 Partial hydatidiform molar pregnancy is a product of conception with molar villi surrounding an amniotic cavity with an embryo. It has 69 chromosomes (most often XXY, XXX, XYY) and correspond to the triploid syndrome (embryonic mole). For several years, the partial hydatidiform molar pregnancy has been considered a benign entity that does not require strict monitoring like that of the complete molar pregnancy, but the appearance of cases of transformation of the partial hydatiform mole into an invasive molar pregnancy or choriocarcinoma questioned this strategy. From these facts the treatment and monitoring of partial molar pregnancy must be carried out with the same rigor as for the complete molar pregnancy. We report a case of invasive partial molar pregnancy with pulmonary and vaginal metastases.
 La grossesse môlaire hydatiforme partielle désigne un produit de conception avec des villosités molaires entourant une cavité amniotique pourvue d’un embryon. Elle comporte 69 chromosomes (le plus souvent XXY, XXX, XYY) et correspondent au syndrome triploïde (môle embryonnée). Depuis plusieurs années, la grossesse môlaire hydatiforme partielle a été considérée comme une entité bénigne qui ne nécessite pas une surveillance stricte comme celle de la grossesse môlaire complète, mais l’apparition des cas de transformation de la grossesse môlaire partielle en une grossesse môlaire invasive ou choriocarcinome ; a remis en question cette stratégie.

Considering the clinical and biological parameters of the patients during their admission to ICU, we determined the incidence of a pejorative evolution requiring intubation, and secondarily we searched among the starting parameters, which were predictors of the intubation during follow-up. Methods : We conducted a monocentric retrospective cohort study of adult patients admitted for moderate, severe or critical COVID-19/WHO clinical classification, during the first two waves of the pandemic in Kinshasa/DR Congo. Our primary end point was the incidence of intubation. Potential predictors of intubation were determined by the Cox regression analysis. The relative risk of death was assessed according to treatment with mechanical ventilation (intubation). Results : We included 219 patients (average age of 56.8 ±15.2 years; 75 % men), respectively 37 % in the 1st and 63 % in the 2nd wave of the pandemic. Cumulative incidence of intubation was 24% (1st wave: 26% vs 2nd wave: 24%). One-third of intubations were performed on the first 3 days versus two-thirds beyond the third day. The Cox's regression model showed that among data from the 1st day of ICU admission, those predicting intubation were: age (Hazard ratio: 1.025, CI 95%: 1.005-1.044), obesity (HR: 4.808; CI 95%: 2.660-8.696), corticosteroid therapy (HR: 0.313, CI 95%: 0.102-0.965), ROX index < 4.88 (HR: 2.024, CI 95 %: 1.003-4.080) and black race (HR: 0.502, CI 95%: 0.272-0.928). In total, 54 deaths (25 % of patients) were recorded with a higher relative risk (18.8) in intubated patients. Conclusion : A quarter of COVID-19 patients admitted to ICU could worsen and be intubated. The majority of intubations were performed after the third day of admission and mortality was high. The predictors of intubation that have been identified can help anticipate management by being proactive.

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries are poorly studied. The aim of the present study was to describe the socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of children with autism and to identify associated factors. &#x0D; Methods. This was a cross-sectional study of children with ASD attended at three specialized centers in Kinshasa. We confirmed a ASD diagnosis through clinical observation using Diagnostic and Statistical Manuel of Mental Disorders four Text Revision (DSM-VI-TR) criteria and standardized autism diagnostic tools. We analyzed socio-demographic and clinical characteristics and main comorbidities of ASD. The comparison of proportions was done using Pearson’s chi-square test.

Out of 682 medical records collected for senological problems, 231 cases had a presumptive diagnosis of BBT and only 70 cases were histologically confirmed, i.e. a frequency of BBT of 10.2%. Their mean age was 27.8 ± 13.8 years, 76.5% were nulliparous, 17.6 % had breast-fed. Fibroadenoma was more frequent (68.5%) followed by fibrocystic disease (20.0%). In univariate analysis, age less than 40 years [crude OR 4.00 (1.18-13.54), p=0.026], nulliparity [5.17 (1.44-18.57), p=0.012] and lack of breastfeeding [0.16 (0.04- 0.63), p=0.009] were associated with fibroadenoma while age greater than 40 years [4.50 (1.23-16.45); p=0.023], marriage [5.22 (1.47-18.55); p=0.011], multiparity [5.89 (1.53- 22.63); p=0.010)] and breastfeeding [6(1.55- 23.30); p=0.010)] to fibrocystic disease. No factor emerged as an independent determinant of BBT. Conclusion. BBT, although poorly diagnosed in this tertiary institution, shows some similarity with data in the literature \u0000French Abstract \u0000Contexte et objectif Les données sur les tumeurs bénignes du sein (TBS) sont peu documentées dans nos contrées. La présente étude avait pour objectif de décrire le profil clinique et anatomopathologique des TBS. \u0000Méthodes) aspects cliniques et, pour les tumeurs : les aspects sénologique, anatomopathologique, thérapeutique et les facteurs associés. Nous avons recouru à la méthode de régression logistique multi variée pour rechercher les facteurs associés aux TBS. \u0000Résultats Sur 682 dossiers médicaux colligés pour problems sénologiques, 231 cas portaient le diagnostic présomptif de TBS et seulement 70 cas étaient confirmés histologiquement soit une fréquence des TBS de 10,2 %. Leur âge moyen était de 27,8 ± 13,8 ans, 76,5 % étaient nullipares, 17,6 % avaient allaité. Le fibroadénome était plus fréquent (68,5%) suivi de la maladie fibrokystique (20,0 %). En analyse univariée, l’âge inférieur à 40 ans [OR brut 4,00 (1,18-13,54), p=0,026], la nulliparité [5,17 (1,44-18,57), p=0,012] et l’absence d’allaitement [0,16 (0,04-0,63), p=0,009] étaient associés au fibroadénome tandis que l’âge supérieur à 40 ans [4,50 (1,23-16,45); p=0,023], le mariage [5,22 (1,47-18,55); p=0,011], la multiparité [5,89 (1,53-22,63); p=0,010)] et l’allaitement [6(1,55-23,30) ; p=0,010)] à la maladie fibrokystique. Aucun facteur n’a émergé comme determinant indépendant de TBS. \u0000Conclus","PeriodicalId":31055,"journal":{"name":"Annales Africaines de Medecine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84618128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
