    The long-term legacy of the Khmer Rouge period in Cambodia

    The author studies the long-term impact of genocide during the period of the Khmer Rouge (1975-79) in Cambodia and contributes to the literature on the economic analysis of conflict. Using mortality data for siblings from the Cambodia Demographic and Health Survey in 2000, he shows that excess mortality was extremely high and heavily concentrated during 1974-80. Adult males had been the most likely to die, indicating that violent death played a major role. Individuals with an urban or educated background were more likely to die. Infant mortality was also at veryhigh levels during the period, and disability rates from landmines or other weapons were high for males who, given their birth cohort, were exposed to this risk. The very high and selective mortality had a major impact on the population structure of Cambodia. Fertility and marriage rates were very low under the Khmer Rouge but rebounded immediately after the regime's collapse. Because of the shortage of eligible males, the age and education differences between partners tended to decline. The period had a lasting impact on the educational attainment of the population. The education system collapsed during the period, so individuals-especially males-who were of schooling age during this interval had a lower educational attainment than the preceding and subsequent birth cohorts.Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Public Health Promotion,Demographics,Early Child and Children's Health,Early Childhood Development,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Demographics,Adolescent Health,Early Childhood Development,Early Child and Children's Health

    A sero-epidemiological approach to explore transmission of Mycobacterium ulcerans

    The debilitating skin disease Buruli ulcer (BU) is caused by infection with Mycobacterium ulcerans. While various hypotheses on potential reservoirs and vectors of M. ulcerans exist, the mode of transmission has remained unclear. Epidemiological studies have indicated that children below the age of four are less exposed to the pathogen and at lower risk of developing BU than older children. In the present study we compared the age at which children begin to develop antibody responses against M. ulcerans with the age pattern of responses to other pathogens transmitted by various mechanisms. A total of 1,352 sera from individuals living in the BU endemic Offin river valley of Ghana were included in the study. While first serological responses to the mosquito transmitted malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum and to soil transmitted Strongyloides helminths emerged around the age of one and two years, sero-conversion for M. ulcerans and for the water transmitted trematode Schistosoma mansoni occurred at around four and five years, respectively. Our data suggest that exposure to M. ulcerans intensifies strongly at the age when children start to have more intense contact with the environment, outside the small movement range of young children. Further results from our serological investigations in the Offin river valley also indicate ongoing transmission of Treponema pallidum, the causative agent of yaws

    The voice of Jesus in six parables and their interpreters

    'Figures of speech' provide a suggestive key for approaching the question of Jesus' individual tone of voice. Apprehending a figure implies insight into an intention, and beyond intention to discern unconscious influences upon the speaker. This is the conceptual framework for a study of the 'voice of Jesus' in six parables peculiar to Luke (10:25-37; 15:11-32; 16:1-9; 16:19-31; 18:1-8; 18:9-14) and in commentaries upon them. In the premodern era commentators approached the parables with an immediacy of insight, seeking the divine intention behind the texts. Nevertheless we may hear the voice of Jesus echoing in their commentaries in morally specific tones. In the work of Jülicher 'insight', though repudiated, is still important, as he seeks the intention of Jesus through the figure of simile. Jülicher offers insight into Jesus as a passionate communicator, but goes beyond Jesus' intention in making him a propounder of generalities. More recently a concern with the intention of Jesus is replaced by a concern with how his voice was heard. The necessity of insight remains apparent in B.B. Scott's use of metaphor as an interpretative key. An impression is given of Jesus as a provocative subversive. In their context in Luke-Acts, the parables function as metonymies of the gospel, and yield an impression of the voice of Jesus as suggestively concerned with the life of this world. In the ministry of Jesus the parables function as synecdoches, offering hearers a realistic and hopeful 'part' of the world from which they must fashion a 'whole’. Against the background of Scripture the parables display a deep continuity with older forms of discourse, but also important tokens of newness. A stream of influence can be traced from the Old Testament, through Jesus and Luke, and on through their interpreters, though recently its course has been somewhat diverted

    Introduction : bien que minimisées en Afrique subsaharienne, les pathologies Ano rectales sont fréquentes et variées. Objectif : étudier les aspects épidémiologiques, les différentes manifestations cliniques et les aspects endoscopiques de la pathologie Ano rectale à Bangui. Patients et méthodes : Étude rétrospective à partir des comptes rendus d’endoscopie digestive basse réalisée au CHU Communautaire de Bangui.  L’âge, le sexe, les indications de l’examen ainsi que les lésions anales et rectales rencontrées ont été recueillis. La classification endoscopique de GOLOGHER a été utilisé pour classer les maladies hémorroïdaires. Résultats : nous avons réalisé 38 Anorectoscopies représentant 28 homme (73.7%) et 10 femmes (26.3%) soit un sex-ratio de 2,8. L’âge moyen était de 45,6 ans ±13,3 avec des extrêmes de 22 et 86 ans. Les fonctionnaires représentent (42,10%) suivi des commerçants (21,1%) et des femmes au foyer (13,1%). L’indication la plus fréquente est la rectorragie (35,6%) suivie des constipations (21,1%), douleur abdominale (7,9%) la proctalgie (7,9%). La maladie hémorroïdaire occupe la première position avec 18 cas soit 47,36%, suivie d’aspect inflammatoire 10 cas soit 26,3%. La tranche d’âge de 41 à 60 ans présente dans 62% la maladie hémorroïdaire grade I de Goligher et 60 % garde II. Les 20 à 40 ans présentent 37,5% grade I et 30% grade II. Les hommes présentent 17 cas de maladies hémorroïdaires soit 94,44%, les femmes 1 cas soit 5,56%. Les fonctionnaires représentent 44,45% suivi des commerçants 33,15%. Conclusion : Les pathologies Ano rectales sont fréquentes dans notre service, dominée par la maladie hémorroïdaire représentant plus de 90% des hommes touchant plus les fonctionnaires et les commerçants du sexe masculin.   Introduction: although minimized in sub-Saharan Africa, Anorectal pathologies are frequent and varied. Objective: to study the epidemiological aspects, the different clinical manifestations and the endoscopic aspects of Ano rectal pathology in Bangui. Patients and methods: Retrospective study based on reports of lower digestive endoscopy performed at the Community Hospital of Bangui. The age, the sex, the indications of the examination as well as the anal and rectal lesions encountered were collected. GOLOGHER's endoscopic classification has been used to classify hemorrhoidal diseases. Results: we performed 38 anorectoscopies representing 28 men (73.7%) and 10 women (26.3%) i.e. a sex ratio of 2.8. The average age was 45.6 years ±13.3 with extremes of 22 and 86 years. Civil servants represent (42.10%) followed by traders (21.1%) and housewives (13.1%). The most common indication is rectal bleeding (35.6%) followed by constipation (21.1%), abdominal pain (7.9%) and proctalgia (7.9%). Hemorrhoidal disease occupies the first position with 18 cases or 47.36%, followed by inflammatory aspect 10 cases or 26.3%. The age group of 41 to 60 years presents in 62% the grade I hemorrhoidal disease of Goligher and 60% guard II. The 20 to 40 year olds present 37.5% grade I and 30% grade II. Men present 17 cases of hemorrhoidal disease, i.e. 94.44%, women 1 case, i.e. 5.56%. Civil servants represent 44.45% followed by traders 33.15%. Conclusion: Anorectal pathologies are frequent in our service, dominated by hemorrhoidal disease representing more than 90% of men affecting more civil servants and male traders
