African migrants in Asian and European football: hopes and realities

This paper analyses the integration of Africa in the global labour market of football through the study of players' migrations to Asia and Europe. The presence of African footballers in the latter continent is analysed via a statistical survey carried out in September and October 2008 on a sample of 456 top division clubs in 30 European countries. The article emphasizes that the aspirations placed on football by male African youth, as a means of upward social mobility, are often too high when compared to the harsh realities of a transfer market based on commercial logics, which each year push many footballers away from the professional game.

Gender difference in the response to an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor and a diurectic in hypertensive patients of African descent

Résumé de la thèse en français Titre : Différence entre hommes et femmes dans la réponse à un inhibiteur de l'enzyme de conversion de l'angiotensine et un diurétique chez des patients hypertendus d'origine Africaine. Introduction: L'efficacité des inhibiteurs de l'enzyme de conversion de l'angiotensine (ACEI) dans le traitement de l'hypertension artérielle chez les patients africains est controversée. Objectif: Nous avons examiné la baisse de la tension artérielle ambulatoire (ABP) en réponse à un diurétique et un ACEI chez des patients hypertendus d'origine africaine et nous avons évalué les différentes caractéristiques déterminant l'efficacité du traitement. Méthodes: Etude en simple-aveugle randomisée, en crossover AB/BA. Arrangement Familles hypertendues d'origine africaine de la population générale des Seychelles. Participants : 52 patients (29 hommes et 23 femmes) sur 62 patients hypertendus éligibles ont été inclus. Le principal résultat était la mesure de la réponse de l'ABP à 20 mg de lisinopril (LIS) ou 25 mg d'hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) quotidiennement pendant quatre semaines. Résultats: Le jour, la réponse systolique/diastolique de l'ABP sous HCT était de 4.9 (95% intervalle de confiance (IC) 1.2-8.6)/3.6 (1.0-6.2) mm Hg pour les hommes et 12.9 (9.216.6)/6.3 (3.7-8.8) mm Hg pour les femmes. Sous LIS, la réponse était de 18.8 (15.022.5)/14.6 (12.0-17.1) mm Hg pour les hommes et de 12.4 (8.7-16.2)/7.7 (5.1-10.2) mm Hg pour les femmes. La nuit, la réponse systolique/diastolique sous HCT était de 5.0 (0.6-9.4)/2.7 ((-0.4)-5.7) mm Hg pour les hommes et de 11.5 (7.1-16.0)/5.7 (2.6-8.8) mm Hg pour les femmes, et sous LIS était de 18.7 (14.2-22.1)/15.4 (12.4-18.5) mm Hg pour les hommes et de 3.5 ((-1.0)-7.9)/2.3 ((-0.8)-5.4) mm Hg pour les femmes. L'analyse de régression linéaire multiple a montré que le sexe est un prédicteur indépendant de la réponse tensionnelle à l'HCT et au LIS. Conclusions : Les patients hypertendus d'origine africaine ont présenté une baisse tensionnelle plus grande en réponse au LIS qu'à l'HCT. Les hommes ont mieux répondu au LIS qu'à l'HCT alors que les femmes ont répondu de manière similaire aux deux traitements.
