Full textOur aim in this study is to establish a structural analysis of the novel 'Memoirs of a dinar' written by Danesh in 1946. In the first part, we study the narrative units which build this story. Thus, 'Memoirs of a dinar' is divided into narrative chains : each of them shows a character looking for something, motivated by social reasons like the poverty. An opposite agent always thwarts this act of search and induces its failure. This permanent failure aims at showing a society in moral crisis. In the second part, we analyse the characters of the novel, screening their relationships, actors and agents. We deduce that all characters are stable and could be ranked, according to moral standards, as good or bad. In the third part, we follow the time in 'Memoirs of a dinar'. The relations of order, duration and frequency are studied when comparing between the time of the novel and the time of the story. In the fourth part, we study the place in the novel. We find that it has a leading role by marking us feel the reality of events. The last part analyses the different perspectives of this novel : ideological, psychological. Spatiotemporally and expressive, we demonstrate that the dinar is an intern narrator, participating to the events and wise. At this end, we conclude by highlighting the leading role played by 'Memoirs of a dinar' in the evolution of the Arabic story

Full textBackground Postpartum depression is the most common psychopathology encountered in the period following childbirth. In addition to increasing the risk of maternal suicide and infanticide, it is associated with significant morbidity, adversely affecting the patient, infant and family. Despite postpartum depression being an important public health issue it remains poorly recognised and underdiagnosed. The current South African context in which obstetric care is delivered to patients focuses predominantly on physical health. No screening policy for postpartum depression is currently recommended in South Africa. The aim of this study was to determine the proportion of patients at risk of postpartum depression by screening mothers at six weeks postnatally using the Edinburgh postnatal depression scale. Methods Patients delivered by vaginal delivery and caesaerean section at Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital were randomly selected from delivery records for recruitment to the study. A baseline sociodemographic, medical and obstetric questionnaire was completed at the enrolment visit in all patients that consented to participate. Participants were then contacted telephonically six weeks later. The Edinburgh postnatal depression scale was sent via text message to patients and they were allowed time to respond at their convenience. Participants were contacted to retrieve their responses and formulate scores. Screen positive patients were identified by a score of thirteen or greater on the Edinburgh postnatal depression scale or a positive response to thoughts of self or infant harm and were offered referral to the department of psychiatry. Results A total of 178 patients were screened for postpartum depression using the Edinburgh postnatal depression scale. The main outcome measured was the proportion of screen positive participants who exceeded the threshold score on the Edinburgh postnatal depression scale or responded positively to thoughts of deliberate self or infant harm. Forty-eight participants screened positive resulting in 27.0% of the study population being at risk of postpartum depression. Sociodemographic, medical and obstetric variables were analysed in screen positive compared to screen negative participants to establish possible correlations between these variables and outcome. None of the variables proved to be significantly associated with being screen positive for postpartum depression. Conclusion The results of this study when compared to the prevalence findings of local and international studies suggest that postpartum depressive symptomology is common in urban South Africa. Since this study did not establish a statistically significant relationship between possible predisposing factors and the risk of postpartum depression, no specific variables have been implicated in predicting postpartum depression in our study population. These findings support the need for universal screening for postpartum depression in South Africa. Further research to investigate risk factors for postpartum depression in a South African setting is recommended.

Full textIntroduction Invasive prenatal testing is the gold standard of prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities. Outcomes of invasive prenatal procedures have been studied previously, however it has not been looked at in a resource poor, tertiary setting in South Africa. Aim and objectives The aim of this study is to review the outcome of invasive prenatal testing at Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital (RMMCH) from January 2014 to May 2016. The main objectives of the study were to evaluate invasive prenatal testing in terms of indications, ultrasound markers, cytogenetic diagnosis, complications and pregnancy outcome. Methods The study took place at RMMCH, a regional academic hospital in Johannesburg which performs approximately 12 000 deliveries annually. Charts were reviewed retrospectively for patients who underwent invasive prenatal testing. Results Ninety-seven patients were identified and 96 results obtained. The main indication for invasive prenatal testing was abnormal ultrasound findings followed by advanced maternal age. In total, 12,5% of test results were abnormal, including two patients with Trisomy 13, two with Trisomy 18, two with Trisomy 21, two with Klinefelter syndrome, one with a balanced translocation, one with cystic fibrosis, one with spinal muscular atrophy and one with Wolf-Hirschorn syndrome. The miscarriage rate was 1,5%. There were four terminations of pregnancy directly related to an abnormal invasive test result. Conclusion It is expected that in a resource restricted area where biochemical screening is not available that advanced maternal age and ultrasound findings are the main reasons to lead to invasive prenatal testing. The rate of abnormalities found is higher than internationally quoted and the miscarriage rate higher than the internationally accepted 0,5-1%, this is likely due to selection bias and sample size. The study shows that an invasive testing service can be successfully run in a resource restricted setting but ongoing education of the availability of the service in the public sector is needed.

Full textChildren’s right to participate in decisions affecting them is still a challenge despite the laws and guidelines. In South Africa, this right has not received the attention it deserves, because of government’s commitment to issues like HIV/AIDS. The aim of the research was to understand the views of children, parents and health professionals with regards to decision- making at Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital. A total of 51 health professionals, 28 children and 28 parents were interviewed using questionnaires. The study looked at participants’ knowledge of the right of children to participate in decisions and the way health professionals communicated with children and parents. Findings: There was good knowledge amongst health professionals, but most children (75%) did not know their right. Most children were not consulted about diagnosis (60%), procedures and treatment (71%). Health professionals lacked age appropriate ways of communicating with children. On the whole, children (71.4%) preferred doctors to speak to parents. Conclusion: There is a need to educate children about their rights and to train health professionals on effective communication with children. Health professionals need to give children a chance to express their opinion even if they do not make the final decision.

Full textIntroduction: National and international child and adolescent mental healthcare policy and action advocate that the health and well-being of children in South Africa should be increasingly given greater attention. Child and adolescent services have recently been established at Rahima Moosa Hospital. The purpose of this study was to describe the scope, capacity and diagnostic profile of existing child and adolescent mental health and psychiatric services at Rahima Moosa Hospital within the context of the available infrastructure and service rendering and to describe the demographic and clinical profile of the users. Method: A descriptive, retrospective clinical audit study of the data from users‟ clinical files was performed. The study population comprised all users treated at the Rahima Moosa Hospital over a one-year period from January to December 2007. Descriptive statistical analyses of demographic and socio-economic variables were made and these variables were compared with the presenting clinical problems. P-values of less than 0.05 were regarded as significant. Odds ratios were also calculated for variables that showed a statistically significant association. Results: During this period a total of 303 users attended this clinic. Their age, gender, race and catchment area was reviewed. Socio-economic variables that were described included caregiver of user, placement, parents‟ well being and marital status, educational level of caregiver and household income. Most common disorders were Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Mood, Anxiety, Elimination, Attachment, Disruptive behaviour disorders and V-code diagnoses. Although not regarded as psychiatric diagnoses, V-codes are problems that are the focus of clinical attention. These include 5 sexual abuse, academic problems and parent-child relationship difficulties. Statistical comparisons between demographic data and disorders revealed that being male increased the likelihood of presenting with AHDH and disruptive behaviour disorders; being female increased the likelihood of being sexually abused. Race showed a significant association with parent-child relationship difficulties. Regarding socio-economic variables, the identity of the caregiver of the child influenced the risk of disruptive behaviour disorders, sexual abuse, neglect and academic problems. Placement was a risk factor for disruptive behaviour disorders, sexual abuse, neglect and academic problems. Whether the mother of a user was alive or deceased was related to ADHD and disruptive behaviour and whether the father of a user was alive or deceased was related to sexual abuse and academic problems. The education level of the caregiver showed a significant association with sexual abuse, neglect and academic problems; the marital status of the parents showed a significant association with bereavement. Household income was associated with sexual abuse, neglect and academic problems. Type of housing showed an association with the risk of sexual abuse. Discussion: This study clearly demonstrates the huge impact that socio-economic circumstances have on the prevalence of childhood disorders; hence the urgent need for government and social welfare departments to improve on the socio-economic status of communities. Job creation and employment will lead to better outcomes and help lower the incidences of childhood illnesses. The focus should be on preventative measures, that is, improving the social well-being of both children and their parents, which will result in lower prevalence of disease. Moreover, interventions in schools and children‟s homes should be 6 implemented. The provision of psycho-education for the group in the catchment with regard to identification of mental health problems can contribute to the early detection of mental illness and early intervention leading to a reduction in disease. Conclusion: In spite of government‟s initiative to prioritise child and adolescent mental health services in South Africa, further endeavours are required to improve psychiatric services among this section of the population, including more clinics and child psychiatry training posts and extended social work services. Socio-economic factors influence the prevalence of childhood disorders. Hence, modifying the environment to which these children are exposed is an integral part of the holistic treatment approach

Full textBackground Pre-eclampsia and its complications remain a significant cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality on a global level. There are few data regarding the maternal and fetal outcome of pre-eclampsia at term. Studies suggest that poor maternal outcome is more prevalent as one approaches term, while there are conflicting findings regarding the outcomes of the babies born to term pre-eclamptic patients. Objective To determine the prevalence of pre-eclampsia in term pregnancies at Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital (RMMCH), a hospital that provides district and higher level referral services, and to assess the severity of maternal disease in pre-eclampsia at term, as well as fetal outcomes. Methods This was a prospective cross-sectional, descriptive study on women giving birth at term with pre-eclampsia. All women were followed up until delivery. The indication for and mode of delivery, maternal progress and complications, as well as fetal outcome, were recorded. Results Seventy-eight patients were entered into the study, giving a hospital prevalence rate of pre-eclampsia at term of 1.2%. The major maternal complications were those of severe hypertension (75.6%), eclampsia (9%), HELLP syndrome (3.8%), and pulmonary oedema (7.7%). There was one maternal death. Fifty-one patients (65%) delivered by caesarean section. Major fetal complications encountered were respiratory distress (7.5%) and birth asphyxia (3.7%). There was one neonatal death from meconium aspiration.

Full textBackground Induction of labour implies the artificial initiation of regular uterine contractions before the onset of spontaneous contractions with the purpose of achieving a vaginal delivery. This study aimed to compare the use of oral misoprostol and vaginal dinoprostone to determine differences in the labour process and the delivery methods. Maternal and fetal outcomes were also compared. Methods This is a prospective cross-sectional analytical study using medical record review at the Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital (RMMCH) in Newclare, Johannesburg. This study included all women undergoing the induction process, who met inclusion criteria from 01 January 2016 to 30 April 2016. Results This study included 95 women. Forty-nine women received dinoprostone and 46 women received oral misoprostol. There was minimal heterogeneity between the demographics of the two groups. The differences in the indications for induction were statistically significant (p = 0.001). There was no statistical difference in the time from induction to delivery (p= 0.18), the duration of labour (p=0.10) or in the time from induction to onset of labour (p= 0.37). There was a caesarean section rate of 32.7% in the dinoprostone group and 43.5% in the oral misoprostol group (p=0.30). There was no statistical significance between fetal and maternal outcomes. Conclusions This study yielded no difference in the labour process, time to delivery, or maternal and fetal complications between the two groups. Labour was initiated in more patients in the dinoprostone group and dinoprostone resulted in fewer c/s than misoprostol, however this was not statistically significant. There was no difference in neonatal and maternal outcomes. The use of dinoprostone or misoprostol is therefore equally effective in our setting. A larger study or RCT is recommended to adequately assess neonatal and maternal complication rates.

Full textContext: Universal Newborn Hearing Screening (UNHS) is not routinely performed in South African state-run hospitals. Early identification of hearing impairments and subsequent early intervention, results in improved speech and language development and overall better cognitive outcomes. Objectives: We aim to investigate the number of neonates which could be screened for hearing deficits using the currently available staff and equipment, at a single institution over a set period of time, and to describe the outcomes of the screening test. Design, setting and patients: A prospective feasibility assessment conducting screening hearing tests on neonates born at a secondary level hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa, during a three month period. Methods: Hospital-based Audiologists conducted a risk factor assessment, otoscopic examinations and Distortion-Product Otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) testing on the ears of eligible neonates. Repeat testing was carried out on neonates who presented with refer findings on the screening test. Testing time and challenges encountered were recorded. Analysis: Data was entered into Microsoft Office Excel ©, and later analysed using STATA I/C version 11©. v Results: Of 2740 neonates born during the study period, 490 (17.9%) were identified for screening and DPOAE testing was conducted on 121 (4.4%). The majority (74.4%) were screened in the first 24 hours of life. Repeat testing was required in 57 (47.1%) neonates, but only 20 returned for follow-up. The presence of vernix caseosa and excessive ambient noise were factors negatively impacting on the screening process. No maternal or neonatal risk factors were found to be significantly associated with refer findings on the screening test. Conclusion: The existing staff was unable to screen a significant number of neonates using DPOAE testing during the study period. Implementation of UNHS under current circumstances at this research site would likely not be feasible.

Full textUrinary tract infections (UTIs) are an important cause of morbidity in children in developing countries and increasing antimicrobial resistance is reported in many countries. This retrospective study describes the performance of urine dipsticks, the aetiology and the antimicrobial susceptibility of paediatric UTIs at Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital, Johannesburg. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of results from patients investigated for UTI over a four year period between January 2009 and December 2012 in the Department of Paediatrics & Child Health at Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital. RESULTS: Escherichia coli was the commonest isolated uropathogen. Dipsticks sensitivity to identify UTI was 40% for leucocyte esterase and 34% for nitrites. The specificity was 94.6% for leucocyte esterase and 96% for nitrites. Malnutrition was associated with greater risk of having a UTI, with odds ratio of 2.06 (95% Confidence interval 1.4-2.9). In addition malnourished children tended to present with more resistant uropathogens. Resistance to sulphamethoxasole/trimethoprim and cephalexin has been progressively increasing between 2009 and 2012. From 64% to 79% for sulphamethoxasole/trimethoprim and from 24% to 63% for cephalexin. CONCLUSION: Positive urine dipsticks results allow immediate patient treatment but negative results need to be interpreted within the clinical context due to a high rate of false negatives. Malnourished children are significantly predisposed to urinary tract infections and tend to have more resistant uropathogens. Resistance to cephalexin is rising and studies to assess patient outcomes are needed to determine whether cephalexin still has a role in the treatment of paediatric UTI.

Full textINTRODUCTION: Cranial ultrasound is a cheap, effectiveand easy to use modality for the evaluation of cranial pathology in very sick paediatric population.It can be performed as a portable imaging investigation and repeated as many times as possible. New improvements in sonography equipment and technique make it possible for cranial ultrasound to compete with CTscanners in terms of identifying pathology. AIM: To determine the adequacy of cranial ultrasound requests and reports atCharlotte MaxekeJohannesburg Academic (CMJAH) and Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospitals (RMMCH) with regards to their completeness, accuracy and clinical relevance. METHOD: A retrospective review of 191 cranialultrasound requests and reportswas performed at two academic centres.A collection sheet (Appendix B)was developedby the principal investigator and supervisor guided by literature with regards to the information required within the cranial ultrasoundreport. A scoring method was then developed with a maximum score of 3 givenfor therequestadequacy and of 14for report adequacy. RESULTS: Only 49.74 % of the requests met the criteria for an adequate request.The mean report adequacy score was7.03 out of 14 withastandard deviation (2.02. Overall 50.26 % of the requests, scored average (2) and below average score. The most commonly reported variable was the presence or absence of hydrocephalus and the least reported was resistive index. vi CONCLUSIONS:Results demonstrate that requests and reportsof cranial ultrasoundare not adequateat both centres.

Full textIntroduction Endometrial cancer is the most common Gynaecological cancer in developed countries, however, in South Africa it is ranked only the eighth highest. Previous research has shown that black women are diagnosed at a younger age, have a higher incidence of type II endometrial cancer and uterine carcinosarcoma and have a worse overall survival than white women. Government hospitals are busy with large numbers of patients seen daily resulting in longer waiting times for patients requiring surgery and adjuvant treatment for cancer. Patients and Methods This was a retrospective cross sectional descriptive study of patients diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma and uterine carcinosarcoma at Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital (RMMCH) between 2009 and 2013. Patient files from both RMMCH and Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Hospital (CMJAH) were reviewed. Patients were initially seen at RMMCH, some underwent surgery and they were then referred to CMJAH for adjuvant treatment. Files from both hospitals were reviewed. 55 files were obtained at RMMCH and 50 patients were referred to CMJAH for further treatment. Results The most common histological types of endometrial cancer were low grade adenocarcinoma (34.54%) and uterine carcinosarcoma (25.45%). 56.36% of patients presented with early disease (stage 1/2) and 43.64% with advanced disease (stage 3/4). The overall disease free survival was 75.67% at one year, with 8.10% of patients with metastases and 16.21% of patients having died within one year. 53.70% of patients waited less than 62 days until definitive management with 14.81% who waited for more than six months for surgery. Conclusion We found a high frequency of patients with uterine carcinosarcoma which may account for the low disease free survival at one year after adjuvant treatment together with the fact that a large proportion of our patients present with late stage disease. Our study found long waiting times between presentation and treatment with poor follow up by patients. Improved patient education and counselling together with ‘fast tracking’ of oncology patients may be instrumental in better patient adherence and outcomes.
