[Value of omeprazole in the treatment of collagenous colitis].
The authors report the case of a patient suffering from collagen colitis in whom the administration of omeprazole achieved the rapid and total abolition of the clinical signs and a significant reduction of the collagen band (measurements determined over 10 cryptic spaces using a graduated micrometric ocular microscope). Although the outcome of this disorder is variable, with the possibility of spontaneous recovery or, more frequently, of remission, the authors consider, in their conclusions, that omeprazole may have a beneficial effect in this disorder even though the mechanism for this has not been established.

[Epidemiology of filariasis (onchocerciasis and bancroftosis) in the Tala-Mokolo region (Mandara Mountains of North Cameroon)].
The effect of the bancroftian filariasis on the health of the inhabitants are minimal in the study area, where the prevalence of the disease (nocturnal microfilaremia) is 0.4% only. But skin snips harboring Onchocerca microfilariae are seen in 12.1% of the sample studied. Onchocerciasis skin lesions, low visual acuity and blindness are often seen in the villages where the prevalence is high, among inhabitants more than 40 years of age. Simulium damnosum is seldom seen in the area, except in the large streams and rivers like the mayo Tsanaga and the mayo Djingliya. Larvae and nymphae of this species hardly succeed in developing on the overspelling of the small dams, this being due more to a discontinuous run of the water in the overspilling than to a to high speed of the water.
