Several diagnostic criteria of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are remarkably similar to symptoms reported by individuals with depression, particularly as they manifest as cognitive processing deficits in children. Because of this overlap in profile and the high rate of comorbidity of PTSD and... depression (48% to 69%), pinpointing similarities/differences in cognitive processes related to each of these disorders is essential to accurate diagnosis. This study aims to examine cognitive performance profiles of 23 children who have been victims of PTSD and to compare their results with 23 children with depression and 24 controls.

La Surveillance épidémiologique est un processus continu de collecte, d'analyse et de diffusion d'informations pour la prise d'actions de riposte. Les activités de surveillance épidémiologique sont mises en oeuvre au Sénégal selon la stratégie SIMR (Surveillance Intégrée de la Maladie et R...iposte) et suivant le RSI (Version 2005). Cependant, très souvent les données de surveillance des maladies, surtout aux niveau communautaire, ne sont pas toujours bien enregistrées, notifiées et analysées.
Aujourd'hui, les maladies transmissibles emergentes et ré-émergentes comme la maldie à Virus Ebola (MVE), constituent une menace importante pour la santé et le bien-êtres de nos communautés. Fort heureusement, les interventions de lutte et de prévention sont bien connues pour certaines.
Il en résulte que des opportunités pour prendre et mettre en place des mesures de riposte appropriées de santé publique pour sauver des vies existens et doivent être clairement indentifiées. Pour cela, il s'avère nécessaire de former de manière adéquate les acteurs communautaires et de mettre en place un système perfomant de surveillance intégrée des maladies aux niveau communautaire soutenu par une communication appropriée avec les populations aussi bien en milieu urbain que rural.

Le projet de prise en charge à domicile du paludisme par les ASC avec les ACT a été
implémenté au Burkina Faso dans trois districts pilotes en 2009. Il s’agissait des districts sanitaires de Kaya, Nouna et de Saponé.
Alors que nous sommes à la fin du projet, il a été jugé utile de fa...ire une évaluation des
différentes interventions afin d’en tirer les enseignements pour un passage à l’échelle de la stratégie.
Le présent document est ainsi le rapport de cette évaluation. Elle a porté à la fois sur les intrants, le processus et les effets de l’intervention.

Trypanosoma cruzi is the etiological agent of Chagas disease (CD), considered one of the most important parasitic infections in Latin America. Between 25 and 90 million humans are at infection risk via at least one of multiple infection mechanisms. Under natural conditions, the principal transmissio...n modes are transplacental or via one of more than 140 hematophagous triatomine bugs (Reduviidae: Triatominae). Triatomines acquire the parasite from mammal reservoirs due to their obligate blood-feeding (albeit triatomines can also feed on non-reservoir vertebrates such as birds and reptiles). The disease burden for CD in the Latin America and Caribbean region, based on disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), is at least five times greater than that of malaria, and is approximately one-fifth that of HIV/AIDS. In recent decades, CD has extended to other continents outside natural reservoir or vector distributions due to human migration, with a minimum estimated 10 million individuals infected worldwide.

The aim of this publication is to provide practical guidance for the first responders who will respond during the first few hours to a radiological emergency and for the national officials who would support this early response. This publication provides guidance in the form of action guides, instruc...tions and data that can be easily applied by a State to build a basic capability to respond to a radiological emergency.

This Study presents the key results of a research that analyses the implications of an ambitious agroecological transition across Europe, following the TYFA scenario. Published in 2018, what it proposes by 2050 is fully aligned with the objectives that the European Farm to Fork and Biodiversity stra...tegies aim to achieve by 2030, in particular regarding the decrease in pesticides, nitrogen, and antibiotics on the supply side, and the transition towards more plant-based diets on the demand side. Using a world biomass balance model (GlobAgri-AgT), the impact of the TYFA scenario in the EU on world land use, the EU physical trade balance, the provision of calories and global food security is analysed in addition to key policy levers to spur the transition.
