[Comparative prognosis of pulmonary embolism in patients infected with COVID-19 and patients not infected with COVID-19 in Ouagadougou]. Ann Cardiol Angeiol (Paris) 2024; 73:101735. [PMID: 38387249 DOI: 10.1016/j.ancard.2024.101735] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Revised: 12/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE the study's objective was to determine impact of COVID-19 on the prognosis of pulmonary embolism. PATIENTS AND METHODS An analytical multicenter cross-sectional study with retrospective data collection was carried out in three university hospitals and a private clinic in Ouagadougou from March, 2020 to July 2021. It included consecutive patients hospitalized for PE confirmed on chest CT angiography or by the association an acute cor pulmonale on echocardiography-Doppler with deep vein thrombosis on venous ultrasound-Doppler of the lower limbs and having carried out a COVID-19 test (RT-PCR or rapid diagnostic test). Control cases consisted of all COVID-19 negative PE cases. Data comparison was carried out using the Epi info 7 software. A univariate then multivariate analysis allowed the comparison of the prognosis of the two subpopulations. The significance level retained was p < 0.05. RESULTS 96 patients with COVID-19+ and 70 COVID-19- PE were included. The prevalence of PE in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 was 7.05%. The average patient age was 61.5±17 years for COVID-19+ patients and 49.6±15.9 years for COVID-19- patients. Pulmonary condensation syndrome (p=0.007), desaturation (p=0.0003) and respiratory distress syndrome (p=0.006) were more common in COVID-19+ patients. The hospital death rate was 27.1% in COVID-19+ patients and 10% in COVID-19- patients (p=0.0024). Age > 65 years and COVID-19 pneumonia were the independent factors of death. CONCLUSION COVID-19 is associated with clinical severity and excess mortality in patients with pulmonary embolism.

Abstract
Contexte Selon l'OMS, le 26 décembre 2021, 278 millions de cas confirmés de COVID-19 ont été enregistrés dans le monde avec environ 5,4 millions de décès. Au Burkina Faso, 17 632 cas avec 318 décès ont été enregistrés. La vaccination est une des stratégies mise en place pour lutter contre cette pandémie. L'objectif de l’étude était de faire un état des lieux de la vaccination contre la COVID-19 chez des personnes travaillant dans un hôpital du Burkina Faso, un pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest. Méthodes Nous avons conduit une étude descriptive allant du 2 juin 2021 au 31 décembre 2021 au Centre hospitalier universitaire de Tengandogo. L’étude a concerné tout le personnel tous profils confondus. Les informations ont été obtenues par entretien. Les variables quantitatives ont été décrites en utilisant la moyenne et les variables qualitatives la proportion. Résultats Au total, 174 agents ont été vaccinés sur 559 soit une proportion de 31 % IC 95 % [27-35]. L’âge moyen était de 41 ans ± 8. Le sexe masculin représentait 55 %. Les principaux profils représentés étaient les médecins 39 %, les infirmiers 36 %, les filles et garçons de salles 5 %. La principale raison à la vaccination était la protection contre la maladie dans 76 %. Le vaccin AstraZeneca a été utilisé chez 63,22 %, suivi de Johnson & Johnson chez 36 %. Des effets secondaires mineurs ont été signalés chez 80 % des vaccinés. Aucun évènement indésirable grave n'a été signalé. Trois personnes vaccinées avec le vaccin Johnson & Johnson ont développé la COVID-19 respectivement après 30 jours, 66 jours, 74 jours. Une personne vaccinée avec AstraZeneca l'a développé au bout de 174 jours. Discussion/Conclusion La proportion des vaccinés est faible. Au vu de la résurgence actuelle de la COVID-19, des interventions visant à améliorer l'adhésion chez ce personnel de première ligne doivent être développées dans de meilleurs délais.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to assess the quality of medical management of heart failure at the National Hospital Blaise Compaoré according to the international guidelines. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective study was performed including consecutive patients admitted for heart failure documented sonographically from October 2012 to March 2015 in the Medicine and Medical Specialties Department of National Hospital Blaise Compaore with a minimum follow-up of six weeks. Data analysis was made by the SPSS 20.0 software. RESULTS Eighty-four patients, mean age of 57.61±18.24 years, were included. It was an acute heart failure in 84.5% of patients with systolic left ventricular function impaired (77.4%). The rate of prescription of different drugs in heart failure any type was 88.1% for loop diuretics; 77.1% for angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers and 65.5% for betablockers. In patients with systolic dysfunction, 84.62% of patients were received the combination of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers and 75.38% for betablockers. Exercise rehabilitation was undergoing in 10.7% of patients. The death rate was 16.7% and hospital readmission rate of 16.7%. CONCLUSION The prescription rate of major heart failure drugs is satisfactory. Cardiac rehabilitation should be developed.

Abstract
Extremely widespread, the dengue is a reemerging infectious disease. In Burkina Faso, dengue is a reality that was little known. The aim of this study was to study epidemiology, diagnostic and outcomes of dengue patients in Ouagadougou. A retrospective study covered a period of two years, from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2014 in a private clinic in Ouagadougou. Patients included in the study were hospitalized for fever and painful syndrome with a positive test to the dengue non-structural antigen 1 (NS1 Ag). Ninety-eight cases of dengue on 343 suspected cases were registered. The average age of patients was 35.9 years. The sex-ratio (M/F) was 1.18. According to the professional activity, there was a predominance of civil servants (35.7%). The pain syndrome was found in 93.9% of patients. Leukopenia (73.5%), neutropenia (56.1%) and severe thrombocytopenia (57.1%) were the predominant hematological disturbances. Of the patients, 18.4% had hemorrhagic dengue and 11.2%, a dengue shock syndrome. Four patients died. The use of non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs was associated with the severity of the infection (p=0.04). Dengue fever occurs in our context and constitutes a risk of mortality. The diagnosis of dengue should be performed systematically in front of a painful and febrile syndrome. The vector control is the best way of prevention against dengue pending the development of a vaccine.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
After chest radiotherapy (RT) for Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), women experience a dose-dependent increased breast cancer (BC) risk. It is unknown whether endogenous and exogenous gonadal hormones affect the radiation dose-response relationship.
Methods
We conducted a nested case-control study among female 5-year HL survivors treated before 41 years between 1965-2000. Data were collected through medical records and questionnaires for 174 BC cases and 466 matched controls. RT charts, simulation films and mammography reports were used to estimate the radiation dose to the location of the breast tumor.
Results
The median interval between HL and BC diagnosis was 21.9 years. 98% of BC cases had received chest RT, compared to 92% of controls. We observed a linear radiation dose-response curve with an adjusted excess odd ratio (EOR) of 5.4%/Gray (95%CI:1.8%-13.37%). Women with menopause <30 years (caused by high-dose procarbazine or pelvic RT) had a lower BC risk (OR:0.13, 95%CI:0.03-0.54) than women with menopause ≥50 years. BC risk increased with 7.4% for each additional year of intact ovarian function after RT (P<0.001). Among women with an early menopause (<45 years), the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for ≥2 years did not increase BC risk (OR:0.81, 95%CI:0.30-2.21). Endogenous and exogenous hormones did not statistically significantly modify the slope of the radiation dose-response relationship.
Conclusion
HRT use did not appear to increase BC risk in female HL survivors with a therapy-induced early menopause. Moreover, there was no evidence for interaction between RT dose and years with intact ovarian function or HRT use.

Abstract
In Niger, the tuberculosis (TB) screening among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (PLHIV) is nonsystematic and the use of additional tests is very often limited. The objective of this research is to evaluate the performance and the cost-effectiveness of various paraclinical testing strategies of TB among adult patients with HIV, using available tests in routine for patients cared in Niamey. This is a multicentric prospective intervention study performed in Niamey between 2010 and 2013. TB screening has been sought in newly diagnosed PLHIV, before ART treatment, performing consistently: a sputum examination by MZN (Ziehl-Nielsen staining) and microscopy fluorescence (MIF), chest radiography (CR), and abdominal ultrasound. The performance of these different tests was calculated using sputum culture as a gold standard. The various examinations were then combined in different algorithms. The cost-effectiveness of different algorithms was assessed by calculating the money needed to prevent a patient, put on ART, dying of TB. Between November 2010 and November 2012, 509 PLHIV were included. TB was diagnosed in 78 patients (15.3%), including 35 pulmonary forms, 24 ganglion, and 19 multifocal. The sensitivity of the evaluated algorithms varied between 0.35 and 0.85. The specificity ranged from 0.85 to 0.97. The most costeffective algorithm was the one involving MIF and CR. We recommend implementing a systematic and free direct examination of sputum by MIF and a CR for the detection of TB among newly diagnosed PLHIV in Niger.

Abstract
AIM Our study aimed to analyze the epidemiological aspects of cutaneous mycosis in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV). MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a descriptive study of 382 patients living with HIV. Following an investigation into the risk factors, mycological samples have been performed. Each sample underwent direct examination and cultivation for the identification of fungal species. The Blastese test is used for the identification of Candida albicans. RESULTS One hundred and six (106) of the 382 people living with human immunodeficiency virus undergo a mycological collection of which 76 gave a positive result. The overall prevalence of cutaneous mycosis was 19.9 %. It was significantly higher in women and in patients who had a CD4 count ≤500/mm3. C. albicans and Trichophyton rubrum were the most isolated species with 22.4 and 19.8 % of all fungal species isolated, respectively. CONCLUSION Cutaneous mycoses are common among people living with human immunodeficiency virus and whose CD4 count ≤ 500/mm(3).

On-farm Campylobacter and Escherichia coli in commercial broiler chickens: Re-used bedding does not influence Campylobacter emergence and levels across sequential farming cycles.

Abstract
Limitations in quality bedding material have resulted in the growing need to re-use litter during broiler farming in some countries, which can be of concern from a food-safety perspective. The aim of this study was to compare the Campylobacter levels in ceca and litter across three litter treatments under commercial farming conditions. The litter treatments were (a) the use of new litter after each farming cycle; (b) an Australian partial litter re-use practice; and (c) a full litter re-use practice. The study was carried out on two farms over two years (Farm 1, from 2009–2010 and Farm 2, from 2010–2011), across three sheds (35,000 to 40,000 chickens/shed) on each farm, adopting three different litter treatments across six commercial cycles. A random sampling design was adopted to test litter and ceca for Campylobacter and Escherichia coli, prior to commercial first thin-out and final pick-up. Campylobacter levels varied little across litter practices and farming cycles on each farm and were in the range of log 8.0–9.0 CFU/g in ceca and log 4.0–6.0 MPN/g for litter. Similarly the E. coli in ceca were ∼log 7.0 CFU/g. At first thin-out and final pick-up, the statistical analysis for both litter and ceca showed that the three-way interaction (treatments by farms by times) was highly significant (P < 0.01), indicating that the patterns of Campylobacter emergence/presence across time vary between the farms, cycles and pickups. The emergence and levels of both organisms were not influenced by litter treatments across the six farming cycles on both farms. Either C. jejuni or C. coli could be the dominant species across litter and ceca, and this phenomenon could not be attributed to specific litter treatments. Irrespective of the litter treatments in place, cycle 2 on Farm 2 remained Campylobacter-free. These outcomes suggest that litter treatments did not directly influence the time of emergence and levels of Campylobacter and E. coli during commercial farming.

Abstract
Strain FF8(T) (= CSUR P860 = DSM 28259) was isolated in Dakar, Senegal, from the urine of a 65-year-old man with acute cystitis. This strain shows a similarity of sequence of 16S rRNA of 98.38% with Weeksella virosa, and its GenBank accession numbers are HG931340 and CCMH00000000. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis had a poor score, ranging from 1.32 to 1.56, that did not allow identification of the bacterium. Using a polyphasic study made of phenotypic and genomic analyses, strain FF8(T) was a Gram-negative, aerobic rod and a member of the family Flavobacteriaceae. The sequenced genome is 2 562 781 bp with one chromosome but no plasmid. It exhibits a G + C content of 35.9% and contains 2390 protein-coding and 56 RNA genes, including a complete rRNA operon. On the basis of these data, we propose the creation of Weeksella massiliensis sp. nov.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to describe the bacterial microflora of diabetic foot infection and to identify the factors which determine the bacterial spectrum in order to increase empiric antibiotic prescription in Ouagadougou. The study was a cross-sectional one, carried from July 1st, 2011 to June 30, 2012 in the departments of internal medicine and general and digestive surgery in Yalgado Ouédraogo teaching hospital. Samples for bacteriological tests consisted of aspiration of pus through the healthy skin, curettage and swab of the base of the ulceration or tissue biopsy from foot lesions. The bacteria's sensitivity to antibiotics has been tested by the qualitative method (Kirby-Bauer). The frequency of diabetic foot infection was 14.45% and the monthly incidence 5.33. The mean age of patients was 56 years and the sex ratio 1.37. Foot ulcerations were chronic in 33 (51.56%), necrotic in 51 (79.69%) and associated with osteitis in 40 (62.5%) patients. Infection was grade 3 in 70.3% cases. Thirty-nine patients had received antibiotics before hospital admission. Among the 71 samples, 62 (87.32%) cultures were positive: 53 (85.48%) monomicrobial and 9 (14.52%) bimicrobial. Aerobic Gram-positive cocci (76%) were the most frequent from ulcerations: Staphylococcus aureus (32.39%), Streptococcus sp (18.30%). Negative coagulase staphylococci have been found in 23.94% cases. Aerobic gram-negative bacilli have been isolated from 24% ulcerations. No factor was associated with the type of bacteria. Gram-positive pathogen cocci showed a high sensitivity to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and oxacillin. No methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or extended-spectrum beta lactamase Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL) have been isolated. A better design is necessary to a clarification of bacterial flora in diabetic foot infections. Prevention of bacterial resistance is also needed.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to describe the characteristics of the patients "lost to follow-up" and determining factors of lost to follow-up at the patients infected by HIV. This is a descriptive and analytical retrospective study made on patients with or not by HAART, registered in the Day hospital of Ouagadougou. Of 5118 adult patients studied, 402 (7.9%) lost to follow-up. Among these patients, 340 (84.5%) had an unknown vital status, 28 (7%) were alive and 34 (8.5%) died. Mean age was 37.5 years. After active research, 16 from 21 patients under HAART were in treatment interruption. The main factors associated with the loss of follow-up were: no schooling (p=0,008), residing outside the capital (p=0,002) and being infected with HIV2 (p< 10(-3)). The phenomenon of loss of follow-up is important and concerned mainly not informed patients.

The sex-ratio was 1.77 with an average age of 37.6 years ± 19.4 years old [5-94 years]. The majority of the patients were unemployed paid (39.6%). The most frequent failures were the following ones: neurological (80.5%), cardio-respiratory (16.7%). The average duration of stay was 6.2 days ± 8.2 days going of less than 24 hours to more than 10 weeks. The deaths arose much more at night (53.1%) than in the daytime (46.9%) and the strongest rate of death was recorded in January (61.5%), most low in October (26.7%). The global mortality was 48.3%. The rate of lethality according to the highest main diagnosis was allocated to the AIDS (80.5%). The average ambulatory simplified acute physiology score was 5.3 ± 3.6 with extremes of 0 and 18. The deaths in our series increased with this index (p = 0.000005). The female patients had a rate of lethality higher than that of the men people, 55.5% against 44.2% (p = 0.03). In spite of a predictive score of a high survival (ASAPS < 8), certain number of patients died (n = 105) that is 61.4% of the deaths. The metabolic disturbances, hyperleukocytosis or leukopenia when realised, the presence of a chronic disease, seemed also to influence this lethality. ASAPS only, although interesting, would not good estimate the gravity of patients, where from the necessity thus of a minimum biological balance sheet. It seems better adapted for patients with a high value (ASAPS≥8). This score when it is low, is not correlated, in our study, at a high survival rate as waited in this population.

Breast cancer risk after radiotherapy for heritable and non-heritable retinoblastoma: a US-UK study. Br J Cancer 2014; 110:2623-32.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Retinoblastoma is a rare childhood eye cancer caused by germline or somatic mutations in the RB1 gene. Previous studies observed elevated breast cancer risk among retinoblastoma survivors. However, there has been no research on breast cancer risk in relation to radiation (primarily scatter radiation from the primary treatment) and genetic susceptibility of retinoblastoma survivors. METHODS Two groups of retinoblastoma survivors from the US and UK were selected, and breast cancer risk analysed using a case-control methodology, nesting within the respective cohorts, matching on heritability (that is to say, having bilateral retinoblastoma or being unilateral cases with at least one relative with retinoblastoma), and using exact statistical methods. There were a total of 31 cases and 77 controls. RESULTS Overall there was no significant variation of breast cancer risk with dose (P>0.5). However, there was a pronounced and significant (P=0.047) increase in the risk of breast cancer with increasing radiation dose for non-heritable retinoblastoma patients and a slight and borderline significant (P=0.072) decrease in risk of breast cancer with increasing radiation dose for heritable retinoblastoma patients, implying significant (P=0.024) heterogeneity in radiation risk between the heritable and non-heritable retinoblastoma groups; this was unaffected by the blindness status. There was no significant effect of any type of alkylating-agent chemotherapy on breast cancer risk (P>0.5). CONCLUSIONS There is significant radiation-related risk of breast cancer for non-heritable retinoblastoma survivors but no excess risk for heritable retinoblastoma survivors, and no significant risk overall. However, these results are based on very small numbers of cases; therefore, they must be interpreted with caution.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Floating elbows are rare pathologies that cause a number of problems to manage. The current treatment tendency is surgical. The orthopedic treatment is a good management option when the technical plateau is limited. METHODS We performed an 18-month prospective study that included patients with floating elbows. Two treatment methods were used and chosen following predefined indication criteria. The final evaluation was made on average 10 months (minimum 6 and maximum 18 months) according to the functional classification of the mayo clinic. RESULTS In 18 months, we treated 8 patients with floating elbow, who were all victims of traffic accidents. On an anatomo-clinical level, real floating elbows accounted for 37.5% of all cases, the rest were derived pathologies. Among these derived pathologies, the association of diaphyseal fracture of the humerus with a lesion of one or both forearm bones represented 50% of the cases. Regarding skin condition, open fractures were present in 37.5% of all patients. At the final evaluation we obtained two unsatisfactory results in patient treated surgically. No orthopedic treatment achieved an excellent final result, but they ranged between good and fair. CONCLUSION This study shows that the orthopedic treatment maintains its position as valid treatment for floating elbows. Nevertheless it is important to master the technique and recognize its limits.

Abstract
The purpose of this descriptive transverse study is to describe metabolic disorders and cardiovascular risk factors in HIV-infected patients undergoing antiretroviral therapy in the day-care unit of the University Hospital of Ouagadougou, Burkina-Faso. A total of 100 patients (Burkinavi cohort) undergoing antiretroviral therapy with a minimum of 42-months of follow-up (October 2005 to Mars 2009) were included. There were 77 females and 33 males with a mean age of 37 years. Most patients, i.e., 95%, were positive for HIV1. Mean body mass index was 22 kg/m2. Mean CD4 count was 280/mm3. Viral load was undetectable in 66 of the 71 patients who underwent viral load testing. Retroviral therapy consisted of the TriomuneR combination (Stavudine + lamivudine + névirapine) at a fixed dose in 27 cases. Cardiovascular risk factors included family history of high arterial blood pressure in 5 patients, smoking in 4, and obesity in 8. During follow-up, seven patients presented hypertension. Metabolic disorders included hyperglycemia (4%), hypertriglyceridemia (17%) and hypercholesterolemia (14%). Lipodystrophia was noted for 6 patients. Despite the short follow-up period, metabolic disorders and cardiovascular risk factors were observed at our patients under antiretroviral therapy.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to define criteria for accurate representation of the thyroid in human models used to represent external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) patients and evaluate the relationship between the volume of this organ and clinical and anthropometric characteristics. From CT images, we segmented the thyroid gland and calculated its volume for a population of 188 EBRT patients of both sexes, with ages ranging from 1 to 89 years. To evaluate uncertainties linked to measured volumes, experimental studies on the Livermore anthropomorphic phantom were performed. For our population of EBRT patients, we observed that in children, thyroid volume increased rapidly with age, from about 3 cm(3) at 2 years to about 16 cm(3) at 20. In adults, the mean thyroid gland volume was 23.5 ± 9 cm(3) for males and 17.5 ± 8 cm(3) for females. According to anthropometric parameters, the best fit for children was obtained by modeling the log of thyroid volume as a linear function of body surface area (BSA) (p < 0.0001) and age (p = 0.04) and for adults, as a linear function of BSA (p < 0.0001) and gender (p = 0.01). This work enabled us to demonstrate that BSA was the best indicator of thyroid volume for both males and females. These results should be taken into account when modeling the volume of the thyroid in human models used to represent EBRT patients for dosimetry in retrospective studies of the relationship between the estimated dose to the thyroid and long-term follow-up data on EBRT patients.

Abstract
Dermatopolymyositis (DPM) is a term describing a group of disorders comprising multiple distinct entities depending on interactions between genetic and environmental factor. There is a paucity of studies on DPM in black Africa. The purpose of this report is to describe epidemiological, clinical, laboratory and therapeutic aspects of dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM) observed at the Principal Hospital in Dakar, Senegal. A retrospective review as conducted of patients hospitalized for DM and PM in Medical Departments of Principal Hospital. Diagnosis of DRM was based on the criteria of Bohan and Peter's in all cases. A series of 21 black African patients was compiled including 15 with DM and 6 with PM. Mean age was 52 years and the M/F sex ratio was 0.6. The mean delay for diagnosis was 6 weeks (range, 3 to 12 weeks). Initial signs were dermatological in 12 patients, pulmonary in one and muscular in the remaining cases. The most common dermatological sign was erythema characterized by a zebra-like aspect on the extended limbs. Erythema was frequently pruriginous with a flagellate aspect on the back. Muscular signs were observed in 18 patients and included pharyngeal manifestations in 10 patients. Amyopathic DM was not observed. Cardiac abnormalities included tachycardia (4 cases), AVB (1), ischemic lesion (1), relaxation disturbances (4), pericardial effusion (3), myocarditis (2) and pulmonary hypertension (1). The most common pulmonary manifestation was interstitial lung disease observed in 6 patients. Gastrointestinal signs were noted in 9 patients including endoscopic evidence of superficial erosion in 4 cases. Electromyography (EMG) tracings revealed myogenic disease in 14 cases including 2 associated with reduced peripheral nervous conduction speed. Severe lymphopenia was observed in 3 patients but HIV serology was negative in all cases. Paraneoplasic DM was observed in 3 cases. Death occurred in 5 cases due to the cancer-related, pulmonary and infectious complications. Based on the findings of this study, the three main features of DM and PM in Senegal are flagellated and often pruriginous erythema, cardiac and interstitial lung disease, and peripheral neural involvement.

Abstract
This study presents a method aimed at creating radiotherapy (RT) patient-adjustable whole-body phantoms to permit retrospective and prospective peripheral dose evaluations for enhanced patient radioprotection. Our strategy involves virtual whole-body patient models (WBPM) in different RT treatment positions for both genders and for different age groups. It includes a software tool designed to match the anatomy of the phantoms with the anatomy of the actual patients, based on the quality of patient data available. The procedure for adjusting a WBPM to patient morphology includes typical dimensions available in basic auxological tables for the French population. Adjustment is semi-automatic. Because of the complexity of the human anatomy, skilled personnel are required to validate changes made in the phantom anatomy. This research is part of a global project aimed at proposing appropriate methods and software tools capable of reconstituting the anatomy and dose evaluations in the entire body of RT patients in an adapted treatment planning system (TPS). The graphic user interface is that of a TPS adapted to obtain a comfortable working process. Such WBPM have been used to supplement patient therapy planning images, usually restricted to regions involved in treatment. Here we report, as an example, the case of a patient treated for prostate cancer whose therapy planning images were complemented by an anatomy model. Although present results are preliminary and our research is ongoing, they appear encouraging, since such patient-adjusted phantoms are crucial in the optimization of radiation protection of patients and for follow-up studies.

Abstract
Wrestling is a sport that is deeply-rooted in Senegalese cultural values. It is a popular sport that comes from local traditions but that has been influenced by boxing. This influence has made wrestling evolve to include the practice of boxing without gloves. Howeve, this practice causes many traumas in the mouth and teeth. The general objective of this study is to determine the frequency of the traumas among wrestlers who practice this form of wrestling associated with boxing. The specific objectives are to appreciate the bucco-dental conditions of the wrestlers, to evaluate the frequency and nature of the traumas in the intention to make recommendations and offer perspectives. 63.2% of wrestlers have at least presented a buckle or dental trauma. 28.8% of bucco-dental traumas occur among young wrestlers between 25 and 30 years and, 22.4% relate to the group between 19 and 24 years. 24.8% of bucco-dental traumas occur among wrestlers of the first category, followed by these of the second category with 21.6%, the fourth category with the lowest rate, 4% being last. It has been noted that 60% of buck-dental traumas occur in championship matches. 77.2% of dental and bucco traumas affect the upper jaw while. 22.8% affect the lower jaw. Affect teeth are often the group incisivo-canin. The National committee for the Management of wrestling in Senegal should make mandation the wearing of adapted gloves to attenuate the impact of blows. The Committee could also ban the inclusion of boxing practices in traditional wrestling and make compulsory the wearing of teeth protect in devices to minimize cases of bucco-dental traumas.
