Background: Like many developing countries, Senegal does not have data on the extent of vitamin A deficiency (VAD) that is representative of its population. The present survey was conducted to fill this gap and to identify factors associated with VAD, prior to the introduction of a large-scale vitamin A oil fortification program. Procedures: A nationwide representative cross-sectional survey involving 1887 children 12 to 59 months old and 1316 women of reproductive age (WRA) was conducted. Blood samples were collected and plasma concentrations of retinol (PR), C-reactive protein (CRP), and alpha-1-acidglycoprotein were measured. PR was adjusted for subclinical inflammation using the BRINDA regression methodology. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with VAD. Findings: The adjusted prevalence of VAD (PR ≤ 0.7 μmol/L) in children was 15.3% and differed by age group, area of residence, and socioeconomic status and half of them had subclinical inflammation. Among WRA, VAD was low (2.3%) and 18.1% had vitamin A insufficiency (VAI). Pregnant women were more affected by VAI (28.4%) and Dakar had lower figures compared with other cities and rural strata. Prevalence of VAI decreased with increasing wealth quintile. In logistic regression, abnormal CRP, poverty, scarce consumption of poultry, oysters, melon, red palm oil, palm kernel oil, Saba senegalensis fruit pulp (Maad) and cowpea, frequent consumption of leeks and consumption of Leptadenia hastata leaves (Mbuum tiakhat), were associated with VAD in children. For women, lower socioeconomic status, fair or poor health status and anemia were negatively associated with VAI. Conclusions: In Senegal, VAD is a moderate public health problem in children and slight among women. Particular attention should be paid to children older than 23 months, pregnant women, rural populations, and poorest households. Nutritional interventions should be implemented alongside morbidity prevention and control. Keywords: vitamin A deficiency, children 12-59 months, women of reproductive age, Senegal.

Background/Aims: Crohn’s disease (CD) primarily affects young female adults of reproductive age. Few studies have been conducted on this population’s ovarian reserve status. The aim of study was to investigate potential risk factors associated with low ovarian reserve, as reflected by serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in women of reproductive age with CD.Methods: This was a case-control study. Cases included 87 patients with established CD, and healthy controls were matched by age, height and weight in a 1:1 ratio. Serum AMH levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results: The average serum AMH level was significantly lower in CD patients than in control group (2.47±2.08 ng/mL vs. 3.87±1.96 ng/mL, respectively, <i>P</i><0.001). Serum AMH levels were comparable between CD patients and control group under 25 years of age (4.41±1.52 ng/mL vs. 3.49±2.10 ng/mL, <i>P</i>=0.06), however, serum AMH levels were significantly lower in CD patients over 25 years of age compared to control group (<i>P</i><0.05). Multivariable analysis showed that an age greater than 25 (odds ratio [OR], 10.03; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.90–52.93, <i>P</i>=0.007), active disease state (OR, 27.99; 95% CI, 6.13–127.95, <i>P</i><0.001) and thalidomide use (OR, 15.66; 95% CI, 2.22–110.65, <i>P</i>=0.006) were independent risk factors associated with low ovarian reserve (serum AMH levels <2 ng/mL) in CD patients. Conclusions: Ovarian reserve is impaired in young women of reproductive age with CD. Age over 25 and an active disease state were both independently associated with low ovarian reserve. Thalidomide use could result in impaired ovarian reserve.

Aim. To compare ovarian reserve in healthy women of reproductive age - carriers of antithyroid antibodies (ATA) and in healthy women of reproductive age negative for ATA. Materials and methods. 70 healthy women of young reproductive age in the state of euthyroidism (from 18 to 38 years old) were examined. Participants were divided into equal groups (n=35) depending on the status of the presence of antithyroid antibodies (AT-TPO, AT-TG). On the 2nd-4th days of the menstrual cycle, the following markers of the ovarian reserve were determined: serum levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMG), inhibin B, FSH, LH, estradiol, testosterone and progesterone, as well as ultrasound parameters - the number of antral follicles and the volume of the ovaries. In addition, to determine the predisposition to premature ovarian failure, an analysis was performed to the number of CGG repeats in the FMR1 gene. Results and discussion. Statistically significantly differs such parameters as the level of estradiol and testosterone, while the differences were not clinically significant. All the parameters evaluated were within the normal range, the main predictors of the ovarian reserve (levels of AMG and inhibin B, the number of antral follicles) remained in the normal range. An increase in the number of repeats of CGG in the FMR1 gene was not detected in any of the participants in the study. Conclusion. In healthy young reproductive age women, the status of ATA does not have a direct effect on the ovarian reserve.

In women of reproductive age, vaginal discharge is one of the most frequent signs. Vaginal discharge may be physiological or pathological; thus, this study was conducted to ascertain the microbial diversity of vaginal discharge cases in relation to socioeconomic status and demographic history among women of reproductive age attending a tertiary care hospital. To diagnose the organism, simple wet laboratory preparation, 10% KOH, Gram staining, and pH paper were used, while to classify and categorise the pathogens, various differential agar media such as CHROM agar, Blood agar, and Sabouraud Dextrose agar were used, followed by some biochemical tests and the use of the Nugent Score. The majority of the patients were between the ages of 22 and 28. The patients were all from the lower middle class 41. (37.61 percent ). Microbial diagnosis revealed that 45 percent of patients had Bacterial Vaginosis, 41 percent had Candidiasis, 5% had Trichomoniasis, and 9% had both Bacterial Vaginosis and Candidiasis..

BackgroundStudies have shown a mixed association between socioeconomic status (SES) and prevalent HIV infection across and within settings in sub-Saharan Africa. In general, the relationship between years of formal education and HIV infection changed from a positive to a negative association with maturity of the HIV epidemic. Our objective was to determine the association between SES and HIV in women of reproductive age in the Free State (FSP) and Western Cape Provinces (WCP) of South Africa (SA).Study designCross-sectional.SettingSA.MethodsWe conducted secondary analysis on 1906 women of reproductive age from a 2007 to 2008 survey that evaluated effectiveness of Prevention of Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission Programmes. SES was measured by household wealth quintiles, years of formal education and employment status. Our analysis principally used logistic regression for survey data.ResultsThere was a significant negative trend between prevalent HIV infection and wealth quintile in WCP (P<0.001) and FSP (P=0.025). In adjusted analysis, every additional year of formal education was associated with a 10% (adjusted OR (aOR) 0.90 (95% CI 0.85 to 0.96)) significant reduction in risk of prevalent HIV infection in WCP but no significant association was observed in FSP (aOR 0.99; 95% CI 0.89 to 1.11). There was no significant association between employment and prevalent HIV in each province: (aOR 1.54; 95% CI 0.84 to 2.84) in WCP and (aOR 0.96; 95% CI 0.71 to 1.30) in FSP.ConclusionThe association between HIV infection and SES differed by province and by measure of SES and underscores the disproportionately higher burden of prevalent HIV infection among poorer and lowly educated women. Our findings suggest the need for re-evaluation of whether current HIV prevention efforts meet needs of the least educated (in WCP) and the poorest women (both WCP and FSP), and point to the need to investigate additional or tailored strategies for these women.
