sibling species described on the basis of differences in their larval polytene chromosomes. These (cyto) species differ in their geographical distributions, ecologies and epidemiological roles. In Togo and Benin, distributional changes have been recorded as a consequence of vector control and environmental changes (e.g. creation of dams, deforestation), with potential epidemiological consequences. We review the distribution of cyt...

Sustainability energy security: 20 years assessment of the West African Nations using a comprehensive entropy-TOPSIS analysis
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Jun 14. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-28116-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEnergy security in Africa has become a crucial issue in recent times due to the imminent lack of access to electricity, increasing energy demand informed by economic growth, population growth, and forecasts that point to business as usual on the continent based on these variables. While the West African region has abundant energy resources, they have not yet been translated into sustainable energy security, as it pertains to energy availability. This is a persistent challenge that needs to be addressed to support economi...

Real-world treatment patterns of subsequent therapy after palbociclib in patients with advanced breast cancer in Japan
CONCLUSION: This real-world study revealed that one-third of the patients received sequential CDK4/6i after ET + palbociclib, and treatment duration of ET + CDK4/6i following ET + palbociclib was the longest among the treatment options. Further data are awaited to determine whether ET + targeted therapy with CDK4/6i and mTORi provides acceptable treatment options following ET + palbociclib.PMID:37267715 | DOI:10.1016/j.breast.2023.05.006 (Source: Breast)
