“…more than 35 years old, delivered more macrosomic babies than those mothers who were below 35 years old. This nding is consistent with several previous studies (19,(23)(24)(25)(26). Similarly, Said et.al and Kenny et.al (21,27), reported that the risk of high birth weight increased signi cantly with advancing maternal age (27).This may be due to the fact that with increasing the age of a mother, there exists the effect on metabolism, thereby accelerating the velocity of growth in the baby.…”

Background: Globally, there is an increase in the prevalence of high birth weight. In Sub-Sahara African countries, including Ethiopia, weighting newborns at birth are not well addressed thereby awareness of high birth weight is limited. In this paper, we aimed to assess the between-region variability of the prevalence and identify the associated factors with high birth weight in Ethiopia.Methods: The study is based on the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey which is conducted in 2016. A total of 2110 newborns across all regions of Ethiopia are included in the study. The multilevel logistic regression model is applied to identify the associated factors of high birth weight and to evaluate the variation of the prevalence of high birth weight across the regions of Ethiopia. Results: The prevalence of high birth weight in Ethiopia was 10.4%. Based on our analysis, mother's age, residence, mother’s educational level, mother's body mass index gestational age, socio-economic class, and the sex of the newborn baby were the significant factors associated with high birth weight. With inter-class correlation of 14%, there is a significant variation of high birth weight among the regions of Ethiopia.Conclusion: Controlling mother’s BMI, strengthening follow up for elder women and women in high socio-economic class, and prevention of post maturity (≥40 weeks) gestational age could be effective personal and public health measures to combat high birth weight in Ethiopia.

Aims: the objective of this work was to determine the resistance phenotypes and the epidemiological profile of microorganisms associated with female infertility at the CHU-ME of N’Djamena. Materials and Methods: we conducted a prospective, cross-sectional and analytical study on women admitted for maternity desire at the CHU-ME of N'Djamena and consenting from June 1, 2022 to February 26, 2023. Isolation and identification microorganisms responsible for female infertility were carried out in the laboratories using standard clinical microbiology methods. Results: Of the 122 patients included in this series due to infertility, 88 (72.13%) tested positive for microbial infection compared to 34 (28%) negative tests (p = 0.01). The average age of infertile women was 34.24 years with extremes ranging from 19 to 45 years. The age groups most affected were 25 to 31 and 32 to 38. Primary infertility was 71.31% and secondary 28.68%. The microorganisms most associated with infertility were Chlamydia trachomatis (25.30%), Mycoplasma hominis (17.90%), Candida albicans (16.66%) and Staphylococcus aureus (16.04%) Streptococcus agalactiae (10 .49%) and Ureaplasma spp (8.14%). The risk factors most associated with infertility were advanced age (18.85%), surgical interventions (17.25%) and ovulation disorders (19.39%). The antecedents most associated with infertility were cesarean section 44 (36.07%) followed by miscarriages 29 (23.77). The sensitivity of bacterial and fungal agents to antibiotics and antifungals was varied. The majority of bacteria were resistant to Cyclins, Betalactams and Macrolides with proportions of 66%, 47.66% and 34% respectively. Strains of Ureaplasma spp and Mycoplasma homonis develop average resistances of 86.52% and 36.16% respectively against fluoroquinolones. The fungal strains were sensitive (54.33%) to the azole derivatives and resistant (70%) to the polyenes tested. Conclusion: The present study made it possible to determine high prevalence of microorganisms and risk factors associated with female infertility. It also highlighted high prevalence of resistance of bacteria to beta-lactams and fluoroquinolones and of Candida albicans to polyenes.

“…In Europe, on the other hand, the frequency of macrosomia is almost homogeneous around 5% despite small variations in some countries: 4.5% in France and 4.7% in Italy [11]. In Africa, although this prevalence varies with the socioeconomic level and other definition criteria according to each country [12][13][14]. In Mali, we have not recent data on this subject.…”

Macrosomia is a concern in the daily practice of the neonatologist. The aim of this work was to investigate the sociodemographic, clinical and survival aspects of macrosomic neonates. It was a retrospective and descriptive study ran from 01/01/2017 to 31/12/2019. Were included, all macrosomic neonates hospitalized in neonatology service during the study period. Fortysix macrosomic newborns were included, accounting for a hospital frequency of 0.71%. The predominant maternal age group was 20-29 years. Pregnancy was monitored in 73.9% of cases. Gestational diabetes represented 30.4% of cases. Pregnancy term was not specified in 43.5% of cases, and was exceeded in 6.5%. The main complications recorded were a serosanguineous bump observed in 41.3% of cases, clavicle fracture in 10.9%, cephalohaematoma in 6.5%, humerus fracture and obstetric brachial plexus palsy in 2.2% each (Figure 1). Hypoglycemia was observed in 39.1% of patients, 13% of whom died. Newborns were hospitalized for perinatal anoxia in 52.2% of cases, followed by neonatal infection in 47.8% and respiratory distress in 41.3% (Figure 2). At least a quarter of newborns (26.1%) were resuscitated at birth. The average hospital stay was 5.39 ± 2.902 days, with extremes ranging from one to twelve days.
