Texto completoClinical technology as a profession has been part of the rapid development of modem medical technology in South Africa. From the start the training of clinical technologists consisted of practical in-service training at an academic hospital and a theoretical component completed at a technikon. Questions about the standard of training of clinical technologists have often been raised by members of the profession. An initial opinion pole amongst recently qualified clinical technologists about the evaluation of their theoretical knowledge and practical skills showed that they were not certain what they were tested for in the examinations, or what the practical year mark was awarded for at the end of their experiential training. The question thus arose whether the evaluation of theoretical knowledge and practical skills were really appropriate and relevant. In order to investigate validity of the training process, namely the 'evaluation of clinical technology students, three literature studies were conducted. The first was to determine what acceptable evaluation practice is as regards the evaluation of theoretical content and practical skills. It was apparent from the literature that the inclusion of learning objectives should be the norm for effective goal orientated training and evaluation. The second literature study was conducted to determine the validity of the evaluation of clinical technology students. As a result of this literature study a description was made of the task of professions in the USA similar to clinical technology, the health worker in general and the profession of clinical technology specifically. From this task description it was apparent that the evaluation of clinical technologists' skills should not just include knowledge, comprehension and application, but that one should also test for analysis, synthesis and evaluation. The third literature study conducted was to determine whether Bloom's taxonomy for cognitive objectives could be used to provide a measure of the validity of test items. As a result of this literature study a classification of test items from final year papers was done to determine the cognitive level on which questions were formulated. v This analysis of test items showed that questions were mainly formulated on the knowledge level and did not provide for higher order skills as demanded by the task analysis of the clinical technologist. Referring to the evaluation of practical skills an analysis of the methods used by trainers to award the practical yearmark showed that training and evaluation are not being performed in an effective goal orientated manner. The reason is that trainers do not use training objectives for the development of cognitive, psychomotor and affective skills of students. The conclusion is made that performance evaluation of the theoretical content and practical skills of clinical technology students do not satisfy the criteria of validity. To improve the training and evaluation practice, it is recommended that training objectives for theoretical content and practical skills are formulated, that practical performance tests are designed, and that attention is given to the improvement of the training and evaluation skills of trainers and examiners.

Texto completoThe most common cancer in women worldwide is breast cancer. It is also the leading cancer affecting women in South Africa. When breast cancer is detected early, it improves the outcome of the disease and reduces mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge, beliefs, attitude and practice of breast self-examination among female university students. The objectives were, to explore the levels of knowledge of female university students on breast cancer and breast self-examination; to ascertain the beliefs of female university students on breast cancer and breast self-examination; to examine the attitudes of female university students toward breast cancer and breast self-examination and to determine if female university students regularly practice breast self-examination. A Mixed method descriptive design was used for this study. The selected site for this study was a higher education institution in the Western Cape. The population included all female university students in the Western Cape. The sample was female university students studying in the selected higher education institution who reside on the institution’s campus. Convenience sampling was used to select the sample. Two methods were used to collect data; these were questionnaires and face-to-face interviews. Questionnaires were analysed by the use of Microsoft Excel and Statistical Package for Social Sciences. Frequency Distribution was used to analyse descriptive statistics. Interviews were transcribed and analysed by using coding and thematic analysis. Participants lacked knowledge on breast cancer risk factors, as majority of them only knew about family history being a risk factor. Majority of the participants had never been educated by their healthcare provider on breast cancer and its screening. Most of the participants had never examined their breast before. Most of the participants who did not examine their breast did not have any knowledge on how to do BSE. Education on breast cancer and cancer as a whole should be initiated in high schools and higher institutions of learning as part of their curriculum. Posters on breast cancer screening and breast self-examination should be put up at public places and campuses. Breast awareness campaigns must be done every month not only in October which is the breast cancer awareness month. Health care professionals should give information on breast cancer to women when they visit the hospital or health centre

Texto completoNesta tese, à luz do prisma filosófico, empreendemos um olhar que abrangeu o pensamento médico filosófico desde a Antiguidade até a Revolução Terapêutica. Nosso olhar contemplou: na Antiguidade, uma época em que houve uma estreita colaboração entre Filosofia e Medicina, baseada na pesquisa mútua dos aspectos etiológicos, quer da enfermidade da alma, quer daquela do corpo; foi a época do nascimento e apogeu da Analogia Médica; na Idade Média, identificou um estado de hibernação da Analogia Médica no século XII, seguido de um leve despertar no século XIII, a volta a um estado de adormecimento e o despertar definitivo, no século XV; na Renascença, captou a retomada dos textos médicos e a queda do saber galênico tradicional; na Modernidade, finalmente, diagnosticou o início do distanciamento entre os saberes filosófico e médico, com o respectivo definhamento da Analogia Médica. Desde então, nosso olhar aprofundou se nas idas e vindas do saber médico filosófico, especulando as causas e consequências desse distanciamento, e chegou à conclusão de que o legado deixado pelo pensamento médico moderno orientou e orienta a Medicina contemporânea para um sentido de desumanização em relação à pessoa do paciente. Por fim, depois de tanto ver, nossa razão assentiu para a necessidade de uma reforma na Medicina, principalmente em sua paidéia, baseada numa próxima colaboração com a Filosofia a fim de receber subsídios quando à questão central de qualquer procedimento terapêutico: qual é o ser do ser humano?
In this Thesis, using the light of the philosophical prism, we undertake an examination embracing medical philosophical thought beginning in antiquity, continuing up until the Therapeutic Revolution. Our view contemplates: in antiquity, a time during which there was a strict collaboration between Philosophy and Medicine, based upon mutual research of the etiological aspects of disease not only of the soul but also of the body; it was the time of the birth and apogee of the Medical Analogy; during the Middle Ages it was possible to identify that the Medical Analogy had entered a state of hibernation in the twelfth century, followed by a slight awakening in the thirteenth century, returning to a state of sleep, with the final awakening occurring in the fifteenth century; during the Renaissance it captured a return to the medical texts and the fall of traditional Galenic knowledge; finally during the Modern era we have diagnosed the initial phases of a distancing between philosophical and medical knowledge, with a respective weakening of Medical Analogy. Since the Modern era our examination has focused upon the vacillations of medical philosophical knowledge, speculating upon the causes and consequences of this distancing, and our examination found that the legacy left by modern medical thought has oriented and continues to orient Modern Medicine towards a dehumanization in relation to the person of the patient. Finally, we concluded that medical reform is needed, principally, in its Paideia, based upon a closer collaboration with philosophy, with the intent to provide subsidies to help answer the central question of any therapeutic procedure, which is: what is the nature of the being of the human being?

Texto completoThis thesis describes and analyzes the Navy's service short courses available to medical professionals. The description covers course content (subjects being taught), describes contact hours (time a class is taught), and evaluates the depth and breadth of content. The information from each course is compared to the needs of a medical treatment facility (MTF) manager, as determined by the Naval Postgraduate School 'Needs Assessment'. This examination shows that many Navy medical professional service short courses cover parts of the knowledge and skills needed to manage a medical treatment facility. The courses examined focus mainly on leadership and management skills. In order to more accurately describe and analyze these courses, obtaining more detailed information, observing the courses being taught, and interviewing course instructors is recommended.

Texto completoBakgrund. CoGNIT är ett datoriserat testbatteri för kognitiv bedömning som används vid diagnos och behandling av patienter med idiopatisk normaltryckshydrocefalus (INPH). Sjukdomen orsakar bland annat symptom som demens. Till skillnad från andra sjukdomar med liknande symptom, som Alzheimers, kan INPH motverkas. CoGNIT utförs av en patient före och efter dränering av cerebrospinalvätska. Om en förbättring av patientens kognitiva förmågor upptäcks efter dräneringen, shuntoperaras patienten och alla symptom minskas. Testbatteriet är långt och tråkigt, vilket gör det svårt för personer med kognitiva nedsättningar att slutföra. Syfte. Syftet med denna studie är att omarbeta CoGNIT med noggrant utvalda speldesignelement och analysera hur prestation och användarupplevelse påverkas av förändringen. Om användare presterar bättre i en spelifierad miljö kommer validiteten av insamlad data att förbättras eftersom datan borde bättre återspegla deras kognitiva förmågor. Ett annat mål är att introducera spelifiering till det medicinska området. Metod. Speldesignelement valdes ut och utformades baserat på dess lämplighet för äldre och med de funktionsnedsättnigar som INPH-patienter har i åtanke. En spelifierad prototyp utvecklades och testades med friska individer mot originalversionen i ett experiment. Effekterna av spelifiering på prestation undersöktes genom att jämföra poängvärden från båda versionerna av testet. Deltagarna fyllde också i ett frågeformulär som "proxy" för testets målgrupp, vilket innebär att frågorna besvarades med hur deltagarna förväntade sig att en kognitivt nedsatt person hade svarat. Svaren användes för att undersöka effekten av spelifiering på användarupplevelsen. Resultat. Den spelifierade versionen av CoGNIT visar en förbättring i testsegmenten som utvärderar uppmärksamhet, psykomotorisk hastighet, exekutiva funktioner och fingerfärdighet, men en försämring i segmenten som utvärderar minne. Resultat från frågeformuläret indikerar att den spelifierade versionen upplevs mindre dramatisk, mer lekfull, mindre "testliknande" och mindre tråkig jämfört medden icke-spelifierade versionen. Detta visar att de tillagda spelelementen påverkar användarupplevelsen som önskat. Slutsatser. En övergripande positiv inverkan på både prestanda och användarupplevelse från spelfiering fastställs. Den negativa effekten på minnestesterna kunde inte bedömas vara en orsak av spelifiering i sig.

Texto completoThe results showed that the responses did not always correspond to task requirements. There was a general tendency to focus on specific details that the subjects understood at the expense of the global aspect of the question. There was a greater variation in performance within groups than between groups. The results also suggest that undergraduate education may have less influence on the performance in certification examination than residency training. The importance of developing examination questions with high construct and criterion validity is discussed.

Texto completoENGLISH ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and Cryptococcus neoformans are the most common causes of chronic meningitis in South Africa. Conventional microbiology has limited utility in diagnosing these pathogens due to the paucibacillary nature of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the diagnostic delay associated with culturing methods. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of an in-house polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method for the detection of the etiological agent of chronic meningitis. METHODS CSF samples (where volume exceeded 5ml) were submitted to the Medical Microbiology diagnostic laboratory of the Tygerberg Hospital from patients with suspected tuberculosis meningitis (TBM). Following routine bacteriology, the sample was used to inoculate two mycobacterial growth indicator tubes (MGIT A and B) and subsequently incubated in the BACTEC 960 automated system. MGIT A followed standard operating procedures and the time to culture positivity was noted. Weekly aliquots (up to 6 weeks) were removed from MGIT B. These samples were boiled to inactivate the bacteria and then the DNA was extracted using the Promega Wizard SV Genomic DNA kit. The DNA was then speciated by PCR and high-resolution melting analysis (HRM) by using primers specific to either the RD9 region of MTB complex or primers specific to the partial internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1), 5.8S rRNA gene and partial ITS2 sequence of C. neoformans. RESULTS Routine CSF microscopy indicated that 14 of the 78 patients (17.9%) had typical CSF findings of TBM (lymphocytes predominant, increased protein levels and decreased glucose levels). IV Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) stains were positive for 12 (15.4%) samples, and MTB was cultured from 19 samples (24.4%). Our optimized PCR and HRM method was able to detect M. tuberculosis in 17 of the 19 culture positive specimens with a sensitivity of 89.5% and a specificity of 62.7%. The sensitivity of this method was higher than that of direct microscopy. In all of the PCR positive samples, the time to detection, compared to culture, could be shortened by 1 to 2 weeks. Only one sample was positive for Cryptococcus culture and another sample was positive with a Cryptococcus latex test. PCR for Cryptococcus was positive in 2 cases (n=78), sensitivities and specificities could not be reported due to the low number of positive cases. CONCLUSION We demonstrated that a short culture period and the use of commercial DNA extraction kit on CSF samples increases the sensitivity of molecular tests to diagnose tuberculosis. Furthermore, the molecular techniques could significantly reduce the time to positivity of results, when compared to culture. Due to the low occurrence of Cryptococcus in the samples included in our study, we could not comment on the diagnostic utility of PCR in the diagnosis of Cryptococcal meningitis, when compared to the conventional methods.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: INLEIDING Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) en Cryptococcus neoformans is die mees algemeenste oorsake van kroniese meningitis in Suid-Afrika. Routine mikroskopie dra beperkte waarde in die diagnose van hierdie patogene as gevolg van die klein hoeveelhede organismes wat in die SSV (serobrospinale vog) voorkom en die lang tyd wat dit benodig om hierdie organisms te kweek. Hierdie studie beoog om die diagnostiese waarde van ‘n polymerase ketting reaksie (PKR) metode wat intern ontwerp is te evalueer vir die identifikasie van patogene verantwoordelik vir kroniese meningitis. METODES SSV monsters (waarvan die volume 5ml oorskry) en waar daar ‘n kliniese vermoede van tuberkulose meningitis (TBM) was, is na die diagnostiese Mediese Mikrobiologie laboratorium van Tygerberg hospitaal gestuur vir roetine bakteriologiese ontleding. Die oorblywende monsters is gebruik om twee mikobakteriële groei-indikasiebuise (MGIT A en B) te innokuleer en hulle is geïnkubeer in ‘n BACTEC 960 geautomatiseerde sisteem. MGIT A is volgens roetine diagnostiese metodes geanaliseer en die tyd tot ‘n positiewe resultaat is aangeteken Weeklikse monsters (tot en met week 6) is uit MGIT B verwyder en die monsters is gekook om sodoende die bakterië te inaktiveer. Die Promega Wizard SV Genomiese DNS ekstraksiemetode is gebruik om die DNS te versuiwer. Spesiëring van die DNS is deur middel van ‘n intern ontwerpte PKR en hoëresolusiesmeltingsmetode (HRS) gedoen met inleiers wat spesifiek is tot die RD9 gedeelte van die MTB kompleks en inleiers spesifiek tot die gedeeltelike interne getranskribeerde spasieerder 1 (ITS1), 5.8S rRNS geen en die gedeeltelike ITS2 DNS volgorde van C. neoformans. VI RESULTATE Roetine SSV mikroskopie het aangedui dat 14 uit 78 (17.9%) pasiënte tipiese SSV bevindings van TBM (oorwegend limfosiete, verhoogde proteïene en verlaagde glukose) gehad het. Ziehl- Neelsen (ZN) kleurings was positief vir 12 (15.4%) monsters, en MTB is gekweek in 19 (24.4%) van hierdie monsters. Ons geoptimaliseerde PKR en HRS metode het daarin geslaag om M. tuberculosis in 17 van die 19 kultuurpositiewe monsters aan te toon met ‘n sensitiviteit van 89.5% en ‘n spesifisitiet van 62.7%. Die sensitiwiteit van die direkte PKR was hoër in vergelyking met mikroskopie. In al die PKR positiewe monsters was die tyd tot aantoning, in vergelyking met kultuur, verkort met 1 tot 2 weke. Slegs een monster het C. neoformans gekweek en ‘n ander monster was positief met die kriptokokkale latekstoets. PKR vir C. neoformans was positief in 2 gevalle (n=78). Die sensitiwiteit en spesifisiteit van die C. neoformans PKR kon nie bepaal word nie weens te min gevalle. GEVOLGTREKKINGS Ons het aangetoon dat ‘n verkorte inkubasieperiode en die gebruik van ‘n kommersiële DNS ekstraksiemetode op SSV monsters die sensitiwiteit van die molekulêre tegniek vir die diagnose van tuberkulose verhoog en dat hierdie metode die tyd na positiwiteit aansienlik verkort in vergelyking met kultuur. Weens die lae getalle van kriptokokkale meningitis in ons studie kon ons nie kommentaar lewer op die akkuraatheid van PKR in die diagnose van kriptokokkale meningitis, in vergelyking met meer konvensionele metodes, nie.

Texto completoThe aim of this study was to investigate self-perceived oral health (SPOH) and factors affecting it, among adults in the Swedish county of Kalmar. The study is part of an epidemiologic study conducted in 2010-2012. The sample for this study was comprised of 380 individuals, randomly selected, who participated in a clinical examination with a concomitant questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of 56 questions concerning e.g. patient perception of oral health and socio-economic situation. The final study population consisted of 189 women (49.9%) and 190 men (50.1%). The individuals were 20-90 years, with a mean age of 52 years. Self-perceived oral health was statistically defined by one question of the questionnaire: self-assessed oral health as compared to contemporaries of the same age, and termed SPOH. The clinical variables analysed were number of own teeth, DMFT (Decayed, Missed, Filled Teeth), gaps between teeth and risk assessment (sum of the dentists assessment of caries risk, periodontal risk, technical risk and general risk). The background variables were age, gender, education and ethnicity. Bivariate correlations and regression analyses were conducted with SPOH as dependent variable, and with background factors and clinical variables as independent variables. Significant correlations were found between SPOH and age (p<0.01), DMFT score (p<0.01), number of own teeth (p<0.01) and the dentists’ risk assessment (p<0.01). Higher SPOH was associated with increased age, increased number of own teeth and decreased DMFT. A consistency between the clinician’s assessment of the patient’s oral status and SPOH was shown in the correlation between these two variables, which implies that a higher risk assessment is associated with a lower SPOH.

A toxoplasmose é uma protozoonose causada pelo Toxoplasma gondii, de distribuição mundial e que acomete todos os animais homeotérmicos, incluindo o homem. Apresenta desde quadros assintomáticos a manifestações sistêmicas graves. Nos seres humanos a infecção atinge com maior gravidade principalmente indivíduos imunocomprometidos e gestantes, sendo que a primoinfecção, pode levar a óbitos, abortamentos, natimortos além de lesões severas do sistema nervoso central. Técnicas sorológicas precisas de fácil aplicação a campo e de menores custos, podem auxiliar na promoção de medidas de prevenção e controle, mas para isso é importante garantir a produção de antígenos em quantidade e de qualidade, a fim de atender as necessidades do método empregado, para garantir a sua padronização. A produção in vitro de taquizoítos de T.gondii usando células de sarcoma murino TG180 em histoculturas, mostra-se uma alternativa viável para a produção de antígeno de T. gondii, em quantidade e qualidade para uso no diagnóstico dessa infecção utilizando-se o Método de Aglutinação Direta, o que pode permitir sua difusão como um teste rápido a campo, possibilitando a sua utilização por profissionais autônomos ou unidades de saúde, podendo-se assim agilizar com uma maior rapidez as ações de prevenção dessa zoonose.
Toxoplasmosis is one protozoonosis caused by Toxoplasma gondii, of world-wide distribution and that acomete to all the animals, including the man. It presents since without symptoms until serious clinical manifestations. In the human beings the infection reaches with bigger gravity immunocompromised patients individuals mainly and pregnant woman, being that the primary infecction, it can take the deaths, abortions, stillborn beyond severe injuries of the central nervous system. Serologicals techniques of easy application in the field and of lesser costs, can assist in the promotion of measures of prevention and control, but for this it is important to guarantee the production of antigens in amount and quality, in order to take care of the necessities of the employed method to guarantee its standardization. The production in vitro of taquizoitos of T.gondii using cells of sarcom murine TG180 in histoculture, reveals to a viable alternative for the antigen production of T. gondii, in amount and quality for use in the diagnosis of this infection by the Direct Agglutination Test, what it can allow its diffusion as a fast test in the field, allowing its use for independent professionals or units of health, and thus allowing to a bigger rapidity in the actions of prevention of this zoonose.
