“…Nevertheless, this average age remains lower than that reported by Halle-Ekane et al in Cameroon [10] who were 32.3 ± 2.4 years. The average age of our respondents was higher than those reported by Serhier et al in Morocco, which was 20.9 ± 2.1 years [11] and by Hoque et al in South Africa, which was 19.4 ± 2.4 years [12]. The young age of the respondents in our study can be explained by their youthful student background.…”

Introduction:Gynecological cancers are often diagnosed at a late stage in Togo, due to difficulty of access to means of screening and a lack of technical platform. The objective of our study was to assess the knowledge of Faculty of Health Sciences of University of Lome students on the risk factors of these gynecological cancers. Methodology:This was a cross-sectional prospective study with a descriptive and analytical aim, carried out among 3rd year bachelor's and 3rd year doctoral students regularly enrolled at the Faculty of Health Sciences for the 2020-2021 academic year. Results :A total of 640 students correctly completed the form. The mean age was 24.66 ± 2.7 years. The sex ratio (M/F) was 2.5. The students had a good knowledge of the risk factors for cervical cancer ; but knowledge of risk factors of ovarian, endometrial, vaginal, and vulvar cancers was low. The main source of information was the courses at the Faculty of Health Sciences. Factors associated with knowledge of risk factors of cervical cancer were age (p-value = 0.0002), female gender (p-value = 0.0001 ; ORa = 2.46; 95% CI [1.31 -3.36]) and the fact of having followed a course on cervical cancer (p-value = 0.0073 ; ORa = 1.68; 95% CI [1.25-32.08]). Having done an internship in the gynecology department was the only factor associated with knowing the risk factors for ovarian cancer (p-value = 0.00001; ORa = 2.29; 95% CI [1 ,64-2.72]) and endometrial cancer (p-value = 0.0045 ; RCa = 2.63; 95% CI [1.56-3.07]). Conclusion :The knowledge of risk factors of the gynecological cancer by the students of the FSS is relatively low, varying according to the type of cancer. It appears to promote self-learning for an improvement of this knowledge.

“…The media was the information channel for half of them. Serhier et al [6] made the same finding where the source of information on breast cancer risk factors among medical students in Casablanca was mainly media 25% and the web 24%. The Faculty of Medicine as a source of information was cited by 7.7% of students.…”

“…The risk factors for breast cancer were poorly known to women in our study. In a Faculty of Medicine in Casablanca, the knowledge of risk factors for breast cancer among students was slightly low with an average of just 10.6 (standard deviation of 2.9) [6]. Benaicha et al [7] noted in a population of Moroccan women using care facilities that for the symptoms of breast cancer, the highest level of knowledge was breast mass (72.2%) and the lowest level was "elevated breast retraction" (41.3%).…”

Introduction: Breast cancer remains a global public health problem. In Benin, it is the first type of cancer developed by women and it causes an important morbidity and mortality. Objective: The purpose of this study is to assess women's knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding breast cancer screening in a hospital located in the southern side of Benin republic. Framework and study method: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study exploring the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of women regarding breast cancer screening. The population studied was made of women of 30 years old minimum admitted at the mother and child hospital (HOMEL) from July 1 st to September 30 th 2017. The data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Results: The participation rate to this survey was 67.1%. The average age of the respondents was 35.2 years old with extremes ranging from 30 to 48 years old. They were traders by profession (43%) with a level of education not exceeding the primary school in 42% of cases. They had heard about breast cancer in more than 9 out of 10 cases; by the media in half of the cases. Breast cancer risk factors were unknown in 51% of cases; Breast self-examination was practiced by 57% of the women, 6% of which conducted it properly. More than 8 out of 10 women (84%) had never been screened for breast cancer. Conclusion: Public awareness must be strengthened by all available means, including media, schools and social gatherings and waiting areas in primary health care centers.

“…The sample size (N) was calculated according to the following predictive equation (Serhier et al, 2020): N = (Z α p (1-p))/i 2 , where "Z α " is the normal deviates for type I error (equal to 1.28 for 90% confidence level), "p" is the percentage of improvement of the main outcome (i.e., 6MWD) post-CRRP in COVID19 patients; and «i» is the precision (i = 0.15). According to a Chinese study (Liu K. et al, 2020)…”

“…First, our study was conducted in an outpatient unit in a low-income country (e.g., Tunisia) and the different components were performed (i.e., exercise-training, education, and nutritional counseling). Second, our sample size was calculated according to a predictive equation (Serhier et al, 2020). Determination of the finest size is a central topic since it helps in avoiding an inadequate power to distinguish statistical effects (Mascha and Vetter, 2018), and it guarantees a representative sample to differentiate statistical significance (Serhier et al, 2020).…”

Post-COVID19 patients suffer from persistent respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, and musculoskeletal health complaints such as dyspnea, chest pain/discomfort, and fatigue. In Tunisia, the potential benefits of a cardiorespiratory rehabilitation program (CRRP) after COVID19 remain unclear. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a CRRP on submaximal exercise capacity, evaluated through the 6-min walk test (6MWT) data in post-COVID19 Tunisian patients. This was a cross-sectional study including 14 moderate to severe COVID19 patients aged from 50 to 70 years. CRRP was performed after the end of patients’ hospitalization in COVID19 units for extensive or severe extents of COVID19. Dyspnea (modified medical research council), spirometry data, handgrip strength values, 6MWT data, and 6-min walk work (i.e., 6-min walk distance x weight) were evaluated 1-week pre-CRRP, and 1-week post-CRRP. CRRP included 12 sessions [3 sessions (70 min each)/week for 4 weeks]. Exercise-training included aerobic cycle endurance, strength training, and educational sessions. Comparing pre- and post- CRRP results showed significant improvements in the means±standard deviations of dyspnea by 1.79 ± 0.80 points (p < 0.001), forced expiratory volume in one second by 110 ± 180 ml (p = 0.04), 6-min walk distance by 35 ± 42 m (p = 0.01), 6-min walk work by 2,448 ± 3,925 mkg (p = 0.048), resting heart-rate by 7 ± 9 bpm (p = 0.02) and resting diastolic blood pressure by 6 ± 10 mmHg (p = 0.045). In Tunisia, CRRP seems to improve the submaximal exercise capacity of post-COVID19 patients, mainly the 6-min walk distance and work.
